I was hoping you were going to post this based on your Facebook post.

God damn...

Sucks that they're discontinuing Levitation.

Excellent brewer right there. I took a tour of their brewery in December, they really know their stuff. All of kinds of experimental stuff to try also.

Yeah dudes! We are pumped. Started with one of the Dinos'mores tonight, split into a couple new tasting glasses. At first I felt let down because it wasn't bringing any of the "s'mores"-typical flavors it promised (it's made with graham flour, marshmallow, molasses and cocoa) but after it warmed up a bit to room temp and was allowed to open up, it was a dead ringer for s'mores... amazing development!

(edit: thanks to this SUPER HI RES IMAGE, I am now aware we need to dust the goddamn stairs... thanks, phone!)

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yeah i usually let most of my beers warm-up a little for that exact same reason.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Haven't tried too many Kolsch beers. This was okay i guess.

not bad, plenty of other pale ales i'd rather spend my time with.

.. i haven't tried the Golden Monkey yet, but this is the cear winner out of the Victory variety pack. One of the best pilsners i've had.

Currently sipping on my second tall can of Blazing World from Modern Times.

edit: my bad about the big ass pictures, don't really feel like editing them right now.

Ballast Point is awesome. Sculpin's one of my fav guest taps around here.

Also, warm beer? This sounds like blasphemy to me. Especially a warm IPA...

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Not necessarily warm, but you should give it a few minutes after you pull it out the fridge... usually opens everything up quite a bit. You should try it out.

 

[KafkaX]

Know whats in my fridge? lol

Pabst.

Dont know if I should try it just yet...But once I get something decent I will.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

fuck no don't try that with PBR's, that shit is bomb cold as fuck!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... both very good, but if i had to pick one i'd go with Hop Devil.

Not an IPA, but this hoppy amber definitely takes the cake for today ...

 

[KafkaX]

Hop Devil over Sculpin? Gotta try it then.

I like how you include the bottle caps in the photos. Thats awesome.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Give it a shot. Sculpin went down a bit "watery" after i had the Hop Devil. Definitely thicker, pinier(which i love) and more flavorful.

You should definitely check out Modern Times, their stuff is usually around $10+ for 4 tall cans but well worth it! Fortunate Islands and that amber i posted a pic of are so fuckin' bomb!

Got the 4 Way IPA sampler 12 pack from Sierra Nevada. So glad they have a brewery in NC, bout the only decent stuff that is a reliable find around here.

Modern Times recently released their City of the Sun IPA which is one of my favorites from them. They also just released City of the Dead which is a stout using bourbon barrel aged coffee beans. Pretty interesting stuff

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Do you know where i can find that stuff? Not really a coffee guy but i'd be willing to give that stout a shot.

 

[unknown]

It's been popping up in bottle shops all over LA/OC. Whole Foods should probably have them

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

cool, i'll keep an eye out for 'em. thanks

How's the barrel aged Narwhal? I've been seeing that one at the stores lately and just might pick it up next time and give it a go.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I'm drinking Oatmeal Yeti right now.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... Fuckin' delicious!
