time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

Rodenbach Grand Cru

(I remember it being redder than that pic, but the bar where I drank it was dimly lit, so the color was hard to make out.)

Winner! What did you think of it? I was pretty let down...tasted like a sour grape popsicle. The flavoring almost seemed artificial.

Full disclosure: I'm not a huge sour fan, so I'm maybe not the best person to ask. I do still try them on occasion to see if I find my "gateway beer". The regular Rodenbach is just the right amount of tartness that I could consider refreshing, but yeah, I found the Grand Cru was a bit off.

Next up, brewery and beer:

Dirtwolf

 

[chocotaco]

Bell's Hopslam

 

[Zekk]

Nugget Nectar?

 

[drainbamage]

It is an IPA, but not the ones guessed.

 

[chocotaco]

Stone / Baird / Ishii Japanese Green Tea IPA

 

[drainbamage]

Stone is the brewery, but wrong beer. I do love the Green Tea IPA though.

 

[chocotaco]

Stone Delicious IPA

 

[drainbamage]

Stone Delicious IPA

You got it! And here I figured "an IPA by Stone" would still keep this going for a few hours.

Bit of cross referencing narrowed it down... elementary

I'll put it up for grabs this time.

Heh, I'm no savant... pretty average in terms of beer knowledge (with respect to HBT anyway).

But you'll notice that everything I guessed is currently or was recently on tap at Flipdaddy's Union. Any time I get it right it's a combination of luck and google-fu.

Edit: And knowing where to look for clues besides from OP.

 

[bragona71]

chacotaco put this up for grabs! anyone have one ready?

 

[drummerguy]

I'll try to keep the game going. Beer and brewery, please.

 

[TooDogly]

Terrapin Wake n Bake
(one of these times...)

Terrapin Wake n Bake
(one of these times...)

I don't think anyone's ever going to post it again, since it always gets guessed.

I'll go with Founder's Breakfast Stout.

 

[drummerguy]

No and no. It is a stout, though.

 

[TooDogly]

I've never had any beers by them, me being on the west coast and all. Kinda jealous a little... but I can't complain.
One more crackpot guess: Deschutes Obsidian Stout. Don't know if you can even get that in VA.

 

[fleeba409]

dark horse plead the fifth

 

[bragona71]

Hell, I might be a lot closer, but I can't get Terrapin in my area either.

New Holland The Poet oatmeal stout?

 

[drummerguy]

No one has guessed it yet, but milk stout is the style.

Hint: It is a seasonal release that comes out in the winter.

 

[Brewtah]

Left Hand, Milk Stout

 

[TooDogly]

Southern Tier 2XStout

 

[drummerguy]

Nope. Again, it is a seasonal beer.

 

[TooDogly]

Fisherman's Imperial Pumpkin Stout

 

[jjw5015]

Moo hoo
