Sand City (2019)

One/half is pretty amazing for 6%.

 

I missed out on Power of One cans but got a growler, awesome beer , I love it.

 

Yep, excellent. Beers can be under 10% with no tose and still be very good. I don’t think Sand City has made an IPA that is not a collab that has the tose, I hope they don’t start. Good ole fashioned straight up IPAS.

 

They didn’t can it.

 

Yes they did, the week before this week on Monday I believe, I was going to grab cans but I was away for work that week.

 

Haha, not only was I wrong, I bought a 4-pack of it. Jesus I’m stupid.

 

Lol!

 

Hmmmm....there’s a coffee barleywine on their tap board right now. Interesting.

 

The BBA version was put in cans and released today. Hitting up the taproom tmrw for sure!

 

Yeah I saw that. If you go and try it, please put your thoughts down in this thread.

 

Definitely. I doubt I’ll try a glass due to the ABV and the requirement of going back to work but ill definitely have a can while cooking dinner tmrw night.

 

Lol, good I can’t go until Thursday anyway.

 

I caved and am having a 5 oz at the brewery. Initial impression is a coffee-forward american barleywine (very hoppy, not smooth like an English style). Not getting much bourbon but after second look the beer is not BBA, the coffee is. I can see the bourbon coming into play more as it warms up.

Id give it 89/100 right now. Definitely worth a pick up. Going to get 8 cans and age some. I prefer my barleywines with some age on them.

 

The barleywine is much smoother out of the can compared to the pour I had earlier. Soooo good.

 

So Choice is amazing. A welcome change from the chicken broth/creamy haze beers their last couple DIPAs have been (ha, not that I’m complaining that much). Melon presence on top of some serious dank. Awesome.

 

Couldn’t go today. Got Diamond in the Rough, love that beer but super green now.

 

I think you all know I’m the biggest SC fanboy out there but I’m hoping this is a one-off.

This was the one I had last week.

 

Blame Dancing Gnome.

 

It was canned in Northport.

 

Holy crap, that’s nuts!
