First time for stone Ruinatation. Maybe it's because I'm Oceanside next to a campfire but this chit deserves the 97 score it gets on beer advocate Going back to the store tomorrow and buying a few to bring home.
14th Stars Tribute DIPA brewed in St. Albans VT is starting to get the recognition it deserves.
Lone Tree Brewing IIPA. My new shit.
That's my go-to!Quote:

U can't have a beer? Vibes!
One of the great thing about infants is it is impossible to deal with them without drinking (in moderation) regularly. End of the day beer mandatory. Sorta like end of a ski day. Just what has to happen.Quote:

You really should be drinking for both of you.Quote:

I took my Randall and bunch of my home grown hops to Blackwater Brewery last evening. It was very much phun.

We infused an EPA with cascades, zuses and glacier hops.
Thats some science there.
Nice Scotty, how do you tell when the best time to pick is?
I've got a good amount of Cascades growing right now and might do something similar with a fresh hop beer.
Anyone grow barley? It would be cool to gather one of you guys a batch worth of ingredients entirely grown by mags
Edit- I assume malting could be difficult?
Once I see my cones starting to turn brown I pick them. Not all will be brown but the oldest ones.
The hops we used were last years that had been vacpakd ad in the freezer since. They were fresh and wonderful.
Not difficult but you need a lot of floor space and a large kiln.Quote:

I don't really care about these polls, but it does open my eyes to some beers I haven't tried. The Grimm that was rated #1 I have not tasted, but their Cloudbusting IPA I had a couple months ago was really good.

Comrade Brewing has their IIPA (Hop Chops) back on tap. Really, really good. I haven't found a better double yet. Only gripe is the price - $32 for a growler. Paying $8/pint to drink their beer at home is ridiculous (no outdoor seating so I refuse to drink at the brewery).
Their brewmaster came from Barley Browns in OR and knows how to squeeze a hop. Unfortunately, the price has to reflect the rising cost of those bitter little bundles of green goodness we call hops. Look forward to their fresh hop coming out soon.Quote:

The wife and I have both been hooked on Bootstrap Brewing (Niwot) Insane Rush IPA this summer. Good stuff.
Killed some grapefruit Sculpin this weekend. Wish it wasn't so pricey.
