What are you drinking now?

the FG sample from my imperial oatmeal coffee stout (pre-coffee). Smooth, tasty, definitely get that super thick mouthfeel from the oats. I think this should be great mixed with the coffee and carbed.

 

Legal malt beverages of various non-InBev vintage

 

One of our fine members, DangerRoss, handed this local gem to me at our post Darkness Day beer tasting. Thanks man!!


Really stellar IPA from a stand out brewery here in town.

 

RUM... Specifically Sailor Jerry! In honor of those lost from the HMS Bounty tragedy!

 

There's beer snobs, and then there's beer bitches. That's what you are. I've seen more great beer go through this thread in the last week that you somehow got your mitts on it just pisses me off! I would try to arrange a swap but I don't even know what I could come up with. All of our breweries around this coast have been selling out and distributing to punk ass right coasters so I can't even think of what to bring to the table. I hope you choke on that!

Not really lol. I'm getting serious beer envy over here though bud. And I am projecting a little because I was by a beer store going through a larger town, blew about $70 on beer and haven't liked one thing I picked up yet. Of course it could be because my homebrew is so good it sets an unreachable standard

 

Had Delirium Nocturnum for the first time, and now I wonder why. Then again, it's so close to Rochefort 8 in taste and price, that it isn't a big deal. Delicious either way.

 

That made my day, BB! I'm on a mission, to drink everything. Take solace in the fact that I envy you; I let my pipeline slack, didn't brew in Aug and Sept, and now have about 15 gals conditioning and not yet ready to drink. So it's commercial beer for me. I did drink the last bottle of a really awesome IPA that I brewed over the summer, 2 gal test batch that may have been my best IPA to date.
BTW, betcha there's some things out there in Cali that you could impress those of us in ,Midwest with.

 

Yeah we've got a few things.. I almost hate sending out Pliny at this point because there are equal beers out there that don't have half the hype. I almost wonder if Vinnie is putting less hops in it than he used to. I get it from the brewery, and the last 2 batches didn't seem nearly as dank as what I was getting before. Maybe I've just been screwed over by the lupulin shift.

 

Got a six pack of the Blue Moon Winter Abbey Ale. I had heard some negative reviews about it but I'm a fan.

 

Nice. I totally agree about PtE, very good, but it never really lived up to the hype for me, and the last couple times I've gotten it, it hasn't been impressive. Still good, still like it, and I have a buddy who flips $hit every time I have some. Same buddy can get me Huma Lupa Licious. :rockin:
And Cali has Firestone, that stuff is impressive beer. Everything I've had from them (Union, Double, and Wookey Jack, Parabola, §ucaba, Double DBA) has blown my mind.

 

+1 First time I had it was at GABF this year and it was good, but not as good as I was expecting. As I've said before, I usually put hard to find beer on a pedestal and my expectation is more than reality. There's definitely far better DIPAs out there, at least for me since I prefer a touch of sweetness in my DIPAs. That's why I'm excited to try KeyWestBrewing's Badfish IIPA, but I still have a week and some change before it's properly carb'd up.

 

Deschutes Twilight

 

anchor steam i cloned in honour of my neighbour's newborn son. it's a shame too...one of the best brew's I've done.

 

Grand Teton Brewing Company's Sweetgrass APA. A little hoppier than I expected. Very good!

 

Milwaukee's Best Ice. Still enjoy this stuff.

 

Saint Arnold oktoberfest on cask. Yum

 

Stone Ruination

 

Black IPA from jkellner29

 

Heady Toppah

 

Had some of my 60 shilling earlier. Stepped it up to my Wee Heavy. Brewed this one December of last year, and glad I still have a whole case left

 

Mad jeals, yo.

 

Pendle Witches Brew thanks to NordeastBrewer77...

 

SoCal Hang Loose Pale ale. Average but a good kind of average. Somewhat Toasty and juicy citrus. Kind a like a simple breakfast of toast and OJ.

 

I'm having another Samuel Adams "Cinder Bock." This is my 6th one so far (all time, not tonight...lol) and I can't get enough of this beer...LOVE it!!

I'm going to go get some more soon before it's all gone! ...time for me to start e-mailing my praise letters to Boston Brewing Co. to ask them to keep making it

 

My "Pumpkin Guts" Imperial Pumpkin Ale!

 

Such a great IPA!

 

I love that glass. Where can I get one?

 

Thanks, me too! I got it the last time I was up in Whistler! But, a quick search lets you purchase one from here! $4.95

 

Celt-Native Storm.Wales,UK bitter. I had similarites I recognized in my pale mild/bitters as I did with this but this is way more refined clean and smooth but I still think I like mine better

 

Dk ipa

 

Thats awesome.

 

Thanks! It tastes awesome.

 

Pretty solid black ale brewed up the interstate in Cold Spring, MN. Good stuff.

 

Guinness on nitro. I also had a Black Sack porter (Left Handed) earlier, but I'm not a fan. I'm going to the beer store tomorrow, and see if they have any Marshall El Cucuy, I hear its awesome.

 

Just finished a can of this fine Surly Furious...


another excellent beer from NordeastBrewer77

 

First time. Pretty good.

 

Ballast Point pale ale. Love that Ballast Point is 5 minutes from my house!

 

Tonight was a good night. Pliny and Brown Shugga' on tap at the lhbs, followed by a Lompoc Special Draft at home.

 

Too funny, I just finished one of those before pouring this:


A Kentucky common. Haven't found one of those since my days back before the Great War. :cross:

 

A bottle of imperial red ale loosely based on jamil's West Coast Blaster recipe. ::
