Surprised there isn't one.

I'll get this started. I'm bored down at work and I have a 6-pack of fresh Zombie Dust. Come by and hang out with me today and drink a Zombie Dust! I'm here until 8. PM me for details.
 
Also. We need to get on MarkIntihar to reserve the clubhouse for the "End of summer bang".

Yup! I'm off for the next two days, but I'll be in this weekend. Let me know what you need and I can hold it for you.


I'll be up north till next week. Two bottles of that would be perfect. I'll shoot you a message when I know I have free time to swing by.
 
Ok you homies. Griffin claw has two new beers on. Sour apricot, and black currant "tart" saison. They good
 
Went to pig and whiskey last night and failed to see the Short's tent til when I was leaving. So if anyone's going there don't make the same mistake I did.

Where is the Shorts tent at? I'm headed over there tonight.
 
haha all the info is mine! actually just was busy at work. but its in the parking lot for loving touch/ WAB

i dont think they have anything too special on tap. They have Key Lime Pie and Cinnabilly. but a Huma would have been better than the Lagunitas IPAs I had.
 
By the time I rolled in they only had like 4 beers on. Also, the line was way long. I opted for the bourbon tent. Was not disappoint.

Also, thanks Michigan for the Geuze/wine hookup.

Anyone else try these two yet? I'm only a mile or two away but haven't been there in a good six weeks - once I realized they took their fantastic Berliner and decided to make it into a watered-down Oberon. Just god ****ing awful.

I KNEW the Berliner tasted gross to me. This was the first time I went this year and was upset about the quality of the BW compared to last years.

I have never been more disappointed in a beer. Seriously. It was so good last year that I looked forward to drinking it all summer and then got that piece of **** served to me. Ugh.

Yep. I was a strong advocate for putting 2013 Berliner into cans. I told everyone to go there and try it. Now....**** that.

And it will not be changed back to 2013 form as I have been told that 2013 was too sour. And, apparently, the 2014 version is how Dan Rogers always intended it. Seriously.

Ugh. It seriously tasted like drinking dishwater with the zest of 1sq mm of lemon.

The Apridisiac is quite sour at least.
 
Had both. Enjoyed both. The Undertow saison is not anywhere near a saison by style but it is a pretty delicious AWA.

Yes. The Berliner sucks this year.
 
Who is going to Shramms Saturday? I'm not doing brunch/lunch so I hope to be there at 5.
 
old fecker anyone tried their stuff? I'm hearing this jet is something pretty special....thoughts? comments?
 
Anyone know where I can get small bottles for whiskey samples in the area? I'd like to send a few samples of TB bourbon (thanks again Michigan) to my Pops and Brother in Philadelphia.

Since Bloomfield Hills is in between where I work and live, I volunteer to mouth jockey said whiskey to PA for others to consume.
 
I google street view your city looking for trees growing in houses. It's fun.

Royal Bones – The band’s live show teems with improvisational jams that weave one song into another, creating a unique live experience for the fans every time they play. With a multitude of covers from classic rock to modern rock, to blues, reggae, country, disco, soul, funk, and bluegrass, they always leave the crowd satisfied.

The Muggs – Detroit’s best known unsigned blues rock trio in the vein of Led Zeppelin. Channel 4 WDIV has awarded them Best Original Rock Band of 2013.

Joshua Davis Trio – Joshua Davis was raised in the folk tradition: the music, the social movements, the land. He writes songs that blend the roots of American music with gritty rock n’ roll and vintage soul. Performing Songwriter Magazine called the result, “Some of the liveliest and most rocking roots music around.

Sup guys- I'm on a cross country beer and golf roadtrip and I'm going to be in Metro Detroit this afternoon and tomorrow for the Witch's Hat anniversary party. I'm thinking about posting up at Kuhnhenn tonight, and would be down to meet up with anyone there. Would also be up to crack some bottles and drink somewhere else. Shoot me a message if interested. Cheers.
