Let's talk good beer

Sometimes a ice cold 25 oz bud heavy is perfect

Due to the pandemic we are living in the golden age of craft beer. Due to tap rooms being limited or closed they have been forced to distribute. Beer that normally would only be available in the breweries are now readily available at many local stores.

Bells 35th anniversary Expedition Stout.

Wow, its a must buy if seen. Im an expedition fan and usually this is the stout I buy and try to "cellar" in my basement for a year or two. But this special edition is on another level.

Im going to buy a bunch, try to hide it in my basement and try to forget I have it.

This is a must buy. No idea how much they distributed but I imagine this is a one off thing that wont be on shelves again.

Decided to try some of these breweries Ive been ignoring and did a mix 6 pack of IPAs (expensive came out to about $30 for a sixer of 16 oz cans)

Cushwa - tried the "Cush", "High Hopes" and "Price of Dreams". I think they were all DIPA if I remember right. They were good to very good. Cush I am definitely moving into my regular rotation.

evil twin (not MD, i try a lot of ET) - "Even Less balanced" ... 10% abv tipa with marshmallows .. sounds disgusting but came recommended and was interesting. I would buy this again, 1 can though not a 4 pack.

Aslin (VA) - Bring Sexy Back ... ipa. this was my favorite of the sixer.

black flag (md) - "partial distortion" or something like that. ipa .. it was good.
--------------------

I enjoyed the variety ... but a sixer of 51 rye or country ride at $11 cant be beat imo. I cant be dropping over $30 for sixers. Maybe Ill do it once a month.

Man, the other day i was like let me get a fancy beer a six pack so i pick something out from Independent Brewery (literally in my home town); get to the register 18 dollars and change for a six pack!!!! I was like fawk; tasted like dish soap when i drank it.

I am sticking to my cheap standby's from now on.

$3 a beer isn't bad when you think about it, at a bar that same beer is probably $8 or $9

Yeah I guess. Last time I went on a beer run I notice many of the Craft Beers now are 4 pk pint cans running around 14/16 dollars a 4pk.


If anyone gets a chance to get up there here are a few that you might enjoy..........

Noticed the same And the cans are all works of art. Makes me wonder if im paying for the art or the beer?
I cant bring myself to pay the 15.99 for four - not when there are still soooooo many good beers for under 15.99.

Lol. Seriously beer doesn’t nearly numb the pain

Porters ... very much under appreciated.

I got 4 packs of single cuts jackknife (ipa), desert (dry hopped dips) and cut out bin (pale ale) on Wednesday ... drank the last 2 last night so I’m out of beer. Edible Sunday.

RAR Herb. (west coast dipa) - forgot how much I love west coast ipas ... this was a one time production so im happy i got a pour with dinner and a crowler to go. I dont know if its just the name but it tasted like fresh herbs with a bit of west coast pine to it, clean finish.

RAR imperial first meal (stout) - got a pour with dinner and a crowler to go home. im happy.

Surly's xtra citra pale ale was on some Maryland shelves. Asked about it, they said about once a year Bond Distributors will call them and offer a Surly as some part of a collab. Said they arent getting any more.

Pale ale was okay, I did enjoy the less than 5% abv as I like to put down 6 or so beers on a saturday night because drinking six or so 8% plus beers = a rough sunday morning with family obligations.
