McLoofus 35,182 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Maui coconut porter. A buddy brought it back. I like the way they handle the coconut- more in the nose and throat than on the palate- and this guy seems really food friendly, but I don't have food and I'm craving something else. Especially after seeing all these damned Parish posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It was very very good. Had a hint of pineapple/sweet. Nice orange peel, no hop bite. Mild malt backbone. Had it before a DDH. I almost have to have another beer before or after so I can contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 It also had just a little bit of dankness...an ever so slight bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Sometimes, Old-standard ordinary is OK, and even appropriate. Roasted corned beef, stir-fried cabbage (balsamic quench), and plain-old Guiness. I'd send you a picture, but it's just an empty bottle. Erin go Bragh (for today, anyway). Be careful out there.

Barnacle 9,064 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Drank a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA last night. The last time I had one was years ago. Even better than I remembered. I love the style. Big malty, caramel backbone. My kind of IPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very high hopes of finally getting my doctorate, end of this semester (though my wife, an MD, will tell you that a PhD ain't no real doctor). Got family property on Fish River (almost exactly between Fairhope and Foley, Baldwin Co.) that we've rebuilt on, and she's already down there. I've been back-and-forth-and-... while writing, defending dissertation, and (hope, hope) the 2-yr extended household move will be done soon.

Elberta's always been on my route to P'cola (we're within sight of where Co. 32 crosses the river), and becomes an actual destination come Sausage Festival. ETA - Shoot! Just looked it up and I might miss the Sausage Fest this year. It's, like, soon. Damn' Tloosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hate to miss a good sausage party... No, for real, a Sausage Fest anywhere near the S AL/S GA/N FL/Panhandle area sounds awesome, because it really is its own thing down there. I'll be surprised if there's ever a day where I consider Conecuh to be outside of the state's top 5 exports, football and music included. Slightly outside of the top 5 for me is Good People's Hitchhiker IPA. It was fine. I would have no problem sipping a few of them on a sunny day if that's what's available. But I'm still looking for a really great IPA from AL. I'm not a Snake Handler or Monkey/Gorillanaut believer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine has inlaws outside Jackson, MS. Naturally, they do crawfish boils for family get togethers. He took down some Conecuh- not the thick original, but the thinner hickory smoked variety that I think has become more common- to throw in the pot. He said the locals scoffed at first, but not long after it was all dumped on the table, they were all saying, "Where's the skinny sausage?" I love getting to give people Conecuh for the first time. I actually get to do it on occasion since I live in Atlanta and they sell it here. They're usually blown away. If anyone has a strong recommendation for a beer pairing, I'm all ears. A run of the mill IPA does great, but I'd love to nail it with something special. Conecuh deserves that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sausage rarely makes it to the kitchen if it's being grilled. Or I have to double the amount being cooked. And you NAILED it on adding it to a crawfish boil....along with some onions, garlic, etc. You know my favorite thing to do when the crawfish are done cooking? I'll throw a couple of whole chickens to the pot of crawfish boil and cook those badboys in that awesomely seasoned water. Best chicken salad evar. Geeze I'm ready for a beer.
