Well almost, the governor still has to sign the bill.

They are opening a growler store 5 minutes from my house. I'm in sooo much trouble.

Love some sours, but this being on a Sunday doesn't work for me.

Hey...

Going to be in your neck of the woods on Sunday (picking up a puppy). Where should we go to bring BBQ home?

No where around me. If you're talking Memphis I would go Central or Germantown Commisary.

Recent beers:

Double Bastard fans will recognize the red/gray version as a 2008. My favorite year for it.

 

[VolnTitan]

Good choices. Not a big fan of the Bruery one. Obviously Russian River is A+. Like the imperial biscotti, although a little too desserty for me...just a bit.

Smoking Wood was the first smoked beer that I've fully enjoyed but it's definitely a pairing beer. Would have been excellent with a good and fatty ribeye.

I don't eat beef, so can't do that I've never been fully blown away with any Bruery I've tried, but I know they are well thought of!

BTW...excellent glasses!

Black Abbey is selling theirs online.

I'll just wait for them to open, but love the lost abbey glass

9296. Is Black Abbey distributing? Never seen it around. What's the deal?

 

[VolnTitan]

Black Abby is a new brewery opening in nashville. They've been very slow in opening (probably 2-3 years), getting financing and doing a lot of tastings. They are a group of local home brewers taking the leap. Good beer. Should be open soon.

 

[USAF_Vol]

Thanks VNT. Pretty awesome home brewers doing that. That's the ultimate dream for a homebrew guy. Hope they get it going.

 

[9296potsguy]

Yeah, what he said. I've had their stuff at a couple of beer fests and they've always been my favorite of the show. I have very high hopes for them. Hope I don't jinx them.

 

[VolnTitan]

You can follow the progress on their facebook page. Looks like it will be an awesome place.

[VolnTitan]

About to try Copper Kettle Mexican Chocolate stout and their High Country Breakfast Stout.

 

[VolnTitan]

Never had either. We are having a big tasting at Cool Springs Brewery this Sunday. Doing a Goose Island BCBS vertical from normal 06-12 BCBS to Coffee, Vanilla, Rare, Bramble, and maybe the cherry. Looking forward to it.
