Nope good sipping rum like Flor De Cana and Zacapa. Men's rum. No pussy shit. And the terrorist and rowboat have me swilling Whiskey on the reg now. Just bought some Blue Label. I had to steal the money for it.TurdBomber said:

Please don't tell me it's spiced rum, or I'll be finished off. -

That's what I love about the industry. So saturated there are always quality options worth your money, pretty much wherever you go.1to392831weretaken said:Today's further evidence that we've reached Peak Beer° and therefore the debate is pointless:
So I was on my way to Home Depot (it was lovely), and I decided I was a little thirsty. And my wallet was a little thick, causing lower back pain from leaning, so I decided I'd splurge and head to Structures:Imperial Stout
Blend of both old and young Stout from
Buffalo Trace Barrels
Conditioned on Vanilla, Coconut and a touch of Nutmeg
Alcohol by Volume: 11.4%A Gooey version of non-barrel aged Feral Bones
Conditioned on Peanut Butter and Cacao
Alcohol by Volume: 12.4%
Both fucking amazing. Are there breweries in Oregon (or California or Colorado or New York or Missouri...) that can and do something similarly unique and awesome? Of course, and I've had plenty of it. It's kind of splitting hairs to say any are better than another when the high end good stuff is almost always limited release. What's my favorite brewery? Depends on what's on tap/in bottles when I walk in, I guess, and that changes frequently. There are definitely breweries that can do no wrong, and I've listed a couple. If we're just talking about which state has the most of these, I guess that's worth debating. I sure didn't care about such debates by the time I was about six ounces in last night...
PS: Which one of you fucks was sitting outside of Structures yesterday evening, black hat with purple dub on it, taking a picture of his hazy IPA like a knob?
IPA's have become annoying. I get it. I love hazy's and farmhouse ales, and pilsners.
Maybe a lot of it is hipster and gaye, but we all love butt slamming each other anyways, so whatever. -
Flor De Cana is the SHIT! My buddy with a CentroAmericano wife turned me onto it.Swaye said:

And yes @TurdBomber Flor De Cana is the SHIT. @Dennis_DeYoung (RIP) of all people turned me on to it some years ago. It's my go-to for cheap silver rum. -

I feel like it didn't have to be this way with IPA's but the hop wars just got out of hand.haie said:

What do you like @haie for farmhouse ales out of the PNW? -

I feel like the farmhouse stuff was a trend in 2015-16 when I was living in east Portland, but it's hard for me to find them in SW WA and N Oregon now. Laurelhurst (I think?) off Sandy was where I was drinking a lot of those.YellowSnow said:

2016. Good year for a lot of stuff. Feels like a decade ago now.
I might enter my craft beer making stage and try brewing some myself. -
OregonSome of the best farmhouse beers you will find come out of Oregon from de Garde Brewing. Top-shelf stuff, lots of wild fermented beers.

I can recall going to Cascade Barrell House in PDX with my HS History teacher like 7 or 8 years and they had some great sours. Don't recall on the farm house thing.haie said:

they give me shit for wearing UW gear every time. My favorite beer is from there as well -
Was going to suggest de Garde as well. There's a new brewery out of Skagit County that's nothing but saisons, farmhouse, sours. Garden Path Fermentation Project. I tried one, and it's pretty good stuff. Other than that, all I can say is that it better be pretty fucking good for what they charge for the stuff.BleachedAnusDawg said:Some of the best farmhouse beers you will find come out of Oregon from de Garde Brewing.
