time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[drainbamage]

Stone Delicious IPA

You got it! And here I figured "an IPA by Stone" would still keep this going for a few hours.

Bit of cross referencing narrowed it down... elementary

I'll put it up for grabs this time.

Heh, I'm no savant... pretty average in terms of beer knowledge (with respect to HBT anyway).

But you'll notice that everything I guessed is currently or was recently on tap at Flipdaddy's Union. Any time I get it right it's a combination of luck and google-fu.

Edit: And knowing where to look for clues besides from OP.

 

[bragona71]

chacotaco put this up for grabs! anyone have one ready?

 

[drummerguy]

I'll try to keep the game going. Beer and brewery, please.

 

[TooDogly]

Terrapin Wake n Bake
(one of these times...)

 

[drainbamage]

Terrapin Wake n Bake
(one of these times...)

I don't think anyone's ever going to post it again, since it always gets guessed.

I'll go with Founder's Breakfast Stout.

 

[drummerguy]

No and no. It is a stout, though.

 

[TooDogly]

I don't think anyone's ever going to post it again, since it always gets guessed.

I'll go with Founder's Breakfast Stout.

I've never had any beers by them, me being on the west coast and all. Kinda jealous a little... but I can't complain.
One more crackpot guess: Deschutes Obsidian Stout. Don't know if you can even get that in VA.

 

[fleeba409]

dark horse plead the fifth

 

[bragona71]

that looks like the wooky jack I just ENJOYED

but I will say stone milk stout

Hell, I might be a lot closer, but I can't get Terrapin in my area either.

New Holland The Poet oatmeal stout?

 

[drummerguy]

No one has guessed it yet, but milk stout is the style.

Hint: It is a seasonal release that comes out in the winter.

 

[Brewtah]

Left Hand, Milk Stout

 

[TooDogly]

Southern Tier 2XStout

 

[drummerguy]

Nope. Again, it is a seasonal beer.

 

[TooDogly]

Fisherman's Imperial Pumpkin Stout

 

[jjw5015]

Moo hoo

 

[fleeba409]

smartmouth cowcatcher

 

[drummerguy]

Nobody has guessed it yet.

Hint 2: There is a base version of the beer, but this version has been aged in a barrel of some kind.

 

[chocotaco]

SingleCut - ERIC Rum Barrel-Aged More Cowbell

 

[drummerguy]

No, but I want to try that based only on the name.

 

[jjw5015]

Revolution Very Mad Cow

 

[drummerguy]

Nope. I'll have another hint later today.

 

[Brauer]

It's hardwood rum barrel GBS(gingerbread stout)
There are 3 versions
GBS
Christmas morning(on coffee beans)
And rum barrel GBS

 

[drummerguy]

You did forget one version (this one), but I'll give it to you. I'm not sure if the rules allow this, but saying anything else would give it away.

 

[Brauer]

So there are at least 4 versions of it then. Never had it but it must be good to make that many variations of the same beer.
I'll open it up to anyone with one ready. Have to go to work and can't crack a cold one.

 

[TooDogly]

I've got one

Sticking with the stout theme. This is a local beer with an adjunct, name the adjunct and brewery to win!

 

[edroberts]

Descutes The Abyss - Blackstrap Molasses
... except I remember it being darker...

 

[TooDogly]

Not Deschutes and not molasses.

 

[drummerguy]

Boneyard Beer Company - Backbone Chocolate Espresso Stout

 

[TooDogly]

not boneyard, and only one adjunct in it.

 

[Brauer]

Goodlife brewing company
Pass Stout
Franco-Belges Kiln Coffee

 

[TooDogly]

Not Goodlife, but the adjunct is coffee.

 

[TooDogly]

Hint: the brewery is not in Bend, but is still local, less than an hour from my house.

 

[chocotaco]

Cascade Lakes Electric Monkey

 

[TooDogly]

Nope, not in Redmond either. (I think that just gave it away)

 

[chocotaco]

Three Creeks Bullet Proof Coffee Stout

 

[TooDogly]

Busted!!!

Good beer, but coffee flavor has become more subdued since it's release last October. Still, a great value at $4.25

This collaboration with Sisters Coffee Roasters features 4 lbs per barrel of their Sumatra roast. The base beer is a big imperial stout brewed with 10 different malts and all Cascade hops. The final beer is dominated by rich coffee aroma and flavor when fresh but will allow the base stout to poke through as it ages. 8% abv
