What are you drinking now?

[Piratwolf]

Sierra Nevada celebration ale.

First, let me say I'd been drinking for 2-3 hours prior...
But...
I was totally underwhelmed by this year's SN Celebration! Anyone else?

 

[WesleyS]

I'll do you one better. I'll bring a couple with me when I come to Houston to visit family for the holidays so you can compare. Probably won't be ready to drink by that time, but you'll have it in hand at least.

Sounds great! I'll still have some left I'm sure so you can take a couple of mine.

Jacksnap IPA

 

[WesleyS]

SN Torpedo. This is the first time I've had this one. Very good!

It comes in a can?

Speaking of Torpedo, I was so freaking pissed at the restaurant SWMBO and I went to tonight. All their menu said was "Sierra Nevada" so I asked what SN they had. The chick says, "the pale ale, the IPA." I got all excited thinking they might have Torpedo, so I asked her to clarify if it was the pale ale or the IPA. Her reply was that they're the same.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

I may get stabbed for this one...

I've contemplated stabbing someone over Firestone before, thought the better of it at the time, but I've always regretted that decision.



Not my favorite, but my local shop was out of Tramp Stamp, Sumpin' Wild and Belgo. I looked at the Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen, tempting, but I wasn't sure. Anyone had that one? Any good?

This is the first time I've seen it here in a can. I picked it over the bottles if for anything just to be different.
You gotta love uninformed/unhelpful wait staff when it comes to beer.

I actually enjoyed that one but, like you said, not my favorite. I'll have to try tramp stamp. That is if I can find a bottle from 2012 around here. I had bought what I later found to be an old bottle of hoppy feet. I returned to the store and all their clown shoes beer was old and I told the "beer guy" for that location about it. He was an idiot that didn't understand that a bottling date of 8/2011 was old for an IPA. He said " Atleast that's the bottling date and not the brewing date." What!? Oh well, I'll keep looking. The store has locations all over town. I pass by Atleast ten a day so there's bound to be one that turns over stock on clown shoes faster.

I might be able to bring some fresh Clown Shoes with me. Let me know if I should bother.

Homemade American brown ale

 

[TNGabe]

Breakfast stout





Had a few tonight, homebrew saison, hb stout, bruery saison de lente, and Gavroche all shared with my wife.

Not Firestone, but in general I've thought that there are some beers worth stabbing over. Surly anything comes to mind. Heady Topper is also up there, but that is much more accessible to me, so I'll just drive up there to get it under the pretense that we're going to visit family.

 

[SmokingGunn]

I'm sampling a few things tonight that I've never had. On the menu:

1. NOLA Brown Ale
2. Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar
3. Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale
4. Bulleit Rye Whiskey

Definitely try a fresh Stamp, it's good, fruity, hoppy. Definitely worth it.

The Topper is another one I'd think about committing stabicide over. Love that stuff.

Not quite at the stab-eriffic level, but a d@mn good black IPA.

That thai basil saison sounds very interesting. What's in it?

Parallel 49 "Ugly Sweater" Milk stout. For homebrew I'm into my "Hophoarder" IPA (Summit, Columbus and Cascade hopped) and a variation of Denny Conn's Vanilla Bourbon Imperial Porter.
