Don’t forget Magic City. Their NEIPA’s are right up there with the best of them. Space Snakes may have been one of the best NEIPA’s I had all year.
I hadn't heard of them before, but I'll definitely be stopping by. Thanks for the suggestion.Don’t forget Magic City. Their NEIPA’s are right up there with the best of them. Space Snakes may have been one of the best NEIPA’s I had all year.
Heh... my brother lives in DC and his friend is in the club at The Bruery (routinely spends close to 10K a year at the place.. the dude has a problem). So, I went in on some of their limited release Black Tuesday stuff, as well as some other randoms that sounded good. In December, here was my list of stouts from The Bruery:Got my brother in law a couple of beers for his birthday (mostly because he shares).
The Bruery - So happens its Tuesday (SHIT)- my fucking god. sweet jesus. Dark rich, thick, delicious. its 15%. You definitely get the 15% on the back end with just a little burn. Its in the top 5 beers ive ever had. if you ever get a chance to buy this DO IT and save it. save it for a special occasion. If there is a perfect dark beer this is 99% of the way there.
Abraxas- So i know its higher ranked than the one above, and is routinely a top 100 beer, and its good. its excellent. Some heat, but doestn even approach hot. "The bit of spice that makes existance extra nice". Its definitely in my top 10 beers of all time, but its just not quite as full when it comes to SHIT.
Blue Door and Catalina's in Columbus are two of the best breakfast places I've ever been to.
I've been meaning to check out Crooked Pecker. Do they have a go to style, or a specific beer that I should try to get from them?
Masthead is such a cool spot. I grabbed some of their Jalopeno IPA early on in quarantine and loved it. It would have been so easy to overdo a beer like that, but the spice and jalopeno flavor were perfectly subtle. Great pizza too.
Any chance you want to pick one up, pass on enjoying it yourself, and ship it across the country for me?Pliny the Younger is about to get it's release, but because they had to cut production in half, it's only available in the extremely limited release Russian River Brewing Company mixed 12 packs.
Damn bastards.

I just got into homebrewing. My girlfriend got me a homebrew kit for Christmas, a Northern Brewer 5 gallon starter kit to make their amber ale. We just bottled on Saturday, so going to let the bottles sit about 2 weeks for priming. I had a great time and thought it was very insightful - gives me a whole new appreciation for the brewing process, and I didn't even make anything complicated. I have bought a few books and a smaller 1 gallon fermenter so I can start making small batches every few weeks. I've been watching YouTube videos like crazy and reading brewing blogs so I can learn more. We are living in a small apartment right now, so all-grain brewing is next to impossible. I'll be sticking with extract for a while, but I'm still excited about this new hobby.Any homebrewers in this thread? I've done a few small, 1 gallon batches on my stovetop. It can be tricky working with such a small batch, but it's a fun way to experiment with making your favorite styles and it's really satisfying seeing positive results after tweaking your process. Happy to start a new thread, if that would be more appropriate.
The last time i touched the stuff when it was the cheapest "best bang for the buck" option on a cruise ship.Of course I am, no one I know drinks fosters.
ive been doing it on and off for about 8 years. All of it it is through kits and 5 gallon batches. Ive wanted to go all grain and make my own, but never got up the the energy.Any homebrewers in this thread? I've done a few small, 1 gallon batches on my stovetop.

My favorite styles of beer to drink are darker beers, but Ive always found German style beers the easiest to consistently make and be good.
have you done all grain?
Haven't checked this thread in months, but looks like I missed on some good conversation a few weeks ago.
