Late Night BA- Thursday Edition

Enjoyed a couple cans of Heady Topper at Teresa's (yes....Heady in Philly burbs!) while doing an IP trade (King Henry for Southampton Black Raspberry Lambic). Now I'm enjoying a few other tasty treats...starting with a Pliny the Elder.

 

Pretty Things Our Finest Regards

 

Indeed especially since it is still available in almost every store!

 

It costs so much to live on LI, the LEAST they can do is through you guys a friggin' bone.

 

Humulus lager!

 

Tell that to all the folks pissed about how much FW and GI we get. Bear in mind we are the suburbs of manhattan.

 

Started with a BR Red Rocket Ale with lasagna. Now onto Consecration, my first RR sour! I've had Stone Double Bastard, but no other sours, and this is unlike any other beer I've ever had...I think I like it.

By the way, had my first Alesmith Speedway Stout last night, and I was disappointed. Looked great, smelled great, even a good taste, but the thinness on the end made it pale next to Wake n Bake and KBS, which I've been enjoying lately.

 

It could be worse. You could live in Manhattan and its costs more and go to LI on weekends. Like me.

 

More NHL game 7's and some Battlefield 3. I was getting owned in the game so I decided to do a beer review and watch some more hockey. Hopefully the Panthers can make this game interesting.

Reviewing:

 

Poured a Bigfoot into the CBS snifter my lovely wife bought for me and listening to some black keys. Sorry no vid, I'm on my phone so I'm not gonna hassle with it. It was 'same old thing' of attack and release though. Cheers all!!

 

Did the manhattan thing for 7 yrs. nice to move out to the burbs and start a family. Also got a job on LI. Every time the wife and I head into the city we laugh about how much we don't miss it....except of course the great craft bars and no need to drive.

 

Started off with a Hoptologist DIPA from Knee Deep Brewing (pretty tasty!) thanks to Kurtis. Now working on a Maduro Brown from CCB. Final day of training at home before the madness of this weekend...

 

moved onto a Native Amber from Coop Ale Works. Cheers ~

For a change, 2 X SNPA followed by an Inversion IPA. Loving it. Thanks bifrost17.

 

Sixpoint Sweet Action with Dinner (Really starting to grow on me)

Next up is Founders Double Trouble.

 

Been waiting to try this beautiful beer for some time now, and thanks to you I am!! Cheers Jeff!!

 

So good. Probably the most underrated CCB beer, it's fantastic and dirt-cheap (7.49 for a four-pack? Yes please), and is absolutely delicious.

 

Homebrewed IPA

 

Heck of a Saturday. Next time you are up try a place on 321 called Foggy Rock. 15 taps, mostly NC. Last weekend i went there and had Olde Hickory Irish Walker, Hoptimum, Seven Devils all on draft. Food specials are good too!

 

Just got back from an awesome hot sauce tasting... soothing the palate with a new one from BBC:

 

First off...jealous on the Pliny...I have been a true beer geek for over 2 years now, yet I have still not gotten my hands on a bottle of Pliny. But either way...had a friends homebrew tonight, a Raspberry Wheat which was pretty tasty. Also shared quality bottle of Port Brewing Older Viscosity...so yeah...

 

Drinking a bomber of Packinghouse Riley's Irish Red. Something seriously off about this beer, but I'll drink it anyways because it's still palatable and it has alcohol. Plus I cannot bring myself to drainpour a bomber.

Ugh, the diacetyl is overpowering the hops!

 

Drinking a Hopslam, and watching the draft. Alternate channel is Impractical Jokers on Tru tv. Damn that show is funny. Have a good one....

 

DFH 120 because I was pissed off all day at work.

 

I doubt you'll be pissed off once you're finished with that!

 

Grew up on LI. Been in city for 14 years with family. On LI a lot and laugh with wife how bad food options are on LI.. Have yo ho to Bayshore for great stuff. Great bottle shops though and I love to drive.

 

getting reacquainted with an old friend tonight. Working on my 3rd Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (3/31/12) of the night out of my Duvel tulip. Fresh 90 Minute is tasting mighty fine with a Rangers win tonight.

 

Well planned idea, wasn't it? =)

 

Or an angry drunk!! Get all small animals and Ming vases away from the man!

 

Haha - I am a happy drunk - never get pissed off drunk. I am an aggressive a-hole sober, lol.

 

Thursday tasting

 

For the first round in the Thursday night beer draft I selected Hop Stoopid. Picked Hopsickle in round 2, watching the draft obviously

 

Haha. Nice. I did the same 120 therapy last week. Here's to happiness my friend! Cheers.

 

I think angry drunks exist because they're getting drunk off of rotgut. We're all happy drunks here!

 

Keeping the Tripel (Trippel) theme going tonight. Enjoying the hell out of New Belgium's take.

 

Did that two days ago...

 

Cracked a Founders Double Trouble, after a Chicago Bears pick that I didn't agree with.

 

One and done tonight
