To celebrate today, I'm brewing a 100% centennial hops based IPA.

I decided that rather than reaching out to you guys, I'm gonna ask you to PM me (I've been really busy lately and its not getting better soon)
I'll be at the CSA meeting tomorrow night.

No luck needed. Already home. I've never ever drove through Conneticut without hitting traffic. Made it from the Alchemist home in 5 hours. And that's with rush hour around NYC. Somehow there was no traffic  .

I had a heady topper last night after meeting up with Scratch.... Honestly, I dont think that this beer is as good as everyone hypes it up to be. I think the biggest thing this beer has going for it is the fact that its brewed in a 7 barrel set up and they dont make that much of it, so if you can get it, you have made a major score. I found that it is over hopped to the point that it is in a class all by its own.. perhaps it should really be called a triple IPA??
I had a firestone Walker 'Union Jack IPA' tonight with dinner.. I think that beer blows the Heady Topper out of the water...
That being said, I am psyched i got to try the Heady. Scratch that one off the list.....  |

After dinking several in a row tonight...*hic*...I think the cool thing about this beer is that Benthic habitats have features that make them acoustically distinct. A benthic habitat will respond to sound waves differently depending on surface hardness and complexity, and these responses, or backscatter intensities, can be used to identify habitat boundaries.
Sorry....
This beer is a really big session beer. It's not supposed to be that killer Imperial IPA that's so over the top. It's a beer you can drink a number of. In that respect it is a bit unique...

The Union Jack IPA is world class and not that hard to get.
My favorite true double IPA is Ghandi Bot. It's sick...
My concern with small volume batches is it's harder to maintain quality. It's great one time then 6 months later not so good.

Nebe,did you drink it from the can as instructed?
I don't get that.
You should brew a saison,they are great when done right.

I bottled up 5 gallons of saison last weekend 
Yes, I did drink it from the can. They want you to do that for 2 reasons.. Firstly, they do t want you to see any hops residue floating around..( I have no issue with that). But secondly the beauty of the can is that as the beer is opened and the co2 is released from suspension of the beer, it keeps the oxygen out. Oxygen will effect the flavor of your beer if you take a while to drink it.

No problem, it was good to meet you again. The hug was a nice touch but not really necessary

Had some! Thanks Ian! Although not as "recommended" (within 3 weeks or so and from the can) I thought it was quite good.

Just a heads up. According to The Alchemist's FB page, production of Heady Topper will be doubled as of some time next week. Happy hunting, kids  .
