Holy shit that must be tasty

That is it. It is really good. I was in Indiana last weekend and picked it up. They had Boss Tweed Pineapple which o would’ve loved to try but it was canned in August so I don’t try it.

Any idea where else they distribute?

Regular Boss Tweed looks just as good.

Never heard of that brewery. On my list now.

HOLY SHIT, Batman!!!

You can get M-43 for $12 a 4pk at grocery stores in WI
Boss Tweed - another really good looking offering from them, goes for just $14 a 4pk.

Those are CRAZY CHEAP for quality IPAs.
Would you put those in the same class as the King Al? I just picked up the last 4pk of Al out here I could find and it's over $20 for the 4. So good.

WT101 and water

I gave King Al a 5.0. M-43 is a 4.5. I haven’t had the Boss tweed Pineapple. Having a Hop Butcher Mirror Ball right now. Hop butcher is a really good brewery out of IL.

Today's cloudy IPA is no longer just relying on fresh hops to bite each other's barbaric era! When the sharp knife of biotransformation appears, those hop behemoth-like IPAs of the old era no longer have an absolute advantage. With the sharp edge of biological transformation in hand, the fire to fight the hop beast has been planted! We no longer need to search for "leftovers" in this hop-barren land as before. Biotransformation allows us to have more Initiative ~ Throughout the ages, Shaoxing rice wine has always had a legendary status in the Chinese wine industry. A strain of yeast isolated from rice wine has gradually stabilized in several experimental batches. Now in this batch of ultimate experimental batches, The full and rich juicy fruit aroma will be detonated at the first time in the mouth; the balanced and clean body makes the drinkability uncompromising in the highly saturated aroma; drink the last sip, and walk towards the taste horn like a hop storm Dragon Slaying Road!



I'm totally trying this swill tonight...

Very Underrated hazy IPA, IMO

Quite smooth, and very similar to Toppling Goliath offerings.

At $12 for a 4pk, kind of a steal.

EDIT: Had some of this at the Melvin/RH booth at GABF. It was one of the better offerings from that booth, which had some solid stuff. Much lighter than most imperial IPAs

Reminds me a bit of the old xHops Gold from TG, which was also one of their best/lighter fares.
Wish TG would go back to their roots with the best stuff, instead of pushing out "new" things every 3 months that aren't as good as what they used to make...

After a quality win yesterday, I poured a quality celebratory bourbon. Two fingers of Eagle Rare 10 Year. Here's to the Noles!

 

[Joes Place]

PAA Corner Piece
(little celebration for UI soccer winning 1st round - corner piece/corner kick...)

Little on the sweet side, but very smooth.

Anyone had their Pecans in Paradise or Super Pistache Bros?
I'm seeing them in stock out here and thinking I need to pick some up...

 

[runkpanole]

Today I’m at The Funkatorium sipping on a flight.

Did Burial Slough Water the other night. That is a damn good porter.

No drinking for me until Thurs. Then it's heavy on the Butter Pecan moonshine on Thanksgiving, a million vodka red bulls Friday and Saturday.

Friday for me. Then it’s getting shit-faced at my parents house and them getting pissed with argument ensuing

 

[seminoleed]

That looks delicious. Rocks?

Saturday for the tailgate, Bombay Sapphire and Fever Tree tonic water--early, and often.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Thinking about making a big batch of ginger tea.

 

[noleclone2]

Saturday for the tailgate, Bombay Sapphire and Fever Tree tonic water--early, and often.

This has become my #1 G&T gin. Made with notes of grapefruit so it fits well.

It's suitable for sipping. Not bad mixed either. The pale variety is smoother than the dark variety IMO.

How sweet is it? As a high-rye bourbon guy, most rums are just too sweet for me.

 

[BrianNole777]

I'll be drinking like a Mormon all week except for some chardonnay with ice.

So, part of the time you'll be drinking like a 75 year old female Mormon? NTTAWWT

Or my 83 year old Father who drinks it. 😆

That's a pretty big "except" imo. I could using the expression "drinking like a Mormon except..." and the "except" is a caffeinated cola during FSU game.

Fabulous IPA. Very smooth, low bitterness and clean finish.
Would look for more from this brewery.

If you know any FIBs near Normal, IL, I'd try stuff from these guys.

 

[runkpanole]

Last night, I went with an oldie, but goodie. Narragansett. It’s cheap, it tastes a hell of a lot better than Bud and Miller. I usually don’t go cheap, but I really enjoy a Gansett every now and then.

 

[Lindemann]

So far, about 4 Busch Lights, a couple of Bud heavies and few scotch on rocks. I'm fine with the cheapo Walker Red.

Posting in a couple threads...

If you're able to find/get hold of anything from the Hanabi Lager Co, would highly recommend.
Just finished their Hana Pils, and it is simply excellent

Will be good stuff

I've had one of the Julius's from Tree House and it's very good; I've grown to prefer the hops palates from Toppling and Equilibrium compared to it. Would never pass one up, though.

Keep that isht cold, and drink fresh.
