Re: Let's talk good beer
yeah, im tired today and I only had 1 beer last night. spent the whole day getting the house ready for the SB party. Then spent the SB juggling babies and toddlers and making sure nobody drew on my walls.
heady topper - to anyone who has tried it, does it kinda taste like space cake? I read space cake is a heady clone.

Let's talk good beer
I've been on the hopslam hunt, just finally managed to get my hands on some. $20 for a sixer? Is it worth the hype?
I've got another sixer on hold with a different store too. |

Re: Let's talk good beer
Why the World Needs More Crowlers—Wait, What’s a Crowler? - Bon Appétit
crowlers .... 32 oz cans that you seal with a special crowler sealer. aim is to keep tap beer fresher longer then growlers. only 600 crowler sealers in use so im guessing it will be a while until we see one and that will probably be fills direct from brewers. i just cant see a craft beer store buying one any time soon. ------------------------------------------ mtk - good find. ive never had it and cant squeeze a trip to frederick to try it today. i read that troegs nugget nectar is a rival and some say better. DTC is supposed to get a new shipment of nugget nectar tomorrow. is it worth it? my id always says YOLO. what, are you going to take that 20 to the grave with you? --------------------------- should we start beer trading on here? anyone live in vermont, maine ... or emerald triangle?

Tasting my first Hopslam right now, pretty damn tasty. Worthy of the hype. I only wish it were Friday so I could have a few more lol

Re: Let's talk good beer

Re: Let's talk good beer
I'll do a hunt for hopslam at lunch today. Need to fight the crowds at Costco anyways. If I find any OTM, I'll let you know. A buddy of mine had this year's nugget nectar and said he was underwhelmed. I may grab both...if I can find them.
Crowlers are cool because it's just a big can of fresh beer. No light, so they potentially last longer than a bomber, depending on the fill of course. I know rar and Burley Oak (Burley Can) both do them. I don't think any of the grower fills places will do them because of the added cost of labor and materials.
