Slamming the staple local IPA. They serve this one all throghout NOVA/DC. Solid IPA, I've been happily drinking it for years.

Finish where I left off yesterday

Very nice fresh taste, almost like it was canned yesterday, but it's 2 months old.

 
 
 
I tried that one about a month ago.  It kind of tasted like grape skin. 
 
The first sip I took I almost poured all of it down the drain but it slowly grew on me.

That looks delicious! Maybe I should stop cellaring my HB then. I still have some year old stouts and belgians laying around that I'm sure have come of age.

The mead though, that is staying right where it's at for a longer while. I cracked a few bottles of the mead I made last December at a party a few days ago. That mead got gulped up in like 5 minutes. I'll definitely give it a few more years to shine even more, which reminds me, it's about time to make some mead to drink in 2019/2020!

Agree re: mead, and some beers ...

Aging something that was already aging in barrels, and was selected for consumption, is silly ... It's not improving once it's in a bottle and off the wood, it's aging, IMHO ...

Yeah it was.  They've got some weird hops in there.

Maybe you had a fresher batch and tasted things I didn't. Supposedly,  a S. African Hop is used in #4 but it must of wore off the batch I had, which is 2 months old..

Time to change gears

I'va had a few great black IPAs, but this isn't one of them. Drinkable, but not very memorable.

They would fit much nicer in my bag when I make the trip one night after work. Soo much lighter than glass growlers.

Kick ass release this weekend. Two stouts that sound right in your wheelhouse.

always good to bring someone with you that doesn't drink beer if possible. that way you can get double the limit

Good in theory, but not logical.


I will make it there one time just to try it. I can grab it on tap in a few local bars, but basically limited to what they have tapped.

Yum.
