All they do is post pictures. Don't even offer opinions. I was like I know I'm the new guy here but what is the point? 11 hours ago, ShocksMyBrain said: 2018 Narwhal. Fuego. Big roast. Coffee. Bitter chocolate. Waiting for the warm up and will report. 10 hours ago, Tiger Refuge said: One of my favorites. God, I love Narwhal. Co-signed. Right there with Expedition Stout as the best of the widely available seasonal imperial stouts IMO. And way more reasonably priced. Really, I just love Sierra Nevada. Picked up a 12 pack of Torpedo for $14 this weekend for beach beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 BB4 11/18. 😑 Massive mistake on my part to not look at the bottom of the can. Omnipollo Oaxaca. Tastes fine, but flavors are muted and hops have faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,776 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Also, I want to tell everyone about something I did last night. Something I’m not sure I’ve ever done before. I stiffed a bartender. City Tap House Nashville. This is probably the fanciest bar food spot I’ve ever been to. They have a handful of locations about the country. Why I stiffed the bartender: 1. I ordered a pint of Bearded Iris Homestyle at $8(!), she charged me for the seasonal tap...something from TN Brewworks priced at $9(!). Wasn’t a pint, served in a 12oz plastic beer cup. 2. Wife ordered a cocktail($10) and it was the most miserable looking skimpy cocktail I’ve ever seen in my life and it tasted awful. Bartender asked her if it tasted okay, to which my wife told her the truth...it was skimp and bad. Wife ordered a replacement cocktail for $6, which is fair. We got charged for the wrong beer and we’re also charged for the full price of the s*** cocktail wife was originally provided instead of the cocktail she actually enjoyed. We had to request an itemized receipt. Sorry to any service workers, current or present, but that’s how a customer feels swindled and how your tip gets taken away. And yes, I worked in the food service industry for a long time. This was after we tipped the girl $20 at Southern Grist for pouring 4 pints and filling a couple crowlers. We wont be returning to City Tap, and I would suggest anyone else use caution. Edited October 26, 2018 by ShocksMyBrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had "high alcohol IPA isn't barley wine" explained to me before, but I still don't really get it. And I really can't *taste* a difference between a, say, 3 year old 120 and a big barley wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
