Sound off: Commercial beer you're digging

[pilot210]

Great Divide Claymore Scotch Ale for me...nice!

 

[MattHollingsworth]

Some nice beers listed! Luckily I've had most of them. Good for inspiration!

 

[tspilker]

ITT: I realized I don't drink enough beer anymore.

 

[wrestler63]

Stone IPA and Great Divides IPA.....

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Anything from New Glarus Brewing. And Oso Brewing is pretty damn good too. You can only get either of them in WI, so if you don't live here, well, then your life is that much more sucky than mine. Neener, neener, neener........

Been on a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA and Southern Tier IPA kick lately.

 

[SankePankey]

Lagunitas Imperial Porter was yummy.

Ommegang Ommegeddon Saison. Nice.

+1 Noble Pils

and

Rogue Dirtois Black Lager. My first black lager. Great.

 

[BigB]

Bass Ale and Sam Adams Boston Lager. What suprises me about the Sam is that I used to hate the stuff, now I order that if Bass isn't served.

 

[ILuvIPA]

Great Lakes Admiral Perry
Dark Horse Crooked Tree
Mendocino White Hawk

Been drinking Shiner Frost and 101 lately. Enjoying both of them.

 

[CanaltownBrewer]

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout...indescribably delicious.

Troegs Nugget Nectar is outstanding with its fresh, hoppy goodness right now.

I have also been enjoying some of the Dale's Pale Ale in the can. There is still something intriguing about decent craft beer in a can.

 

[chemman14]

SN Porter. I got a case for $14.99 because it was "outdated". It tastes sooo much better aged anyway!



FWIW, I can't decipher the date code, so I really don't know how "old" it is.

it should just say bottled on and then the regular date on the top of the case

Saranac Imperial IPA

 

[sp1365]

Right now I am digging Fuller's London Porter and Sierra Nevada Stout. Also Goose Island Matilda is a pretty good beer that I wish I had more of.

 

[gtpro]

Drinking a Southampton Altbier, my first of this style.

 

[PaintAddict]

Surly Furious by far the best Ive ever had! Lucky i live in Minneapolis so i can get it anytime.

 

[PhelanKA7]

Dogfish Head Midas Touch.

From the packaging:

Deep inside this tumulus at Gordion in Central Turkey, University of Pennsylvania Museum archaelogoists excavated what is quite possibly the tomb of the real King Midas, who inspired the legend.

The secrets of the 2700-year-old beverage were unlocked by a Molecular Archaeologist at the Penn Museum, who analyzed residues from the largest Iron Age drinking set ever found.

Handcrafted Ancient Ale with barley, honey, white muscat grapes & saffron.

Way too compelling to pass up. It is very sweet and syrupy. If it had been made with rock candy instead of honey I could swear it would be a Belgian Tripel. If you don't mind a mead-like sweetness, and want something with a bit more body than mead it's a very good beer. At 9% it's got a kick to it too, but it's deceptively strong.

Since it's Olympic season I'll give it an 8.3/10. It's a sweet and bubbly figure skater that is far too emotional to grasp the technical fundamentals of her sport, but makes up for it with heartfelt effort. I'd watch it again for the sexy outfit.

Been drinking mostly well-done, easy-drinking, sessionable beers lately. Stoked that the local shops all now seem to be carrying Dale's Pale Ale. Been kicking Lefthand's Sawtooth Ale. Stone Levitation, although as much as I love Stone, it's a notch below those two.

 

[celticcolorado]

Sam Adams Imperial Stout

 

[beerjunky828]

I have been on an ipa kick. I used to drink the hell out of two hearted when bells first came to NC. I haven't had one in about 6 mos. So I bought a pint at the bar and damn that is one good ipa. I have been digging this stuff since. Kind of makes me want to go back and try some other beers that I have not had in a while. I have really been on a homebrew kick and money is tight now

 

[aliu630]

Sam Adam's Noble Pils. Pleasantly surprised by this beer. Wish it was easier to find.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Stone's vertical epic 090909.

Pricey, but SOOOOOOOO yummy.

 

[ssinclair]

My fav session is Dos XX special lager

 

[robtotten]

I've been going through a lot of SA Noble Pils the past few weeks, man that stuff is good. I also had a Unibroue sampler over the weekend and a 4 pack of La Fin Du Monde. I love all their brews except Ephemere or whatever that apple stuff is. I usually don't like overly sweet beers, but I think Ephemere is too dry to pull off that sour apple flavor.

 

[Goosta]

New Belgium's Mighty Arrow. Just finished off a 6 pack. I'll be honest it tasted a lot better to me after I read the description.

 

[Lodovico]

Sam Adams Noble Pils

Southern Tier Unearthly

 

[Brewing Clamper]

My Bowling league team has been digging on some Kona Longboard and Firerock the last few weeks. Pretty good stuff, you know, for Hawaiian brew.. ;-)

 

[permo]

I don't drink many commercial brews anymore, primarily I will by one to see if I want to brew something in a similar style.

Widmer Bros Deadlift IPA (imperial), Rogue Shakespear Stoute and Chimay Blue where my last three.

Widmer Deadlift was great, 8+ ABV but IBU's were oddly low for the style (70?), and no dry hop. I enjoyed the drinkability aspect of it, I am brewing a double IPA in a similar fashion now, with no dry hop but intense hop flavors.

Rogue Shakespear Stoute - thought he stout was a bit thin, i loved the biterness from the american hops though. Cultured the yeast but not brewing a similar beer

Chimay - my first taste of trappist ale. I am fascinated with this beer. I have since cultured the yeast, ordered grain and made dark candi sugar for a clone.

 

[XXguy]

My fav session is Dos XX special lager

Try the AHS clone of Dos Equis - I think you'll like it!

Right now - going through a case of Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale. I like it. Nicely done, nice balance, easy drinking.
