idiot like beer
mmm beer

I used to be obsessed with this one. now that I have more experience, I’m finding it a totally unique DIPA/IIPA… unlike anything else on the market today. try and find it.

this is my number 1 beer. EASY
Trappistes Rochefort 10
Tonight I have been blessed. No, not by a priest or a rabbi. I’ve been blessed by a filled glass. This glass was once full of the mahogany hued elixir of taste, yet as I looked back upon the chalice, nothing remained. One may say that magic was at its work. But no. The cause of this vanishing act was pure tastiness. A delectableness crafted by the monks known so well for, well, delectable fucking beers.
For me, this is the holy grail of the Belgians, and is one that sits highly among the perches of my favourite beers. And for those who have never experienced the sheer joy of the Rochefort 10, your sins will be forgiven as soon as you’ve downed it down the hatch.
And on that note, go forth and get this fucking beer.

3 floyds mega post!
So, i didn’t get any zombie dust, oh well, im sure its great, they were all great. summary: FFF IS MOST HOPPY BREWERY IN TEH PLANET
tasting notes i took along the way:
alpha king
woof. love you. this is just their “APA” ?!?! im sad but glad i didn’t get the zobmie dust
if i would have, i probably would cry and move to chicago. this american pale ale blows away any other pale ale i’ve ever had. period
the malts are super complex, yet not forfronted, also the hops are only really aroma/taste. not bitter at all! HOW U DO?!
super citrusy in a good way. GREAT WAY. orange peal, corieader, etc etc
gumball head
wtf. wheat beer!? SO MUCH HOP. amarillo hop! SO GOOD. its even fucking bottle conditioned. I DUNNO KNOW HOW THEY ARE SO AWESOME.
this tastes nothing like any wheat beer. its a just a APA, or IPA with some interesting backbone. i love amerillo hops. they are hard to get tho (as a homebrewer)
tastes: smooth like butta, lemony like liz lemon. (WONDER IF THEY USED SIRIACHA ACE IF IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE LEMONY!?)
lager
hoppy lager? WTF? WILL HOPS NOT CURE ALL THIGNS? yes they will
pride and joy mild
these guys LOVE their amerillo hops. i do too, BUT SO HARD TO FIND FOR ME!
this is a great mild. full of amarillo hops. i mean FULL
Lord Rear Admiral
Not such a hop bomb like the previous ones i’ve tried. lots of bitter, less of aroma/flavor form the hops.
there is a bit of hop flavor, but not much. the malts are really nice and smooth but still forward. i will try to copy these tricks (probably unsuccessfully) with my homebrew
in the name of suffering
i like black IPAs (OR CDAs if they’re brewed here in cascadia)
this one is OK. and i actually like my homebrew one better! i think my homebrew one is pretty fucking amazing.
the best beer i ever made. ok, enough about me and more about me
dreadnaught
wow this is one strong beer. holy shit im drunk already!!!!
like the alpha king, malt forward, but the hops are more tropical, passion fruit, guava, etc.. IS GOOD SO WHAT
artic panzer woof
holy fuck these guys are the east cost version of every IPA insane brewery out here on the west coast. this one is alot more malt forward, and on the label it says they brew with maltodextrine (does not ferment, so it just adds to mouth feel) and you can tell. not dry, not syrup, pretty perfect.
Behemoth Blonde Barley Wine
OK this one wins. BEST OF THE BATCH
its not a barley wine, its a quad IPA, really. its better than pliney the younger, better than your mama. BETTER THAN YOU.

Big Time Brewing: Whiny the Complainer
a 100000% jab at RR’s pliny the younger. each year i’ve had this, its tasted different. this year, its was nearly 14% and was more like a punch in the face than a barely wine (good thing)one of my fav things big time does (and im pretty sure that they think so too for just the joke alone)

catching up on beer reviews:
two of the ampersand colabos:
1: Chinato Barrel-Aged Saison
tasted a bit weird, like a blend of somesort.. but paired well with the samon dinner.2: Dark Saison Barrel-Aged with Black Truffles and Fernet Blanca
OK. WTF. DONT PUT SROOMS IN BEER! that said, i couldn’t taste any black truffle, but the mouth feel was pretty awesome which im gonna say its from the truffles. -
I’m getting sick and tired of ppl brewing with bugs… so what. infect your beer in you’re own time.

standard brewing’s pale ale — his yeast is great fingerprint. (at Standard Brewing)

standard brewing’s west coast IPA — way more California than cascadia (and this is a good thing) (at Standard Brewing)
