Wow, so flights are for losers? I thought this thread was for "going out" and enjoying a craft beer. No one seemed to get that which I thought was lame? Whatever I'll let the same two people play in here and keep my flight pics of different breweries in this area out of here.

I wasn't thinking back to that you had posted a flight ... but you're entitled to feel offended, I guess.

I believe I even made the exception for traveling to a brewery, and while CCB's probably only an hour or two away - it's not down the street or anything, for you.
 
Oh yeah that was a good pic!

Don't be so sensitive sic. No one said loser, I buy full size for cost ratio. If I don't like the beer I end up drinking it anyway and change to something else. I like trying stuff full size. Flights work for people that are into the tasting experience and not wasting money by not liking a beer, so it works for cost in that regard also, but, I go to tasting rooms to taste by drinking so I buy 12 or 16 oz. :) Those look like a nice size tho.
 
PS. Most craft bars here give you a taste for free anyway! So no flights for me. If you are asking about a beer they'll say "here try it."
 
No big deal really. Keep posting.
 
One of these days I'll do it, maybe.

The only problem I have with that post, is that the Chocolate Chip Pancake is already gone from the flight, and it's the one I'm not familiar with! =)
 
I'm a loser baby.. :P    first visit to a  recently opened brewery in the next city over.   walked in about 15 mins before closing  to  wait staff that really wanted me to just go away.  screw them, I walked out with 3 mins to spare  and  very disappointed .  A lot of their menu was sold out so it was a limited variety for the flight , but based  on the brewing skillz in these 4 I doubt I will bother with a return visit to try anything else.

5  => Litha Kolsch   can't say I picked up on the elderberry in this but probably the most balanced of the 4 which is pretty faint praise actually  " Your mother is a hamster, and your father smells of ELDER BERRIES!!"
 
4 =>  Zuzu Saision wild sour   I generally like sour  and wild yeast brews but this a definite exception. very unbalanced  with hops trying to cover it up. 
 
9  => Altekrea hefeweisen   I am a big fan of many wheat beers, but this one really made me think they don't have a handle on this brewing thing yet.   bananas and cloves my ass, you let your ferment get too warm.  :shh:
 
8 => Stellar skelly black IPA    I was really hoping that the old save the best for last adage would kick in  , but  even with massive hop profile the backbone of this thing was so unbalanced it  just tasted like bitter burnt hops and molasses. 
 
Thanks for the detail.

Just tried a Bell's Oracle 10â„… wow super boozy reminiscent of a tequila shot. Grant this may be right up your alley. I passed on it and got another Citra. That's what's cool about the free taste. ;)
#flightgate it had to happen :rofl:
 
If I see it, I'll grab a bottle ... the best of the tequila-themed beers I've had is OB's BA Gubna ...
 
I think I may have a can deep on my shelf, still, but I gave my 2nd can from my more recent shipment to TNKS the other week ...
 
Unique beer, and a real ass-kicker ...
 
Not saying it's tequila themed but it was boozy and tequila-like to me

Just on appearance every one of those look like disappointment.
