Craft beer tournaments now? Sheesh.

Aslin Vs. Side Project on round 1. Tough competition there. The Veil will definitely take round 1

Last fucking thing on the planet I feel like doing on St. Patrick's Day

Little suttin' suttin' to wash the lead paint, asbestos, and mouse shit outta my mouth, haha

Back home!

This is a great sour IPA! It's brewed with lactose, and conditioned on vanilla and strawberries.

I should be getting a can tomorrow. I'm meeting up with a friend tomorrow that went to The Veil, Triple Crossing, and The Answer this weekend.

Aslin has their Orange Starfish DDH seriously dialed in. Every batch is consistently epic!

That's certainly one of the best beers I've had the privilege of trying.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

Side Project slightly edged out Aslin 54% to 46%.

I'm about 100% sure that Monkish is going to take the whole West Coast. There is going to be an epic battle in the NE. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to The Veil and The Answer in the SE bracket.

I'm a little bummed that block 15 lost. Great notion FTW!!

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

Yeah man. Great Notion looks like they have some tasty beers!

The seeds in that bracket are a joke.

 

[t0mato]

Yeah they are. De garde #1 in the northwest...puh..leeze!

They are really good but yeah, idk about #1.

My issue with the seeding is based upon only making one style of beer really well. You make bomb ass sours, thats great, but only if Im in the mood for sours. Same with IPAs. I love IPAs but I respect the Veil a whole lot more because they make a lot of great beers. Their imp stout is one of the best Ive wver had.

And dont even get me started with The Answer. Ive heard numerous reports that they just take Anderson Valleys gose and add their fruit purée to it. The one I had was glorified Hawaiian Punch.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

I think The Veil will take the SE. It will be interesting to see how the NE shapes up.

I'm not a huge fan of The Answer's sours, but their stouts and IPAs are fantastic.

This Hop Chronicles Vol. 8 is delicious! All Waimea.

Yeah for sure! I'm really surprised that bissel brothers was a 7 seed in the northeast and lost already. The alchemist...a 5!? I thought they only made heady topper lol!

This is a decent stout overall. Nice and roasty with a thick and smooth mouthfeel.

Finally something I recognize and have also had locally. very smooth indeed.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

Holy crap this is an amazing sour!!! Suuuper tart, not to sweet, and an absolute passion fruit grenade. This is the best sour I have had from The Veil, without question.
