I haven't eaten in Evening Star in over a decade, but it was very good. Rustico, who can complain about that? Food's great and a very nice beer selection. VERY nice.
Anybody out in California want to ship me some Pliny?On a more serious note, if anyone has had Heady Topper, my number 1, give Lagunitas Sucks a shot if you can find it. I'd say it's 85% of the Topper.
From the Twins spring training park:(Image removed from quote.)
Where do the Twins have spring training ?
Nice. Beer shakes sound good to me.
I have the opposite problem, I get the shakes when I don't have beer. That's normal. Right?
Young's?? Noice
I'm just now reading through this thread. I can get you some HT and PtE if you'd like. Or I could bring some down for the 4th of July game. Newer batches of course.
Missed this. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/going-out-guide/wp/2014/03/04/try-heady-topper-allegedly-the-worlds-best-beer-tonight-in-adams-morgan/?tid=hpModule_42517084-919d-11e2-bdea-e32ad90da239&hpid=z15
UPDATE: As an FYI from Hill Farmstead, which doesn't like it when their beers are sold outside of Vermont, the beers on tonight's menu include several growlers that were filled at Hill Farmstead one or two weeks ago, including Motueka, George, Edward and Harlan. Two other Hill Farmstead beers, Arthur saison and Daybreak imperial stout, will be poured from bottles.Hill Farmstead's (understandable) fear is that the beer in growlers might not be in the best shape, due to issues of time and travel. Bourbon's James Woods says that "I understand their views, in terms of quality control. We're going to open and taste every growler tonight before serving them." If flavors are off, Woods says, he'll only pour the bottled Hill Farmstead beers.Fiddlehead IPA is also being poured from growlers, because the brewery doesn't bottle or can its beers. If the Fiddlehead is off, Woods will substitute another beer in its place. Even if the beer in growlers is in fine shape, Woods says, he obviously won't sell any of it after tonight.
sounds pretty crappy so a $35 ticket for some flat beer?
I guess, but if you want craft beer, $35 bucks at any shop gets you a lot, maybe not from these super secret, we don't want to participate in commerce hipster breweries, but those places are usually just hyped based on scarcity
