What are you drinking now?

Drinking a Palo Santo Marron and then calling it a night. Got A LOT of drinking coming this weekend. Possibly hanging with a friend that usually entails 10 hour sessions.

 

How was it? I saw it and passed. Not a huge fruity fan but if done right...epic

 

Just had long hammer ipa with my jimmy johns samich

 

Best way to describe it. Take and IPA and smooth it out. I didn't get much fruity notes, but smells like a brown

 

coffee and ibu after a long happy hour last night at the best Rock Bottom in the US. Rick does such a great job with his brews; the high-octane oatmeal stout and super-clean ESB rocked!

 

Jester King's Black Metal Stout. Good Sh!t

 

Jaded Dog's all Amarillo IPA. I am only going to have 15 more and then I am going to bed.

 

Hmmmmmm - yummy

 

How much did that bottle cost you? It was $20 per bottle at a local restaurant here. It was good, but not THAT good.

 

Are you asking me or the post above?

 

Prolly not me but...

$10 my local solid bottle shop - totally worth it

 

I was asking you about the Bourbon Ale

 

Or I should say Brrrbon ale

 

$8.99

 

Damn, I got ripped off. I would pay $8.99 for it though.

 

I homebrewed IIPA - it tastes like a pine tree and I love it!

 

Sierra Nevada Norther Hemisphere

 

Homebrew Sidekick IPA as I watch the sidekick wearing #6 on the Miami Heat get pounded by the Spurs!

750 of Dogfish Squall bottle conditioned 90 minute IPA...VERY tasty. I love my beer guy Scored 2007 and 2009 to go w/ my 2010 of Real Ale's Sisyphus Barleywine at a vertical tasting today. Those will go nicely with the Lagunitas Ole Gnarleywine and Stone Old Guardian for my birthday Sunday...how does barleywine pair with fresh crabs?

Followed the Squall with my Saccharomyces' Belgian Pale Ale while a sample of my week in the bottle Devil's Punchbowl Golden Strong chills...if it lives up to the snuck tastes this will be a damn fine brew

 

Go Spurs Go!!!

 

Ommegang three philosophers


Scores ommegang and bell's samplers at the distributors today, it's going to be a good weekend

 

Who's your beer guy?

 

Robert at Gabriel's @ Blanco and 1604 in SA. He is a homebrewer of 30 years and opened the first true beer store in L.A. Very knowledgeable, loves to talk beer, and saves the good stuff he only gets in small quantities (like everything I listed above ) for his best customers who bother to talk to him and sign up for his e-mail list. He has cellared the Sisyphus since release and did not mark it up for the vertical. He even brought in samples of the missing 08 from his own collection so we had 4 years for the tasting.

 

Odonata Saison.. Went to Whole foods today on the way home and picked up a couple things I haven't tried yet. This one, Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, and Deschutes Hop Henge.

This Saison is really good... I'm a sucker for a good Saison.

 

Probably the WORST beer I have drank in a long time. SWMBO says she gets the Bourbon notes/woodsy. To me it comes across as Blue Cheese and is making me gag. I am tempted to pour it out.

 

Tried Boulevard's Tank 7 Farmhouse Saison today...WOW!!! Very tasty with subtle belgian character and a nice malt backbone but dry finish. I think I turned a co-worker on to great beer with it too I told him if he liked that he will love mine!!!

BTW, Hop Stoopid kicks ass :rockin:

 

I didn't think it was too bad. Definitely not the best representation of a bourbon-based beer.

However, I would drink it again.

 

Funny you should say that, that's what I'm drinking now
And yes, I totally agree... The name is fitting - awesome stuff.

 

Jolly pumpkin firefly

 

My AG Sam Adams Cream Stout clone.

 

Summit Unchained beer #5 Imperial Pumpkin Porter - great beer.

 

Bell's Cherry Stout. Not good, not bad, just really different. I think I'll sample another and let it warm up even more.

 

Ranger IPA

 

Fredericksburg Brewing Co.'s Giant RIS...chocolate, espresso, boozy goodness

 

I'm drinking an awesome IPA I made a month ago.!

 

Schlafly Biere de Garde

 

Birkshire Vanilla Porter...very high drinkability...I could easily go through a sixer (maybe more) of this.

 

My Belgian Dark Strong brewed 4/14/2010. One is enough.

 

Wow......lots of stuff. MCchouffe, Ayinger Celebrator, homebrewed belgian quad, homebrewed stout, and if all that runs out, homemade graff straight from the fermenter
