I've been wanting to try this for a while now and yankfan9 was kind enough to track some down for me in exchange for Pliny. These are now in the fridge awaiting their ultimate demise:



My biggest issue is WHEN to get to them. Right now I have:
Anchor IPA
A bomber of Apex
My Quickie Pale Ale
A 5G keg of Dead Guy Walking
A 2.5G keg of Anchor Steam Clone
A 2G keg of my IPL carbing up
A bottle of Ghost in the Machine on the way

It's good have a full pipeline but there are so many beers and so little time.

Consider this post a placeholder for now. And of course, anybody that has tried Zombie Dust should post their thoughts about it.

Very nice!!! But I can't help you on what to drink and when to drink it. Looks like you have some tough choices ahead of you buddy!!!

PLEASE let me know how it is. I just finished my last liter bottle last Saturday. It was a little past time since it was getting too dank even for me. I like dank but that was a cross between hay straw soaked in cat piss sitting in the sun for a week. ANd I mean that in a good way

IT was a decent beer but I have no idea how it compared to the real thing. I'm not sure if I'd brew it again or not as other beers are more to my liking and seem to be more drinkable to others I share with.

This will be a weekend of brewing for Twin Brothers Brewing (aka, Two Brother's Brewing, Twin Brewing.....we'll need some help in picking the formal name) as we're brewing a Beerlord recipe at my house on Sun......Bald Spot IPA and some concoction, I forget what, at Beerlord's house on Mon (Lundri Gras for those of you who may know what that is) and while brewing we will be sharing some of my Blind Pig Clone (Little Piggy), and GF's Palette Wrecker and Parish Brewing's Ghost along with Beerlord's Latest Pliny and I may sneak a bit of his Honkin stout as well as his other hidden gems. This will be a really stressful weekend having to have 70 degree weather and brewing and drinking 2 days in a row but, ONE DOES WHAT ONE MUST FOR THE SACRIFICE OF THE TRADE, right?

But then I digress............yes PLEASE let me know how the ZD is. One day I will get one and hope to remember how it compares. thx

Glad they arrived in good shape! I think you will really enjoy those!

Ron, go ahead and brag. You've earned it. Plus, that beer doesn't work on those that are already zombies.

Well since Brewbirds are sibling brewers as well I had to give this a shot:

Redbeer 'd Lords brewery? ... eeehhhh
Lord Red's? .... naaah
Twinhoppers?... eeerrrr no
Twicebrewed... huh?
Borg Brothers... hmmmm?
HopsX2 from the Bayou waaayawl???
"Come --Together-- Right-- Now-- Over-- Two" Brewing...needs to add your music to it????
Hops Two Peds (pedestrians) ...you'd surely be sued
"All IN" Deuces Are Better... that should get your financing!!!
Brew On Two Others... that should get you dates :):):)

Wow, do you work for an ad agency? Some good ones in there. I think the Beatles might sue us for one of those. Twicebrewed sounds like a good beer name. I'm holding on to that until I can think of a recipe for it.

Maybe something that has to go through a double fermentation of some sort. Uh-oh....here I go again!!!

Jeez, another enabler! Don't show up at my 12 step program.

Those are some very nice ideas, brewbirds. If we use them, I'll take full credit, disavow any knowledge of you or this site and pocket all profits (but we'll send you 1/4 liter of something HOPPY).

thx

I drank one of these last night, and it was good. I say "good" and not "great", but there is clearly nothing wrong with this beer. It's Citra heavy and forward, as you would expect and I could see drinking a number of them while shooting pool, bbq'ing, etc.

The aroma is wonderful and the taste is mango/citrus heavy, for sure. It doesn't have a lot of bitterness but you wouldn't expect it to, either. I feel like I've had very similar beers before, though. For example, Kona Brewing Golden Wave is very similar, but a lighter beer - it's more of a blonde than a pale ale but has a very similar taste profile.

Many thanks to yankfan9 (Brandt) for making the swap with me as I'm glad I got to try one. While I did enjoy it, I wasn't knocked out of my socks to the point where I would go searching for it when I feel like I can get similar offerings pretty easily. Again, that's not to disparage the beer, it's a quality beer and I did enjoy it.

So hard to communicate subtleties in written form....

Glad to hear you got to try one. If I had to compare I would say Pliny the Elder is much better than Zombie Dust now that I have had one, but Zombie Dust as you said is a good and very drinkable beer

Agreed. And ZD is one that I would drink if I ever came across it. It's solid. Thanks for offering up the trade as I don't know when I ever would have been somewhere to have one otherwise.
