        Very cool coolship, a method of brewing I don't think I had ever heard about before.

        Open coolships are standard for lambic breweries here… This way the bacteria get to do their part...

          I dream of coolships.  Heading over to Brussels area in the fall to learn what I can in person.  Man do I want to get one…

            That's what the guy was telling us, very common for breweries around your neck of the woods.
            Much easier there given the more temperate climate. Also they had this one built in place due to limited space.
            It was made with stainless steel for the support structure and lined with copper.

              PM me if you wanna meet up and have some drinks + pizza.

              Just spent the (first) afternoon moving my mate's stuff, which mainly consisted of beer, wine and liquor… A pleasure to help...

                  Hard to follow that sensational stash of seasonal glory ^^^^, but this is quite good, complex fruity pungent flavor

                    With the family in Colorado for the week. Local beer from the nearest liquor store.

                      Oh man, you're in the deep end!!  I've worked for Avery and Oskar Blues, knew the guys at Baere and Powder Keg Brewing, and frequented Upslope, Epic, Great Divide, Breckenridge, Crooked Stave, and Post.  But, holy hell there are a lot of breweries!  Good Luck.  If you need any advice on the best selections for a particular style that you like, lemme know!  Let that be the only Coors you drink all week!!  There is so much more….

                        Promise that will be my last Coors. What brewery's should I look for.  I like a lot of beer styles.  When I walked into the store last night the guy asked me what I like. They had mamma's little pils and I told him that was one of my favorites and he recommended the others, minus the Coors.  Oskar Blues has become a lot easier for me since they opened nc brewery. Love Avery as well.  Going beer shopping again tomorrow. Look forward to your suggestions

                          Drinking another bottle of Yellow Rose from Lone Pint Brewery tonight, and once again I'm reminded that this is one of the best IPA's I've ever drank.
                          Also Yellow Rose happens to be the name of a local strip club in Austin. 😉
                          And here's a photo of it in my new Jester King glass:

                            Mama's Pilz. :-\  Hey, it's all good, but why not go BIG?!!  In this case you need to buy the Avery "Lilliko'i Keppolo" immediately.  It's their White Rascal-ish recipe aged on Passion Fruit.  😘 😘  It's expensive-ish, but so is everything, it's worth it for the flavor.  It's better on tap, but the cans are SOLID.  You can find them pretty much everywhere

                            http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/avery-lilikoi-kepolo/125959/

                            This was the beer we drank on the line during the rushes, which was all day, this and the "UNCLE JACOB's STOUT" (But that's a horse of a different color).  If you are in Boulder, take Foothills Parkway northbound to Gunbarrel and look at their epic new brewery location, complete with the twin lakes and plenty of walking paths if you can make it out of the brewery!

                            Where are you staying, location wise?

                              And @Broark , this is on my must find/drink list!  And that glass is stellar.  Well played

                                @adam313 If you're still in Texas it should be somewhat easy to find, Lone Pint used to brew it once a year but it's gotten quite popular lately and they've moved it to year round production. If there's a beer I could keep 6 bombers of at a time it would probably be fresh Yellow Rose! Sadly I don't have the fridge space for that. 😛

                                  I am.  In Dallas proper.  I will scour the city tomorrow.  Pics to follow  😃

                                  Although if I could, I would keep Pliny the Younger in my Fridge, but we fucked that up the year we were able to buy growlers of it and it sold out in hours, literally.

                                    See I've had Pliny the Elder when I was out in SF, and honestly I thought it wasn't nearly as good as Supplication from Russian River. But Pliny the Younger is a different monster I'm sure.
                                    And really if I could keep a case of anything in the fridge it would be Atrial Rubicite aged in sherry barrels.
                                    But that's just crazy talk!

                                      And yes, triple IPA's on draft are  😢 😘

                                        Atrial is one of those ones that you'll have to make it out to Jester King to get (at least in previous years).
                                        Really most of their sours tend to get really hyped up, not always rightfully so, but most I've had are great.
                                        Sadly their production is still so small that a lot of the time if you're not lucky enough to make it to the brewery the weekend that the beer gets released you might miss it entirely. Kind of annoying as someone who works weekends at times, but when you do get to go out there it's always a great time.
                                        The one I'm still kicking myself for missing out on was Fen Tao.

                                            Fen Tao was very, very good.  I got super lucky on that one.
