      Also when I was at the brewery today I saw an Italian brewery called Le Baladin.
      My interested was piqued when I saw the Beeradvocate rankings for Lune and Terre which Jester King had for sale.
      Then immediately I saw the price tag: $42 dollars!!!
      Am I crazy for thinking that this is an insane price for beer? Or is it really that good?

        In my experience, Ranger Creek does a good job of taking ingredients that sound like they'd be terrible together and turning the mess into quality beer.  I'll try basically anything they put out.

        And $42 is really high, imo.  I've had really fantastic beer for a lot less.  That better be mind blowing.

          I agree on Ranger Creek, I don't think I've had an outright bad beer from them.

          That was my thinking too, I scoff at what Cascade goes for down here (28 bucks a bottle…) and I thought it was a typo at 42 dollars for 50 cl of barley wine...

            I went to a beer tasting while on vacation and the couple next to me bought a bottle of Utopias. $330!

              $330 bucks is a bit rich for my blood. Would really take some kind of event for me to buy that!

              Here's what I drank tonight.
              First up was Adelbert's Barrel Aged Trifecta 2016 edition. A blend of three of their beers: gin barrel aged saison, another barrel fermented saison and a spontaneously fermented barrel aged wit. I'd love to find a bottle of this…

              Then after I got home I decided to open one of the Wicked Weed / Jester King Parking Lots. Great beer, slightly funky and somewhat sour. I might be going out to the brewery again tomorrow to get some more of these!

                    Recent ones from me too.
                    Jester King and Green Bench Brewing Beachtimez Sportzketball.
                    Grisette inspired farmhouse ale refermented with loquats. Ideal summer beer for me.

                    Live Oak Big Bark.
                    Always good, had to try out the canned version. Hoping Live Oak continues to can more of their beers.

                    Goose Island Juliette.
                    Really impressed with this, tart and sour without being too sweet. I'll have to try the other variants.

                        I think the Juliet was around 18-20 dollars, but I took advantage of the Central Market beer week and got it last night along with a sixer of Big Bark. Came out to 27 dollars in total!

                          Drinking this tonight, a bit mediocre. Nothing special…

                            Thank you, Crooked Stave, for this superb 12% OA blueberry sour.

                              ^ looks and sounds ace!

                              This was so hilariously bad. Everything that's wrong with a lot of newer  ipa/dipa. Over hopped, dry hopped, wet hopped, and 1293 different types of hop does not make for a "hop explosion" it makes for a nasty hop smell in your sink after you ditch the stuff for tasting shite.

                                A better IPA. Solid offering from a new Norwegian brewery. I'd buy it again.

                                  I've been off IPA's for a while but some decent ones from Garage Project turned me on to the hops again.

                                  Seriously tempting fate with the 3rd one but whaddya know, it's the winner. Neither crisp, nor dry; but dirty, sweet, resinous and citrusy. Different in a good way.

                                    So turns out that this was absolutely delicious.
                                    The vanilla and coconut were very subdued, and it just makes sense with the strawberries.
                                    Might grab another bottle.

                                      Finishing off with a Brazilian Porter for the Welsh game. Hoping a bit of S. American magic rubs off on Bale and the boys.

                                        2 in the afternoon and I opened one of these in support of the Belgian team.
                                        Hops and Grain continues to can some really good beer. This one is a fresh kölsch.

                                          Two quite unique IPAs. The ReDANKulous is…well...dank. Musky citrus with a bit of malt. The Tasmanian is far more bright. Citrus and slightly floral.. quite crisp

                                            Hope that Redankulous makes it out to Norway some day. We get some Founders stuff, but I get the impression it's standard fare.
