The QuadraphonicQuad Craft Beer/Microbrew thread

I see them in the deep South! Didn't know they had a Scottish connection. Given our temps, microbrews are not in their
element here, but that hasn't stopped a lot from springing up. My smallish hometown even has one, and it's decent!

They started in Scotland, https://brewdog.com/ & history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrewDog

I like the Dead Pony Club APA at 3.8% when I've drunk it (last time a couple of months back watching a Pink Floyd tribute playing in Exeter Cathedral - who had a bar selling it!!), but our PAs/IPAs are about half the strength of those brewed in the US!

Weaker?? Maybe now (IPA has a much shorter history in the US). In the 80s I was a foreign student in Edinburgh, and remember my very first time in a pub (The Greenmantle, which, to my surprise, was still there on my visit last April). I had two pints, stood up to go to the bog, and knocked my table as I was more affected by the alcohol than I thought.

Next table to me was a guy, TEN EMPTY PINT GLASSES ON HIS TABLE, who looked at me, and sarcastically
said in full Scottish brogue, "What are ye, an ALCOHOLIC?"

BrewDog Aloha, Cocoa Psycho and Abstrakt AB22 are where it's at.

BrewDog Aloha, Cocoa Psycho and Abstrakt AB22 are where it's at.

Even if only for the names.

Even if only for the names.

"Abstrakt AB22" sounds like a flu strain.

A beer salute to our fellow QQ member and friend -- Boonie.
This beer is a DIPA., 9 percenter. Very citrusy ( makes sense, right ? ) 50 ABV.
Good beer - I'll go 7.5 on a 10 scale

I wonder if they will use this song in the new upcoming Nosferatu remake.

Thanks Ricky. I appreciate your intentions. But realize I'm sort of adverse to anything "Florida Man", with all the baggage that entails. My family is 8 generations here in what has become a joke to the rest of the country.

 

[Marplot]

8 generations is pretty cool, shame about the baggage.

catching up on some recent beers.
Firestone Walker Parapajamas
Imperial Mile Stout with Cocoa, Vanilla Bean and Marshmallow.
It is every bit as big and tasty as it sounds.

Evil Twin Brewing
ET Stay(ed) Home 12
Fruit Sour w/Raspberry, Blueberry, Sweet Cherry, Sour Cherry
This was like the offspring of a sour patch kid getting it on with a Welch's fruit drink.
This was a tart and tasty beast I wish I had bought more than 2 of.

Hoppin' Frog Rocky Mountain Barrel Aged Muileann Toir T.O.R.I.S.
It is a TORIS variant so nothing needs said.
If you like stouts and haven't tried Hoppin' Frog, well that is like listening to something one of the Steven's mixed in surround only in mono ... ;-)

Unfortunately, one of the best, if not the best, breweries here in SA is closing next Sunday. Had a few epic brews there today and got some crowlers to go .

WOOO-E! I don't think you can sell 11% beer here. In fact when I moved here 40+ years ago, all the County would allow was 3.2 near beer.

Upland Dragonfly IPA. Not sure if local…I’m in Louisville KY tonight

 

[GOS]

Very nice hotel, with a cool bar and grill. I’m the only one here. The bartender is brainless, zero personality and staring blindly at the far TV, which seems to be showing some degenerative cartoon.
