Nobi Public House Bottle Share

Good times fellas, thanks for all your generosity! Heres a pic of the other side of that table.

 

Yeah way to go bro! haha jk Thanks for the Whiskey Rodeo, it was really nice to have that again.

 

Easily tripled the previous size of our shares - in number of people, number of bottles, and amount of craziness!
Nobi was amazing putting up with us as big as it was. They are awesome, 100% of the time!

 

...I have no recollection of this.

I do remember Alex's fries, though. I did have remorse. I even sympathetically ate one of the fries. It got my fingers really messy. AND it was clean water being poured into a cup for rinsing, which is a little different!

You were double-fistin' too? I knew Lindsey was, but...

 

I think I ended up having at least 54 different brews that day. Possibly more?

 

Aw man.. Really? I enjoyed my false reality where I was talking to Marky Mark.... #Bummed

 

I had 38, and I think that that was enough. WHAT IS WRONG/RIGHT WITH YOU

 

Gotta catch em all Ben!

You teach me and I teach you! Beeeeeeeeeeeer Advocate! Gotta Catch 'em ALL!

 

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL! I-KNOW-CHOW!

 

I bring small taster glasses. To let things warm and to catch up and to keep up with breakneck speed bottle opening problems.

 

I love Crabtree.... guy is an amazingly hard worker, which most people don't know...he'll come back strong from his injury... oh.. and my wife and I both went to Texas Tech.

Now I'm even more sad that I missed college football talk as it is my favorite sport, followed by the NFL, baseball and soccer.

 

Pro ticker.

Speaking of tickers, if anyone wants to know the bottles I brought:

- Sour in the Rye w/ Peaches
- Armand 4' Zomer (summer)
- Fishing with Hallet
- Ferme De La' Ville Provision (by Block 15)
- (shrimp-beer) De Garde Unblended Bueuze #2
- Block 15 Psidium
- Chocolate Rain
- Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock (2012 vintage)
- 2013 Cantillon Iris
- Bourbon barrel aged Kopi Speedway Stout
- Mexas Ranger
- Tropical Tripel (I was surprised at how tasty this was with the coconut and peaches)
- Rodenbach Caractere Rouge

That's all I remember off the top of my head. There were others. DR 10, 11, and 12. I liked 10, but there's way better barleywines fresh than that aged. 11 was interesting with all the hops faded and the malt bill shined. Would not really care to drink again though. DR 12 is wildly varied from bottle to bottle from my experience. Having tried many 12 oz bottles the past year.

 

I looked up the source of the art on that bottle since I loved it so much. This guy is the inspiration after which the beer is named, and the fact that he is known to have fished with dynamite: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/hallet.html

 

Thanks for posting that up Brad!

I was wondering what that Raspberry beer was! (Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock '12) That label was destroyed when I finally got to look at that bottle!

Also the Armand 4' Zomer, I could not read that label to save my life!

 

Also, why were there so many people hating on Pirate Noir?! I thought it was better than both Prairie Noir and Wine Barrel Noir!

Although I will say that the Wine Barrel and Stout character worked well for me!

Also +1 on the Tropical Tripel Brad, that one really worked!

 

I probably was a little harsh on the Pirate - it wasn't bad by any means, but I like the Prairie Noir and especially the Wine Barrel a lot more than it.

 

I haven't had a bad beer from Prairie Artisan. I will say this again, ISO PA Stouts!
