I decided that rather than reaching out to you guys, I'm gonna ask you to PM me (I've been really busy lately and its not getting better soon)

I'll be at the CSA meeting tomorrow night.

Thats a big road trip... Good luck

No luck needed. Already home. I've never ever drove through Conneticut without hitting traffic. Made it from the Alchemist home in 5 hours. And that's with rush hour around NYC. Somehow there was no traffic :huh:.

All my avenues to get some didn't pan out. Being I'm on vacation, why not :D?

Well played, I had one Saturday morning to celebrate the night/morning of epic failure I had endured... it calmed me and tasted divine

You're killing me. I wish I knew you were stopping by the Edge.

I had a heady topper last night after meeting up with Scratch.... Honestly, I dont think that this beer is as good as everyone hypes it up to be. I think the biggest thing this beer has going for it is the fact that its brewed in a 7 barrel set up and they dont make that much of it, so if you can get it, you have made a major score. I found that it is over hopped to the point that it is in a class all by its own.. perhaps it should really be called a triple IPA??
I had a firestone Walker 'Union Jack IPA' tonight with dinner.. I think that beer blows the Heady Topper out of the water...

That being said, I am psyched i got to try the Heady. Scratch that one off the list.....:uhuh:

The Union Jack IPA is world class and not that hard to get.

My favorite true double IPA is Ghandi Bot. It's sick...

My concern with small volume batches is it's harder to maintain quality. It's great one time then 6 months later not so good.

Gandhi Bot??? Hmmm I will have to seek that one out

Nebe,did you drink it from the can as instructed?
I don't get that.
You should brew a saison,they are great when done right.

I bottled up 5 gallons of saison last weekend :)

Yes, I did drink it from the can. They want you to do that for 2 reasons.. Firstly, they do t want you to see any hops residue floating around..( I have no issue with that). But secondly the beauty of the can is that as the beer is opened and the co2 is released from suspension of the beer, it keeps the oxygen out. Oxygen will effect the flavor of your beer if you take a while to drink it.

Another great IPA from Cali, go figure.

have you tried it?? :love:

It's 12.99 for a 4 pack of 1 pint cans or 72 bucks for a case of 24...not including tax.

I think availability is really hit or miss. They were out early this week, started canning Thursday and were out by 3pm Friday. I'd like them on FB as they seem to update their beer production there.

Fortunately a business meeting this week had me at a hotel about a mile down the road. Nobody seemed to mind as I slipped out for a quick conference call :hihi:

I picked up some extra if anyone local to East Bay, RI is interested. It's not the holy grail but is certainly damn good beer.

Got my order in already!

Tell me when?:

Swing by...I'll reserve you a 4 pack.

After dinking several in a row tonight...*hic*...I think the cool thing about this beer is that Benthic habitats have features that make them acoustically distinct. A benthic habitat will respond to sound waves differently depending on surface hardness and complexity, and these responses, or backscatter intensities, can be used to identify habitat boundaries.

Sorry....

This beer is a really big session beer. It's not supposed to be that killer Imperial IPA that's so over the top. It's a beer you can drink a number of. In that respect it is a bit unique...

In the octupuss's garden we go

I'd like to be under the sea.

Found some Union Jack close by to work this week. Pretty good straight ahead IPA. Still pursuing the Double Jack though.

Thanks again Spence I really liked the Topper. You are right when you say they are a drinkable beer. Although I stopped at 1 yesterday,I don't anticipate that being the case this afternoon. Thanks for thinking of me,

No problem, it was good to meet you again. The hug was a nice touch but not really necessary :gu:

LOL!!
