The Kick Box - On Hip!

Took a different way home and wanted to stop to get a six pack. Went into a store I rarely go to just because a red light made it easier than the one I normally go to. I found a couple things I planned on getting. Figured I might as well look at everything they have just in case I can find something that I always wanted but could never find.
Well I sure as shit did. Sitting there all by itself was a bottle of 2015 sam adams utopia. Needless to say I passed on the other shit I was gonna get.
Got to the counter and the guy asks if I heard about it in the newsletter. Shit their was a newsletter and I just wandered in and was first to get it?

In less exciting news now. I been trying to get my hands on beer camp for a few years now. Finally got that yesterday. Same situation too. I went to whole foods and on the way back to my sisters house I passed my favorite liquor store from when I lived in nj. They had 10 cases of it. I was gonna save them until I went back to delmarva but now it looks like beer camp is the best thing I have to have a session with this weekend.

 

First beer out of my weekly mix and match 6 pack is Hi Wire Gose. I'm not impressed, first taste kinda tasted like a bad domestic..like Coors.second sip was better but doesnt have much tartness. Blah.

In addition to the 6 pack I bought a bottle of Brand New Eyes by Birds Fly South, a local brewery. Its a farmhouse ale. I've been wanting to try this

 

reminds me of the last time I has a KIllians in 94.. revisit last night on a whim in line . and I said omg this taste like coors.

 

Wow I forgot all about Killians. I used to drink that a lot when I first started drinking beer

 

haha me too,, funny how the palette evolves .. i remember the taste of some beers in my youth like molson ,,grizzly ..havent visited them in years. but sure would know the taste now. lager . blah. but the killians a fun spin in time.

 

First Sierra Nevada beer camp is with surly brewing it's a ginger lager. I don't like ginger anything but this is actually not bad. It's got a real nice spiciness too it. I don't like the ginger taste but it's not too strong. Very good sipping beer.
The spiciness I mentioned is starting to remind me of red hots. Which despite the water like mouthfeel is the reason I say it's a sipper.

 

I was getting some beer for a party today and came really close to getting the beer camp. Couldn't really justify the $24 price tag for beer that mostly strangers will drink. Really looking forward to trying it at some point on my own though. The white IPA sounds particularly interesting.

 

The new Sierra Nevada 'Beer Camp' 12-pack is a total rip off. None of the beers even resemble the beers of the breweries they collaborated with.

 

Have you had it?

 

ive seen it and passed.. otravez or go home. everything sv is shit now..

 

I've had six of the twelve. I wasn't impressed with any of them. The Tree House collab, which was the most hyped of all twelve was especially disappointing. According to friends, the rest were nothing to write home about either.

 

Hmm, well, good to know. Might not be worth spending $24 on. Appreciate the advice.

 

Doing the cans first. Next is the east meets west with tree house.
At first taste it just seems like a typical citrus ipa. After a few sips the taste numbs down and seems pretty mellow.

 

Think he might have just failed the breathalyzer test ...lol...

 

Sadly it tastes nothing like a Tree House beer. It is pretty good for being a Sierra Nevada beer, though.

 

Picked up a bottle of the new Founders Doom today, a bourbon barrel aged imperial IPA coming in at a whopping 12.4% ABV.

I honestly was not expecting much, and this is pretty much exactly as I was expecting it to be -- unnecessarily boozy. A rebel without a cause.

Not bad, but not great, either.

But at least it packs a nice buzz!

 

Finally Bought A "Mans Beer".......12.4 % Should Grow Those Hairs On Your Chest......



Cheers Glen.

 

If my semi blacked out memories serve correct, then surely you know all about my hairy chest, Glenny.
