    Re: Favorite beer of choice?

    My local bottle shop did a really interesting and creative event on Friday evening. It was an East Coast vs West Coast IPA throwdown, complete with pictures of 2Pac and Biggie above the growler station, lol.

    Basically, there were 3 East Coast IPA's and 3 West Coast IPA's that were blindly sampled. At the end, you picked the beer that you enjoyed the most and that is what growler they filled for you. Whichever beer wins (the beer that kicks first), apparently they will have it on tap the whole month of June.

    If I remember correctly, the West Coast IPA's were Sculpin, Union Jack, and (drawing a blank on the third). The East Coast IPA's were Smuttynose FinestKind, Troegs Perpetual, and Evolution Lot 3. Believe it or not, I picked FinestKind as my favorite! Come to find out, the keg was 5 days old and it just had an outstanding dank, earthy flavor with mellow citrus tones. Honestly, after drinking 16 cans of Heady during the past 2 months, I actually see a strong similarity, despite FinestKind being a little lower in abv. I know it's an odd beer to compare to Heady, but out of all the IPA's I've had over the years, I honestly found the flavor profile in FinestKind to be most similar to that of Heady.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Smuttynose puts out some nice brews, have to revisit FinestKind as it has been a long while.

    Speaking of Heady, if they canned it with the cans Sly Fox uses I'd possibly listen to them in drinking it from the can.

    The latest Stone collab was very good but didn't taste as unique as it sounded. Didn't get much of the bourbon barrel aged tripel notes I expected.

    Yeah, PtE hype is ridiculous. I'm over it really, lots of readily available options that are on par with Pliny all over the place.

    I also tried Pliny over the weekend along with Blind Pig. Enjoyed both while really liking the Pliny. Not sure if I think it's over hyped or not, but a very solid beer.

    Haven't had this one but I have had many others from Against the Grain brewery. Thought I'd post it since it's relevant to DMB

    Looks like MBB is delayed a day...as if Wednesday wasn't bad enough already. This is the second time UPS has pushed delivery day back in the last month or so for me. Anyone else having issues?

    So, it SHOULD be out for delivery tomorrow.

    I had one package delayed, but it was my fault for not checking the box for "signature not required".

    I'm wondering if my drop off location lied to me and they only get a late morning pickup....they told me they get like an 11am pickup and a 4pm...I wonder if the 4PM is not actually happening.

    Sorryy!!! It's going out today, I had to wait till the weekend to get a last beer for the box and then it was no mail Sunday/Monday. But I'm literally about to go drop it off at FedEx on my lunch break. Should be at the target by Friday. Clues incoming.
