Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 9 hours ago, ShocksMyBrain said: We’re super stoked. It’s got a great kitchen and den, basically all I really looked for in all the houses we’ve looked at. Those are the two places we spend the most time in, so I wanted them to be as close to perfect as possible. And they don’t require any immediate upgrading. All appliances stay including washer/dryer, which is a huge plus for me because I don’t care to ever have to fool with connecting a dryer to the vent ever again. We got accepted on another house last Sunday, but we backed out. It was close to 100 years old and the 67(!) page inspection report made us run the other way. The house we signed on today was built in ‘78, so it’s half as old, but still has great bones. Brass Door sounds familiar, but I’ve never been. We rarely go downtown unless it’s for some sort of special occasion. Dude! Great open space there! Love those countertops and those floors. Y’all are gonna have fun with that! Your house story sounds eerily familiar. We made an offer on a much older house that had tons of character, but lots of potential for issues. Luckily, they didn’t take it and we moved on. Our current house is almost the exact same age as yours. Cheers man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I daresay that anything SGB does is as good or better (but I’ve had a lot more SGB brews). That beer you posted looks bomb. And thanks for the congrats on the house. Been searching since October. Going up against 25+ other offers on the regular is pretty frustrating. Finally we decided to go with **** it money with an offer and they accepted (with a counter offer based on appraisal). Dude, residential real estate has been insane in so many markets this year. Congrats on breaking through! It's a wild process. Just take your patience pills until you get through closing. Love the pics! That natural light is huge. @Tiger Refuge, my first beer yesterday was a Parish Reve. Magic stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've grown really adjunct averse unless it's coffee- or unless you consider barrel aging an adjunct- but it's probably just in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting it to be sweeter which I didn’t want but it made me curious. I thought the flavors were negligible, just a pretty solid stout that’s a little lower gravity than most.

Those guys at Trimtab don't tend to trade in unnecessary sugar in my limited experience. Love that 8.7 sweet spot, didn't even notice on first viewing. A lot of my favorite IPAs are in that range but not a lot of stouts it seems, like you said. It's usually either a 5.5-6.0 session-adjacent pounder or a double digit sugar bomb. Which have their place but aren't as versatile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesn't look overly filtered. Definitely got some tropical notes from it. Not overly dank or hoppy. A little sweetness. Not a bad interpretation, but definitely not GITM. Got it in a trade, but would buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,368 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Got the text that I didn’t have to come in due to snow. So I popped a vintage and fired up the PS4. Only to get called back into work an hour later. 🤦♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I'll legit look closer at their packaging now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Oldie but a goodie. Like, really goodie. Hoppy farmhouse wearing the perfect cedar dress. I could pound this all damn day and could think of a hundred food pairings, like the maple glazed salmon and rosemary roasted potatoes we had tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 McWifey bought some local mussels from a local rapper (Q Smalls) and made some amazing moules frites. My minor contribution was nailing the beer pairing. Not that I had to think about it too much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,368 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 First beer consumed in the new house while we cleaned. “Dirty Dova” being a moniker for Cordova, where we moved to. Totally apropos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) The only All Relation beer I was able to procure before they closed. Probably their most popular, and I see why. Just unbelievably complex and tasty. Is that, anise I taste? Edited March 7, 2021 by Tiger Refuge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
