    Does anyone know some good youtube channels for beer?

    You can't buy beer from youtube channels!

    That hasn't stopped me from trying

    Picked up Rick and Robbie's Sprocket Bier from Stone.

    It's a 5.4 Black Eye Kolsch.

    Taking the first sip now...


    Holy fuck that's delicious.

    Wellp since no one has a favorite Beer channel, I decided to launch my own.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n7Qpw3wJDg

    Nothing aside from this teaser video, but soon I'll have reviews, interviews, the works.

    You guys.

    It turns out 10% + bourbon barrel beers get you the best kind of drunk.

    I know, because I did science. Drinking science.

    Damn, that's look great. No beer in the house too... I'm jealous.

    Lot of options for today since I hit the beer store over the weekend. Got a Czech pils from Full Sail, a German pils from Ninkasi, an 'India Wheat' from Ecliptic, a Session IPA from Schooner Exact, a CDA/Black IPA from 10 Barrel, a second bottle of Black Butte XXVI from Deschutes, and a new IIPA from Coronado Brewing.

    But I'm leaving that all alone and will crack into a growler of (GABF silver medal winning) Urban Farmhouse from The Commons. It's a bit hot today and a post-work pint of that with a book out back in the shade will be pretty nice.

    I might see if some of my friends down in Austin will get me one of these, just for giggles. I haven't had their beer before but they have and they said it's good so I'm interested

    I've been working my way through the DeSchutes catalog. Their summer seasonal was pretty 'meh' but the Chainbreaker white IPA is the business.

    I also found a 4 of Surly Bitter Brewer at a coffee/beer shop. It was surprisingly not that bitter, but a nice, easy drink.

    Getting one of these 99 packs may be more difficult than I anticipated, as far as I can tell they didn't announce the first location online and it sold.

    They're probably hard to miss at a store.

    Spent my lunch hour trying to chase a 99 pack down. Seems Whole Foods and Central Markets may have presold the one they were allotted.

    Chainbreaker is a strong recommendation for a post-lawnmowing/gazing-on-the-fruit-of-your-labor beer. I keep some in the garage fridge for just such an occasion.

    What's the ruling on Lawnmowing beers? My wife says I'm just looking for an excuse to get daydrunk. I say I'm trying to take the pain out of mowing the yard in Central Florida.

    No matter what beer you drink, if you're mowing a lawn in Florida, it will suck.

    Mowing the lawn is adequate punishment to deserve a beer reward. Finish at 9am? Hey, you start the day early, you get to start the drinking early too.

    Black Butte XXVI is wonderful this year. "Wow" doesn't begin to cover it.

    I bought two bottles and the other one is in the Cabinet of Perpetual Darkness under the Basement Stairs. I feel confident that stuff is going to be amazing a year from now.

    Man, a liquor "super store" opened up in a city 40 minutes from my house. It has everything I could imagine as far a hard liquor, and their beer selection is pretty top notch. They have all of the bigger Midwest breweries covered, plus some small local ones, and then all of the major names from around the US. They also have a good selection of foreign beer. They also have Beer Advocate ratings on any beer with a score of 90 or above.

    I picked up a bomber of Unibroue Ephemere Apple, and bottles of Brother Thelonius, Left Hand Nitro milk stout, Boulevard Brewery Quadruple, a local blueberry ale from a brewery in La Porte, IN, New Belgium's trippel, and another abbey ale I can't remember the name of.

    The city it's in has a large mall that I visit semi-frequenly. Just about the right time to refill the beer fridge.

    Edit: dang, even for phone posting that was a lot of typos.

    So I don't often have access to mid-west beers here in SoCal, recently Bells has begun to show up and many of their offerings have been pretty tasty, also I was gifted some New Glarus Serendipty, and it was definitely among the best fruit beer that I have had the pleasure of sipping.

    If you realltly enjoyed it check out the four pack of 12 oz. 'I Love You With My Stout' which is also by Evil Twin, it is the exact same recipe as Even More Jesus, but by volume about half the price. Why? I don't know exactly, but I imagine that contracting as a gypsie brewer can end up being a bit convoluted.

    I'm of the opinion that Bell's is the best brewery in Michigan, but Great Lakes edges them out for best in the Mid-West. I haven't gotten to really try stuff from New Glarus though, and I've only heard good things.
