last weekend enjoyed a Green Flash Barleywind
'tis barleywine season!
I had a pint of the Green Flash and quite liked it. This season's Bigfoot fron Sierra Nevada is out too and always worth a pint. I thought the offering from Uinta was very worthy as well.

Time to get this thread back in view, and what better way than with one of the best IPAs I've ever tasted. And it's totally climbing related, because it comes from Avery brewing -- which is owned by a climber.
Get it while you can, because it's a one-time brew.

There's quality versus quantity. The empties after a few days of steelhead fishing.

Man, each of those cans in the picture is bigger than your tent! Steel head? If I drank even one of those giant beers I'd be cement head, not steel head.

Fritzi, were all those yer relatives? Impressive!
How many trips to the ER resulted from that video?
The absolute dumbassed one was the upside down circular saw - my bunghole
cinched up instantly seeing that!
But worst of all was the beer wasted in many of those!
HEINOUS CRIME AGAINST BEERMANITY!

Definitely not the best beer ever. Or even close to the best beer ever. But a fun commercial

Well, Ghost, they'd better ramp things up a tad cause that rig ain't gonna
supply the galaxy. No wonder I've not heard of them. But I'll take yer word for it.

Definitely a small brewery, but what they produce is off-the-charts good. They're across Puget Sound in Poulsbo, but their beers are not too hard to find in Seattle.

Straight from Stowe VT. I've had it at the brewery, but saw it in sixers at the grocery store today. Nice.

It's not this one
I love the Stone Imperial Stout. It's wonderful just like their other beers. But the espresso version tastes almost exactly like a chocloate espresso clif bar. It's the first time in many years that I poured a beer down the sink.

A couple of climber beers to give a shout-out for.
First one is a tiny brewery in Yakima, WA. We were crag hunting in the area a few weeks ago and discovered an IPA from the Bale Breaker brewery on tap in a local pub. We tried it with pretty low expectations, but it was really, really good. So if you're climbing at any of the crags along or near to the Tieton River, look for Topcutter IPA from Bale Breaker. They make both the IPA and one other beer available for retail sale, but only in the local market. Can't even get it in Seattle.
And then, there's the good stuff. Doesn't have a name. Even the brewery doesn't have a name, other than "my basement."

Ghost, your pride is understandable but have you wondered about that van
parked down the street the last few days?

Ghost; thanks for the pointer to Sound Brewery. I'll try a couple if I can find them. I'm partial to porters or English style ales myself. Too much of a hop taste makes me crabby!
Apropos Yakima's Bale Breaker brewery: Burt Grant's brewery, also in Yakima, was super cool and sometimes given credit for starting the micro brew revolution in the PNW and forwarding it across the States. I don't like having a beer after a climb when I have to drive anymore, but back in the 90's, that was a big draw to climbing along the Tieton River. I think Grant's has been out of business for at least 5 years.

The van?
Yeah, it's been there for a few days, a bit north of here, in front of the big antenna. But I thought it was the Cat Detector Van. They've been sending me emails about pet licenses, you know. Along with bloody bullshit about fines if they find unlicensed pets. But I wasn't too worried, because the coyotes ate the cat over a year ago.
Good luck to them, I thought. Sit out there for the next bloody year if you want. My cat's f*#king dead, and I've checked the municipal pet laws, and it's bloody clear that only live pets are required to be licensed. So knock on my door whenever you want, and I'll tell you where to stick your bloody pet license.
But you're saying it might be the Beer Detector Van?
F*#k.
This could be serious.
