"Devils Tramping Ground Tripel - 9.2% alc/vol. A hearty Tripel Belgian ale. This Tripel ale will grow hair in places you don't want. Our Tripel is a golden colored ale that has a fruity spicy flavor that finishes a bit sweet. The Devil's Tripel is light tasting from the addition of candy sugar. We add just the right amount of hops to balance out the sweetness. If you are from NC you will know where this place is...maps.google.com search on 'devils tramping ground'. Make the pilgrimage to the devils tramping ground..and bring some Tripel with you for the full experience. ALWAYS AVAILABLE (or at least we try...this beer goes quick"

I picked up a keg of this from Aviator to go in the break room at work. Good stuff!

7/28/2010 8:15:04 PM

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale is goddamned amazing.

7/29/2010 10:11:51 AM

I picked up these at the store between today and yesterday. Not sure what else to bring home because I'm pretty n00bly about quality beer.



[Edited on July 30, 2010 at 1:47 PM. Reason : the ones in the back are Westmalle Trappist Tripel]

7/30/2010 1:47:18 PM

7/30/2010 1:49:04 PM

Lindemans Kriek, its a cherry beer. I got it in Belgium.

Picked up some Summer Solstice for a party tonight but also picked up a bottle of



The bourbon barrel variety

and


Duck Rabbit rocks

7/30/2010 5:04:22 PM

^you get those at Sam's?

7/30/2010 5:29:47 PM

Negative, I live in the triad

7/31/2010 4:55:36 AM

Has anyone tried Oskar Blues Gubna?

7/31/2010 4:05:01 PM

I had a Shiner Smokehaus at lunch & it was amazing!

7/31/2010 4:33:06 PM

^^Yes, I was high on it at the time but not so much anymore.

Made out like a bandit, Total Wine in GSO had a left over case of 22oz HG Cold Mountain for a $1.

7/31/2010 5:07:35 PM

^dayum, that's a badass deal...there's still some around town but it's not discounted and I don't feel like splurging on it (they only have the flip top 1 liter bottles)

Picked up a couple of bombers of this the other day:

7/31/2010 7:49:21 PM

bttt. For you Foothills fans out there, they are now shipping in bottles. Torch Pilsner and Hoppyum started rolling out this week and Baltic Porter and People's Porter just got label approval.

Sam's Quick Shop in Durham is in stock apparently

8/6/2010 8:03:17 AM

i get hoppyum whenever I go to mission valley movie theater now... i think it helped push me into my recent pale ale binge


HOOOOOPS!!!

"Newyorkposter – Somewhere over the Pacific, Pabst Blue Ribbon began putting on airs. That reliably blue-collar Milwaukee lager, later adopted by unbearable hipsters on the coasts, has turned up in China. And P.B.R., best known in the U.S. for being the cheapest beer on the grocery-store shelf, has—like so many expatriates before it—taken the move as an opportunity to change its image. For a beer, that appears to involve an elegant glass bottle and a fantastically ridiculous price tag. One bottle: forty-four dollars. P.B.R. has been reborn as “Blue Ribbon 1844” beer in China, advertised in magazines as a “world famous spirit” to be savored from a champagne flute. As a recent advertisement in Window of the South magazine put it: It’s not just Scotch that’s put into wooden casks. There’s also Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer 1844."

8/6/2010 10:53:46 AM

Getting some Duvel in today. I have the price set kinda high on it.

8/6/2010 10:56:06 AM

^^ genius.

and...didn't take long:

I'm going to have to try that Tumbler. Sierra is, by far, my favorite large-scale microbrewery...

Where did you see that? I was at Sam's yesterday and they definitely didn't have it...they also haven't posted they got it on facebook or twitter.

8/6/2010 1:30:18 PM

Had the Summer Basil Farmhouse Ale and the Sweetpotato Carver from FullSteam. Yay!

8/6/2010 5:18:30 PM

Made the trip out to Sam's yesterday morning and snagged some:


as well as some Foothills Baltic Porter and Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Black Barleywine

8/14/2010 2:40:16 PM

how was the Tumbler? thinking about picking some up tonight.

8/14/2010 3:56:05 PM

I'm not generally a huge fan of the deep cocoa taste in beers and kind of has that with a coffee-ish taste. I am such a huge Sierra fan that it left me a bit disappointed. Still, I hope it comes to Saucer on draft shortly to try it outside a bottle.

They replaced the Anniversary Ale which was my favorite IPA with the Tumbler, so that kind of sucks.

** Oh, and I was NOT a fan at all of any of the Full Steam beers. They ranged from truly awful to no taste to blah. Just not a top tier brewery IMO. Will probably not have again.

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 4:15 PM. Reason : hahaha that Sierra Barleywin might as well be a meal]

8/14/2010 4:13:19 PM

i do not enjoy coffee so i'm thinking i wouldn't like this. not going to get a sixer of it until i've tried a bottle.

8/14/2010 4:15:12 PM

abt to go to a party, taking

3 sierra nevada torpedos
3 bear republic red rockets
3 bear republic racer 5s

all nommy

8/14/2010 4:15:49 PM

I didn't think Tubmler had much of a coffee flavor at all, more of a caramel/toasted bread/toffee thing going on. Personally I didn't mind them replacing the Anniversary ale, they already make so many hoppy beers that all kind of run together flavor-wise (pale ale, torpedo, celebration, all 3 harvest beers).

8/14/2010 4:23:14 PM

how is that rumble ipa? for some reason oak-aging an ipa seems really weird to me, but i love my beers super hoppy

8/14/2010 5:58:01 PM

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, since I worked last night and am working tonight. I'm sure they just added oak chips to the conditioning tank, so it might not have been "aged" any longer than your average IPA. Plus it was bottled less than two weeks ago so it should be plenty hoppy.

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 6:09 PM. Reason : .]

8/14/2010 6:03:52 PM

i'm going to drink beer tonight

8/14/2010 6:16:29 PM

I've already had a couple

8/14/2010 6:21:24 PM

i'm going to drink beer tonight

8/14/2010 6:22:22 PM

are you going to drink beer with me?

8/14/2010 6:23:02 PM

I believe so. Are you going to Ruckus later?

8/14/2010 6:24:20 PM

I'm going to drink GOOD beer tonight!

8/14/2010 6:24:52 PM

indeed...

it may not be too much later though...

i'm starving...

when are you going up there

8/14/2010 6:24:58 PM

Not sure. I need to get off my lazy ass and go to the liquor store, then I'll probably head out.

8/14/2010 6:26:30 PM

do that and meet there in an hour

8/14/2010 6:27:19 PM

I'll try, but an hour and a half is more realistic. I still need to shower today.

8/14/2010 6:40:37 PM

i'm a girl...

do you think i really meant an hour...

agreed!

I had a Aecht Rauchbier Marzen last night.



It was really good, but I'll be damned if it didn't smell like bacon at first whiff. Very smoky smell and taste. Didn't taste like the typical Marzen I'm used to.
