Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

I dunno about availability, that's a main issue with craft beer/distro:

Southern Tier, New Holland Dragon's Milk S'mores variant, Nebraska Brewing Gimme S'more, Great Divide S'mores Yeti (although I don't think that is prime), Short's Smore's stout....
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

"Dessert" beers are a whole category that has a following. Obviously you've found the S'more variety. There is also takes on Ice Cream (Saugatuck Brewing Neopolitan Stout), Cookies (Southern Tier Brewing Thin Mints or Oatmeal Cookie), and of course Chocolate (4 Hands brewing out of STL seems to be pretty wide).

Be that adult kid Kep. It's awesome :D

That makes sense. As much as I like this style of beer, I never realized the official name of the sub-genre. I just used the term "Dessert Beer" and would give examples when chatting with people :o

I had no idea. Looking around they are everywhere!

On my list:

Hardywood Gingerbread Stout
Funky Buddha French Toast
Wicked Weed Milk & Cookies (includes cinnamon and raisins)
High Water Sugaree Maple Pecan Pie
Reuben’s Brews Hazelnut Praline (14% ABV holy sh-t)
High Water Campfire Stout
Voodoo Donut

I have had Southern Tier Creme Brulee Milk Stout. It's amazing but the place I had it it was $16 for a pint so I might as well be frugal and do a line of coke.

If you can get your hands on some Barrel Theory dessert stouts, do it. Might be best in category.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

Be on the lookout for Trader Joe’s Diamond Reserve. $20 bottle, first lot ever. Rumors of it coming from a winery that only sells $100 bottles. Most reviews put it between $40-$100.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

The Funky Buddha French Toast is solid.
EFF WICKED WEED. They sold out.
What DX said about Barrel Theory. EVERYTHING they do is solid.
Currently sipping on Fair State's Heckin' Chonker (Barrel Aged Pastry Stout w/Vanilla) it's awesome.
Forager (MN), also for Pastry/Dessert beers. They do have a national reputation, so prices are a bit high on the secondary market.

Southern Tier, overall, really nails it for the pastry/dessert beers.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

Last week Funky Buddha released a Maple Bacon Coffee Porter, which I enjoyed. It wasn't overrun by any of those flavors.

Yeah. It’s ****ing great.

I’m buying as much as I can tomorrow.

No offense, rube, sorry., but....

Ignore his advice about ignoring corporate sellouts. Find something to protest that actually might make a difference. Like the rampant racism at Founder’s.

If I could sell my company for a couple hundred million, I’d do it twice.

Ever since I found out about Founders' racism, I stopped buying their beer and unfollowed them on social media.

I am boycotting Founders. WW, their head brewer went to another brewery once the sale became official. I will buy from places where the buyer said "hands off, we just want money." See: Ballast Point.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

I definitely don't go through Founder's as quickly, but have fallen short of a full boycott so far. Here in Miami, I bought a six pack of a beer from Veza Sur, then found they are InBev. Didn't purchase more. Thought about stopping by the taproom, but didn't. Wynwood and Wakefield got my money instead.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

Random memory tonight: my Grandpa on my Mom's side loved Drewry's and we'd have it ready for him when he came over. These were huge boxes too, like 24-30 bottles in a case.

And from what I remember hearing, Drewry's didn't taste all that great.
 
Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind

Atwater Brewery has been sold to Molson Coors.

Hopefully, they leave my Vanilla Java Porter alone.
