Sucks is awesome. Up there with some of the best dipa, imo.

Also this Sunday at Yazoo, they are releasing their first Embrace The Funk collab in Bottles...Deux Rouges. Flanders. The Embrace the Funk guy is an very active member of the Nashville beer scene and homebrewer who specialized in Sours. He started the sour program at Yazoo and is doing some great stuff. The release on Sunday is very limited (600) and at brewery only.

Hey Volntitan, you going to the Deux Rouges release? They should have put those in 12 oz or 375ml bottles IMO. Also I think it's a bit pricy considering Yazoo isn't really known for their sours.

had a rouge chipotle ale last night. Was interesting/different with that bit of spice, but was good (though I wouldn't drink it all the time)

On thursday night I tried a Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar which was good and a Sierra Nevada Porter whcih I also liked.

Love trying new beers

Laika Cabernet-aged Russian Imperial Stout: a mouthful of relief after a day on the slopes. Not for the weak-of-heart.

I did go. I think the bottle size was fine. You don't normally put barrel aged sours in smaller bottles. As far as price goes, they were pricey, but the place was packed and they ended up selling every bottle that day. I bought 4, but 2 are for a buddy who couldn't make it. Sour Beers are generally more expensive since the work involved in them. Plus for me it was more about supporting the program.

Yazoo's sour program isn't well known right now, but I think that will change. Brandon Jones is a "legend" homebrewer of sours here before he joined on with them. They have already done alot of taproom only sours and were very well received at Savor in DC and were invited to bring 4 of their beers to Crooked Stave's "What The Funk" Invitational. Sour Beers are generally more expensive since the work involved in them.

Plenty of sours are put in small bottles. My two favorite American producers of sours Crooked Stave and Russian River both do. I understand it cost a lot of money to make sours given the cost of the barrel plus storage costs etc, but Crooked Stave sells their 375ml bottles for 10 bucks meaning that if you buy two, that's 20 bucks for 25.4 ounces. I don't get why it would be 5 dollars more for less beer than a brewery that is as renowned as CS. When I read the promo for it, I got the feeling that he wanted to create the same hysteria that other breweries do with this type of release and since he did, mission accomplished.

Crooked Stave's operation is quite a bit more established and bigger than the sour program at yazoo as well. $25 for a 26 oz sour certainly isn't unheard off by any means. Crooked Stave is awesome and their stuff is in the $10 range for the small bottles, but you get into their cellar reserve stuff and it's more than that obviously and it is deserved. Cost alot more money per bottle to do 600 than to do 60,000.

I'm a member of the cellar reserve and while it is 300 for 20 375 ml bottle, you do get some swag and glassware. When you have the option to buy bottles it costs us at the most $10.20 for the some on the high end of the spectrum and about 6 bucks on the low end. I wound up with about 6 times as many bottles as if I had gotten just the minimum allotment.

At this point it kind of pisses me off. I run a c-store and don't get why we would be exept from this. After all, we are pretty much a small grocery store that sells gas. They are mostly large grocery stores...that sell gas. How is that fair? What the hell is the distinction?

It's all screwed up for sure. I don't understand why Grocery stores should be able to sell it, but not small "beer" stores. Also, why separate beer and liquor sides of places like Midtown. It's the lobbyists that are screwing the pooch.
