ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Gotta get my hands on this one. Cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. http://beerstreetjournal.com/founders-frootwood/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good.Lord. That sounds fantastic. I've been dreaming about Backwoods Bastard since last month. I can't imagine how good that Frootwood would taste. Or that maple bourbon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's been a little over 1 year since I could get my hands on this beer. Since my first foray, I've had a couple of new beers. This one stands alone. Absolutely perfect. Porter aged in Pappy barrels. Malty, bourbon and maple. Just freaking perfect. Reminds me of Dirty Bastard, but better. Delicious. *edit* The Pappy barrel aged was last year. This one was aged in Heaven Hill barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fantastic. We need more good Baltic porters. Scofflaw is slaying everything in Atlanta right now. Currently having their Hooligan IPA. Somehow singular in the current tropical fruit bomb IPA market. Their coffee stout is superb, too. Went to the release of their big BA imperial stout yesterday. I've tasted it a couple times now and have enjoyed it, but I'm looking forward to sitting down with a bottle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it may be my favorite beer. It's hard to pick just one, but dammit. I will be coming to Atlanta in about a month for a few days on business. I will definitely be hitting the local beer scene. I'll be on the lookout for Scofflaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried that before and had issues but it works now. Anyways, this beer has that look of Miami Vice in an energy drink. However, it is an extremely tasty sweet citrus smooth pale ale. Picked it up in Destin over the weekend. Bartender practically forced me to try it and now I see why. If you enjoy the sweetness in a Sucks, then this one will make your tastebuds happy. It's not so sweet that you want it to be less sweet, but somehow just the perfect amount that keeps you coming back for more. Not very dry and very smooth for a pale ale. Just enough bitterness to balance out the delicious sweet flavor. Decent carbonation. This is more like a sucks done with citrus fruits instead of brown sugar. I'm definitely gonna have to start asking people in Bham to stock this one (from Miami and not sure how far out it has made it yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sounds tasty. Definitely an interesting label, but I suppose a sense of humor and knowing that it comes from South FL makes it make sense. Is the name of the brewery MIA? I'll tell wifey to look out for it when she heads to Sarasota in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundationEagle 637 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yes. M.I.A. May be the best pale I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,362 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Having a SN Tropical Torpedo. Pretty good, I thought it might just be the previous Tropical IPA release repackaged; but I believe it's a new recipe. Definitely tropical and better than the previous recipe, if memory serves. Should be a solid year-round go-to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I had my new, local brewery's first IPA last night. Not good. Not good at all. I hope it was a combo of it being their first batch and my taster being off. They won't last long making beer like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a couple of folks last night, and they said that perhaps that first batch was a bit below par. They also said that the brewery is fine tuning it's recipes, so hopefully it was just a bit of a bump in the road. They have had pretty good support and high demand for their product, so that's good. I know their nitro stout has been very well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,660 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Absolutely! I really really hope they succeed. There is a nice niche in our town that they can fill. The problem(?) for them is that there are two really, really good breweries in the state that are absolutely knocking it out of the park right now. These days, more folks know what good beer tastes like. Consequently, they also know what ishy beer tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,131 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If you've bought any SN lately, keep your eyes open. Issued a recall for beer bottled between December 5th and January 13th. Apparently screwed up the bottling process a bit. http://www.al.com/business/index.ssf/2017/01/sierra_nevada_recalls_bottled.html#incart_river_home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Was in Vegas last week. If you're there and find your way to Fremont Street, hit up the little brewery right under the Slotzilla Zip-line entrance. Really good double-chocolate porter.
