What are you drinking now?

..Stone Ruination. Good stuff.

Before that I had the last one of the 3 bottles of Chimay I got in that sampler pack. The Blue one. Wow. Smooth for all that alcohol. I'll bet that one would have been so much better aged. I liked it, btu the white was BY FAR my favorite of the 3. No contest. Ever since I had that white one, I've been trying to find a recipe similar to it so I can brew it this summer. That was outstanding.

Is the white one the Trippel? I can never remember

I like the Trippel the best.

I'm drinking a glass of my Porter I call Porterhouse 2. Can't be much of it left...

Breckenridge American Hefe Proper. Right before that Pyramid's Hefe Weizen. IMHO the Breck wins. (altho, now that I think about it it probably wasn't a fair comparison) Regardless, I'm 2 for 2 with Breckenridge. (Did you get to try that Vanilla Porter yet Dude?)

Thanks for the heads up on the Chimay... I may go it in reverse order and save the White for last! :drunk:

No....I need to arrange a beer swap with some of you guys!

my honey ale and I have discovered that I have achieved a very light beer. Not a whole lot of hop character or malt profile. My wife likes it a lot so it is a success. I carbonated it much higher than all my other brews and it is kinda cool watching the bubbles rise.
OK it is a success but something I won't be drinking on a regular basis. I made my wife happy and that was it's intended purpose anyway.
I will have to try an ice cold one after mowing the lawn however. :mug:

Only problem I have now is that the honey ale is the only home brew I've got that is drinkable.

EDIT: I better throw that IHA into the fridge and carbonate it soon!

Moylan's Hopsickle. I need to do a side-by-side of this one and Moylan's Double IPA. They are both of Imperial strength, and both highly hopped. I think the Hopsickle is a little more malty sweet, while the IIPA is in your face hops. If I tasted it by itself, I would say it's an IIPA, but on the label it only says " Imperial Ale." Maybe it's in a grey area between Imperial Pale Ale and Imperial IPA? Who cares! It tastes good!:rockin::rockin::rockin:

Avery New World Porter. trying to broaden my horizons a bit so I took a chance on Avery since I've heard good things about them. A nice toasted flavor to it, not too bad for a porter! After reading the label I found out it's dry hopped. Anyone know what kind of hops they use?

Now I'm washing it down with a SN Bigfoot Ale. Mmmmm....lightheaded.

SwAMi75 · Apr 28, 2006

Boulevard wheat. It's a little on the sour side. Nothing to write home about, but not too shabby.

Damn! Can you bring me a sixer of that back? I have Hop Rod to trade.

Walker · Apr 28, 2006

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.

Sure. Hell, I'd even be willing to trade case-for-case, straight up.

Brewsmith · May 3, 2006

A bottle of North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. It's great. Roasty, but not too bitter, enough hops to balance it out, and alcohol to warm it up. After all this moving crap it's really getting me relaxed

. My clone from Beer Captured is pretty close, not as high in ABV due to not enough sparging and a little less on the roasty side. Maybe another ounce of roasted barley would do the trick.

Dude · Sep 18, 2006

Ahhh....I've got a New Glarus Hopfest I found in the back of the fridge. First beer of MANY tonight. Just found out SWMBO is deploying again in January.

What's everyone else got tonight?

Chairman Cheyco · Sep 18, 2006

A raging hangover from the double-brew yesterday and SWMBO's Dad's 60th party the night before. That being said, I'm drinking one of Sasquatch's Pilseners. :drunk:

puravida286 · Sep 18, 2006

I'm in my night accounting class right now. I have a variety 12 of Magic Hat along with sam adams octoberfest waiting for me at home. I'm a big fan of the Jinx seasonal brew in the new magic hat variety pack.

Dude · Sep 18, 2006

Oh man....brew #2 tonight is a bomber of Legend Imperial IPA. Good God...when this brewery does a beer right, it rocks. This one is in my all time top 10.

RichBrewer · Sep 18, 2006

I'm heading for the fridge before kick off. I think I'll pour a tall McDermott's tonight for starters.

BrewProject · Sep 18, 2006

Drinking some Pumpkin Ale homebrew and some Cherry Wheat homebrew..., and watching the game !!!

The pumpkin is outstanding. nice mellow pumpkin flavor with a nice hoppy taste... :mug:

I'm getting big time aroma from this beer. I get the obvious citrus, but pear and even a hint of something like currant or blackberry. Pretty cool.

I love this beer.

I'm drinking everything that's not tied down. MIL arrived last Wednesday and is redoing the house.

Oh yeah!

HOWEVER--the last Arrogant Bastard I had--it was terrible. I'm hoping it was just an old or bad beer. I fthey changed the recipe, I'm seriously bummed.

I'm afraid to buy it again.

Ize · Sep 18, 2006

Trying to forget this sh#%%y day....

Just finished a Coopers Dark Ale. Good Beer. Right before that, SN Porter... hated it... I love Porter, hated this. Didn't like the hopiness. Oh well. Blue Ridge Subliminator Dopplebock is on deck...

You know what's even better?

SWMBO loves it, too.

She's coming along for the ride to Hopheadistein with me...

Dude · Sep 18, 2006

I just finished the second to last Hop Rod Rye in the fridge, now SWMBO and I are splitting a Lindemann's Cassis. GAWD this stuff is great.

I am buzzing like a mofo right now.

Walker · Sep 18, 2006

Right now I'm drinking a Titch's Wit, but what's important is that this is the first beer I've had outside of a social/meal situation in almost 1 month.

GUYS! I'M OFF THE WAGON AGAIN! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

:mug:

That reminds me... can you bring me a 6er of that when you come down? I'll trade you a 6er of Gaelic Ale.
