Their CPA is good. Honestly their beers are just decent, nothing spectacular but all solid. I know they are in the process of constructing a tap room, are you sure that they're doing tours now?

 

According to the website, yes.  Maybe they don't update that though.

The nitro push is what makes the difference. Any beer on nitro will be less fizzy. Small bubbles.. love nitro.

 

And it is a real stout. I'm not sure why anyone thinks it isn't. BJCP Style 13A. Dry Stout - ABV 4-5%

 

 

It could be an IPA. Some session IPA's will add oats for beef up the body while using less malt. The wheat usually detracts from the body a bit so that's an interesting twist. Who is brewing it?

You didnt look at the link, did you? Lol. Its a Southern Tier beer.

At southern tier now drinking One Buffalo right now. Its a crowd pleaser for the stadium crowd no doubt.

Gimme more detail! Style? Taste impressioms?

Very light pale ale. 4.8%. Oats lend to smooth mouthfeel, mildly assertive hop bitterness. It didn't offend any of my macro beer consuming family so I think it hits the mark for what they were going for.

Draftline? Their graf pale ale is pretty good

That's the one. The wife always wants to wonder through that town so it's a nice two birds with one stone. I haven't had any of their beer yet so we will see how it is.

Double Jack double IPA and a chunk of 7yr old cheddar.

 

#heaven

 

Edit: Double jack

I love Double Jack. Had Noble Citra Showers tonight. Just love Citra.

You are correct.  I did not read it. Thanks for the info!

 

Someone posted a picture that I saw showing the relative line at the Bills game.  20+ in line for One Buffalo, 2 in line for Molson Canadian.  If that trend continues it underscores my thoughts on them putting this out.  Well done, perfect timing, hello revenue.

Had Three Heads Brewing Giant Panda Dub Style IPA last night.

 

I think it's the best beer they've released to date.  It's really pretty incredible.

 

I'm just waiting for their brewery to open the doors because I know some of the changes they will make to the recipes will improve the other beers.

I've mentioned I do blind tastings with a group of people who are all in the beer industry (brewers, distributors, etc.)

 

This is not that group.. but I came across this the other day and figured I would post it given some recent discussion on DIPA / IPA.

Pliny at 18, Heady at 16... 

 

I think the list in the wheelhouse of what I would have expected.  I haven't had 3 of the top 4 (I'll seek out the Grimm soon).

Wow.  My little local bar in a rural county has two of the top 7 on draft right now.

Well, that's 231 beers I'm never going to drink. :lol:

Interesting. The highest ranked IPA that Ive had is grapefruit sculpin, and I didn't particularly love it, regular sculpin is better IMO. For DIPA the highest I've had is FW Double Jack, and that's neck and neck with Pliny IMO.

 

Interesting methodology, but unless I missed it, I think it's somewhat flawed. Putting them in daily flights of 10 helps, but if all the judges got the same beers in the same order, the beer going 10th is at a pretty big disadvantage. I know they say the cleansed their palates, but IPAs wreak havoc on the palate no matter what you do. That's why I never entered an IPA in a homebrew competition.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
