Beer O da day!
- Thread starter Benzopyrene
- Start date
Heady didn't live up to the hype for me personally, but then again I was at a huge bottle share and my palate was already pretty wrecked. I am a hop fiend though and prefer aggressively bitter IPAs that peel the enamel off my teeth.
I enjoyed a six pack if those a few months agoGonna give these a try
+1 heady is way over hyped imo.
Warming up for the World Cup football tonight with an English BBock

Hack the Gibson!
I thought it was better than Pliny but I do hate how much of a pain in the ass it is to get Heady. It was on my beer bucket list and glad I could mark it off!
I drove out to the Alchemist brewery a few weeks after I turned 21 to get a case of Heady, bout a 4 hour drive. Got there literally 5 minutes after they sold out for the weekend. After that I said screw Heady lol

Oh man, I would have been pissed!
Truly terrible. It was even worse when the girl working there offered me a free sample in a little glass. It was like the biggest tease ever. So close, yet so very far
Honestly I got a case when on vacation last summer. I got tired of drinking it, too much malt sweetness for me and it tasted a little murky to me. Its good but I dont believe its worth an inordinate amount of effort to acquire. If I had some id use it as trade fodder in a second.
I am a weirdo though and like more attenuated beers of any style.
Ive found that in general beer is sort of a lot like LE cigars. I think people that can get a certain brand hype it up to beat their chest a little. I would bet that if Heady was made in the quantity of say, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, everyone would be gushing over another beer that no one can get. Silliness it you ask me. I drink what is easy to get, or I make it. Im not hunting a beer down or paying 2x retail just for it to turn into peer as every other beer I drink does. Now if there is a beer out there that.gets you drunk then administers a sweet BJ I might change my tone.

Nope, right drink at the right time at the right place with the right food. Mexico playing Cameroon on every TV made it even better!
Yeah "hard to find" gets confused with "great product" sometimes
