What are you drinking now?

[bottlebomber]

21st Amendment Black IPA. Yep, I am drinking an IPA. The world does end in 2012.

I had one tonight. The malt profile was perfect, the hop profile was nothing special.

Working my way through a growler of Bear Republic's Black Racer (black IPA). Light dark flavors but noticeable and squarely in the IPA realm. As good as Racer X, in my opinion.

 

[WesleyS]

I guess I'll take care of the whole night all at once.
Shiner Oktoberfest bottle
Alaskan Amber draft
Blacksmith (Guinness atop Smithwicks) draft

Old faithful, this beer never disappoints. Kegged my "as close as it gets" clone this morning.

 

[odinsgift]

Motel beer. After my Akvavit and Figueroa Mountain Hoppy Poppy IPA liter with dinner.

Trader Joe's Black Toad. This beer is unbeatable for the price. I spent 6 bucks for a beer that has a nice, deep, roasted malt profile with outstanding smoothness and proper balance.

2012 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale

So much better than I remember!!

 

[thisoneguy]

Bell's Third Coast Old Ale (most recent release). Delicious!

Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Pale Ale

I had one of those last night. Love that beer.

 

[yummybeer]

Leinenkugal's Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest is my favorites beer style, so I'm drinking it while it's still in the stores. I can then brew it other times of the year when it's not available in the store.

 

[jerryteague]

I couldn't help myself! I opened my other bottle of El Cucuy India Black Ale. This stuff is definately in my top 5 beers. I'm gonna have a few of my HB'ed pale ales later.

 

[nukebrewer]

Home brew pumpkin ale as I heat sparge water for the Irish red I'm brewing for SWMBO and catch up on the The Walking Dead thread. 29 more pages to go!

Oh....that's a homebrew...Ashy Penny Belgian Wit

 

[bmwmunk]

Sierra Nevada Stout

 

[bottlebomber]

Oh....that's a homebrew...Ashy Penny Belgian Wit

Quite a handsome brew there

 

[Qhrumphf]

Finally found this in a can. Love this beer when it's not lightstruck.

 

[sweed]

Ya, my chocolate stout... 1 day in the bottle, lol.

 

[nukebrewer]

Just got the boil to a point where I feel confident it won't boil over based on my use of FerCapS, so I poured myself a Badfish IIPA.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Clown Shoes Hoppy Feet ... the bite on this one goes well with the bitterness in my mouth from yet another heartbreaking Browns loss...

Love that beer. Have you had a chance to try HF 1.5?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

It is excellent. No to the 1.5 - my local store just started carrying CS so hopefully the will expand the offerings.

 

[nukebrewer]

Yeah, hopefully. My local store doesn't carry it either. Between two different stores where my in-laws live I've seen all their brews except the Pecan Pie Ale, which I am dying to try. I came up with a pecan pie ale recipe and when I searched to see if it had been done before, Clown Shoes came up. And thus began my love affair with this brewery. They're in Boston, so I should go visit them some time.

 

[govner1]

Balvenie Doublewood for starters, then Heretic Evil Cousin & Shallow Grave.

 

[atimmerman88]

Ahhhh but its only HB IPA in that bottle

 

[j1laskey]

I am local to those guys if you guys want to try something let me know.

Nice! I want to try the Pecan Pie Ale. That's a seasonal, right?
