Tried a Founders Backwoods Bastard last night. It was fun: kind of like drinking malty whiskey. Split it with a friend. Not sure if I'd love a whole bottle.
Currently in love with everything I've tried from Pretty Things. If you get a chance, check 'em out!

Some not so recent tries of mine...
-Lagunitas IPA- Forget 90 minute... this is probably the best IPA in America.
-Bell's Rye Stout- meh...
-Bell's Christmas Ale- below meh... bordering on not good. Think ginger cotton candy beer, but not sweet like cotton candy and bordering on not seeming carbonated... very weird.
-Darkhorse Scotty Karate- I know I posted this on the 'What's in your fridge' discussion, but it seems WAY different on tap than in the bottle. Heavy smoked cedar. I dig it, but it's 50/50 with our customers.

Bry,
It's been some time since I have been to MI to seen my family. Next time out your way I will look you up so you can show me Michigan's finest pints.
Can't wait.

Bry,
Now your talking my language. I live in the off flow of Walking man brew pub in Stevenson Washington. http://www.walkingmanbrewing.com/
My customers have said to me they were trying to enjoy a new brew on tap while sitting at a table out side the pub but a strange coffee aroma waifed by there nose as they sipped their beer. That was me roasting a couple blocks away. I love there craft brews, especially their IPA gold medal winner, "HomoErectis"

Comment by John Berkness on June 22, 2009 at 5:28pm - sometimes being stuck at the shop in the evening when you have a fridge full of flying dog can suck it big time

I would reccomend a Baratza grinder (http://www.baratza.com/) instead of pre grinding. These are solid home grinders that can easily make the transition to a light commercial use decaf espresso grinder. You can get them from $150-450, but they i thi…
what i've found is that the problem isn't traditional drip brewing - it's the airpots. anything sitting for more than half an hour gets funky tasting. if i brew a 2.2 litre airpot of our colombian at 60g/l and taste it immediately, it's really nice.…
Almost forgot Organic Products Trading (optco) Smaller offerings but good people and they get some good coffees in.
I have also read great things about sustainable harvest but haven't ordered.
Getting a box of new samples from any of these places is…
awesome, great info. and zephyr will have el injerto next year! if i was a millionaire i would buy so much damn coffee
It is really hard to get reliable info on Ethiopian coffees due to the ECX. (ethiopian commodity exchange) Lots of articles on this on coffeed.
For Sale: rebadged La Spaziale EP 1-Group small commercial/large prosumer espresso machine.
This beautiful semi-automatic espresso machine is about two years old and is in pristine condition inside and out. I purchased it from a fellow CG'er last…
I've got just enough regular decaf drinkers that I can't really eliminate it (as much as I'd love to, but these are the kind of customers that have been coming in for 16 years, so...). Yeah, I'm looking at the schematics now, and I'm thinking I can…
Atlas in Seattle. Craig is a q grade trainer and one of the more knowledgeable coffee guys I've met. Also Zephyr, (I deal with the Seattle office.) I haven't tried shrub but I like the concept.
keith pettigrew, an australian barista judge who trained me a bit in australia, told me to use espresso within 3 minutes of it being ground. that rule has never failed me. i dropped $1500 on an extra k-10 for decaf and it was worth every penny. to b…
excellent suggestions so far, i emailed the links to the roaster and we'll see what he thinks. this is the stuff i really dig - i'm never going to be able to taste every coffee but having specific information about the coffees i do taste helps so mu…
I have worked in a shop that did this, and even if you grind the decaf and take it straight to the machine, you still can't dial it in to pull decent shots. It would be better to have a cheaper lower volume grinder to dedicate to decaf if you are wo…
