Seeing how they wait until the end of the month to ship, probably not.
Tavour is great when you can swing by the warehouse in South Seattle to pick up whenever.
Oh didn't know that, thought it would be shipped as soon as possible

Maybe they changed their policy, but they used to wait until the end of the month and lump all orders together to save on shipping.

Huh. I haven't used Tavour in a long time but they used to be cool about scheduling pick up for the next day.

So, no alcohol for the next week or so for me. Pulled something in my back last night, now I am on muscle relaxers and steroids for a week.
On the bright side, I will lose some weight during this.

Grabbed this along with Funky Buddha's MBCP and their new yearly release Pineapple Beach Blonde Ale.
Nice to see Clown Shoes started distributing to South FL (not sure if it's all over the state), I think they put out some good big beers for an affordable price, the barrel aged beers I have seen at Total Wine is $14.

Cool artwork, but that bottle commits one of my biggest language pet peeves; there is no fucking "ñ" in "habanero." It's as bad as people who say "chi-pol-tee." Spanish is not that difficult; stop it.

I've bought Bible Belt in Seattle before. I'm sure we'll get it.

My local bottle place here in Corvallis got it last week, so it must be up there somewhere.
Prairie seems to have really upped its distribution game across the Pacific Northwest in the last six months.
thanks @distantmantra
I don't think it's here quite yet but I'll be going out tonight either way so we'll see.
It varies when we get stuff; I'll notice people discussing a beer in this thread that I can't find up here for weeks.

It looks like there is one to me; the photo res makes it hard to make it out clearly, but there's definitely a squiggle above the n. On a sidenote, I had no idea that Spanish uses the umlaut in words (pingüina).
Linguistics aside, I can't say I've ever liked the Clown Shoes beers I've tried.
I think he's saying the accent mark shouldn't be there, but google/wiki disagree:

Oregon got their shipment last week. That's where my can came from. My parents were down in Eugene and got some, then stopped in Portland and got some more.

Seen lots of Hopslam on tap here in DC this week. I can only dream of seeing it available in the Pacific Northwest.

Oregon gets Bells now.
Haven't had Hopslam since 2012. Kinda boring now. Not a bad beer but man all the hype back then and now it's just a malty boozy DIPA with some honey.

Other way around. The ñ is used in spelling "jalapeño," which is why it is pronounced "hah la pen yo." The ñ should NOT be used in spelling "habanero" which is pronounced "ah bah nehr oh," not "hah bahn yer oh." I get much more upset about this than I should (hence pet peeve) but linguistic ignorance is utterly infuriating to me, and since the default "n" in the English language is both easier to do AND correct for the word "habanero" it means that people are going out of their way to be wrong. But I will give them credit for using the umlaut in pingüina, which I didn't even realize was supposed to be there. I appreciate any word with an umlaut, frankly. If they had spelled habanero with umlauts instead of an "ñ" I would have no complaints.

I love spicy food, but really can't handle beers brewed with peppers. I prefer to put hot sauce on my food, not drink it.
theSlacker
Member
I'm a wuss when it comes to hot food but I've still enjoyed a lot of the beers with pepper that I've tried. Only a few really hot ones have been bad to me.
My favorite part was actually the honey, more IPAs should do that.
I was responding to something riotous edited out, lol.

The new Structures IPA "The Long Dark" uses Nelson Sauvin with honey made from coffee blossoms. It's really nice.
Just had my first experience with coffee flavored beer and I loved it. I had the kona and funky Buddha versions.
Also tried that new kona beer with the guava and oranges. The fruits make it one of the easiest to drink.
Then had some IPA from a local brewery called swampheads. Need to try more flavors before I judge on them

There's much more real things to be upset about in Trump's America...

Waiting anxiously for tomorrow, when I'm going to a craft beer festival!
There are not very many breweries attending, but that's OK, I'd rather drink few good ones than many bad ones.

Was the VE the 02.02.02 re-release or the 2017 variant? I was pretty disappointed with the 02. My store still has a ton of it, so it seems most people felt that way.
yes, theyll probably be flat tho, definitely not condensation

Buddy of mine is having a weekend out on the Oregon coast. Grabbed me some Matryoshka with cocoa nibs bottles at Ft. George, then went to de Garde and got me some The Lily, Special Rouge Reserve and a SARA/deGarde/Jester King collab glass.
Went to this local liquor store this morning and they happened to have a bottle of Prairie Pirate Noir, Barrel Aged Bomb, Noir and Vanilla Noir. Grabbed the Pirate and Vanilla. They charge more since it's mom and pop but it's nice to have a place I can fall back on for harder to find stuff when the big chains sell out fast.

Ruse was great. Make new friends in line every time I go. Was surprised there was so many people in line before I got there and then that so few after me though. Hardywood has been good about limits and stock numbers recently so I guess people know they don't have to wait in line, even if it can be fun.

That's the 02.02.02 re-release? I'd agree, completely mediocre.
I just tried Stone Xocoveza, myself. What a fucking trip. I loved it.

I never had the 02.02.02 release originally, but the Vertical Epics were always meant to be cellared.

Speaking of Stone, I've been trying the Enjoy By 02.14.17 of their Chocolate & Coffee IPA...it's alright but it's no Mocha IPA.
Also bought my 2nd 6-pack of Bell's Hopslam. It's probably my favorite IPA of all time...and I'm not a big fan of IPA.
