What are you drinking now?

[smartin73]

One of my guys gave me this, Kentucky bourbon barrel ale. It's a crazy 8.4%, smells like shot, tastes like one too. Interesting to say the least.

Wow! Just wow!

I drink michigan beer in illinois because illinois doesn't make anything good That I have tried. That and its hard to find anything 3 Floyds.

Revolution, Two Brothers, Goose Island(the stuff that's still brewed there). That's all good Illinois beer.
And Three Floyds is actually Indiana beer.
Sorry, just being a smarta$$

Yeah, I think interesting is what I would use to describe that one. I remember it tasting like a flavorless beer mixed with whiskey.

Some 15 year old Glenrothes Single Malt- neat

You're right. I type after a few brews, and stronger ones at that! I've only had a few from Revolution, and I was less than impressed. I've had Two Brothers everything. A buddy of mine works there. Ill retract my previous statement for Two Brothers and for the specialty line at Goose Island. Since GI was sold to budweiser, I have been very hesitant to give my money there. There's a few nano and micros in IL too, but you have to go there to get it, and I needed somehing quickfast for the Hawks game.

Yes, 3 Floyds is from Indiana. I love their beer. I just wish is was 5 miles to the west...

Bos Wildflower Mead. It's nice. Their black pepper mead has a quirky taste, which I can only take in rare doses.

I'm disappointed in the lack of good lagers in the craft brew scene. They all seem to be some ale of some sort. Don't get me wrong, I like ales, but sometimes you want a lager. German Oktoberfestbier is one of the finest beers I can have in the early autumn, and a pilsner, coupled with a piece of pan-fried haddock, and a homemade coleslaw, is a brilliant way to spend a hot summer's day; I went to the liquor store today, and I was awash in a sea of ales, white wines and Rum Chata. Nothing special in the lager camp, though.

By the way, Bos is a Madison-based meadery. Keepin' it local, as I will with the one interesting lager I did find today - a Capital Brewery offering.

Hop Stoopid ... have to say, I'm not too impressed with it

Honestly not much of a Lagunitas fan.. gave them another chance with this, but wish I woulda got something else.

 

[paliessmann]

Next cuvee de jacobins.... awesome sour

Yeah that stuff is fantastic! Wish I had one right now

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Dessert!

 

[g-love]

I have a bottle in my cellar I've been saving for a trade, but nobody seemed interested. I'm thinking I might crack it open, unless, you know, someone wants to trade...

Drink it. It's good.

 

[Nunner]

Drink it. It's good.

I agree drink it, if you wanna trade I can get you a replacement easy

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Nice! I'm supposed to be getting one from Nizzle. I can't wait!

I think you will enjoy it. Nice IPA base and the bourbon aging comes through in the aroma and flavor.

Sure wish the mobile app had a like, you guys have been drinking some good beers today. Did a Homebrew fest / fundraiser today and Scott Jennings from Sierra Nevada picked my funky blackberry stout as his prize winning beer out of 100+! 7 year vertical of Bigfoot starting 05 and tons of Sierra schwag. My head is practically floating my body off the ground right now!

Congrats and Prost! Awesome to get that kind of feedback!

Nice! I was at a Hooker Brewing tour recently where we got to try a beer from the fermenter. I don't know what Zhukov is, but if you're mentioning it in this context then it's probably something special.

Zhukov is an insanely good RIS. Grab as much as you can if it is on the shelves when you're there.

 

[DaNewf]

Homebrew Double Chocolate Milk Stout I partial mashed based of a Cooper's Original Series Stout kit.

I'm down to 3 750ml bottles of this stuff now. It's OK but I won't be repeating the recipe exactly (if at all).

 

[brewcephus]

Home brewed Chinook IPA.

a little displeased with this one, honestly. it was really good and hoppy after 1 week in the bottles, but now its lost most of its hoppy aroma and flavor. oh well, going to drink it anyways. the beer is still good, just not quite as hoppy as it once was..

I know this stuff is awesome!! I had it on tap in Pittsburgh. So I grabbed their last bottle off the shelf. I don't know how often FW makes to PGH shelves, but I don't make my way down that way too often anyway. So, it's not too often that I get a beer that is worthy of trade bait, so I thought I might trade it for something I can't get round these parts. Just thought I'd be nice and share my riches. But if yinz guys want me to enjoy it, I'm not gonna argue too much!!

My red rice wine. It stalled, so it looks like a strawberry smoothie, but it tastes good.

 

[tyzippers]

Definitely drink it.

Ok. My arm has officially been twisted.

My APA vs. Grand Teton Brewing Co. Sweetgrass APA. Mines 62 IBU and 5.6%. And GTBC APA is 60 IBU and 6.0%.



Both have a huge hop nose and huge hop start and finish. Thought I would share.

Thats the spirit! Drink it and let me know if you want some more! Promise I wont charge to too much more for being a Pittsburgh fan. (Born in Philly)

Pretty much my exact thought.
