Haha yes you did. Very tasty brew. Ok coming up next.

Here we go.

Looks like an F&B setting, so commercial beer. Doesn't look to have much head, so I'm using my guess to say:

NB Fat Tire Amber Ale

No sir but it is an ale.

I hear fat tire is great. Would like to try it sometime.

Supposedly they are going to be covering all 50 by the end of the year.

It is great, the moment I became obsessed with good beer was on my first taste of fat tire. They are building a brewery in Asheville, NC, so I think they will be expanding to more east coast markets soon. I can't believe it's not in NYC!

Anyway, on with the guesses!

Half right. Its not a red.

Maybe it is? I honestly dont remember ever seeing any NB in the local shops though.

Belgian pale ale

Here we go: best hint ever combine the first half of chocotacos answer with the second part of Jdaughts answer, and...you get the answer.

Irish pale ale?

You got it! Mcsorleys irish pale ale. Brewed by pabst actually haha. Wasnt all that great but not terrible either think the lines in the place couldve used some freshening up. That pint kept me out of the rain for a half hour so it did the trick. Youre up next choco!

You know what chocotaco. I just read the review on beer advocate and under style it is labeled an irish red. So you were correct youre first time through. My bad dude. glad you are still the one posting a pic

Dave, have you had their black lager, and if so, what did you think? I also basically found their pale ale serviceable, but though the black lager was quite a bit better (not that they're exactly comparable). I had no idea it was brewed by Pabst.

Yes ive had their black lager as well. Ive been to THE mcsorleys in NyC and its a pretty cool
Spot. Only 2 choice of beer to choose from. Dark or light. It is pretty ironic how the 2 beers in new yorks oldest bar are brewed in CA.

I've haven't gone to the bar yet, though I've been meaning too. I've walked past it plenty enough.

I don't have a pint to post, so I'll throw it up for grabs again.

If it's still up for grabs when I get off of work, I'll post one. Gonna need one.

Yum. Gents and ladies...

Amen brother. Too bad I'm at the fire house. I'd join you.

This might be a little tricky. Style+adjunct. Bonus points for the specific beer name.

Remember, rye isn't an adjunct, it's a specialty grain.

In light of that, Flanders Red ale, corn, Rodenbach Grand Cru.

Nope, but does Rodenbach Grand Cru really have corn in it? I never knew.

I'll have to double check, but I'm pretty sure it's 10% corn. Fairly standard for the style.

Well here is my first guess.. maybe.. .. hmmmm. Founders reds rye pa .. ?? Ehh.

Irish red with honey.

One of you has the style, but neither has the adjunct.

Huh. Is it an Irish red with candi sugar? Can't think what other type of adjunct would play well and be unusual enough to ask about specifically.

Irish red with boogers

Um, no.

Um, no.

Well guys, I think we've definitely ruled out Irish Reds. What else goes well with boogers?
