What are you drinking now?

Had a pint of Bass at the bar earlier. Was bummed at first when she handed me the frosted glass, but suprisingly, the malt and hops came through well even at that temp. That was good cause I didn't have time to wait for it to warm....

Just had a Lagunitas Imper Red for the first time. I really liked it. I was looking for a DIPA with some more malt than usual and found this instead. At 84IBUs 7.5%ABV and being a red, it was just what I was looking for but didn't know it.

I'm finishing off tonight with my absolute favorite - Fuller's London Porter. *Sip* Damn this beer is good...

A new to me beer

Boont Amber Ale
Anderson Vally Brewing Co.
from Boonville, CA

Above Avg for style, nice and creamy. But not good enough to justify the $10+ for a 6-pack again.

Belgian Pale with W3711...a little spicy for the style but very good!

also had some whisky and a couple oragnegatoradevodkas. I think Im on to something. Just put some 8 month Apfelwein in fridge for Sunday's trip to Qwest field!

Stone Thirteenth Anniversary Ale

Duck Rabbit Marzen out of my new 0.5 L Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse glass. Damn good Marzen. Maybe the best I have had.

bass .....

dead guy while brewing thunderstruck

my pumpkin ale I brewed last month (still a little green...but still goood) while I brew a lemon balm hoppped ale.

Stone Imperial Russian Stout

Sierra Nevada Estate Ale, before that I had a Belhaven Scottish Ale and a Beamish Stout, nitro cans of course, and a 21st Amendment Black IPA with dinner.

Tomorrow I plan on settling down for a day watching motorcycle racing on TV and a Rodenbach Grand Cru, a Deschutes Black Butte XXI, a funky Banana Bread Ale, and a weird little Chinese beer, Lucky Lager, that comes in a Buddha shaped bottle. Hmm, I always thought Lucky Lager had the little rebus under the cap. This is NOT my father's Lucky Lager!!!

EDIT: Turns out it was called Lucky Beer and not Lucky Lager. Also, turns out it was VERY skunky...gotta love those green bottles!

Vermonster

Sam Adams' Oktoberfest. Found it in the back of the kegerator while changing a keg.

Deschutes Hop Trip - my first "fresh hopped" brew.

Meh. ZERO hop aroma, near zero flavor. Bittering was OK though. Tasted like any other generic mediocre brewpub ale.

Thankfully, I followed it with a Glenmorangie 12yr Burgundy Wood.

Boonville Beer's Hop Ottin' IPA. not bad....

Lagunitas IPA

Definitely sounds like you have an old bottle. There were two versions of this brewed - one was discontinued in 2008 IIRC. You could have had one of these or something like that. From what I have heard, this has lots of hop aroma.

It's brewed Oct - Dec, according to Deschutes website. I know the liquor store owner well and he said they had just came in. Could've been an off batch though.

the Saint Arnold Christmas Ale.... Just moved to Houston thought I'd try the local stuff.

Hobgoblin, Dead Guy

Left Hand Milk Stout clone. Yes that one.

Redhook Belgian Tripel.

reminds be of a belgian tripel. slightly. Kinda the way diet coke reminds me slightly of real coke.

Stone Smoked Porter

while eating grilled pork tenderloin with a mango chutney and red-skinned mashed potatoes.

Sam Adam's Winter Lager

Octoberfest which is finally ready.. man, it's been worth the wait though..
Oh, and eating my chilly for supper, so tomorrow's sunday football at my friends is going to be REALLY fun

Right now I'm drink Scotch (Glenlivet 12 yr). It takes the strong stuff after a night of trick or treating.

Earlier I was drinking a Black Dog Ale from a Mid West kit.

I'm kegging my Octoberfest next week (after 4 weeks of primary + secondary and 8 weeks lagering). I hope it's good.

Last two bottles of Amarillo IPA batch II that I didn't know I still had,

Guinness and Schlafly Pumpkin Ale (Black & Orange)

I had one of these with dinner. I thought it tasted like a scotch ale.

Right now im drinking an old rasputin after hanging out at the neighbors and blacking out the house.

Widmer Brrr. It is hoppy. I am happy.

Just finished an Anderson Valley IPA and moved on to my last bottle of Victory Hop Head. Both great IPAs but Hop Head is definitely the winner tonight.

Sam Adams's Boston Lager leftover from Halloween.

Bohemia.

It's ok.

Not what I expected.

Sierra Nevada Harvest Wet Hop Ale

Had some on tap at Porter's on Saturday. Stopped on the way home from work today and picked up a 24 oz bottle.

Two Hearted Ale.
