Fieldwork appreciation thread

Sooooooo many releases these days from everyone. Not enough time to drive and pick these things up and definitely not enough room in my fridge.

 

So much beer...Now it's fridge plus counter plus giving many away lol

 

That is really interesting to hear. I just got a bunch of Trillium but only have one Pulp left, so limited opportunity to taste test but definitely still interested in seeing how it holds up. Pulp is my favorite beer at Fieldwork.

And just because you mentioned it, Contains No Juice is just stunning!

 

I have always liked Pulp, but this last batch was amazing. Same with the last batches of Super St Thomas and St Thomas. I think it is safe to say Fieldwork has left the Galaxy Juice/Sauce fiasco from a few months back well behind them. That said I did not get any of the new Hazy Train cans or Tiger Uppercut (which I thought was just Ok when i had a pour a few weeks back)...

I still have another Fort Point, Bright, and also Heavy Metal from that shipment, as well as Special Drops from Aslin, Juice from Civil Society, and Hair Raiser from Exhibit A that I will put up against my last Contains no Juice, Vengeful Barbarian, and my Galaxy Juice crowler tomorrow night (my wife is gone lol). Will be interesting to see how it goes blind.

 

Dude nice, you got some awesome beers ahead of ya! I really liked this batch of Pulp too, loved the St Thomas... I have a few cans of Hazy left at home, I'm really enjoying these. Had a few Galaxy Juice on Saturday at Fieldwork Berkeley which I really enjoyed.. .speaking of which I have a can of that at home waiting for me!

 

FWIW, a trader I sometimes trade with for Narrow Gauge asked for crowlers of the Top 10 USA Today Breweries of 2016, including GN, Veil, Answer, Fieldwork, Brew Gentlemen, etc. Him and his buddies cracked up all 20 crowlers over a weekend. To them, Fieldwork Pulp was easily the clear winner.

 

I probably should've only gotten 16 Pulp instead of 24 so that I'd have room for Hazy Train.

I have a (beer) dream. That dream is Grove Stand or Saint Monroe cans.

Ok, so I'm drinking Alvarado Street Contains No Juice and Heavy Mettle from Trillium right now and they are so similar. Both amazing.

 

I am shocked they haven't done a can run of Grove Stand yet either. I had that same dream right after they released it on tap....haha...

 

This. Both of those beers are top three hoppy Fieldwork beers for me. Especially Saint Monroe, that beer was a melon and peach bomb. I've been anxiously awaiting its return.

 

Just got the first paid pour of Power Glove and a couple crowlers to send back East earlier today :-D

It's definitely good, but if you're expecting Fieldwork Pulp or Noble Nuclear Haze level of haziness you'll be disappointed. Definitely more of a hybrid like the Instagram description says. Like most Fieldwork DIPAs it hides the booze almost too well lol

I'll be picking up a couple 4 packs for sure when the cans go on sale, but won't be waiting in line or anything.

 

Grove Stand was awesome, Monroe was great too. Might stop by Berkeley tonight for a few beers... There's too much good beer! Fridge is already packed full, so doubt I'll pick up any Power Glove cans. I suppose there are worse problems to have...

 

I don't think power Glove DIPA cans are on sale until tomorrow or Friday. I only got a crowler earlier today.

 

Yea, I meant I probably won't pick any up once the cans are out. On my way to Fieldwork Berkeley now!

 

Cans available Saturday. 12 can limit pp

 

No one talking about it so I'll be first. Picked up 6 cans of Power Glove. Haze bros will cry.

This is a new school hops version of a West Coast DIPA with extra malty sweetness. The malt isn't cloying but it definitely makes itself known. The hop bill is mostly citrus, but then rounds itself with some undefined tropical notes.

That being said, for 8.8%, this is one of the better Fieldwork beers I've had and one of the better DIPAs I've had. I hate boozy taste and I feel this one dials that back.

 

I guess the Noble collab drove the hype. Longer line than I've seen in a while for a can release. Thought I'd get here at 11;30 and wait maybe 10 minutes. Still, not as bad ass it could be!

 

That's why I drove to Napa instead. Super chill

 

Yeah I mentioned it the other day, but this is not the hazy beer people were probably expecting. Still pretty good though and worth picking up since there haven't been many high profile IPA can releases lately.

 

I was blown away by Stereotypical. Power Glove is good too.

 

Bringing back the WEST COAST ipa!
