Fellowship of the Drink II: The Two (beer) Towers

[Thorrak]

jerbrew it is! Next up is @nickfern

Nickfern has a picklist in - Going to give him another minute or so, then I'll take his top choice

I can only imagine I'm missing a joke.

I don't think you're missing much... https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hamms-special-light/10291/

 

[jimyson]

Why not a high life? It is the champagne of beers.

True story

 

[jimyson]

I need to step away for a few. I won't deviate from my list.

I don't think you're missing much... https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hamms-special-light/10291/

Wow a 6. The lower the number the better right? Hahaha

 

[jerbrew]

Wow a 6. The lower the number the better right? Hahaha

I love how people actually took the time to rate that.

 

[badgerfan79]

I love how people actually took the time to rate that.

It's on sale for $7.99 a 30pack around here. What a deal.

 

[Thorrak]

Wow a 6. The lower the number the better right? Hahaha

Seriously. I didn't even know beers could achieve such depths!

@nickfern's highest available beer on his picklist happens to be @Thorrak's.

With that - pick #3: @afro_lou is up!

 

[PatrickGoss]

It's on sale for $7.99 a 30pack around here. What a deal.

I would take it over 10% of the "craft" beer I have had.

Never had an infected hams.

 

[Scturo]

Wow a 6. The lower the number the better right? Hahaha

Here's another winner,

Miller High Life

 

[RevKev]

Shrug. I have the darnedest luck.. I'm at work and didn't look much into my 10-19 picks so I'll probably reevaluate

 

[Thorrak]

Here's another winner,

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/miller-high-life/407/

Holy crap. Truly, something to aspire to!

 

[PatrickGoss]

Holy crap. Truly, something to aspire to!

I have brewed worse.

 

[jerbrew]

I would take it over 10% of the "craft" beer I have had.

Never had an infected hams.

I'd hate to say that i agree. Gimme a cold piss beer on a hot summer day and i'm happy. By gimme cold piss beer I mean 20. I love being able to drink beer all day and still being able to function and BBQ. I feel like that's not given enough credit.

 

[Thorrak]

With that - pick #3: @afro_lou is up!

@afro_lou has a picklist in - I'll give him another few minutes before taking his top available choice.

 

[Thorrak]

I have brewed worse.

Tell me about it. I'm starting to think I need to tell people I'm brewing ciders based on the amount of green apple that I've been getting lately.

@afro_lou's top available choice is @singybrue.

With that, it's time for pick #4! @jerbrew, you're up!

 

[jimyson]

Tell me about it. I'm starting to think I need to tell people I'm brewing ciders based on the amount of green apple that I've been getting lately.

Good pick

 

[jerbrew]

Yasssss. I was heavily looking at singybrue. But I get my #1. @afro_lou I choose you!

 

[MarkO22]

Yasssss. I was heavily looking at singybrue. But I get my #1. @afro_lou I choose you!

mine also

 

[Thorrak]

Yasssss. I was heavily looking at singybrue. But I get my #1. @afro_lou I choose you!

You have good taste - I love sour beers. One of my biggest complaints at the moment is that my favorite gose - a Finback concoction - isn't available in cans again until next Spring. Hopefully in time for Fellowship IV?

With @jerbrew's pick, it's time for #5: @gromitdj, you're up!


I'll repost the list of what is available after @gromitdj's pick.

 

[gromitdj]

And here I was thinking I had a chance at my #1!

But I'm excited for my #2, @Calaeb!

 

[Thorrak]

And here I was thinking I had a chance at my #1!

Also an amazing pick. @imasickboy - Your pick is up.

[badgerfan79]

You have good taste - I love sour beers. One of my biggest complaints at the moment is that my favorite gose - a Finback concoction - isn't available in cans again until next Spring. Hopefully in time for Fellowship IV?



With @jerbrew's pick, it's time for #5: @gromitdj, you're up!





I'll repost the list of what is available after @gromitdj's pick.

I have never got into sour beers that much. I'm more of a malt forward person. I'll have to try some sour beer since O'so brewing is not that far away.

 

[imasickboy]

Score! I get my number one pick.

@JDXX1971 I choose you.

 

[Thorrak]

Score! I get my number one pick.

@JDXX1971 I choose you.

It's amazing how few of the picklists that came through overlapped. One of the benefits to having local-ish beers, I suppose!

@jimyson - You're up!

 

[Thorrak]

I have never got into sour beers that much. I'm more of a malt forward person. I'll have to try some sour beer since O'so brewing is not that far away.

I hated them when I first had them, but mostly because the first ones I had were heavy in vinegar. It wasn't until I had milder berliner weisses and goses that I really started to get into them. Still - good alternative when you just aren't feeling malty (and they tend to be lower ABV I've found, so you can drink more of them!)

 

[jimyson]

@Thorrak, please check me. Is inkman next on my list?

 

[Thorrak]

@Thorrak, please check me. Is inkman next on my list?

cegan09 and inkman15 are both still available

 

[jimyson]

I thought someone just took cegan

 

[jimyson]

You're right. Sorry. Yes, I want cegan please

 

[Thorrak]

You're right. Sorry. Yes, I want cegan please

Good stuff! With that, it's @inkman15's turn at bat.

 

[jimyson]

Sweet! Been wanting to try some focal

 

[MarkO22]

Sweet! Been wanting to try some focal

I think it's better than Heady

 

[jimyson]

That's what I've heard too.

 

[Thorrak]

Sweet! Been wanting to try some focal

I think it's better than Heady

I do too, actually. Might be the sudden proliferation of NEIPAs though.

 

[Thorrak]

inkman has a picklist in - Going to give him another minute or two before I take his top available pick.

 

[jimyson]

I still can't believe that I got my 2nd choice.

 

[Thorrak]

And @inkman15 picks @jimyson!

With that, we move on to the 9th pick - @MarkO22

 

[jerbrew]

I do too, actually. Might be the sudden proliferation of NEIPAs though.

That's probably true. Never had the opportunity t try anything from the NE but the stuff made to style out here by Pure Project Brewing would be hard to beat by any standard. (they just started selling cans of one of their best I need to pick up...and maybe trade?). I think just like the proliferation of "west coast" IPA as a style (and SIPA and DIPA) we'll see a lot of great, and poor, beer of this style around the country. I would like to try some of the originals some day though.

 

[MarkO22]

I choose you RevKev

 

[Thorrak]

Perfect! On to pick #10 - @badgerfan79.
