beer Being Crafty

That is one of the reasons I poured it into a baby snifter. I got three good pours from it, that I enjoyed while cooking dinner.

I bet this is a good cabin brew. Any lick on your hunt?

Not on the deer front. We all got skunked.

I live by a few brewerys but since my County sucks, I can't take nothing home with me...

Boooooo!

I want to start frequenting some local breweries. That is why I was asking about the growlers. I pass 2 just on my 8 minute drive from the ferry everynight.

I enjoy the suffering through one of those about every other month or so ...
 
While I can handle the alcohol fine, I would be well-served by a 6-8 oz pour ...

Could not agree more. Once it's warms up too much your drinking sweet bourbon.

I love this beer, but there is a point of no return on its greatness for me.

I was at a local spot tonight with my wife. 5 mins from my house. It's great. He just released his imp stout and ba aged this week. Cashed out the keg in 3 days and is almost sold out of the ba bottles.

Yup. It's the anti-quaffer ...

Big change from hopalicious but still a good beer

bit of a coppery, fruit spice taste to it.

I just bottled up the coffee vanilla porter...just in time to drink for Christmas! I threw two vanilla beans, and 2.5 ounces of premium espresso beans on the beer on Sunday. After a taste and smell, it was definitely ready to be bottled tonight. It's going to be an epic brew to enjoy this Christmas and New Year.

Nope , don't like it. Has a very dishsoapy aftertaste.

Sounds tasty! I love vanilla

breweries that do growlers here , will only fill their own branded ones. Makes it a bit of hassle if you want to frequent a few of them. We have lots of room but for some reason it bothers my wife to have a bunch of empty growlers kicking around.   I just have one now from my favourite place and just buy bottles or cans from the others. 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Oh man that sucks. A sale is a sale. I once got someone else's growler back, different logo. Hope it was clean lol. Took it back next time and got a brewery one again. They looked the same.

 

[grantmichaels]

they don't want other brewery's growlers getting walked in to be filled ...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I know that's what Ashen just said lol.

 

[grantmichaels]

You're the one who said 'a sale is a sale' ...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Yeah here they don't care as long as it's the right shape for the nozzle.

In most places breweries are 'in it together, versus the macros' ...
 
In other places macros haven't had a footing for a number of years already, and the micro's are in direct competition (basically Oregon) ...
