My first beer back from Haiti

[jacksonbrown]

I juts got back from 8 days in Haiti last night. I was documenting the work of Wisconsin doctors who have been going there for years on medical missions. Phenomenal country and amazing people.
The local drink there is Prestige, a Pilsner-Vienna cross. Pretty tasty and simply wonderful after a long day of shooting in the sun.

A couple days before I got back I emailed my wife and asked that she get me a x-pack of one specific beer to have waiting cold for me when I got home. Which one was it?

 

[shortyjacobs]

She got you an X-pack? I don't get it, there are no Roman beer choices on the poll....must be a mistake.

I love me a good VI-pack of Avgvstvs The Yovnger.

 

[david_42]

Since you are obviously not a hophead, I voted for the Stone.

 

[jacksonbrown]

I thought of saying whether it was a 6-pack or 4-pack but decided that was too much info. So I said x-pack (not X-pack, that would Roman).

 

[NorCalAngler]

Hmmm, I wonder if he put x-pack because some beers *Dogfish Head* come in 4 packs. I voted for the Stone Porter, but now I'm leaning toward the Dogfish.

 

[shortyjacobs]

I can see my BS in Sarcasm is wasted here....sigh...

Oh well, I voted for Pliny. I have no idea what you got, but I've never tried Pliny. So I voted for Pliny. Pliny.

I voted for Two Hearted because I know I would be in the mood for a nice hoppy beer after a week of drinking a pils-type beer, but after looking at the brews in your sig I think you probably went for a malty beer.

 

[passedpawn]

naw, he was jones'n for the hops. I went with the bells.

Anyone read Hemmingway's Big Two-Hearted river. When you come back, you have to go the the big two-hearted river. C'mon.

 

[Homercidal]

Had to be the Bells. Anyone who has ever had one will be craving it after a few days of hops celibacy.

Goin' with Sam Smith

 

[goose1873]

I had to go bell's b/c I love IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dave1984]

Since you're in Madison I gotta go with the spotted cow! And it's my fav

 

[brewagentjay]

Going with Good Old Fat Tire? (only wish it was the orginal Fat Tire before too commerical and went cheap on ingredients.)

 

[jacksonbrown]

Bells ahead by a long shot so far. Keep em coming, I like reading what people think and why. No votes for Hopalicious yet, guess there are not many Madisonians here.

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

SS Oatmeal Stout. Very different from what you had there, you seem to like dark beers based on your sig, and SS Oatmeal Stout is common/old enough to be considered 'comfort food...er beer'. After being away for a while I can see someone just craving a 'comfort beer'.

 

[jacksonbrown]

40 votes so far. I'll post the answer at 50.

 

[bosco_NJ]

went w/ New Glarus since you're from WI.

 

[Sedge]

Well since you can't get pliny in packs (or at all in WI if my memory serves), and since you're a WI guy, I'm going with New Glarus

 

[jacksonbrown]

Well since you can't get pliny in packs (or at all in WI if my memory serves)...

I was wondering when someone would pick up on that one. Good catch.

My sig seems to be pretty deceiving these days since I am a hop head for sure. I was on a hoppy beer bender for a while and had to switch it up to malty to sort of clear my palette.
After getting home and taking the most wonderful shower ever I was elated to sit down to a delicious glass of 90 min IPA. It was like heaven in a glass and all I could think about during the 12 hours of travel on Sunday (don't tell SWMBO).

We took a survey on the sub during a 59 day operation and fresh milk won.
