Has anyone bought one of those Fat Tire collaboration 12 packs? Got some big names on the box... Avery, Allagash, Firestone Walker, Hopworks, Rhinegeist. I'm tempted but I hate Fat Tire. Just wondering how they are.

Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale. Not my favorite but ok.

I have never been a Sierra Nevada fan. Until today.

Sitting with a neighbor who scored a High Altitude Mix Pack at Costco for $20. Comes with four 24 oz bottles of:

Chocolate Chili Stout
Six Rights IPA
Dunkelwiezen Bock
Bigfoot

LOVED the Six Rights IPA. It's a double that comes across as a fruity single even though it's a 10% APV. Top 5 IPA for me because it's so fruity and light for the APV. I still would want Double Betty first but theis is right behind it and probably better for around the pool / beach on a hot day.

Shorts Strawberry Shorts Cake. This is actually better than I thought it would be. Definitely worth trying a single bottle.

That's what I drink at the ND Club of OC's Game Watches. On tap, FW DBA is a very good pour for the $ it's a good choice. In a bottle, I never buy it.

It's MUCH better on draft than bottled.

Thanks for the tip! Although I'm not sure I'll ever see it on draft.

Bought the same pack a few weeks ago...forgot I had it. You've inspired me to crack it open and you're right, it is very good! Up there with with the SN Hemisphere beers for me.

Shorts Brew Melt My Brain. Really good

Short's Brew Freedom of '78. Damn good stuff

Dragonmead Final Absolution trippel. Damn good. Not too sweet, banana flavor, very smooth. Really killer, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to trippels

Schneider Weisse Doppelbock. Drinking the rest after braising some pork.

This weekend
Founders ReDankulous Red IPA
Coronado 20th anniversary IIPA
SanTan MoonJuice IPA
Firestone Luponic Distortion 002

 

[ACamp1900]

BP Thai Chili Wahoo and Mission Conquistador IPA

 

[ACamp1900]

The Wahoo is rather good... It reminds me of the Flatbranch Jalapeño Brown in Columbia Missouri I've discussed on here before, best mass produced chili beer I've found.

Anybody tried High West Whiskey's Campfire? I am really enjoying it.

I have not had it. I have enjoyed many of High West's other releases though. They "make" some pretty good rye. How did you find the smoke smell/taste in it? Was it coastal (think Ardbeg, Laphroaig), wood smoke, or farm yardy?

Coronado 20th Anniversary IIPA
Very good but nothing special. Some nice fruit notes (peach, melon, grapefruit, guava and mango). Some bitter pine and fruit rind and a little caramel malt. Nothing magical but it is enjoyable.

I enjoyed it. Very unique.

Wood smoke, I'd say. It's a good blend of sweet from the Bourbon, spice from the Rye, and smoke from the Scotch.

I was at Live Oak earlier; I had the Doppelbock, and the Hef. I was told that another batch of Foudreweizen might be in the works and other collaborations are being discussed. Also, Primus may hit the shelves this next winter...

For now: Strangeland Porter. Pretty good, dark roast with plenty of flavor and body. One of my favorite local breweries. I should sleep, but when the date you've just met suggests priesthood, it's just gonna be one of those nights.

Just seeing this now. Gonna need more details on this!

Sorry I could not get right back with you.

I totally agree with this post. As a scotch , and also a bourbon fan, there are definitely notes of both right there. I would agree it is a woody smoke flavor. What little exposure I had with rye, left me feeling like it was a little harsh/hot, but I guess the marriage High West achieved here mellowed out the rye enough to really make this my favorite new bottle. Just ordered 4 more.

Picked up some more Wahoo... but...
