Beer

[eaterfan]

The Yard House has started getting a lot better beers since being taken over by Olive Garden. They still aren't as good as a lot of great beer bars but they are improving.

[St1ck]

They had 120 minute on tap at Yard House of all places a few months ago.

 

 

 

Wonder if you could actually get it in the yard glass. 

[Aaronkv]

I've always had some good beers when I go to Yard house. At least the one at LA Live. Happy hour is pretty good too.

[Brandon]

Should have had an Or Xata but glad you made it over there to have the habanero

Yeah, I had to tap out. Between the three heavy hitters, Firestone, and two there at The Breury I was on a good one. Thought that Or Xata might put me over. Jason and I thought about it, but realized neither of us like horchata.

I really liked the habanero sour. It hits you right away as a solid sour but finishes with a tangy kick that has a lot of bite.

We were done, but on principal had to drink Mrs. Stoutfire just for the lolz.

[Tank]

I've had so many rare beers that aren't disttributed here. And I still can't give up on my Bud Clamato. I want it so bad.

Huh, isn't that interesting.

[Aaronkv]

It has to be the light version though.

[Hot Damn!]

Wonder if you could actually get it in the yard glass.

It was "shorty" only.

[James]

Selling a yard of 120 would be highly irresponsible and a lawsuit in the waits. 

[Brandon]

Sounds like something we would do at Baldwin's then walk over to get pizza at The Luggage Room.

[James]

Exactly Brandon. Like I said, highly irresponsible. Duvel Green all morning long, ah the good ol days. 

[REDemption]

I had Drake's Denogginizer last week. It was good and the first I've had from them. I want to try more. I also want to have a pint of that Or Xata I keep seeing on here.

[epicbeergirl]

I've had so many rare beers that aren't disttributed here. And I still have yet to try 120 minute, it's been so elusive. I want it so bad.

 

Regular at my bf's work brought him a bottle of 120, he was able to get a case of it in Nevada.  It's only brewed couple times of year but, this time of year year it usually starts becoming available.  

[epicbeergirl]

Selling a yard of 120 would be highly irresponsible and a lawsuit in the waits. 

 

Hahaha I don't think they'd do that, they've had Sam Adams Utopias available at Yard House before, only a small pour.

Spencer - dig the Hajduk Split logo!

I was wearing my jersey two days ago. Man I love Split.

Sweet!

I rock my national team jersey all the time.

I've also got a scarf that says HAJDUK and TORCIDA on either side in huge block letters (f'n love that thing!) but never have the occasion to wear it.

When I do, I secretly hope to run into some Dinamo fans so I can mock them.

Hajduk Živi Vječno!

Now back to beer:

Almanac Beer Co. - Farmers Reserve #3

Sour ale, aged in wine barrels with strawberries and nectarines

Soinds SUPER gay, but is friggin awesome, and everyone knows that real men drink sour beers

[Aaronkv]

Almanac is killing it with their sours. I've enjoyed every Farmers Reserve #1-4. Wasn't able to get multiples of 1 and 4 but have a 2 and 3 hidden away for while to try in a year.

 

They just released a new sour; Dogpatch Sour and it too is fantastic. Highly recommend, if you can find it. Their stuff is starting to sell fast, people are finding out about this great newer brewery.

[Aaronkv]

All the Winter/Pumpkin beers are starting to show up. Almanac is doing a Heirloom Pumpkin Barleywine. Looking forward to that too.

 

"This is a beer made with real pumpkins. We hand-roasted over 500lbs of heirloom pumpkins from La Tercera Farms in Bodega Bay. The caramelized gourds were then added to our velvety American Barleywine and aged in brandy barrels for a year. Finally, we blended the barrel-aged beer with freshly brewed ale and added a delicate hint of pumpkin pie spices to round out this decadent autumn sipper."

[James]

Almanac is good stuff for sure. 

 

 

Good time last night at Slaters. As always, it was good to see Scott, Jason and Brandon. Thanks for coming out and supporting The Dudes. 

[Brandon]

Good God.

Rump Shaker.

[Hot Damn!]

Dang totally forgot about that last night!

[James]

Good God.

Rump Shaker.

Who would have known it was that difficult to karaoke.
