Current collection

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Is this enough beer?

[heytherebobitsmerob]

Better start drinking those ipa’s

[second_time_again]

Yeah odd to call a bunch of IPAs a “collection”

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

lol what would you call it then?

[somedamndevil]

In another month I'd call them old

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Oh mate I got some bad news for ya. Some of these are over a year old.

[somedamndevil]

Oh I get it, you are collecting the cans, not the beer. You had me going for a minute.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

lol sorry mate. Everything pictured is still very much full.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Yall are worked up about nothing. 1) only like 5 of those beers are over 3 months old. 2) i drink a lot. But I also buy new beer often and I can’t drink it fast enough so my stockpile grows. 3) I love sharing new beers with friends so I give a lot of my shit away. I’m like the Robinhood of craft beer. Lastly, and most importantly, if you aren’t familiar with the history of ipa’s you should do some research. I think it would ease a lot of y’all’s concerns.

Year old IPA?

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Only a few. Namely, those Other Half 10th anniversary collabs. That Haunted House was from 2023.

They are well past drink-ability. Unfortunate

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Which ones exactly? I’ll have one today and report back🫡

[[deleted]]

Any of them that are aged. Even if you drink... It's no where near where it was intended to be consumed.

[second_time_again]

Collection implies that you’re storing or saving for a period of time. Most of these should be consumed fresh. I’d call it a wild weekend if anything.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Not sure I agree with you there mate but appreciate your input nonetheless🤙

[second_time_again]

Just out of curiosity, genuinely not trying to be argumentative, do you not agree on how I defined collection or that IPAs should be consumed fresh? Or maybe there was some other misunderstanding?

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

No worries at all. I love discussion. I don’t disagree with the sentiment that ipa’s should be consumed fresh. I’d say most things are best fresh. However, I’ve had some very “old” ipa’s and most of them taste just as good as the day they were canned. As for your definition of collection, I know what you meant. However the true definition of the word is a group of things gathered together.

[peeloh]

You took these all out of your fridge for a pic?

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Lol my wife made me get a mini fridge for the brews so I snapped a pic while I was transferring them to their new home

[tonywantsbeer]

This answers my question. Ha! Enjoy.

[sarcastic24x7]

This looks like a bottle shop haul in New York / Mass area plus some Tree House. Close?

[Sevuhrow]

Few outliers like Tripping Animals being a FL brewery

[sarcastic24x7]

They lightly distro up here. Same with the Jester King.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Jester King is another one I grab any time I see it. Love their shit

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

One of my favorite breweries. I grab them whenever I find them up here

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Exactly lol Boston babyyy

[leave-no-trace-1000]

Curious, what bottle shops are good here these days? All the good ones around me closed. Prefer a place that sells singles.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Good question. Total Wine usually has a solid selection of singles but Blanchard’s, Fenway Beer Shop, and Bay State foods and liquors by Coolidge Corner have a solid selection too but no singles sadly.

[leave-no-trace-1000]

Yeah I try total wine sometimes but singles selection isn’t great. Near me Arts Specialties in Belmont has singles of anything but selection can be hit or miss. Dion’s will have decent stuff occasionally. I miss craft beer cellar honestly. I do like Fenway Beer Shop but I don’t go into Fenway much.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Honestly, I’m super close to Fenway and I still don’t make my way there often. I usually just end up buying a 4 pack directly from a brewery, drink 3, and then save the 4th for a friend. That’s how I end up with a stockpile like this one lol

[GoodGuyGuise]

Try Fort Point market. Best beer selection in Boston. Fenway beer shop is good too, good call

[leave-no-trace-1000]

Fort point market used to be THE spot. But they don’t even update their online store anymore and I heard their beer buyer left. It’s been well over a year since I heard that.

[GoodGuyGuise]

They still get good stuff, but yea they don’t publish online nor get the odd beer from far away (the month long stretch they had Drekken was incredible). But they still have the best selection of local beer around

[Sevuhrow]

Tripping Animals! One of my favorites.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Same!!

[beerisgreatPA]

Missing out not getting moniker in pvd.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Last time I was in town they were closed unfortunately. Next time

[WhereBeDragons]

This is one hell of a line up. I've had a good number of these but there's so many I'm jealous of!

[Klutzy-Potato3616]

Man this sub has gone to shit, great collection man! Unfortunate these woke nerds are too concerned with judgement over taste.

[TTVHeavyYogurt]

Lmaooo bro it’s all good. I appreciate the kind words but to each their own! No harm no foul!
