QUOTE(Keener'92 @ May 10 2012, 10:14 AM)  Anybody planning on going? I went to the Friday session. I was disappointed that there weren't more U.S. craft brewers there. Only about half the exhibitors were in that category. 3 Floyds was a no-show.  The Ohio contingent was strong, though with a lot of solid brews. At the top of my list was Willoughby Brewing's Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter. Mind blown. -------------------- Bitter member of the venomous minority.

QUOTE(Keener'92 @ Apr 1 2012, 01:17 PM) I just wanted to take the time to give thanks to Akronnnnnnnn for inspiring me to try and cultivate a taste for stout. I have been trying as many as I come across in the singles section and when I have a broader base to report on, I will do so. I will say to anyone who has been turned off to stout because of Guinness...STOP!! I tried Guinness on numerous occasions at bars with friends and never got the taste and naively put all stouts in that basket. Thanks to some of the reviews on here about the style, I decided to branch out and I am happy. There is a lot more to the style than Guinness. haha glad I could be of assistance to you! and I agree with what you said ^^ Guinness is not a very good example of stouts honestly. QUOTE(Keener'92 @ May 4 2012, 09:57 PM) Although I hated to miss the spring game, I had a really nice beer trek while on vacation in Florida. This post clearly took a long time to complete. Thank you for it! I don't think I've heard of let alone had most of those beers! If I'm ever down south I'll look into those IPA's you listed. So I haven't posted in a while, but I have tried a few beers over the last few months. Nothing significant enough to mention though. --------------------   |

I stopped by Lizardville in Bedford Heights on Saturday. I saw on their website that they had 3 Floyds Gumballhead on tap, so since I was in the area, I had to stop. It was a terrible mistake. An error. A false post made on their website. THEY HAD NO SUCH BEER ON TAP! I was saddened, but continued to peruse the shelves of beer. I was trying a really different Coffee Stout from a Wisconsin Brewery called Hinterland when one of the bartenders came up behind me and set in front of me the last bottle of 3 Floyds Blackheart Seasonal English IPA. Needless to say, the bomber went home with me. I'm not a huge IPA fan, but this one was delicious. Very balanced for an IPA. Aged on toasted oak. I wish Akronnnnnnnn was here to try it with me!

I had 3 Floyds Gumballhead on tap at the Taphouse in Tremont. Taphouse always has a good rotation of beer, but the Greenhouse Tavern always has a 3 Floyds on tap.

I had 2 bottles of local IPA's this weekend. I had Fat Head's Head Hunter and Brew Kettle White Rajah. Although I am no hop head. I really liked White Rajah. Head Hunter was a bit extreme for me. (I know, I'm a wimp) Head Hunter is the only thing FH has put into 12 oz. bottles so far. I vote they do Bean Me Up next.
 I got an email from FH on Friday that they had 3 Floyds Apocalypse Cow and Arctic Panzer Wolf bombers available, so I was going to buy one of each to cellar until tailgate season to share with some of the lot 9 hop heads. No such luck. There were sold out within 2 hours of the email bomb.

Just got back from a long holiday weekend. Got to try some new brews at The Publick House.
Got to try the Belgian Double White. Worth picking up IMO. The Imperial Porter was just average. Stay clear of Secret Ale. The Abbot 12 was the winner for me. Awesome!  PS All these were on tap there. If your on the island, it's a nice place to stop, food was very good. If you see a bottle of Abbot 12 sold locally, let me know. -------------------- "One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings"--Diogenes of Sinope |

Finally stopped in to Thirsty Dog last Saturday. The "tasting room" is just a bar placed in the factory itself. They have a couple of tables set up and a few items for sale. There were some beers I hadn't seen before, like "Lock 3". Nothing special, just good beer. I did happen to see ZN.O's very own MaxZip while I was there!
One of the brewery employees came out an gave us all (about 20 people) an impromptu tour and some background on the building. Since TD has been in the building, they have expanded distribution to 14 states. They have gone from producing 5,000 barrels of beer up to 20,000 a year. At the peak of Burkhardt's popularity, they produced 100,000 barrels for Ohio and near the borders of the surrounding states. Burkhardt owned 100 bars that sold their products. Pretty neat history lesson. It's great Thirsty Dog has rehabbed the old brew house. If you are in the area with a little time to spare, it is a worthwhile visit. -------------------- Bitter member of the venomous minority.

Imagine finding Keener at a brewery...what are the chances. The tasting room is open Saturdays and you can get $8 growler fills on Thursdays. Stop by and taste the local brew. |
