[over the mountain]

BD - nice find. i kinda burned a bridge with DTC last night. this one girl bartender just sucks at filling a growler. she just lets it volcano and never uses a tube. i finally had to say something. as i watch the foam spewing out of the top, i ask her if she can not do that bc it oxidizes the beer to shit. she gives me a FU look and asks if i want it filled again. i say no.

i feel like an asshole.

but at the same time, if you work at a craft beer store pouring expensive beer ... maybe you should learn how and the reason why to do it the right way. use the tube, fill till it starts to foam up. stop go pour a pint for another customer, come back fill some more. done.

anyway, DTC said they have a very special Imperial IPA they are tapping today, a guy i know pretty well wouldnt tell me, i asked if its hopslam and he said it is way better but he wouldnt tell me.
---------------------

called DTC, figured they would tell me the name of this secret imperial once they tapped it .. they said they couldnt tell me the name bc the brewer made them promise not to so the brewer wouldnt get in trouble with other beer stores ... basically, you try it and if you like it, get a growler fill .... this is odd. i left my growlers at home.
