FoundationEagle 637 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Habanero Sculpin is awful by itself. I don't doubt it. Sounds awful, but I like the regular sculpin and love habaneros so Im required to try it, as I said if only for novelty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersapien 11,513 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Any of you familiar with Thomas Creek Brewery? They are one of the larger local brewers in my area (Greenville SC). Their River Falls Red Ale is really good. http://www.thomascreekbeer.com/beers/ Here's another much smaller brewery that's even closer: http://www.theswamprabbitbrewery.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I've had some of Thomas Creek's stuff, but it was mostly at beer fests and got lost in the mix. Anything in particular of theirs you recommend? I sometimes see it on shelves in Atlanta. Would definitely check out Swamp Rabbit if I ever make it up that way.

Like I said, their River Falls Red Ale is quite good. That's probably the highest rated brew they make. But it probably would get lost in a tasting with stronger flavored ales. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2454/7594/ They make an IPA called "Up the Creek" which is 12.5% ! I ordered it once out of curiosity and had to drink it with a water chaser. I suppose they use a wine yeast to get that level of alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an Irish whiskey, maybe scotch...or some other brown liquor that's aged in barrels that beer was aged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if anyone has any requests for their specialty sauces (I recommend the Raspberry Chipolte Tabasco), let me know. I'll pick some up and mail it to you.

ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just noticed that Black Bottle Bewing, who also hosts guest taps, had Hill Farmstead Dorothy on tap on 1/27. Guess I know where I'm going tomorrow if it's still on. Untappd is a great app. I've never used the "nearby" function, but I will have to start using it more often now.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Meh Tastes like a very bitter lager with tangerine juice. Not well made IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I kind of stopped drinking Green Flash. Too many IPAs, none of which are mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,204 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Meh Tastes like a very bitter lager with tangerine juice. Not well made IMO. I almost picked this up at Hop City earlier. Passed on it. Good haul, nonetheless. Got a bomber of Lindemans Kriek Cuvée René and a bomber of Stone's charred Xocoveza. The charred Xocoveza is one I'm really looking forward to trying. Wonder if the barrel aging causes it to lose any character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
