    oh and we're counting down the days until the ABV rises to 10.2% on Sunday. Thing is that state revenue said the higher alcohol content beers could not be within the state's borders until July 1. So reports are that Abita will have trucks loaded and ready to go at the stroke of midnight, Yazoo may also be able to get some in stores that day and Lazy Magnolia's new high gravity beer will be in stores as well. The thing i don't get about it is that Lazy Magnolia has obviously been brewing the new beer in state, so haven't they been in violation of the law? ;):lol:

    I took a tour of Deschutes Brewery in Bend last summer and became an became an instant fan of their beers. Black Butte Porter is fantastic.

    Ahhh, Red Hook ESB! I always forget about that one when I think back to my "gateway" beers. I tend to think of Sam Boston Lager, Newcastle, and much later SN Pale Ale. Ironically, ESB was how I learned to enjoy (and now be obsessed with) the bitter side of beers.

    Gonna have to grab an ESB next chance I get just to see how it's held up.

    Haha, I have a few tucked away in my beer closet that I've been looking for an excuse to crack open. Not exactly your average refresher-after-work beer. Packs a wallop!

    Word. I'll give it a look when I'm there in a few weeks.
  • strilostrilo Posts: 483
    Elysian is from Seattle? Yeah their beer is awesome. Also, recently I was at the Pike Brewing Company. That was a nice brewpub with good beer.

    Nice! I have 4 in my basement. On the opposite end of that spectrum tonight and enjoying a 60 minute IPA.

    Is there any chance anyone that someone out there will access to the 120 would be willing to buy and ship me a 4-pack :?: More than happy to cover all costs of course.

    Unfortunately the state of TX pulled label approval for the holy grail of hopheads a little while back (well, apart from Pliney the Elder/Younger and Hopslam of course - neither of which can you get here either :( ), after the brewery had that unfortunately incident where they had to recall an entire batch...

    I'd really love to be able to try the 120, but unfortunately I cannot get my hands on it :(... acutally DFH has been having issues getting anything new into this state since that point in time, which is a real tragedy... first it was problems with the distributor, now it's TABC issues... I just want me some DFH... they got the Festina Peach in here a few weeks back... first new item in TX from them in a looooooooooooooooooong time... and unfortunately i'm not a big fan of anything wheat based...

    Anyone willing to help, please shoot me a PM.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I'm currently having a Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA and it's fantastic. In the past 3 days I've had Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye, Firestone Walker Double Jack and Moylan's Hopsickle. Not a bad week on the hop front.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    That's a good 3 days.

    Last night I had Green Flash Imperial IPA, in which all I could taste was pepper and weed. It was really weird, especially after how much I liked Palate Wrecker. Also randomly had some Sam Adam's Barleywine (called Griffin's Bow or some such). Believe it was oak-aged. Definitely my least favorite barleywine so far, but I'd drink it again. I really like barleywines...even though I type "BARELYwines" everytime and have to edit it. :lol:
