I volunteered to get the beer for the BJCP study group that meets in my house. Yet again I can only find a couple of the beers I need to get at least one commercial example for each sub-category. So we are going with two out of the 5 sub-categories in Scottish & Irish Ale. Yes I know that ‘A’ is not imported. But still.
Is there any online source I could tap into (pun intended) for future purchases?
Glanced at website. Double Mountain Kolsch on the front page. Yuk! Its a horible example of a kolsch. Normally reeks of yeast and vegetal hop. But their Hop Lava is good stuff.
Steve, next time you’re in portland try Belmont Station 4500 SE Stark.
Back int he mid 90’s when I was a starving and fledgling beer nerd I used to mail oder beer from Belmont Station that I wanted to try. In fact, first time I ever tried any commercial examples of Barley Wine was from Belmont Station.
