.:.impossible Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I was telling a friend about this beer last night... he's not particularly a jazz fan, and asked if anyone had ever labeled a beer "Bitches Brew"? Quote
7/4 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 They could have put a little more research into the guitar for that nice label! dB Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I hope they take it easy on the hops for once, Rouge generally seems to operate on the theory that more hops is more better and It Ain't Nec'ly So! Overpriced as well as over hopped... but I'll ceertainly give it a try. We are spoiled for beer here in puddletown. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Does anyone know where I can find out how and/or where I'll be able to get this in the Boston area? Quote
Johnny E Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Posted January 13, 2009 Jazz Guy ale will be available in New Orleans, San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Seattle and Chicago. Sounds like any Beantown store with a well stocked micro-brew selection should carry it. Quote
papsrus Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) What about out of those areas (like Florida)? I must have some of this beer. Where can I get some shipped to me? EDIT: nevermind. i found their OL store. Edited January 13, 2009 by papsrus Quote
1009 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 Lived in Boston for about six years a while ago. I'm pretty sure Marty's in Allston (193 Harvard Ave.) would carry this new Rogue. & if they don't have it you can grab one of their awesome sandwiches as long as you're there. Mmm. Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 What about out of those areas (like Florida)? I must have some of this beer. Where can I get some shipped to me? EDIT: nevermind. i found their OL store. I didn't know it's legal to ship beer to Florida. If not, you'll likely be able to find the stuff at Whole Foods. Quote
WorldB3 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 That looks good. I liked the Dead Guy Ale and Juniper Pale Ale they make. Has anybody had the Brother Thelonious Belgain by North Coast Brewery? Quote
Quincy Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 That looks good. I liked the Dead Guy Ale and Juniper Pale Ale they make. Has anybody had the Brother Thelonious Belgain by North Coast Brewery? It's okay. Unless you really want the label artwork I'd say save your money and buy a real Belgian. I love North Coast's Old Stock Ale & their Old Rasputin Stouts (they have an Imperial as well), but their Belgian just isn't in the same class as those 2. Quote

Yeah, I was underwhelmed as well and not particularly enamored either with North Coast's other dubbel, Cru d'Or (basically an organic version of Brother Thelonious). If you want a good value domestic beer in this style, I would try the Ommegang Abbey Ale - you can often get a bomber for around $6-7. Quote

Has anybody had the Brother Thelonious Belgain by North Coast Brewery? The Thelonious brew may not be special but the Sweatshirt they sell with the Cool Monk painting sure is. They may sell it online as well. Picked mine up a few years ago at the Monterey Jazz Fest. Quote

And yes, you can wear Brother Thelonious. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 That's got to be just about the coolest t-shirt ever ! Quote

Think I will just get the shirt. The only American made Belgian I ever liked was the Hennpin and the Ommegang Abbey. Fat Tire is everywhere here in SF which I think is terrible.

(pre-emptive apology for derailing thread) Have you tried the Brother David's Double from Anderson Valley? The version I tried in the bottle was only OK but I once had one on tap (they used to have it at the Elbo Room in SF) that was delicious. Quote

Hey, thanks for mentioning that as I'm a fan of Anderson Valley too. And yeah baby, it is a treat when you find a place that has precious stuff like that on tap! We have a bar that moves kegs around all the time so you have to be there at the right time. I've missed the days that Old Rasputin Imperial was broken out. I wish they had some sort of email system to warn me. Maybe they'd rather people go every day. Quote

These aren't Belgian style, but tehy are really good: Quote
WorldB3 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 Big Wheel and Johnny, I will look for those. The Anderson Valley and DogFish Head are two of my favorite Breweries and most of what they put out are available in my area. Thanks. To keep it music related the PDX Jazz fest lineup has a couple events I wouldn't mind going up for. Has anybody else been to previous festivals? Quote
blajay Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 I liked the Monk for a one time drink. The Lagunitas brewery's Frank Zappa beers are the best bang for your buck in terms of musical beers: Quote

These aren't Belgian style, but tehy are really good: The Reverend is Belgian style - It's an Abt/Quadrupel. I have one sitting on a high shelf aging for a while on the advice of my local beer guru.
