Historically speaking, you are correct. The Snake Handler is delicious. Being the aficionado Shocks is, I suspect the photo misled. Could be wrong.

AUDub 11,148 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Introduced my dad to Hopslam just now, watching Auburn take an 19 point lead into the half. CeCe insists on having a conversation with him. He loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beer trailer, everyone was waiting on Mic Ultra. Right beside it is a table full of freshly poured Devil’s Harvest APA. Ding. Ding. It’s on. Congrats! I ran the inaugural Mercedes half in Bham. 2 of the full marathoners beat me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally, my only goal was to beat the marathoners. I did so. However, it was an interesting feeling that last mile...feeling "chased". Not a good thing when I went into this race severely under trained. Cramps....O.M.G. And Jackson is one hilly mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Popped one of the last bottles of one of the beers I brewed for my wedding to celebrate moving into our new house. Coffee stout.

AuburnSoldier 117 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 https://www.bonappetit.com/story/ipa-beer-styles I found this kinda educational.

ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Also, about 5 deep on old fashioneds(plus random beers) my buddy and his dad were making. Sazerac rye was the bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle 9,064 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Btw, if you have not tried Angel's Envy finished Rye, I can't recommend it enough. Finished in rum casks, and easily the smoothest Rye I have ever tasted. The finish leaves the taste of gingerbread on your tongue, or if you grew up in the 90s - this stuff: Seriously good though.

Tiger Refuge 6,664 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I gotta admit, I’m not sure what to think about the Sips series that PB just released. Not that I could get my hands on them up here. It appears that it’s a base IPA on top of fruit? At what point is it just a cocktail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I could get my hands on them up here. It appears that it’s a base IPA on top of fruit? At what point is it just a cocktail? I go back and forth on fruited beers. Sometimes you feel like it's not *really* beer, but sometimes when it's right, it's *really* right. Scofflaw's POG Basement (evidently POG is a fruit juice blend that is popular on the west coast and in Hawaii- passion fruit, orange and guava) is amazing. Absolutely amazing. And one of the 3 beers I've ever brewed was a mango wit that actually turned out pretty great. I thought I was just making it for the chicks and non-craft beer drinkers at my wedding, but it was quite honestly a perfect beer for Sarasota in late April and a beer that I would pay decent money for. Sidebar: My wife and I spent a couple extra days down there after the wedding. The single most relaxing day of my life was not the day after the wedding, but the day after that. No family, no friends, no dog. Just the two of us, laying on the beach drinking that mango wit (and champagne) all day. We actually pulled our chaises down to the water at sunset and laid there "in" the water to watch it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
