Sounds like an awesome dude. Side note, this is an interesting aspect to reporting the news now: Quote On Saturday, Hall also posted a simple, “My bad” on his Facebook profile. One person responded, “Really classy …” Another wrote, “eeesh.” However, two people “liked” it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the FB functionality similar to our "like" button here in response to him saying "My bad". I guess because they viewed that as appropriate contrition? Maybe they were being ironic? Friends of his trying to make him feel better? We may never know the truth. But we should exhaust every avenue to stimulate our creative thinking. I think I'll start with a beer.

I initially raved about it, but I'm dialing it back from Toe Curling to Go To. It's almost tempting to drop it all the way down to Meh, but I'm taking into account that it's February. This is almost a PNW pale ale/NE IPA hybrid. Fruity but not quite the bomb drop that is de rigueur, bitter but not west coast palate wrecker that was previously so popular, very refreshing. At 6.3% I could use juuuust a little more body, but it's not a deal breaker. Local to me and crushable but I don't think I could tell you to choose it over your favorite IPA if you're really wanting to sink your teeth into a beer experience. So, final score: Go To.

The two Elysians they have are Immortal IPA and Stardust (I think) IPA. You guys have me trying all sorts of new beer. I am starting to understand that there is a difference between a "good beer" and a "beer I like". Elysian is fantastic. Based out of Seattle. It's my go-to when I'm up there for meetings. Get the Immortal and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Well, I am admittedly disappointed. Not in the information I've garnered here, but in the way my state and neighborhood value it. The Snake Handler mentioned above seemed the perfect 1st target. In-state brewery; always liked their "Legally brewed since..." marketing. Unseasonably IPA weather, and had to go into town (check deposit) anyway. What could go wrong, right? Alas, struck out.

Noted 42's grapefruit sculpin and (somebody's?) Elysian stardust, but just hit F'hope Brewery for my wintertime (#2) go-to (Kingslayer) on the way out of town...a damn' hour before they were to open! Bummer? Limpin' along on (#3) PBR. Don't think twice, it's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think twice, it's alright. I've heard that Bob Dylan makes PBR taste like the East Village smells. But in a good way. I hope they get Kingslayer in Montgomery. I'll look for it next time I'm through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah definitely not what you'd expect. Since you said that, I just looked at the label a bit more closely and noticed "INDIA PALE ALE" across the bottom lol.

Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It seems that Parish does a great job of brewing fantastic beer with limited info. Take their Opus Vert for example...very little info about it online(other than public reviews). To me, it's as good as anything they brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess Ala is not the worst, but it might be another of those "Thanks Mississippi" things. " Stifling small brewers by denying them self-distribution, brewery sales, pub sales and even something as relatively trivial as growler sales doesn’t protect distributors or defend big brands. It just makes beer drinkers and legislators in states where small brewers have had the right to all of the above for decades wonder what’s wrong with your state." http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/smallbusiness/opinion-craft-beer-brewers-are-stifled-by-outdated-beer-laws/ar-AAmNOTa?li=BBnbfcN&ocid=mailsignout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
