A cucumber beer? :think:

I'd be very interested in trying that myself but of course no dice around here. But a cucumber beer is kind of like the rogue maple bacon...just too intriguing not to give it a try...the maple bacon wasn't as bad as I feared but could never have finished a bottle solo
The beer is actually one of my "rare beers of the month" for July.... i guess it should be getting delivered sometime soon.... will be interesting I guess... not sure how I feel about the concept of a cucumber beer either...
the June shipment (which only showed up on monday) was Flanders Fred and Zomberhop, both belgians.... they should be interesting to try... hopefully I'll get to crack at least one of them the weekend, although the 75 minute IPA is on deck first...
gonna head back to the beer store this evening and see if I can grab some more Burton Baton... had 2 of them last weekend for the first time, and it was amazing... such a good brew that i must have more...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.0 -
Burton Baton is good stuff.I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.0

oh man... I got to try it for the first time last week... stupidly i only bought a four pack... I drank two of them and went back to the beer store to get another 4-pack... and it was all gone......we don't get a lot of the good stuff from DFH in Texas, and what we do get doesn't last long....
Drinking an Imperial Java Stout from Santa Fe Brewing right now... it is a fantastic brew...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.0 -

that's a damn good haul right there. i had a mini-run on pliney's last year after a trip to RR brewery but no more trips to cali until 2013. i will seek out some RR brews if i make to philly for the MIA festival as i am pretty sure they distribute most of their beers in philly.
i've heard via ba.com that lost abbey is having some QC problems w/their beers, wonder if that is still an issue...San Diego Sports Arena - Oct 25, 2000

Picked up 1 Founder's Devil Dancer, 1 DFH 120 and a 12 pack of Dales Pale Ale last night. This portion control of specialty beers is annoying. Now I have to go back today to get one more of each on the way home.Alright, alright, alright!

Was at the my usual store last night checking with the beer guy, trying to see if he had any more burton baton outback on the stash he could slip me.... no dice.
anyway, he said he was getting his shipment of the 10th anniversary today... told me to stop by after work and he'd have a couple of bottles for me, so gonna do that at 5... excited to try it... probably won't get to it for a week or two yet though... 75 minute is up first, then my "rare beers of the month"... then the 10th anny... damn so many beers to try, too little drinking time... :fp:Houston, Texas...
