This one is worth it. I needed to get out and do this after today!

I'd say if someone thought ST's Pumking was way too sweet then I'd recommend this instead. It's way better than I thought it would be.

Sounds like something I would so once. I'm a fan of Gran Mariner and the older bottle (I think it's the 100 year old stuff) is one I'll order every once in a while. I think it like $35-$40 per glass but damn it's good!

My Belgian Pale.

90% 2 Row, 10% Wheat Malt, a pinch of acidulated malt. Noble hop of your choice to 30 IBU, dry hop w/ 1oz American IPA hop of your choice. Ferment w/ WLP550 or similar at 70F. Perfection!

Leadgolems coffee wine. This is very unique. Similar to coffee liquor but thinner and less sweet. At 14.7% I'm forecasting buzzed with partly cloudy skies!

I've checked it out in the recipe section of the forum and been wanting to brew it for a while now. It just sounds too good.

Sounds about right.

That's how I feel about NEBCO. But on the other hand, more people will get to taste their fantastic brews. It just sucks going to your local spot sometimes and having 9 billion tourists there. I totally get that.

Nah... NEBCO's demand has nothing on the Alchemist. We got three cases of GB in yesterday and there was still some left when we closed that night.

Nice. I keep eyeing that and wanting to try it but I have yet to pull the trigger. I suppose I'm only out a few bucks out if I don't like it. Maybe I'll snag a bottle tomorrow.

This one's OK. The hops aren't really doing it for me. I'm coming to realize I don't like earthy hops all that much. Or at least the ones that are so earthy they smell like onions. Just a personal thing, I guess.

Yessir. For the unforeseeable future. I miss my family. It's just me and the boss man now. The shop guys went home. We're in heavy debugging mode. I'm looking for a light at the end if the tunnel, but it's still faint.

I'm on a three year rotation. Drinking 2011 this year with stashes of 2012 and 2013. Drink the 2012's next year and so on..,

Nuke & Ty, I don't totally hate on SA, just hard to find a really great pumpkin around here after having pumking and now warlock. This is very good. Wish I had bought more, I believe it's all gone.

Have you had shipyard? I have that too.

I have also heard shipyard makes a good pumpkin! Never had either. Next year. I love the warlock. I'm hoping to get a Mastrr if Pumpkins this year, but we'll see.

I haven't had Shipyard this year, but previous year's releases were pretty good. Much better than Pumpkinhead, anyway. I don't hate on SA either in the traditional sense, but since I moved away from them as my gateway into craft beer I haven't really had anything from them that impressed me all that much. One notable exception is their Doublebock in their Imperial series. I thought that one was very well made and very delicious.

On a related note to the Pumking... while it doesn't taste much like it, my imperial pumpkin smells quite similar to Pumking, so you have that to look forward to.

Had this for the first time. Only my second sour, I think I'm getting into it though. I enjoyed this one

Now I'm 4 times more excited!

Paint it black, collab between magnolia brew pub and 21st amendment, nice stout!

HB Imperial Stout

Good stuff!

Well, this one's better but still not my cup of tea. It was free though, so I'm not going to complain. The last one of theirs I had, an imperial stout, was pretty awful so this level of quality is a step up for them IME.

If you like that, wait til you have a good one.

Still punishing myself with brown saison. Wort is almost chilled. Beer is ready to bottle. Don't have to be up for 5 1/2 hrs and all I have to do tomorrow is drink and press apples so hopefully it won't matter how sleep deprived and hungover I am. Napping instead of starting brewin earlier was a terrible idea.

It would be a fine beer if I hadn't used Brewer's Gold.

Yes! Fiancee just came home with this for me to enjoy with our all day football beer lazyfest tomorrow!

Thats pretty old school though i believe. Probably just me, havnt been able to get under 1.008 the three times I tried with a lot of specialty grains and the sweetness wasnt to my liking.

Didn't you say a few whiles ago that you'd never use that hop again? Or am I recollecting an alternate universe that I apparently live in?

I won't be using it again. This is the beer that spawned that comment, but I don't have much of anything else in the regular beer category.

I'm drinking a flat 'Flemish saison' that I knew i shouldn't open. Only two weeks bottled, i doubt it's ready before January

I thought this thing could do better, should have removed the broken screen earlier.

Shorts Brewing Mystery Imperial Oatmeal Stout from their limited Fall Box. A very nice Imp stout! 10% well hidden nice and chocolatey with a good roast. ( where is everyone? Dont u know we have a extra hr to drink??)

On the Coff right now.

Had such a great buzz going last night. My buzz was over immediately after receiving a call that my cousin's fiance had ended her own life (at 25 yrs. old).
