they don't have a "drink by". it's a bottled date. the problem you run into a lot with the 750s is that they've sat there awhile. I've had some pretty poor ones that were good beers. anything over a year and you are probably wasting your money.

Had a NB Shift a couple nights ago.  Decent but not what I expected.  Also, I was reading an article on wet hopped beers but I have never had one myself.  Thoughts?

Didn't think so, I had never seen one...but I thought maybe there was a chance   :dunno:

Currently enjoying:


Underrated beer, imo.  Pretty tasty.

Pilsner style?

And SD I could also get a 4-pack.  They seem to be newer, just a little bit more expensive.

I believe it's just a lager, but it doesn't say on the bottle, so I'm really not sure    :runaway:

guy in the liquor store kind of freaked me out yesterday.  told me to mix these two:



said it doesn't float at all.  just mixes right away.  I was all wtf? and he said the brewers actually recommend it.  said he tried it and it was the best beer he'd ever had.  I'm still  :dubious: but I'll probably give it a shot this weekend.

forgot to give my review.

rough ridin' beastly mix.  the yeti is 75 ibu's and the hercules is 85 ibu's.  they combine into a flavorful hoppy explosion.  I'm not the biggest fan of really hoppy beers, so I won't be drinking them again, but I can appreciate that people that like hops would probably like this mix.  not for the faint of heart.

I did have the hades belgian ale from great divide yesterday and it was pretty good.

Pleasantly surprised by Blue Moon's Apple Cider Ale. It was not nearly as sweet as I thought it'd be, but still could probably only do 1 or 2 without needing to switch to something less rich.

Rogue Maple Bacon Ale was not good. Not good at all.  Thankfully I got to try it without spending $12 on it.

It sounds pretty gross.  Everyone is so quick to just throw bacon in anything these days...

Yeah, Rogue does some pretty weird crap, but usually pretty good.  This one was horrible.
