90 minute ale in SoCal!!!!!

[hopjack13]

i just talk to my beer guy (at bevmo whilst picking up a case of the yulesmith!) and he said sometime in the near future they will no longer be carrying the chicory stout and will be replacing it with the 90 minute ale!!!! WOOOO WHOOOO!!!!!! WOOOO F@#KING WHOOOOO!:D

Yep - just in time for the 100 degree heat, right? Oh well... it cellars really nicely as well, I'm sure!

BTW.... Yulesmith? Having Christmas in July? :D

yeah man! i picked up a case (of the yulesmith) last night , it was hard to get cuz they only made 1776 bottles, thats only 148 cases! one guy was only selling 1 per customer!

and i don't think the 90 minute cellars very well, i have 1 750ml bottle that may be past it's prime?

and thnx chaz! i'm excited about getting some fresh bottles on a regular basis!

[fretlessman71]

Break out that 750 and waste no time, then! I bet you'll be very surprised.

Thanks, chaz! You know, now that I've given up trying to keep up with you, my blood pressure has gone back down to where I don't have to take my medication.... ;) (JK.)

actually they quit bottling the 90 min in 750ml a while back and the last one i had afew months ago wasn't nearly as good as a fresh one from a 12oz. could be just me though...

Well being a figurehead has its advantages. It allows me to play online all day. And beer is an obsession with me. My posting is just habit now. I really enjoy all of you fine people on this board.

They stopped bottle conditioning when they went to 12oz bottles.

welcome back batkins! where ya been?
so if the 750ml are bottle condition then it stands to reason that you could cellar one , buuuuuutttttt would it do it any justice?

[fretlessman71]

Depends... how old is it? Have you kept it in pristine cellaring condition? Can you see yeast on the bottom (yeah, right)? Give it a shot, man! :D

[batkins]

Thanks.
I've always been here..........just lurking in the shadows.
My last one, I hung onto for about a year. Seemed fine when I drank it................but that was last Oct. or Nov.
You could always sit down and do a comparison of that new Yulesmith and the older 90 Minute. How can you lose with that?

Cheers,
Bill

well, i was actually going to give the bottle to someone out here but didn't want to give them something that was going to be less then great. like i siad the other i drank last month and it was not as good as i had remembered from the 12oz i had before....come to think of it i may have gottin it from you???

not exactly sure how old it is a friend out east had it in his cellar and shot 2 over to me. i drank one and still have one. although i am inclined to say that ipas should really not be aged for too long (imo) it kinda kills the floralness of the hops..imo

[Trentrr182]

How much are you guys payin' for these kegs??

[hopjack13]

welcome aboard Trentrr182

im not buying these by the keg..im not sure the yulesmith even comes in kegs durring the regular season??? the 90 min i'm sure comes in kegs but we can't even get the 12oz bottles in socal.....yet.
although i hear o'brains in san diego will have an occasional keg of the 90 and 120 minute ales.
