AUDub 11,153 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Currently in the liquor section of a Woodman's. To call it overwhelming would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,153 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 They also had spotted cow in cans, which makes me feel a lot better about putting it in my checked bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. You can fit at least 2-3 more units in with the saved weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 6 cases of KBS rolled in the door yesterday. Which is a lot from previous years. Will be buying a 4pk tomorrow and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was traveling regularly for work, I always carried a small roll of duct tape and gallon sized ziplocs. I also tried to minimize weight, never checked a bag on the way out and always checked a bag on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnSoldier 117 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It ain’t beer, but I’m pumped about these glasses. My better half found them at goodwill for $4. I checked amazon, and they go for $40. Now I can spend $36 on beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with the IPA glass, super easy to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with the IPA glass, super easy to break. The one on the right says it’s for “American Wheat beer”. I’ll probably use it for Paulaner Salvatore and various other Dopplebocks. I’ve already learned about how breakable the IPA glasses are. I had one break last month from rubbing it too hard with a dish rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 @Tiger Refuge, my folks are in NOLA. Got an order for the usual Parish brews, one off stuff from NOLA Brewing. Anything else I should have on my radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,367 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Not bad. Lots of citrus. Picking up on a soapy characteristic though. Reminds me a bit of Devil’s Harvest. I think of the major breweries trying their hand at NEIPA, New Belgium’s is probably the best I’ve had so far as much as I hate to say it. Still haven’t stumbled across Sam Adams’ take on it.

Their Holy Roller IPA is fantastic. -Parish- Their one off stuff seems to be brewery only(mostly their Sips line right now). They recently started canning. Envie was getting crushed(not in a good way). Lots of folks saying they changed something in this batch. -Gnarley Barley- I think they just released another batch of Jucifer IPA. I haven’t had it yet, but I’ve heard good things. I’m headed south tomorrow. Lafayette for a day then NOLA for three days. If I see anything that jumps out, I’ll holler.

In the days of low IBU, ultra citra and mosaic hopped brews, Hopslam is always a good one to get back to your roots with. Monster DIPA with a huge malt backbone. Bitter with some sweetness from the honey. It’s consistent too. Stays true year after year. Hopefully you’ll get to try Oracle at some point. Another giant DIPA, but it’s a bit more clean.
