Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

this stuff is Really Good, but I have only been able to find it ONE time and I live in the same area where its brewed!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10656[/ATTACH]

This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained

I didn't find the white oak version, just the pale ale... tastes a whole lot like Sierra Nevada to me. But not as strong, which I actually enjoyed more. A great beer, for just drinking 1, or 2.

thanks Fla, total wine is the where I found it that one time, every time i go now they act like they cant get it anymore, they say Cigar is expanding there areas so there low supply of it, plus its seasonal....

Was picking up a milkshake from B&B Junction, a restaurant nearby, and I saw the Jai Lai Indian Pale Ale there so I bought a can (for $5). Hope it's good .

That's f*cking interesting, are you serious? Liquor wasn't allowed in seattle? What's a state run liquor store? I don't drink liquor, but wow.

You could buy liquor there, but up until last year you could only buy it from basically liquor only stores, and those were run by the state. I remember only seeing one in downtown Seattle near where I worked. But the law finally got changed last year.

I've had hopslam before. Bell's is from Michigan which is close to me, so it is available here and there.

^Try reposting Chuck, can't view that.

Regarding the Indian Pale Ale, try calling Total Wine in Clearwater, says limited inventory can to call first. I'm going to look for it here at the Orlando location.

No liquor available anywhere except for a few state run liquor stores (this just changed after years of battling right before I moved).

Yes. It is totally stupid. But there are goods/bads it seems in every place I've lived.

Seattle:

Cold beer in the grocery.
No liquor available anywhere except for a few state run liquor stores (this just changed after years of battling right before I moved).
Bars only open until 2am.
Can buy booze on Sundays.

Indiana:

Warm beer and liquor in the grocery.
Liquor stores have beer/hard liquor in the same place.
Bars open until 3am every day. (Used to close at midnight on Sundays, but this got changed just before the Super Bowl was here).
No booze sales on Sundays, but the bars are open like normal and you can drink as much as you want (wtf), and can get growlers as carry out from craft brewers.

^Hey Rezz, you live in Indiana right? Who knew Indiana was so strict on all alcohol sales! Seattle must have been a nice change eh?

Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf - It's getting hard to distinguish three floyds IIPAs apart from each other, this could have easily been Dreadnaught and I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart, or maybe I just don't drink enough Three Floyds as it's not readily available in my area, have to pick it up on work travel.

The restaurant down the street from me got a keg of this last week. First time I've had it. Pretty good stuff.

It's funny to think that in 20 years or perhaps more 10 years, this thread will be about strands of weed .
