Re: Let's talk good beer
Sue - johns grocery in iowa city. dob 1-29-16. shipping bites at $23 plus so i got 3 4 packs and a 4 pack of surly furious to try and justify it. it was really really good. im trying to figure out what yeast and grain/barley they use. only draw back was no carbonation after the pour and i really need some life to a beer for me to put it as one of the best. i imagine that is do to shipping?
96/100 for me. comparison sake - pliny is 100/100, lunch is 92/100, sculpin 90/100, space cake 90/100 .. so for me, it is very high up there.
it was like a much much better and fuller bodied 51 rye. im surprised 51 rye hasnt blown up, im guessing it kinda too thin or something, but man, i miss that beer. just dont go to columbia/balt enough now a days.

BD - confirmed it was Ocelots talking backwards. i couldnt hear every word he said but it was through MoCo. the guy kinda screwed him on a keg so he brought him this as a secret make up. I highly recommend anyone local tries this. worth a trip to VA.
