I find some of these GABF medal winners to be a reach at times FWIW. They had almost 400 entries to these particular styles. I mean, I remember it being good...but dang.

Thanks for the heads up. I was talking to the beer guy at my local spot and we were talking about how it's tough to commit to a 12 pack when you're not sure about the beer.

AUDub 11,974 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Nice haul at the Pig. DDH Envie has floated down here, and Xocoveza has hit the shelf. By the way, Xocoveza is canned this year. That's a change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 At Bearded Iris. Mood Ring(cherry, tangerine, lime, almonds) fruited IPA and Voyager DIPA. Mood Ring is bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) This is, how do the kids say, thicc AF. A true milkshake IPA if I’ve ever had one, I thought the mouth of the can was going to clog. As for the beer itself, it’s intensely delicious and totally unique. It truly lives up to the name. Saturday was our first time at Southern Grist, and I will absolutely skip Bearded Iris for them if I’m given the option of being only to visit one. Huge tap list, about 20 taps. Great sours to choose from as well. Boil the Ocean gose might give Westbrook a run for the money. Time to move to Nashville.

Trashy photo aside, I was pretty stoked to be in a dive bar with a cooler stocked full of Homestyle. Well aware of the shower beer phenomenon. Brew Dog’s new hotel in Cincinnati has a fridge in the shower for that sole purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 We didn’t even bother getting full pints at SG. Two flights and 3 additional samples had us set. They had arguably one of the sweetest, thickest stouts I’d ever had called Broconut. It was tasty, but I really don’t think I could finish a full pint of it by myself. Tasted like a Mounds bar.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I really wish I would've figured out a way to brand and monetize my love for shower beers like 15 years ago, or even just thought to try. I'm sure they were a thing for other people then, but nobody really thought in terms of things being a thing back then. Now everything's a thing. But shower beers are deserving of that status.
