Salud! $20 a 6er for super hoppy 10% beer isn't too steep IMHO. How do you like it?
After trying it I'm glad I only bought a single. Good but not $20 a six pk good
I personally prefer the Alpha Hive DIPA I sent you the first time Dale.
Heard this year's Hop slam wasn't as good as previous years but maybe the bar has just been raised.
I dunno hard to judge, maybe I shouldn't have brushed my teeth before drinking this one lol
Caju! HB's newest sour. Fermented with multiple strains of Sacc, Brett, Lacto, and Pedio. 6.5% ABV. Aged on 8 lbs cashew apples, 2 lbs of blackberries, and 2 lbs of blueberries. Holy crap is this brew mouth puckeringly sour!!! Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely amazingly scrumptious. This is one of my best sours, and has the most indescribably unique flavor from the cashew apples. I also included a pic of me jamming my PH meter in the glass

I'm not big on resiny beers.
Have you tried brewing with wild yeast?The Hot Pepper said:
I don't brew
Nice looking sour!
You should hahaThe Hot Pepper said:
My bad thought you were TGCM.
HB prefers to brew sours in a controlled environment due to a relatively predictable outcome. Known bacteria and yeast combos can already be a bit whacky in fermentation, who knows what else lurks outside to tamper with HBs controlled brewing bubble.Grass Snake said:

This was a very interesting read. Gotta wonder what else might be out there waiting to be discovered..
Don't confuse me with that drunkGrass Snake said:
If HB had more space, time, and a bunch of barrels, HB would definitely do some wild ales. Unfortunately due to limited space, and HB's wife not wanting a few giant barrels of beer slowly fermenting at home for a few years, HB has decided to play it the safe, yet still somewhat unpredictable route of the house slurry of sour prone fermentables.Grass Snake said:
Hey! HB takes that as I compliment good sirThe Hot Pepper said:Don't confuse me with that drunk
Grass Snake, have you ever tried Founders Lizard of Koz?
I know of a place that just tapped a keg of it but not sure I want to road trip 45 mins on a flyer. looks like it will be a busy weekend to sneak a road trip in.
Upside it is only about 5 mins from Collective arts brewing and just around corner from a pretty fantastic Jamaican restaurant.

Never tried that one but I've heard more bad than good. I wouldn't hesitate to try it tho, if I got the chance.....Ashen said:
