Bigfoot Barleywine; Sierra Nevada

no sir. I did have the 2010 vs 2015 Bigfoot the other day though, great beer!

 

[Zekk]

Sierra Nevada Narwhal?

 

[bragona71]

going out on a limb here.. ruski noir?

 

[DarthCitra]

no and no. this is much lighter in color than both of those.
Props on the Ruski Noir though! i live around the corner from beach city brewery.

 

[jjw5015]

Something from Green Flash?

 

[DarthCitra]

no sir

 

[bragona71]

Dam!! I thought "local" was the hint.

ok is it considered a "specialty beer" at total wine?

 

[DarthCitra]

its going to always be kept in the cooler due to this brewery's rules.

 

[bragona71]

heady?

 

[DarthCitra]

I wish i could buy that at Total wine! lol I'll give another hint in a bit.

 

[drainbamage]

SN Hop Hunter

 

[DarthCitra]

nope

 

[bragona71]

stone imperial Russian stuot

 

[DarthCitra]

My picture must have terrible lighting so i'll go with another hint:
This was aged in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels

 

[edroberts]

Russian River Consecration ... had to look up which was on Cab.

 

[DarthCitra]

Let the riddles begin Ed

[edroberts]

This is one of my favorites, even though it was a one time offering. It won Gold in 2010.

 

[chocotaco]

Black Market Rye IPA

 

[drainbamage]

Frog's Hollow Double Pumpkin Ale

 

[DarthCitra]

Norm’s Raggedy-Ass IPA?

 

[edroberts]

Frogs Hollow... good pumpkin beer, but no.
Also a no on the IPAs.

 

[DarthCitra]

Behemoth- FFF?

 

[bragona71]

In which competition did it win gold?

 

[edroberts]

Hint 2: Brewed where the chinook winds blow... which is what makes its the hail capital of the world.

 

[edroberts]

In which competition did it win gold?

North American Beer Awards - Madera

 

[DarthCitra]

Roggenbier golden city brewery

 

[edroberts]

I guess it would be more specific to say xylography played a role.

 

[bragona71]

is it from alberta brewing company?

 

[edroberts]

is it from alberta brewing company?

Not Alberta.
3 clues.

 

[chocotaco]

Odell Brewing Woodcut #3

 

[edroberts]

Odell Brewing Woodcut #3

Yeah... I realized after I posted that I would really need to give away some clues on this one. Xylography is the art of making Woodcuts.

The entire Woodcut line is outstanding... (apart from #5 which had some bottling issues). Wish I could get Odell here in Indiana.

 

[bragona71]

I bow to choco once again..I was stuck on the Chinook and hail. nice work

 

[chocotaco]

Yep, xylography was the giveaway.

 

[chocotaco]

I don't have something to post, so whoever guesses the style from the following clue will be up.

I'm thinking of a style of beer that is commonly known by 3 different names. Two of these names are silly. What is the style (you can use one of the silly names and still get credit)

 

[Viktor_Von_Doom]

Wee Heavy

 

[chocotaco]

Wee Heavy

Nope.

Hint: One of the names is silly because it is an oxymoron.

 

[DarthCitra]

This one has me stumped
Schwarzbier is definitely a silly name to me.

 

[chocotaco]

This one has me stumped
Schwarzbier is definitely a silly name to me.

Nope.

Hint: The other silly name is silly because it's politically loaded.

Comment: By using "silly", I don't mean comical. I'm trying to refrain from using insulting words, so I use "silly" in place of something like "eyeroll-inducing" or "lame".

 

[chocotaco]

Sorry, I really thought this would be super quick. Didn't mean to draw it out or make a statement or anything like that. I'll just start throwing out hints.

Hint: There is a hop that shares the root of its name with the root of one of the names that I have claimed is "silly."

Comment: I'm not trying to comment that anything is empirically lame. I hope I'm not offending anyone. I just wanted to do a fun riddle in the spirit of the game without having a beer pic to post.
