Thankfully it ran into the bump limit as it had become pestillent with shit posting from hipsters looking for the "historical peasant beer -the pale lager" who know fuck all about brewing history. For the bud/pbr crowd: know that American adjunct brewing pre prohibition was state of the art and following the most modern tastes. It is not le plebian beer of the ancient masses. For the anon asking about the hardy's: it's pretty complex flavor wise: I tasted fig and date pretty strongly. I would compare it pretty favorably to drinking a nice port. No noticeable carbonation and still has some pretty upfront alchohal. To be fair: the guy I trade for the Hardy's put up a bunch of this vintage and we have been opening 1 or 2 a year for about 10 years. I can honestly say it drinks differently from what I remember from the previous time every time we open it. I can say that 25 yr is the brewery recommended aging period and that from what I have read and experienced with it... don't be in a hurry. It only gets better.

Tl;Dr drink the hardy's when your feeling like it and can share it. It shouldn'tdisapoint.
We opened some other cool stuff: one of the family's at new years had crazy new Glarus stuff for days and it was a pretty fun beer night.
Just opened this one. Only got a few Trappists lying around now so could be time to either restock or go back to whiskey and rum.

Saw this at my work. Is this really worth 10 bucks?
Stocked up on beer from back home over the holidays. I also got some new glassware.
Visiting my parents in florida for a week, picked up a sixxer of Kirin Ichiban, Let the mediocrity commence.

Most breweries would charge more like $16-$18 for a top tier sour beer like that

Which one of their 30 production breweries are you local to?

Why would anybody buy this when something better is literally 1-2 dollars more? I understand the need for economic beer, but if you're going to spend less than 10 bucks on a twelve pack at least make it session or rolling rock.

>Why would anybody buy this when something better is literally 1-2 dollars more
High Life and PBR, the best of the cheap beers are probably the same price
>10 bucks on a twelve pack at least make it session or rolling rock.
Why would you ever buy cheap beer in anything besides a 30 pack? You definitely want to avoid the light lagers, but the amongst the shitty not quite light lagers they are all almost identical besides a few crazy cheap ones

Do you know if they still make stone soup? I've been dying for some but my family can't find it anywhere.
All these double IPAs taste the same to me
Good, but the same
>>7229571
Didn't make it this year, probably will make it again at some point, they don't have a set rotation of which 6 pack beers they do each year but they do rotate

Get some citra-y DIPA

It's like it's the almonds of beer.

UGh, thnaks anon, but I need my stone soup. You know of anything similar to it?
Drank these this weekend. Discovered this local liquor store with a pretty decent beer selection, definitely going back for more Eric's ale and the gose in the middle.

one of the best beers I have ever had
Some Surly is horribly overrated but Todd is fucking great

coors light is truly nectar of the gods.
Had one of these on tap at the brewery last night, deciding what to drink tonight while I watch the Vikings eventually blow it

How was the La Folie? I just had my first few sour beers at a local brewery that mostly does wild ales and I've been looking to try some more.

If you are looking in Wisconsin try this.

All of the beers were very good. I haven't had many brown ales but I love sours so I decided to try it, it was my least favorite of the bunch but still very good. New Belgium has a lot of info about it on their site.

As a Packer fan, I'm not even sure I want to win, that trip to Washington looks a bit easier
Drinking one of these while cooking dinner. It's been my go to for a while.

According to their site I should be able to find some of both the next time I go through Houston, so I'll try then. Thanks - didn't realize how good of a beer locator NB had on their website. Usually I'll just grab some Fat Tire or Snapshot from my local Spec's.
Drinking this with dinner. Went well with the chicken pad thai. Hope you guys had a nice weekend! :^)
First I finished my last Bell's porter, drank a Stone Delicious IPA, now I'm about to finish my bomber of La Fin Du Monde and then work through the rest of my Delicious until I pass out. Wish me luck
