Gumballhead and Zombie Dust beer

[Designer99]

I hope one of yous share the likens of myself. I'm down to my last 6pack of the gumballhead and needs more. I live on the south side of Indy, so if any of u beer drinkers now of a spot that has the gumball please let me know. I would also take the Zombie Dust but that's few and far between also.

I agree 100% and feel your pain. That's part of the reason it's so good, you never know when you'll be able to find some around here.

Brewstone Beer Company has Jinx Proof and Alpha King on tap for $3 right now. (north side, but did I mention it's $3 a pint!?!

I have been holding on to a 6 pack of Zombie Dust for 2 weeks.....waiting for a time to go to my brothers so he can try it....keeps getting cancelled....so i told him im not waiting any longer.

the Gumballhead is pretty easy to get around Merrillville.....great beer just very expensive.
$42 per case.

The Zombie Dust is $13 for 6....sheesh

Never had Zombie dust. WANTSOME! (in Dukenukem voice)

Both are good beers, my mom LOVES Zombie Dust. I prefer Osiris and Ranger (New Belgium) because they are cheaper and easier to obtain. I had some Gumball head and Osiris last night, I prefer Osiris.

The only place I have really found gumballhead on the SS is the Party Liquors off of Stop11 and Madison?? They sell single beers to make your own six pack, so I usually find 3 or 4 of them, but if you're desperate...

If you like Gumballhead, give this a shot sometime...

Boulevard Brewing Company » 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer

Boulevard Brewing Company » 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer

Boulevard "80 acre." Its only $7.99 or so a six pack, and boy is it good. The same brewery has an unfiltered wheat ale that is mighty tasty as well. It will make Upland Wheat Ale blush.

What about Hopslam? No one has mentioned that one yet. its about $18 a sixer...if you can find it.

The great thing about beer is there is one for each mood or occasion. Some of my favorites, in no real group or order are:

Pyramid "Haywire" (heffewiesen),
Negra Modelo (darker Mexican)
Molsen Golden (crisp, refreshing, delicious)
Michelob Amberbock (cold winter beer)
Sun King Sunlight (cream Ale)
New Belgium Fat Tire
Heineken
Budweiser!

No snobbery here, as you can see. I also like a wedge of lime or lemon in a cold bottle of something crisp and clean in the summertime. Quite refreshing. But geberally, when it comes to booze, ole Sasquatchhhunter is none too picky..........

I agree that Three Floyd's is way overrated. Especially the Dark Lord, don't get me wrong it's good beer, but I'm not about to spend all year waiting for a beer that I can only get one day again. And then be forced to brave a crowd of lonely hippies and pretentious d-bag beer snobs to get two bottles, screw that.

I suppose I'm just a weird one, I like microbrews, I can appreciate the hard work that goes into it, I'll even go out of my way to get one, but at the end of the day I'll still kick back with a billy beer like IDGAF.

Two of my absolute favorites. I'm enjoying a gumball head as I type. Zombie dust is a world class APA. Regarded as one of the best in the land by some. Its also about as hard to find as .22 ammo right now outside of the brewery. Luckily enough for me I travel to Chicago often and can stop by the brewery.

First of all the absolute best beer is a free one.

If you want grapefruit citrus hoppy delight then ZD does the best citra based on beer I have had. I am on my third batch of homebrew trying to perfect a clone.

 

[Shift]

Tried some gumball head recently, thought it was disgusting. Beer should not taste fruity.

 

[rockhopper46038]

MacNiven's on Mass Ave., downtown Indy just tapped a keg of Zombie Dust about 5 minutes ago, for those that were looking.

 

[SideArmed]

Get a pound of Citra and brew your own, you wont have to rely on buying.

I haven't had the pleasure of having zombie dust yet, but from what I read the citra will work well there. But to truly replicate gumballhead you're gonna need some Amarillo and a lot of it.

There is a very good clone recipe over on homebrewchatter.com that a friend came up with that is pretty much spot on. If I weren't posting from the phone I'd link to it.

The Zombie Dust is a PA...the hops flavor is too much for me, i will stick to the wheat beers.

I have 3 Zombie dust beers left though....not sure what im gonna do with those....lol

The only thing from three Floyd's I can find is
Pride and joy/alpha king.

I'd love to have a sixer of gum ball right now.

Yup, that's pretty much all I find in Indy now a days. I'm not particularly fond of either of them.

I was looking for Boulevard 80 acre (thanks to this thread) and stumbled on some Gumballhead, so I picked up a sixer of each.

No body has mentioned one of my favorite 3F beers, rye da tiger. Mmmmmmm. ZD is an awesome beer. I drank a lot of that in Mishawaka at B-dubs while I was working out of town. Pride and joy is ok, but a little light on the flavor for my taste. Gumball head was also on tap up there and I thought it was ok as well. Arctic panzer wolf is a bruiser not for the light beer weeny. It's a but kicker. It was $13 for a 12 oz glass on draft. If you like flavor in your beer give that one a shot.

Just had Zombie Dust over the weekend. Holy cow, you guys were right, what a great beer!

Case of Gumball Head and a case of Alpha King in the basement for Christmas gifts. 6 pack of Pride and Joy in the fridge.

I am now a 3Floyds convert.

Never had the Zombie Dust, but this thread makes me want to try it. I am a big fan of hoppy beers. Hop Slam is pretty good, and I usually buy a case or two every year when it comes out. I'm also a fan of Sun King's Osiris, and I'm sitting on one GFJ that I've stashed. Last summer I had Sun King's *****in' Camaro (I believe) on tap and it was fantastic. I couldn't find it in the stores after that, but I will keep my eyes open for it next summer. Another one worth trying is the Thr3e Wise Men's Centennial Martyr DIPA. I had it on tap at Scotty's Brewhouse (Sunday is $2.50 / pint) and I plan on going to get growlers filled (Tuesday $8 / growler fills).

I like some Gumball Head, but I love their Robert the Bruce Scottish ale.

 

[RGriff69]

I had Gumball Head and Robert the Bruce yesterday while watching the Colts get slaughtered.

Zombie Dust is good but my favorite is Gumball Head.
