Bring back some Boulevard Wheat from there. Does Three Floyds sell in Indy?

Never tried the heavy seas, I've tried two of their beers (one was Plank 1) and wasn't impressed. Might have to rethink them and give that one a shot. I really enjoy black IPAs.

I've never been there before. And will look around for those two brews. If I find some I will pick some up for you. I was in Monroeville today, I can easily drop them off.

I'm good, I need to drink down my stock and make it to Indy once a year. Thank you for the offer though.

If you haven't had their IPA Loose Cannon I would pick it up; awesome beer.

No beer tonight. Just a gin & tonic and a Gurkha Ancient Reserve.

I really like that, Heavy Seas Siren Noire Imperial Chocolate Stout.

Very, very chocolaty.

Dying to try Dogfish 90. Found a place down the street that sells it, just waiting for this weekend to get here. Love their 60, don't have a clue where to find their 120.

Anyone have any experience with their Raison D'etre or their seasonals?

Love me a G&T. My girl's family have friends that work for a distributor of Hendrick's. That stuff is delicious.

Their Punkin' Ale is on point. The 90 Minute is fantastic. 120 is hard to find in my neck of the woods.

I only get RAison D'etre if I feel like having beer with a steak. It pairs pretty well with it and it should, that's actually why they made that beer.

I'll list the ones of theirs I've had and if you want to know about particular ones I'll tell you what I thought:
60 Minute
90 Minute
Burton Baton
Indian Brown Ale
Midas Touch
Palo Santo Marron
Raison D'etre
75 Minute IPA
Black and Blue
Hellhound on My Ale
My Antonia
Aprihop
Chicory Stout
Punkin Ale
Sah'tea
Festina Peche
Saison du BUFF
Life and Limb

Good lord, I think I have a problem. But I don't want to fix it.

Love the 60-90 IPAs, but:
Palo Santo Marron-Burnt wood

Hellhound on My Ale - Too much lemon.

Festina Peche - non remarkable.

Good to know about the RDA. Skipped it just because I've never heard anyone say anything about it. Any of them worth buying over a 60/90? I'm just a sucker for the Dogfish/Stone/Smutty IPAs at the moment, but willing to try something new.

I probably buy Indian Brown Ale more than any of their others. I really like it. Actually have a clone of that about two weeks away from being drinkable right now.

As for the Hellhound I agree it is quite lemony though I had read that before hand so I was kind of craving the amount of lemon. Palo Santo I don't think the wood is all that overbearing.

I usually try to pick up one or two of their bombers whenever I see them especially if it's one I haven't had before.

I concur Sir. Sounds like we have the same taste in beers or similar palates.

Tonight is an AleSmith Speedway Stout night. The Wife and I have both been craving it ever since we 'friged' it Sunday night. It's readying awesome.

As for the 120 Minute, good luck finding it. I asked once at the Party Source and they sold out the same day it arrived and within hours. I've been lucky enough to have a bottle once. Very different. Like the difference between the 60 and the 90, well same difference in the 90 to the 120...if that makes sense.

You receive zero points because you left out the unit of measurement.

The correct answer is "30 minutes".

Hehe. See post #2735. I won't put out an ABP, already been posted. Well maybe later when I get to a PC as it's not fun to do all that stuff from The Wife's IPad. But it does explain a lot and is a nice article. Found it from Twitter earlier tonight and posted it.
