hope to be able to make some
of the later releases

What happened, they sell out early Vic?

BlackDog · 03-27-2010, 10:20 AM

Vic, sorry that's not working out. I think the whole "limited release" thing has gotten out of hand. Getting tickets so I can stand in line and buy beer just doesn't make for much fun in my book. Surly's "Darkness Day" here in Minneapolis is the same way. I'm sure they are great beers, but I'm not interested in wrestling in line to be one of the first 800 people (in Surly's case) so I can buy their beer. For Three Floyds' Dark Lord Day, tickets were $20 each. Buy tickets to stand in line to buy beer? Not for me.

I just picked up a 4-pack of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. I'm enjoying a glass of it now. The first few sips I picked up on an awful metallic after taste. Future sips though were much more enjoyable. It's enjoyable but maybe a little too "burnt" tasting for my liking.

Not sure what temp you are drinking this at, but IMHO this beer needs to warm-up to be fully enjoyed.

Saw this posted up and thought it was interesting about the Founders KBS.

"KBS will be available in ten states: MI, OH, IN, IL, WI, MA, NJ, PA, NC, and SC."

Agreed! I drank that glass of beer pretty slowly and the warmer it got the better it tasted. By the end, I was definitely enjoying the beer. I wasn't blown away by it but it was good.

I hear you Warren. I've never been to one of these brewery events, and thought I 'd check it out. Seems like an awful lot of trouble though.

Today's MA run got me 3 bottles of the SN 30th Anniversary, 2 bottles of the Lost Abbey Angel's Share, a six pack of Founders Red Rye, and a growler of a local, Opa Opa Raspberry Wheat. It was a good trip.

You've still got Nemesis? That sold out in about 14 minutes here in MN. I consider myself rather lucky to have landed one 4 pack.

Sauer Grapes · 03-29-2010, 07:10 PM

Got three bombers of Sublimely Self-Righteous today. Thinking I should have bought more as I love that beer.

I'm going to go back and buy everything in that picture tomorrow.
@ $23/4pack, I'd appreciate any leads on nearby housing since my wife will have my ass!

Let me know if you ever need some Bank- and must part with a few
