Pineapple sculpin is nice.

Try this year's version of Beer Camp if you like the Pineapple Sculpin.

Isn't that like 3 months old by now?



Even when fresh I felt like the dankness overwhelmed the tropical.

The grapefruit, original, and the dorado is all that is in my beer fridge currently. I think the pineapple is mediocre at best and the habanero is downright awful.

I hope corona doesn't ruin ballast point

Anyone else remember the Miller Lite Man Law commercials from about ten years ago? Don't fruit your beer was one of them. Ha. Times have changed.


Man laws was 2006.
Miller and Coors join up in 2007, the same time they stopped playing man law commercials. Coors, afterall, owned Tenth and Blake, the makers of Blue Moon.
In 2007, Miller releases Miller Chill, a lime and salt flavored beer.

Miller broke their own rules. Not that any drinkers of Miller would care. Similar to how Bud drinkers don't care that ABInbev own numerous craft breweries, yet they make commercials making fun of craft breweries and drinkers.

Meh. Same thing as crafties making fun of ABinbev and Bud drinkers yet buying their products.

Nope, it's the best of the adjunct Sculpins. Well, way better than the grapefruit one. I haven't had the pineapple one.

But I like pepper beers more than most.

Do you really?

I'm in the "frick pepper beers" camp.

Although I really liked hoppy wasabi and there are some exceptions like Mexican cake.

I love IPA's and I love hot peppers, but I hate hot pepper beer as well.

My beer guy told me a lot of people are mixing the pineapple with the habanero and it's really good. I told him I was just going to stick to the good stuff.


I did tell him to let me know when he gets the Watermelon Dorado though

To a point. Ghost Face Killah is too much. But I enjoy some pepper beers every now and then.

Agreed, and there are very few exceptions. They have to be absolutely amazing and generally have other adjuncts to balance the heat for me to like them.

Surprised to find out B is a fan.

I've had it. I liked it for one, but don't really want any more than that.

I like Sculpin, but I don't like it to the tune of 15/six pack. Been drinking the regular Orpheus IPA lately and liking that. Apparently there is a tropical variant but I haven't seen it.

I agree. I have one in the fridge that I keep passing up.

I need to try this. I recently discovered their Plum Saison. Really like it.

Have you had Hype Whale from Red Brick yet? LOVE it.

I can't say I've ever had an IPA I only wanted one of unless it was old/malty. Definitely still my favorite style even if not "trendy" anymore.

If you let it go more than a couple months, it won't be very drinkable anymore.
