What are you drinking now?

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. Had high expectations,but its more in the ok range for me. Kinda wish I had tried it before buying two sixers of it. I enjoyed Sam Adams Pumpkin ale more. .
Schlafly is more in the darkcarmel sweet dry more spices clovey alcohol dry taste zone where as the Sam Adams is the bready/toasty with body , type pumpkin.

I enjoyed Pumking more this year compared to last as well,it seemed more pupmpkin pie less grahamy but a little more with some vanilla shortbread/sugarcookie type reminding me of pie crust as opposed to a super graham crust. Awesome aroma too -getting a few more for shure.

Im all Pumpked up this season. I know its not the season but hell why not have some already, everybody that likes em are brewing them anyway. The more you research,the more you know.

Driving to LA, stopped in Firestone Walker south, having a Double Jack and a Wookey Jack.

What a score. A localish Great Pumpkin Imperial [email protected]% abv. Although it has "artificial flavor" this is one vanillay very pumpkiny in a sweet stout.With a nice tobacco/ashy coffee finish.Dont think Ive had such a real pumpkiny tasting beer. Oh its Millstream Great Pumpkin imperial stout. Probably only avaiable in IA. Not bad for mainly then having mostly mediocre beers.

Anchor Steam Beer. Goes great with BBQ and volleyball.

My Irish Red. Nom.

St-Ambroise Pumpkin- forgot how much I liked it. Cant beleive its only 5%,its malty rich like a big imperial smooth silky with a unique fresh tastey spice complexity with toasty roasted carmelized pumpkin. Great aroma and taste.Great finish,just awesome all around. It has good ratings and I agree (not that it matters) but its worth checking out if you like this type in my opinon possibly your moms too,ohhh!.

Lapsang souchong. Mmmm....smoky.

I had a New Belgium Red Hoptober. I like the cut of it's jib.

Tonight is going to be some Founders Imperial Stout with a year of age on the 4-pack. VERY excited!

BMs Outer Limits IPA waiting for Bama vs UM

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Folks. Grainy/toast bready wisky beer.

modus hoperandi

drinking stone ipa and chomping on a couple homegrown hops. as if there wasn't enough hops already.

Grabbed some Mission St. IPA from Trader Joe's. Damn good and cheap as hell.

Freigeist Abraxas, which is a Lichtenhainer. Smoked + sour wheat beer. Not for everyone, but I like it a lot.

Mikkeller- beer geek brunch weasel



I had this bottle for a while and I wanted to bring it out and finally drink it.

sierra nevada pale ale - an old standby - and a damn good one!

Bell's Two-Hearted. Old stand-by.

A pint of Hopfen Weisse, resurrected from a frozen keg that occurred on the 22nd. It was a sad day to see the frozen beer, but it seems to have survived with little detriment.

Otherwise I would have been PISSED. I worked hard to make that beer, and it was the first beer I ever kegged. Guess that's what you get for using an 80+ year old kick-a$$ fridge. Taught me to defrost it a little more, I guess.

Ommegang Hennepin Farmhouse Saison. Nice straw colored wheat haze. Low bitterness. Belgian yeast fruitiness. Nice, but not my style.

After a series of dumpable 1/2 finshed oktoberfests.Finally a tolerable good Bells Oberon.Goes good with some spicey fried eggplant.

And a Lakefront New Grist(gluten free). Refreshing tangy,somewhat peachy, not bad and probably underated, what a bunch of RatingHaters when it comes to anything mild with ratings. A good gluten free beer shouldnt be rated a 6 just because its gluten free refreshing mild,somewhat light. Ive had worse saisons rated way higher.Which this slightly remides me of one.

My American Wheat Ale.

McMenamin's Hammerhead... Pretty tasty.

My saison.

McSorely's Black Irish Lager.

Nb ranger ipa....
Haven't had this ipa in a year, and its soo tasty!!

Love me some 101!

I just had a Total Domination IPA from Ninkasi...

Fun fact: Ninkasi chose the name "Total Domination" because "The Crimson Tide" was already taken.

Coffee now, but I had a Harpoon Rye IPA at a block party Saturday, excellent.

Lancaster brewing company kölsch and yuengling oktoberfest. Well not right now and not at the same time. You get the point.
