throet Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Picked up a sixer of these at Randalls today. Really light and refreshing with a more subtle Saison profile than what I'm accustomed to. Malty goodness with just enough spice / fruit. Ice cold works best for me, especially this time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Drinking in Chicago. Nice brewery in the suburbs with a great outdoor space: Good local microbrews: Brought back a case from my favorite local up there, a sampler pack of all IPAs: My 16-year-old self really remembers this crap: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Love their beer. Brewery was always a stop and the Brakeroom is right up the street on Galisteo so I will be sure to make serveral rides over there in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXZJ Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Made it to Telluride, and local brewery has the absolute best Belgian Tripel I've ever tasted. Their quad and blonde are really good too. Edited July 11, 2022 by ATXZJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Be honest. I know your vacation environment skews your perspective, but does that hold up to Real Ale's Devil's Backbone? My perspective might be skewed also because I'm just finishing my second of the evening. And that's all it takes! (8.1) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's all it takes! (8.1) I'm a total fan of DB, it's hard to beat particularly for the money. Their Sisyphus is great too. Of all the tripels I've tasted both import and domestic, this one just checks all the boxes for me. Ill have to bring some back so our resident Belgian beer expert can weigh in. @Chief Edited July 12, 2022 by ATXZJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I'm finding alcohol to be less and less fun lately. I still enjoy the taste, especially on a hot day, but I'm turning to NA drinks to scratch that itch. bouncing between Costco Kombucha and Karbach Free & Easy NA IPA right now. Some of the NA drinks are more expensive than the real thing, which seems weird. Athletic Brewing is doing really cool things for trails, though, so I don't mind spending a little more of my money with them right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is just as much work as regular drinks, and the volumes are lower. It all makes sense to me. Decaf coffee takes extra steps, for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I haven't tried Athletic Brewing's stuff. Everything else NA that I've tried that tries to emulate beer I don't like. However, Lagunitas HOP I really liked. Think of it as a hoppy seltzer. I also cut way down and will do teas at night to scratch that itch. I do like a specific kind of kombucha but it's very expensive. Someone told me I should try to make my own. I may give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Athletic Brewing has some good products. They have two IPAs that I really enjoyed. And they are VERY active in donating to trails, They gave a lot of their beer to us for the SATN Social. And they donate 2% of sales to trail projects. Really amazing. I was drinking beer all day at the SATN Social. They kept me sober enough all day. One beer, one Athletic Brew, one beer, one Athletic Brew. An excellent system! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Surprisingly pretty ok, though I'd be the last person to stipulate a beer's "IPA-ness" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 In New Orleans for the night. Our plan to head into town was thwarted by our malchi going nuts in the room so we had to do takeout from a place in the garden district. Good food and you can takeout frozen drinks by the gallon. What else can you say?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Heading to NM in 2 weeks. Will definitely be restocking while we are there. As my wife put it, it's like having a glass of wine, takes the edge off the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
