What beer did you drink with your Thanksgiving dinner?

[bearfootbrewer]

It's that time of the year that we give thanks for beer. How did all of you give thanks today?

I, with my Thanksgiving lunch / dinner had one of my home brewed 1610 Dark brown ales.

Thank you brew.

I am enjoying some wonderful red wine (Pinot, Bordeaux, and cab sav) while cooking. And breaking into my stash of pliney the elder clone and Oaked barley wine to serve with dinner. Going to be delicious!

I had some of my rye IPA with my thanksgiving lunch.

Along with lunch I had a half glass of my cranberry rhubarb blonde ale. With dinner I will probably have some combination of the above-mentioned beer, a saison, and/or a cherry saison.

Cheers - Happy Thanksgiving!

Up in Oregon visiting family so I stopped in at the store and picked up a Ninkasi sampler. Had a Sleigh'r so far, plan on sampling the rest before the day is out.

The rest are Believer, Oatis, and Total Domination.

Pregamed with a zombie dust clone beer and my brown ale @ 6 and 7%, dinner was 2 huge pieces of smoked prime rib cut from a 16 pound prime rib bought @ restraunt depot paired with a bottle of 2013 dogfishhead old school barleywine each person had a whole bottle to themselves. Split a bomber of southern tier pumking and southern tier warlock 3 ways for desert, and wrapped up with a 2013 bottle of hebrew jewbelation reborn @ 17% split 3 ways. Yeah I'm feeling good right now. Happy turkey day everyone!

My main event was CCB Good Gourd - totally lived up to the hype! Then I had a Bruery Autumn Maple with/for dessert. Good but a touch sweet.

I swung by Casanova's in Hudson, Wisconsin to have a couple of growlers filled before heading to my folks for Thanksgiving dinner.

The selection:

My choices:

Green Flash Cedar Plank Pale Ale

and

Toppling Goliath PseudoSue Pale Ale

I sure do love Wisconsin's crazy free beer laws.

Pliny. Wife had Blind Pig. I was in SF last week and was able to grab some fresh beer. For some reason wasn't as good as I remember or my brewing is getting better...

 

[MindenMan]

A 2007 Cabernet, and some 8 week old, Who's Your Taddy Porter. The malt in the porter is really starting to shine through, and the "alcohol" taste is starting to not be so noticeable and quite mellow. This is my second time brewing a Taddy Porter, and the first one was gone before it really hit its stride. Fortunately, I do have some other brews this time to keep me busy while I am waiting on my favorite brown porter to reach perfection.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

cream ale, pumpkin ale and a commercial apa - Firestone.

 

[Whippy]

Poor Richard's Ale.....finished the keg I'll brew that one again ... it was a nice brew

 

[brandon91]

12 pack of anchor steam and some maker's 46 for after dinner

 

[fuelish]

We're actually having our T-Giving dinner this evening (Fri).....gonna be various Asheville Brewing Co brews....need bottles to bottle mead that's clearing

 

[Gixxer]

If I could have drank a beer with my meal, it would have been a Pumking with the main course, and a Breakfast Stout with dessert... Well... The FBS would have been dessert...

 

[Odin_Brews]

Brandon O's Graff was perfect to wash down all that deliciousness. Nice hoppy amber for dessert.

 

[ab12]

A great robust porter I brewed in September. Gave it about 2 months to condition. Nice and roasty and choclatey. Just goes great with turkey dinner.

 

[BigBug]

Stone Vertical Epic
Allegash Triple
Barrel Trolly IPA

 

[Glynn]

My family and I enjoyed a selection of my home brew. I served up my Christmas ale, a citra IPA, west coast amber and a pale ale.

 

[RIC0]

Toasted coconut stout. It was great.

Thanks for reminding me I need to do this again, last batch was ubber good.


I had a Tripel with dinner and a breakfast stout for desert. A bomber of the stout was like eating an entire pie, could barely get it all down.

 

[MaxStout]

Served Ed Wort's Apfelwein. It was a hit all around, so I also gave a bottle to each guest to take home.

 

[causeimthesquid]

Had a Baltic Porter I brewed with my brother.

Brought a bottle of Rodenbach Grand Cru, a Sam Smith Yorkshire Stingo, and an Ayinger Salvator.

My brother brought a couple Heady Toppers as well. He gave me two to bring home and try and get some Conan yeast going.

 

[unionrdr]

I had one of my Maori IPA's with dinner. Taste mingled well with the turkey's herbs & all. Dito with the stuffing. gunna try the Cougar country IPA with leftovers tonight. Now if I could just get momma ride to the library to take the DVD's back. That's a buck a day each if we don't. Damn kids...can't get much out of'em.

 

[NewJersey]

Rogue juniper pale ale.

 

[TXjayhawk]

Cream of Three Crops Cream Ale....delicious

 

[wilson42203]

My very first brew has finally lost its green flavor, so I enjoyed a couple bottles of AHS's honey blonde ale. It has turned out much better than expected, especially after I failed on my first 3 attempts at cider.

It made for a great Turkey Day.

 

[hopdropz]

Bell's Porter

 

[stbnj]

A growler of a Surly Bender clone, Sly Fox Winter Ale, and a DF B%#ches Brew for dessert.

 

[telp]

A little late to this party. I had some of my own pumpkin beer that I brewed specifically for the occasion, and I also managed to get a bottle of Dogfish Head's new Kvasir which no one wished to share with me so I had to drink it all myself...

 

[hou_me]

Apfelwein

 

[JohnSand]

Bee Cave Haus Pale, the family loved it. And some 60 Minute IPA from DFH.
