A customer just gave me one!!

Had one last night , will probably be my last , didn't like it ....had a sour rind taste to it .

 

[Tooms22]

Anybody have any suggestions for a good pale ale or IPA? I wanted to grab a six pack or two of something good on the way home today. I've had most of the big name craft beer brands.

Go by Bev Mo and grab some Modern Times.

Booming Rollers should be out right now, if not grab Fortunate Islands, City of Sun or Lomaland. They come in 4 packs of tall cans.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Guys on here probably think I work for them.....lol. Seriously.....they are putting out the best beer right now, hands down.

Yup, Modern Times is doing some great work. If any of your are near Fullerton, Bootleggers is bottling Knuckle Sandwich in 12oz. four-packs. The also have 22oz. of the Far Out IPA in-stock most of the time. It is hit and miss getting some of their stuff in stores.

 

[Runs2rch]

Modern Times is very very good. Ballast Point Sculpin and pineapple sculpin are also very good.

 

[Tooms22]

I love the their Sculpin. I actually had the Pineapple Sculpin on tap last night at the Auld Dubliner in Tustin. I thought it was way better than from a bottle.

I agree def better out of the bottle.

Have you had Ballast Point Calm before the storm?

I thought it was better on tap. Maybe I just need to pour it into a glass at home.

No, I haven't. The coffee beers tend to scare me off. I don't dislike them but after about half of one, I want a lighter beer.

If you can find some Far Out IPA from Bootleggers, that is one of my favorites. Usually only 22oz bombers though.

So you know the saying "Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry"? Well I have a new one... Don't go to Bevmo on Friday after a week of work!

I violated both last night. I took everyone's advice and got the three on the left at Bevmo. They had a 10 pack of Modern Times that had 5 different beers in it. I almost got it until I found out it was $27 :yikes Then I met the girlfriend at Costco, got way too much food, and grabbed the two beers on the right.

I had the Far Out IPA and the Toaster Pastry last night. The Far Out was awesome. It was pretty carbonated and not overly hoppy. It was fairly easy drink for an IPA. The Toaster Pastry smelled like the original pop tarts but it wasn't very sweet (I can't stand sweet beer). It was hoppy but still had some of that pop tart flavor. Definitely worth a try.



I don't think this glass goes well with the bottle...

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Went on a bottle run

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Out to lunch with the wife. She is having a Mango Even Keel and I am having Watermelon Dorado. Both are very good!!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Cracking open and oldie tonight......Wife left me home with all 4 kids so need something strong...lol.

Probably could sell it online for 4x what I paid, but what fun is that!!

Waited a year and a half. This sucker is alive. Foamed like crazy. Not worth the wait.

I couldn't wait for mine to maturation date. I won't get it again, either.

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

Another terrible beer. It does taste like soda.

I'm guessing that since you're in Winchester you were eating somewhere in the area? Who has beers like those? BTW, have you been to the Backyard Bottle Shop and Tap Room in Murrieta? Good place with probably 15-20 beers on tap and a bunch of bottles. http://backyardbottleshop.com

We were at Ballast Point in Temecula that day. My good friends are part owners of Backyard Bottleshop. I go there all the time!

Awesome, and I didn't know Ballast Point had a place in Temecula, we'll have to try it out. We went to Backyard once and really liked it. Looks like they have a good thing going!

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

Got a 4 pack and a sample.

 

[HALLETT BOY]

If you like Grapefruit Sculpin , you'll like this too !

 

[Racey]

Had some of that here at the shop about a week ago, also the Habanero Sculpin :thumbup:

 

[Tooms22]

Booming Rollers should be out right now, if not grab Fortunate Islands, City of Sun or Lomaland. They come in 4 packs of tall cans.

So I've had Fortunate Islands, City of Sun, and Booming Rollers so far.

City of Sun: Probably one of my favorite beers now
Fortunate Islands: Had it on tap and it was awesome
Booming Rollers: I was rather let down by this one. It was a very plain IPA with little flavor.

 

[Runs2rch]

I bought a couple the other day. It is okay. The pineapple and grapefruit Sculpin are def better.

 

[E4L]

Watermelon durado!!

Nasty ass shit in the bottle

 

[Old Texan]

Agreed.....Only watermelon taste i like, is an actual watermelon. Flavor does not transfer well to anything it's added to. Certainly not good beer.:thumbsdown

Made by monks is all I know.

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

Anyone going to the Bruery anniversary party tomorrow?

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

If anyone is interested I am selling my home brewing equipment. RDP price is $100 for everything. Pick up in Murrieta or South Orange County.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Other items it comes with.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Ok....back to business here. Sold the brewing equipment to an RDP member.


Cracked this big boy open tonight. Realized as we started packing that I have a lot of bottles I have been hoarding. Time to start drinking them!!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Heard good things about this one. Definitely didn't disappoint.

This one was ok....I thought I might've gotten a bad batch when I picked up the first 6 pack a while back but I really wasn't impressed when I had a pint at their long Beach location. The pineapple and habanero sculpin on the other hand.....wow. Those were delicious.

I just can't do the fruit thing. I had one and I'm done. Wife bought a six pack. She can have the other five.

I just prefer a double IPA. Nothing else can compare to delicious hops.

Agreed. Work around the corner where its brewed and the watermelon dorado just doesn't "do it"'for me. [emoji482]

My wife loves the habanero, the only problem is you need a beer to quench the beer.
