inkman Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Irony is using a non-Buffalo based producer to make and distribute One Buffalo. Oats, wheat, and 4.8%? It's not an IPA, that's for sure. More like IP frequently Quote
shrader Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 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. Quote
Weave Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Posted August 14, 2015 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. Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Anyone had anything from Creature Comforts? I recommend the Athena, Topicalia and Reclaimed Rye Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 At southern tier now drinking One Buffalo right now. Its a crowd pleaser for the stadium crowd no doubt. Quote
Weave Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Posted August 15, 2015 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? Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I am not drinking One Buffalo but I wanted to share what I was drinking. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 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. Quote
shrader Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I've settled on going to a different brewery tomorrow after learning the owner is from Buffalo. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I've settled on going to a different brewery tomorrow after learning the owner is from Buffalo. Draftline? Their graf pale ale is pretty good Quote
shrader Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 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. Quote
The Dominator Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 Black Boss porter. Polish beer. I dig it :beer: Quote

Claude_Verret Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 At Raleigh beer garden with the 360+ taps. Notice the brewery umbrellas on the roof top patio.... Quote
LTS Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 You didnt look at the link, did you? Lol. Its a Southern Tier beer. 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. Quote
LTS Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 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. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Went down the beer aisle today at the local food dog..uggghh they're back! Quote
SwampD Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 Had a Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Extra! Ale the other night. Man, did I enjoy it, and I'm not an ale guy. Quote
LTS Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 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. http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/08/blind-tasting-115-of-the-best-american-dipa-and-im.html and here's the IPA blind tasting http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/04/blind-tasting-116-of-the-best-american-ipas-we-hav.html?p=3 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). Quote

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

Claude_Verret Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 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. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 Last night I played a gig at Heavily Brewing in Montour Falls. Drank several Big Ivan's Red from Climbing Bines. So amazing. And so overhung. Quote
