Us frontier folk west of I-35, have a powerful thirst that's agoin unmet! The West Side of the state sucks. We are hitting Mason City/Clear Lake this weekend, but would get to those anyhow since they are along the 35. The Okobojis will suck, and the ones in the south west. We have no reason to be out that way, also the far SE,Fort Madison? Why? No reason to go out that way.

Anyone drink anything good lately? Surly Coffee Bender, Desthil Flanders Red (unimpressed), flights from Another Road in Marion (their Hefe was super good) and Third Base in Cedar Rapids over the weekend. I also got a bottle of La Folie '15 two weeks ago from Cyclone Liquors up in Ames, something else there too, but I can't recall right now. Find Destihl's Adambier. Not bad at all. I've never fucking heard of the style before, but it's good. I saw their Flanders in cans too.......figured it'd suck. How unimpressive was it? I fucking love Coffee Bender. Gawddamnit I'm so fucking happy to see Surly all over the place now. Both Benders are just fucking tasty. Their CynicAle isn't too bad.

I drank one in the shower after a commute home from work (I've been commuting via bicycle) and it was a pretty damn good shower beer. I hear the Gose in the cans was good though. Got to visit Lake Time Brewery in Clear Lake and cock City Brewery last weekend for those that give and fuqs Oh, almost forgot to mention we went to Madhouse Friday night. They tapped 4 or 5 barrel aged beers that day. HOLY SHIT! Everything they had put out in the past was mediocre but everything I had Friday all 5 were really good.

I just got back from Florida and I think that Cigar City's Jai Alai is my new favorite IPA.

I bought a new Flanders today. An import, mind you...
Also bought a mikkeler IPA that looked good and scored like 100 on some website.
What's everyone's experience with Stillwater?

I thought I mentioned Jacobsin Rouge recently but apparently not, yes that's good stuff. TG just released a new batch of their Pompeii IPA and it is excellent.

Don't let Dug troll you like this. I have a hard time remembering (~700 unique beers is a lot to keep straight) but I think I liked their Morningwood the best. I think I had a Cheri tart (maybe it was Strawberry...) at The Keg Stand and it tasted "off". So yeah, maybe I don't like them that well but like I said, they do local sours and those are few and far between. I just plain like beer and am pretty much pro anything micro, bonus if it is local.

My experience with Stillwater is they made the best stout I've ever had, that was their pappy Vanwinkle barrel aged stout, other than that I haven't had anything else.

Drinking the Babylonian Ale now.....meh. Doses't suck at all. Just meh. I keep fucking seeing 3 Font's Intense Red Kriek for fucking $18.99 for a < 12oz bottle. Uhhhh, lower it to < $8.00 and we'll talk... I've had it before, it's good, it's just not worth that price.....................

I think a lot of people share your opinion about the intense red which is why no one can sell their inventory of that stuff.

I think I recently missed out on a "purge" type sale at the HyVee in Carroll. They had all kinds of Jolly Pumpkin and Jester King stuff, among other things, that just weren't selling...... I'd buy stuff whenever I was there, but I figured they'd eventually just "fire sale" the works. Well they fucking must have, because the whole shelf is like gone. Oh well, didn't figure it would sell good in Carroll fucking Iowa.

I've had it before, it's good, it's just not worth that price..................... I'm to the point where I just don't want to pay a bunch of money for a bottle anymore. I don't care if it is good or rare, there is plenty of other stuff out there I haven't had that I don't have to pay out the ass for. For me most of the fun is drinking stuff I haven't had before regardless of its popularity. That said I still enjoy a "great", whatever that means, beer every now and again.
