Boxus Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Green Flash is a ridiculously consistent brewery. I need to drive down to San Diego and spend a weekend @ GF, Stone, and Ale Smith. Maybe I should just move to San Diego, see if the breweries need one of those...law-talking... guys. I visited Stone once and has a blast, their beer garden is a little slice of heaven. I wish I'd had time to check out Green Flash too. Hopefully I can make it out there again when I'm back in the south side of the state. Their double stout is also insanely tasty.

Guest A/D Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 just found out about Midas Touch (Dogfish Head). made my day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think Midas touch tastes like wet dog :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A tart, subtly sweet Berliner weissbier which is actually the same type as Magic Hat's Elder Betty. Haven't tried that one, but Festina Peche has got to be one of the best beers to have on a hot day. If it wasn't so pricy, It'd be my go-to brew in these sweltering times.

Guest uptown devil Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 ^^ bought a four-pack of that last week, so tasty. it's a shame it's not available year round. it's especially delicious on draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Damn you bastards flaunting your DFH beers... They're in the process of expanding. I can only hope they'll be coming to KS soon. I've heard good things about their collab with Deltron, "Positive Contact". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm gonna go ahead and be the asshole who says that Dogfish Head beer is overrated. It doesn't suck, but I find it quite gimmicky and not as quality as all the great other competition out there. Although I'd never deny the greatness of 60 & 90 min IPA!

baph Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have a Stone-Victory-DFH Saison du BUFF collaboration sitting at home to try tonight. I am excite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 DFH does have a lot of gimmicky beers, but I would like to try them =) I'm mainly interested in trying the 60/90/120 min IPAs though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd never deny the greatness of 60 & 90 min IPA! they're kinda hit or miss, but their hits are really good! My favorite is Midas Touch, and 90 min is delicious. Palo Santo Marron I can't get into, too sweet and heavy. edit - the 60/90/120 min. are a little overrated too IMO. Definitely good IPAs but nowhere near the best. The hops have kind of a sickly-sweet richness in them, which makes it harder for me to stomach than other crafty IPAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have a Stone-Victory-DFH Saison du BUFF collaboration sitting at home to try tonight. I am excite. Awesome! I had that, and it was quite good. Stone's beers in particular are sold at an amazing price for the quality. (Although I think some of theirs are misses, too. But their straight up Russian Imperial Stout is one of the best I've ever had, second only to Firestone Walker Parabola.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, this is a beauty: My favorite Lagunitas offering by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Just started recovering from a shitty summer cold and finally got my sense of taste back, so I've been helping myself to a couple of these from the brewery down the road. Perfect summer beer for me, light, citrusy and tastes sharper when it's chilled. Unlike most of the local breweries around here, it seems as though this brewery can do no wrong.

SR4 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 had some sorta tart fruity ale on tap the other day, was like drinking alcoholic white grape juice...i liked it PS 90min is best. Haters gonna hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I admire DFH's quirkiness. They miss frequently, but at least they're trying to do something different. Plus, in saying fuck you to the Reinheitsgebot, they're taking a stand against creepy German ideas about purity, and we all know[THREAD GODWINNED].

Those laws came about to keep the price of bread/food low, not really out of any ideas about purity. There are tons of beers that don't follow reinheitsgebot, any fruit beers, spiced beers, etc. Nothing against DFH (only had one of their beers cause they don't distribute here) but they weren't the first.
