I had this . . . it was meh:

Triple Bag | Long Trail Brewing Co.


I did have the new Lagunitas Porter Fusion 34 - -it was also meh.


I had a bunch of crazy stuff two Friday's ago at Sam's Bottle Shop with a customer and forgot to record it. . . Burial Aged something . . . other stuff - - I have to do a better job with recording what I drink

That Triple Bag was a big deal when it came out - a long time ago. It was only ever ok, but at the time it was considered really strong.

EDIT: I just realized you typed "Triple". Never had that actually, only the Double Bag which was the original.

I've heard a lot of good comments about Highland brewery in Ashville. Costco has this 12-pack with Gaelic ale, oatmill porter, black mocha stout, Saw-Whet Saison, & St Teresa's pale. Any feedback on these?

 

[pawwright]

@Beau Diddly - I don't care for the Saison, but am not a big Saison fan, either. I like all the others.

That would be a great variety pack without that oatmeal porter.

my 0.02

Anybody wanna trade 4 of these for something good that isn't an IPA? I'll bring them to Relic Run if you're going.

To honor one of the best to play the game last night I had to break out one of the best beers to toast him.

man could you ship me some pliny? I've only the opportunity one time to have it when i was in Cali on draft. I'd love to have it again.

This is pretty cool go Charlotte

President Obama and Angela Merkel will likely be drinking Charlotte beer at the world’s largest trade show

That really depends on what you're offering on trade.

Sadly RR pulled out of the washington market 1 year ago so I don't have easy access to them. I have friends and people I trade with ship the beer to me from Cali and Denver so they are pretty tricky for me to get and end up costing me a bit to get them. That or close friends give them to me as birthday or xmas gifts. I wish I could ship a bunch back for the meet and greet or xmas party for you guys but my cost to do that would be huge.

Next time i'm down in the Bay area i'm going to try and procure a case so I can do some swapping with guys back in NC. Or maybe ship it as a raffle prize for logans run. Lol

Bummer...didn't know that. I might have a few heady toppers coming my way which would seem trade worth for pliny. If I get more than a couple cans I'd probably willing to trade. If you want some rare NC beers let me now which ones and I could probably score. I'd love to do a taste test side by side of Pliny and NODA hop drop and roll.

Yea shipping may be too much of an ask / expensive. Trading seems way to do it!

Waldo's Special Ale | Lagunitas Brewing Company

Didn't see any on tap nearby via there site, but they are rolling out new sites each day.

 

[jfz80]

Man I hope the purchase of ballast point by .. Um (gasp) anheiser Busch doesn't affect them negatively. Now more widespread distribution and coming off that $15 sixer price would be nice. Doubtful but nice

 

[shellb]

Jason where are you seeing that deal? I thought they were bought by Constellation last year.

 

[lt1fire]

yeah they are a member of the constellation group...... Compadres with Corona now lol

 

[joyRidaz]

Terrapin Golden Ale, avail only in GA supposedly. Light, refreshing, overall good outdoor drinker.

Sorry I missed this one. And didn't read it anywhere trustworthy.... Just both bottle shops mentioned within a week here and was news to me. Carry on; sounds like you are more aware than them anyhow
