Pale Ale and Celebration are my two least favorite from SN!!!

If you like IPA, listen to Red and pick up some SN Torpedo!!!

[boom]

my vote Lagunitas IPA.....

[avid toker]

today's haul....

[Snake Hips]

I don't have my camera, but I snagged two six-packs of Spaten Oktoberfestbier from the last place in town to have any (or so it seemed). Nobody had any of the German Oktoberfestbieren here - everywhere I went, just endless cases of Samuel Adams Oktoberfest >:|

[Red]

today's haul....

let us know about that black flag..

[avid toker]

let us know about that black flag..

I've had it before and it's an interesting and complex imperial stout. Not that balanced and you're definitely aware of the high ABV of 11%. If you like aggressive stouts, then you'll love this one.....I give it a solid B+

[Skywalker]

My wife brought this home last night!!!:dr

I'm not into pin-ball enough to have a machine but if I was that would be the one I want . That is sweet ! Love the graphic on the side of the main cabinet with the bunny pulling the lever . :tu

[avid toker]

yesterday's haul....some good 'ole favorites since the temps are getting colder.

[avid toker]

today's haul....some old favorites, some new.

[Wanger]

No pics, but I picked up some Founders Bastard Ale and some more Lion Stout last night. The wife picked up some Guinness 250, New Belgium Hoptober, and Kalamazoo Stout today. :) Oh how I love her. :D

[BlackDog]

Picked up a 4 pack of Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale, and a "gift pack" of Hobgoblin English Brown ale, which came with a 550ml bottle of ale and a pint glass with the Hobgoblin label etched into the glass. For $8.99 I would have bought more if they had more than the one on display.

[okieRob]

Does this count?

This is an IPA that hit the primary on Thursday :banger

[Bubba - NJ]

Todays haul , a heavy haul . A full case of Chimay Premier Red 750 ml bottles . Not cheap but worth every penny at $10.00 a bottle .

[MikeyC]

I was at the Sam Adams Boston Brewery on Monday and picked up one of each of the new Barrel Room Collection. Right now that's the only place you can buy them. There are three styles in the collection a Kriek, a Belgian Blond, and a Belgian Red. It's hard to tell from the picture but these are 750ml bottles (they better be I paid $10 each for them!). I think I'm going to age them a while before cracking them open.

Sweet hauls guys. Love the Chimay, and I'm hoping those new SA bottles show up in MN before too long.

[BigFrank]

Nice beers, you should have bought a couple more some for now some for later :r

[Scimmia]

I'm hoping those new SA bottles show up in MN before too long.

From the press release:

The Samuel Adams Barrel Room Collection beers are available for purchase at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery and will be available at select retail locations in Massachusetts, Denver, Colorado, Maine and New Hampshire for a suggested retail price of $9.99 per 750ml bottle in the near future.

[MikeyC]

Nice beers, you should have bought a couple more some for now some for later :r

I would have but there was a three beer per person maximum. :td

Also, considering it cost me $32 for the three I wasn't buying anymore anyway. They're very good beers but for an extra $6 on top of that I can buy an entire case of Dogfish 60 minute.

My understanding is that these are REALLY limited edition and even once the bottles make it out to the other cities listed above they'll be REALLY hard to find. I guess it's just a good excuse to come to Boston, take a tour of the brewery, and buy some beer. :tu

[leasingthisspace]

They are sexy bottles. To bad they aren't going to be near me.

[BlackDog]

I made a beer run today for one of our brothers on the East Coast. He wants some local MN brews he can't get back East. While at the shop I picked up this mixed 6'er for myself. Looks mighty tasty.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Nice haul Warren:tu

[Sauer Grapes]

Picked up:
Hop Head Red - one of my favorites
2 bombers of 2009 Double Bastard

The SN Celebration is real good this year!!!:2

[BlackDog]

Just bought a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Celebration for $12.99. Great price for a great beer. :tu

[BigFrank]

How is the Sierra Nevada? I had a pale ale years ago and didnt like it. Havent gotten around to trying the other brews yet.

[Darrell]

It's good. Try the Torpedo.

[BlackDog]

I'm sort of a Sierra Nevada whore. I don't think they make a bad beer at all. Pale Ale, Torpedo, Celebration, Hefe Wiezen, Porter, Bigfoot Barleywine, it's all good.

[awsmith4]

I already posted this in another thread but I thought I'd share again

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/awsmith4/Cigar%20Pics/IMG_3468.jpg

[Red]

nice ones

[Sauer Grapes]

Someone is a Belgian whore....

[awsmith4]

Someone is a Belgian whore....

You could say that, I go in phases. Most of this haul was prompted by Christmas arrivals. I actually went in looking to buy the last of the Dogfish Punkin Ale and somehow forgot to buy it :D

[Sauer Grapes]

Nothing wrong with that. You like what you like.

[Darrell]

I'm sort of a Sierra Nevada whore. I don't think they make a bad beer at all. Pale Ale, Torpedo, Celebration, Hefe Wiezen, Porter, Bigfoot Barleywine, it's all good.

Their Winter beer is pretty rank.

[Sauer Grapes]

Picked up:
Hop Head Red - one of my favorites
2 bombers of 2009 Double Bastard
2 bombers of Southern Tier Iniquity
and a bomber of Dogzilla.

The Dogzilla was a dog. Just not very good. I could care less about it not fitting a "style" of beer since it has both stout and IPA taste, but it just wasn't enjoyable.

The Iniquity is quite a bit better, but I still probably won't be buying it again. If only 21st Amendment Brewing would can Back in Black IPA... I'd buy it regularly. So far it's the only black IPA I've thoroughly enjoyed.

[Scimmia]

Their Winter beer is pretty rank.

Their winter beer is Celebration, not what I would call 'rank' at all. In fact, I just picked up a couple of 6 packs of it.

[BlackDog]

Picked up 2 bombers of Yeti Imperial Stout for $5.99 each. I've never had it before, but the reviews are excellent and figured I'd grab it at that sale price.

Got a huge beer haul in the mail today from a beer trade.
The Rogue ceramic bottle was only brewed once and in 2006.
The Lost Abbey Angel Share is only available once a year.

[awsmith4]

Picked up these two yesterday while I was out

Made a major beer haul today. Tonight I'm going for one of the Surly's. These should keep me busy for a few days. :chr

From left to right:


Surly Bender and a Surly glass
Trader Joe's Vintage 2009 - made by Unibroue
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Flensburger Weizen - largely purchased because I want a couple swing-top bottles, but it also has good reviews
Corsendonk Christmas Ale gift package with glass
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Sam Adams glass - freebie from the shop keeper
Founders Backwoods Bastard

That Sam Adams glass is actually a scientifically designed beer glass. I think there is a page about it on their webiste.

[BlackDog]

Made another beer haul today. Aside from the Surly Furious, these are all new to me.


Surly Furious IPA
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
Furthermore Knot Stock
Victory Prima Pils
Tyranena Bitter Woman in the Rye
Anchor Porter
Founders Breakfast Stout - I'm especially looking forward to trying this.

[BigFrank]

That flying dog looks mighty tasty. Try the Stone Porter if you're a Porter fan. Very good brew.

[Skywalker]

Their Winter beer is pretty rank.

Not this year, it isn't!!!:dr

[BlackDog]

Try the Stone Porter if you're a Porter fan. Very good brew.
I wish I could, but we can't buy Stone here in MN. One of these days I need to make a trip across the Cheddar Curtain to Wisconsin and buy some stuff there that we can't get here.

Stupid licensing laws. :td

[MikeyC]

Went out to the store last night to pick up some wine for my wife and also left with a couple He'Brew Bar Mitvahs (I love the name of this beer) and a bottle of Southern Tier Unearthly.

Hey Warren, how was the Founders Breakfast Stout?

[Skywalker]

I picked these up a few days ago!!!

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/picture.php?albumid=451&pictureid=3242
The Growler is Red Taxi (Amber Ale) from Sierra Nevada!!!:dr

[BlackDog]

Those look great! I'd love to have a growler from SN. I think they're my favorite brewery.

[BlackDog]

Hey Warren, how was the Founders Breakfast Stout?
I've had one of the FBS I bought the other day, and liked it. In fact I had it with breakfast! :tu

That's a good beer. It was the only Sam Adams beer to medal this year at the Great American Beer Festival.

Picked up some Sierra Nevada Harvest and Pale Ale. Also a brew called Hoptimus Prime from Legacy brewing and Unearthly IPA from southern tier

I drank an Unearthly the other day. Not bad but not great IMO. It was a little too sweet for my taste and I didn't really enjoy the hop finish either.

Nice! I see you even poured it in a Sam Adams glass. :tu

I have a few of these along with some Imperial Stouts and some Imperial Whites in my closet (a/k/a the beer cellar) catching some z's until they make their way into the fridge.

[BigFrank]

I've had the Imperial Stout's. Wasn't the greatest stout I have ever had. Was thinking about picking up some Double bock, but Im kind of on an IPA kick right now.

[kenstogie]

You may want to bring a knife and fork with you, you have to chew it before swallowing it. I believe it's 9% abv or there abouts too so plan accordingly.
:chr

[kenstogie]

Ya know considering the beers in this thread....
you guys/gals may want to consider brewing your own. You can get some fantastic brews and also you can tailor the tastes to what you like. JMHO of course. Cheers :chr

Ya that's the stuff. I couldn't find it at the local store, although I did not ask. The place down the street from me said if I want something they can get anything in stock. So I may ask them to grab some for me.

Picked up a 4 pack of SA Double Bock
24oz Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
24oz Lagunitas Imperial Stout

I doubt that will last me today and tomorrow, but the Jeep moves just fine in the snow :r

I was told by a friend that it is now sold in the states. I have yet to see it, but the guy said he drank some recently. Edit, just made it to the states in Sept '09. So might be hard to find at the moment or hasnt made it around yet.

Additionally, I picked up some Ron Pampero, and I was smaked with a bottle of Marek's Mark while at the Corona herf. :)

[BlackDog]

Nice beer haul there Wanger. I should head over to WI sometime to buy some beers we can't buy here in MN. Hope you had a nice vacation in FL.

[bresdogsr]

No pictures, but 6 pack of DFH 60 min IPA, 4 pack of 90 min IPA and 4 pack of Burton Baton.

[Pauly Walnuts]

You guys sure drink some of the fanciest beers I have ever seen.

[Jbailey]

Last beer haul were 6 packs of the following.

Three Floyds Robert the Bruce
Three Floyds Gumballhead
Dogfish Head 60min IPA

[wavescrashing]

No pic, but a botle of Lost Abbey 10 commandments.

[Drat]

Holy crap, I finally make it back to this sight and what do I find? BEER ****!!!

I'll break down and take a picture of my wine cooler that I'm aging some hard-to-finds in sometime soon.

Here's a list from memory:

westvleteren 12
rochefort 10
deschutes abyss 2008 & 2009
2 deschutes mirror mirror 2009
2 Sierra/dfh life & limb
2 Brooklyn black chocolate stout
firestone walker 13
and a bunch of homebrews that are waiting for the next NHC comp

I've got 5 gallons of a honey old ale fermenting and just pitched on a Scottish ale that I added 1# of pure grade a maple syrup from upstate NY to.

Beer has taken over cigars in my life once again.

Edit: I completely forgot the outside refrigerator:

a growler and a thirty five ounce flip top of the newest release of the southern tier choklat
a bottle of weyerbacher inferno
yeti
and some founders breakfast stout (still trying to get my hands on the Kentucky and the Canadian breakfast stout)

[BlackDog]

I picked up a mixed 12 pack of Goose Island beers today. 3 India Pale Ales, 3 Nut Brown Ales, 3 Oatmeal Stouts, 3 Honker Ales. All good solid beers in my book, and a good value at $12.99.

[Skywalker]

I have the greatest wife on the planet!!!

This is what she picked up for me!!!

The latest and greatest from Sierra Neveda!!!

Golden Ticket Baltic Porter:dr

[kydsid]

Hmm never heard of that one. Could you ellaborate?

[Skywalker]

Hmm never heard of that one. Could you ellaborate?

Golden Ticket Baltic Porter is only available on tap at the brewery! Here is their apt description: "An opaque dark brown lager with big roasted-malt flavor with notes of raisin, and milk chocolate. This Baltic Porter is profoundly smooth with a full, flavorful body, making it both drinkable and satisfying with slight hop presence and clean finish."

This porter is perfect with cigars!!!:2

[kydsid]

Mmmmm. Well heres hoping I get another tour in LA then I can get some of this beverage. :dr

[gvarsity]

Made another beer haul today. Aside from the Surly Furious, these are all new to me.


Surly Furious IPA
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
Furthermore Knot Stock
Victory Prima Pils
Tyranena Bitter Woman in the Rye
Anchor Porter
Founders Breakfast Stout - I'm especially looking forward to trying this.


http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh29/blackdog1101/beerhaul.jpg

Love the Furious. I was also drinking the Surly Bender, CynicAle and Coffee Bender while I was in the cities over the holidays. Do you ever get down to the Town Hall Brewery at seven corners? Their Masala Mama IPA is outstanding. In fact I haven't tried a beer of theirs I haven't liked.

My other recent pickups have been New Glarus Snowshoe Ale (a longtime favorite) a four pack of Guinness for stew and some New Glarus Rapsberry Tart and Belgian Red as gift for a friend.

[gvarsity]

All these damn yuppie beers....

The Classics. Love it. Although it has gotten quite trendy among the hipsters. Better be careful someone might think you are cool if they see you drinking a PBR in public. Particularly when you use that fancy glass. :)

[BlackDog]

I made a nice beer purchase today: 6 pack of Bell's HopSlam, 4 pack of Surly Furious, 4 pack of Surly Coffee Bender, and 6 pack of Founder's Porter.

I picked up a 6'er of Sam Adams Cream Stout tonight, along with a bomber each of Lagunitas Olde Gnarlywine and Hop Stoopid. The bombers were only $3.99 each, which is awesome for such great beer. Once I get flush with some more cash I'm going to pick up a few more of the Olde Gnarlywine and let tham age a bit.

[NCRadioMan]

Just made a run:

One of my new favorite beers! Thick, malty, smoke flavors are crazy in it. The finish gave me a flashback of my old friends basement with the wood burning furnace going. It's very unique beer that I can't compare it to anything I have ever had.

If you enjoy thick malty beer with a bourbon taste I would highly recommend this.

Have yet to crack one.. What are your thoughts on it? Looks like a ideal beer to :set and forget: for a few years... Not sure if I have the best set up though, if anything I may leave one in my fridge for.. well... as Long as I am able too because when it gets summer time.. my house will be a little Warmer than 50-55* :r

[BlackDog]

Stopped at the beer store this morning. I was just planning to pick up a 12 pack of a nice sessionable beer since I've got lots (too much?) of high abv specialty brews. But I saw this and had to buy it. I think this may be the first "really hard to find" beer that I've purchased. Cost $19 with tax, so I blew my beer budget for the week and don't still have much in the way of sessionable brews. :ss

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh29/blackdog1101/nemesis.jpg

[Guitarman-S.T-]

Explain ;)
I have never seen that around... Keep us posted when you crack a bottle =]

[BlackDog]

Nemesis is a once per year brew done by Founders, this year being the first. Each year it will be a unique release. I understand that there were only 4 barrels made. It was due out in December, but they decided it needed more time in the barrels, so they delayed the release until February. I've got a cold, so I'm going to wait until I have my full sense of taste back before I open one.

Founders Description:

The 2009 release of Nemesis is best described as a Maple Bourbon barrel aged wheat wine holding 12.% abv and 70 ibu's. The barrels have been resting deep in the mines of Grand Rapids for nearly 9 months and have been most effective in developing a great product.

The Bourbon barrels we used in this creation were once used to age Maple syrup from northern Michigan, then emptied, and procured for our use in ageing this beer. The combination of American oak, Kentucky Bourbon, Michigan Maple syrup and our golden/tan wheat ale has provided a delicious malty sweet ale distinctive of strong vanilla and bourbon notes.

Here is a nice article and a very cool video down in the caves.

Warren, find yourself in SoCal sometime and I'll take you to Taps Fish House and Brewery. Been to brunch there many a time when brunch turns into a spontaneous Herf! They brew some great beers too :tu

I went to Kansas City, MO this weekend and picked up a bunch of beers that I cant get on the Kansas side:

Boulevard Dark Truth Stout
Boulevard Tank 7 Saison
St Bernardus Abt 12
Boulevard Rye-on-Rye (rye ale aged in Teppleton Rye barrels)
Magic Hat #9
Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
Ofallon Whiskey Smoked Porter

Bells Batch 9000
Bells Rye Stout
Founders Double Trouble
Bells Two Hearted Ale

[Jbailey]

That Bell's 9000 is very strange. Drinks like a sweet beer and finishes like a port.

The owner at my favorite bar is doing the same thing. I'm very interested in seeing what happens to this beer.
