Awesome. Love that stuff, and so does the lady of the house. She never finishes a whole bottle of it, though (she's not good with high alcohol beers), so I get to drink the rest every time!

Okay, here's mine. I'll give harder/easier hints depending on how the first round of guessing goes.

EDIT: Also, looking for the specific beer. Forgot to say that.

 

[CorporateHippie]

Barley Wine?

 

[JordanKnudson]

No, but not SUPER far off, exactly. And sorry, I forgot to say, I'm looking for the specific beer (my bad for not mentioning that...edited the original post to reflect this)

 

[chocotaco]

Is it >= 10% ABV?

 

[JordanKnudson]

It is not, but it is still considered strong.

 

[chocotaco]

Is it designated as some multiple of IPA?

 

[JordanKnudson]

No, although you could perhaps make the argument that it is one.

 

[chocotaco]

Is it Double Bastard?

 

[JordanKnudson]

It is not (I think I actually did that one not too long ago). However, you are quite warm.

 

[CorporateHippie]

something from STONE then?

 

[JordanKnudson]

Yes, from Stone

 

[chocotaco]

Is it a Stone seasonal release, or a Stone special release?

 

[chocotaco]

Lucky Bastartd?

 

[JordanKnudson]

Lukcy Basartd indeed! A blend of Arrogant Bastard, Double Bastard, and Oaked Bastard.
...Bastard.

Well, I guess I have to drink a beer now! What a lucky bastertd am I!

I have a homebrew to post when I get home from work, since my new year's resolution (which I'm starting early) is to not buy any bottles of beer in 2015. Therefore it will be a style/adjunct game.

Note that I said BOTTLES, not cans or draft. It may be weasely, but I want to allow myself to go out for beers or buy something that Modern Times might release in the can without breaking my resolution. It's still a humdinger of a resolution. For example, I won't be having any Grapefruit Sculpin unless someone gives me some (hint, hint)

 

[chocotaco]

Here it is. Style and adjunct.

It is a bit lighter than the pic would suggest.

 

[JordanKnudson]

I'll guess a hefe with...oranges

 

[CorporateHippie]

rye saison

 

[chocotaco]

I'll guess a hefe with...oranges

You've guessed my Hefeweizenberg. Good guess, but no.

 

[chocotaco]

rye saison

Closer

 

[JordanKnudson]

You've guessed my Hefeweizenberg. Good guess, but no.

Hehe, I'm just impressed with myself that I guessed a beer that you actually brew! Totally a fluke!

So, back to the game... Is rye the adjunct?

 

[CorporateHippie]

Rye-P-A

 

[chocotaco]

Adjunct is not a grain.

 

[CorporateHippie]

saison with rosemary

 

[chocotaco]

Adjunct is not an herb.
