Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Uhhhhh....I gotta take a knee on this one. Freaking wow! Dank, juice, mouthwatering, citrusy, grapefruit, malty backbone. Lost a bit of the hop oil bite. Good Lord these people know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of Islay scotches who also like tacos, get thee to the tequila bar. I like Creyente, about $50 a bottle. I'm quite addicted to mezcal margaritas(on the rocks, salted rim). Something about the salt plays so well with the smoke in mezcal. No bars in the suburbs carry mezcal, including Mexican restaurants. I have to go to midtown or downtown to get it.

ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Pick up Stone's Ghost Hammer IPA if you see it. It's great, and arguably my favorite IPA from them. I was pretty "meh" on OB's Fugli IPA. Decent beer, but I like their traditional IPA a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Got this one on my trip to NC. Not bad at all. Very nice balance between hop and malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,064 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Okay, I'm going to add one of the "worst" beers that I've ever had to the discussion. I went into Liquor Express in Huntsville last week asking for an IPA that might be similar to the Dogfish Head “Flesh and Blood” IPA. I guess I can’t fault the guy, but he put me on this beer: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24300/263927/ It sounded interesting so I bit. They sell it in 4-packs. He told me I could only buy 2 four packs, so I grabbed two. That was my mistake. The beer didn’t have the price labeled, and I let him ring it up without asking. Also my mistake. $34.00!!! I immediately asked him to put one of them back, and he offered to process a refund, but there were people in line behind me – and since he had assured me that I would love it, so I just bought them all and left. Again, my mistake. Guys, I thought the beer was horrible. I’ve been impressed with a lot of citrus and tropical fruit infused IPAs this summer, but this one is just too far over the top. It really tastes like pink lemonade, with some hops in the background. I hated it. Even on a hot day, I thought it was terrible. Anyway, lesson learned.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 @Bigbens42, very true about Evil Twin. I rarely drink his beer because it rarely justifies the price gap over other, comparable beers. But he definitely knows what he's doing. Somehow, the Westbrook collabs tend to be slightly less unreasonably priced. @Tiger Refuge, I was wondering if Parrish was going "juicy" with the new Ghost. I am totally okay that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 @McLoofus the juice is most definitely loose with Parish. They just did another release of their 4XDH Envie last week. Talk about juicy... This is another NC beer. It's a collaboration by all the breweries in the Asheville Brewery Alliance. Nice beer for sure. Tropical notes, very nicely carbonated. This was my first WW IPA. (The store owner promised it was a pre-sellout beer...didn't matter to me) Very nice. Had a good piney nose, nice bit of hop dankness...but not overpowering. My NC trip reminded me that my beer doesn't necessarily have to punch me in the face with flavor. I love my local beer to death, but they are riding the flavor wave pretty hard. It's nice to step back and enjoy a beer that's a little more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
