What are you drinking now?

Hobgoblin! Oh so delicious.

Trappistes Rochefort 8. Absolutely amazing beer.

EdWorts Apfelwien...w/25% grapejuice. Turned out nice... especially the couple liters I froze and drained off!

Sweetwater Georgia Brown

Had a few pints of my vanilla porter, followed by a bomber of Lagunitas Imperial Stout.

Moylan's kilt lifter,liking this better today recapped bomber from yesterday,slightly flatter but bigger head, but the wisky taste aroma is a little less noticable which threw me off,not use to a beer tasting like i was going to do a shot of something.

The maltiness in this is great though, dont think i ever remember having scotch either.Pretty authentic character to this though, and i got it for 3 bucks.Probably aged for a while too,not too many people around here are into good beer,put it this way there are many barleywines in this small liquor store that have been sitting for a good year or two, but just got a year old SN estate ale for 7 bucks just to see the differnece in flavor/hop intensity from the new one.Ive tried them many months old and seen the difference but not a year.They dont put their good ipa's in the refrigerater either-except stone's sixers but not bombers. Althought the AB held up pretty well months after the drink by date on the shelf.

Ed worts robust porter.. Getting better ever single day

SN celebration clone.

Single hopped Centennial Pale Ale.

So far I like it better than its Cascade version. More tests are required...

My Winter ale 12%abv maple and fruity

Saranac White IPA, finally figuring this one out after four bottles. Basically it's Blue Moon with a s#!tload more hops. Not bad, not drop dead wonderful either, i'd give it another go.

Red hook esb and now finishing the 6 pack. Of Sam Adams alpine spring

Year old SN estate ale,still delicious but aroma is a bit mellow until it warms then its noticable, flavor is great massive lacing stilll nice bitter still same great taste, mildly flatter in the middle still a great beer,one of my favorates. lots of residual pineyness.

My Simco/ Amarillo session pale at 4%

Edit: is it just me or does the app distort/ blur pictures?

Yuengling lager. Good beer in a pinch

Yup black n tan in the hand right now.

I picked up some magic hat 9



Never had it but the subtle strawberry finish blew me away

just kicked the keg of cherry wheat- and i was supposed to bottle some. oh well. time to put a pilsner on...

Boston lager... friend left it over after having a crowd over for beers and dinner.

Really not to bad of an easy drinking beer while cooking.

On deck is an Anderson valley winter solstice, which is in my top 3 favorite winter beers this year.

It's apricot dude...





Old Rasputin RIS for me.

I flew out to the east coast for meetings this week, and I'm using the opportunity to sample beers I can't get in LA.

I had a few kinda sketchy NC brews in the Charlotte airport, but there was a standout Munich dunkel from olde micklenberg (?) brewing that was very enjoyable.

Right now I am drinking my first Smuttynose beer, their "finest kind" IPA. It is not bad with the exception of finishing a bit harsh for my taste. I am guessing they use something rather high in cohumulone for their bittering addition(s).

Drinking a very disappointing Sam Adams Alpine Spring.

Grolsch (blech) only for the bottles though...

French Broad Anvil Porter

I am drinking a few of my Sleepy Hollow Pumpkinhead Ales and then will probably end the night with an Ithica Flower Power.

My clone of Lakefronts IBA I got from NB. Being a hophead this is one of the best beers I've had...ever.

Had an immortal IPA. I cant lie, It hit the spot. ..

Where were you in NC? Charlotte only?

my Wandering Goth CDA. very solid brew, i think i pretty much nailed it this time!

ok- so now i just changed two kegs and kegged a dopplebock. I don't know if any other seasonal brewers are feeling the pains of 50 degrees in january- but i am. plus my sledding skills are rapidly deteriorating. i may have to take up wakeboarding of this keeps up...
oh and i'm drinking a continental pilsner

Oaked Arrogant Bastard

I keep looking for a good cheery wheat recipe. Care to share?


Edit: Just finished my first "sample" of my Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale clone on tap to see how the carbonation is coming along. I can see that this beer is going to be a problem....in that it's 11:30pm and I want to go sample some more and want to start on another batch of this TOMORROW.

Could you private message me the recipe for the sn celebration ale clone please?

SWMBO picked up ANOTHER mixed six pack from the mega-booze store, so I've got about 13 commercial brew varieties and 9 different homebrews to choose from.

I keep going to the fridge, but I can't decide what to drink.

I am sorry you're having problems. You will get through this, just keep your head up!

Boont Amber. Ahhh, liquid berry pancakes!

Stone IPA. Puzzlingly foggier than its Ruination compatriot.

Vodkja tonicg......I'm on business travel. And in pretty shrew I'm drunk

Drifter pale ale

Just finished the last of my SN Ruthless on to New Belgium Dig Pale Ale
