beer Being Crafty

WarrantMan · Jul 27, 2019

We've got some great local breweries here. I enjoy visiting them and sampling what they offer. Some beers they offer are decent, some "suck" and some are great! Only one brewery have I found amongst all I have tried, that I've not had a single "dud" is Edmund's Oast. These guys have figured it out well. If you ever visit the greater Charleston, SC area or find somewhere locally that offers their products, give it a whirl. It will not disappoint. My treat this eve after a great sales gig. 7.2 ABV, wonderful body and smoother than a baby's ass.

Salud, Warrantman!

This sipper is a sour saison aged in gin barrels. So tart, with that peppery saison flavor I dig so much. The gin barrels impart a "Summer" feel into this one, that really made me just sit down on my back porch, and soak in the beatiful evening in my garden.

I wasn't fan of this. I like wheat beers but this has too much of Saison banana Esters undertone.

Took a road trip down to Virginia, to visit my newly retired father in law, a couple of weeks ago. Stopped at Aslin Brewery on the way down :party:

Cool ass brewery! This is TGCM's stomping ground

Look at all of that "Double Orange Starfish"

Had an "El Frutero" while I was there; sour ale with watermelon, lime, habanero, and salt

Pork sandwich kinda sucked (pretty dry), but my wife's spicy chicken sandwich was really good!

The haul I took home to split with a friend of mine:

Father in law sent me home with a few IPAs from a brewery by him, called "Lickinghole Creek," hahaha

Licking hole have a decent stout game I have heard.

I tried their, Heir Apparent -Mexican Spiced Imperial Stout

Pretty good brew for the style.

Building a batch of carnitas today with a 5 lb pork loin roast, thought it might be time to pop my cherry on one o' these...

I so wanted to be impressed, and for an IPA it's damn good, but this is no "double" IPA...maybe an IPA & a half, but very light on hops for a double.

Just don't send Hogleg up here to pull my toenails. Tryin' to be honest...NOT worth 17 bucks for a sixer....

THIS is a double. Toppling Goliath. Hops, citrus, even a hint of pineapple.

Careful, Stet-toe-man...gonna get runk, you know you are....

All "hits" so far and no "misses." Tonight's offering, very smooth and flavorful IPA weighing in at 6.7 ABV. Very drinkable and slippery. These dudes have my vote! They are killing it! :cheers:

Looks like it's been a month or so... Proud to report I will keep this thread alive. The symbiotic relationship with the craft beer place that sells my hot sauce - keeps paying off in spades! Don't know who gets the better end of the deal, but I ain't bitching :cheers:

Looking back, it may seem I am a paid spokesperson for this brewery. I am not, don't know a soul involved. BUT, I still gotta give props to their products. No duds from them have I tried. I will admit that I am not a "sour" fan, they have a few but I can't offer a thought on those. Tonight, Imperial Stout. Weighing in at 10% ABV, heavy, a slow sipper no doubt, but great almost sweet, caramel tones. This is #3 of 4 and when I finish it, it's a wrap. The day is done. Great beer if you like this sort of thing.
