The Hopry Session # 1 Three Floyds Alpha King

[Dude421]

My apologies for breaking your reign, but in all seriousness, you took waaay too long... Christ, nearly five minutes just to drink it? Wasn't really all that informative either, save for when you decided to let Ratebeer in your monologue. My advice is just to shorten the video so you would actually have something to say about the beer before you taste it.

Just shot a vid review for their Dreadnaught IPA. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I was at 3 Floyds, and I was talking to the bartender, 3 Floyds has such a small liquor license, they only can ship to MI,IN,IL,OH. I can get them anytime, send me a msg, I am 5 mins from the brewery.

its been over a year since ive last been to the US ( at the 2008 GABF).

PtE/PtY, Arrogant Bastard/Ruination, Jolly Pumpkin, Lost Abbey. Ommegang,  among many others are definitely on my list of beers on this visit. Thanks for the Tips.

[JimAraneta]

I live in Manila Philippines. I import & distribute Ballast Point, Flying Dog, Gordon Biersch and Rogue into the country. Anderson Valley, Southern Tier and Stone are being added to my list next year.

I will be in San Francisco this week. Alpha King here i come!

[TheGrandOleHopry1]

Ahhh...very nice. Southern Tier is great. You'll enjoy them a lot. As for your trip to San Francisco...PLEASE drink some Russian River Pliny the Elder while you're there. It's a game-changing beer. You will not be disappointed. Anything Russian River, Stone, or Lost Abbey is essential on your visit.

I've heard great things about Three Floyds but I've never been able to get any myself.

Your camera looks great - what kind are you using?

I'm not a fan of the tulip glass that much. In fact, I dont really like stem glasses all that much.

Love a good hoppy beer though! Wish I could get this one.

[TheGrandOleHopry1]

Hey Chad, thank you for the comments. Glad to have you along. In response to a couple of your questions: I use a Sony HD Camera (HDR-XR2000V). I've always bought Sony products as long as I can remember. They've never done me wrong. As for the tulip glass, I mainly prefer them for beers that I really want to smell in a review setting. They're obviously not optional. And last, I HIGHLY recommend getting some Three Floyds Dreadnaught. It's amazing. I wish I could get more myself.

Sounds like my kind of beer. The glass was really good for the brew. If i can find any FFF i will definently get it. I doubt i will get them here, but we have great selection to stone and dogfish head beers. also almost every allagash.

[TheGrandOleHopry1]

Allagash makes some crazy good beer. I was lucky enough to get some on my last visit to Chicago. But we don't ever see them here in Kansas City. As for the glass, do a search on Google for "Libbey Poco Grande" and you're sure to find some.

Trying to work out a trade to get some 3 Floyds. Living in NYC I can't get some amazing west coast and central US breweries. Maybe we can work out a trade one day. Cheers!

[JimAraneta]

Fantastic review. Keep them coming. I'll seek out a FFF Alpha King next time i'm in the US. Cheers!

Thank you, Jim. In what part of the world do you live?
