Great Divide Denver Pale Ale
Pranqster

I'm drinking a Schell's Hefeweissen.

[BlackDog]

Drinking a PBR now. Not bad, but not good. Just wet, cold, with a slight bite. Good for camping or fishing, but otherwise reminds me of why I prefer craft beers.

Yes that is a real beer....bottled, then packaged in assorted small animals.

Article is here... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7904698/Beer-to-be-sold-in-dead-animals.html

Apparently, the "animal" beer is 55% alcohol....the new one beat it by 15%... Whew...rough stuff

Is this in bottles, or do you have to make a trip to the brewery?

[neoflex]

Last night I sat out back with a Duck Rabbit Milk Stout and a Benchmade Toro. They made a great pairing. My wife hates beer and last weekend when I enjoyed a couple she commented on how good it smelled.

[pektel]

I've been enjoying Fat Tire, Grain Belt Nordeast (KILLER beer. But HARD to find. Grain Belt finally made a beer everyone wanted, and can't keep up with the demand), Guinness Extra Stout, and Bass. But these are rare occasions.

My favorite beer right now to enjoy is Heineken 12 pack bottles. It has to be the twelve pack, since the beer doesn't get light-struck.

For everyday beer, it's Coors, Bud, or even Miller High Life.

I love the DR Milk Stout :tu

I went by the brewery last week while I was visiting family in Farmville. I had emailed the owner and he invited me over for a impromptu tour. Its a small operation but I really enjoyed seeing it all being brewed. He has plans for a tasting room to be operational by the end of the year.

Great IPA, it is often rated very high on Beer Advocate. Only thing is that it is tough to find and it comes out at weird intervals.

[ODLS1]

My AMAZING Extra Stout. Best beer I have brewed to date. The first scored a 43/50 from a certified judge, and this one is even better. Awesome stuff. Oh, on nitro too :D

[Bill86]

Last night was Dogfish head Theobroma tonight is Dogfish head Sahtea, mmmm 25.4% of delicious goodness.

[landhoney]

Had Cigar City's Guava Grove, and the Saison du Buff from DFH,Victory,Stone.
Both interesting beers, the Saison du Buff had a huge herbal aroma from the parsley,sage,rosemary, and tyme. Guava Grove had a great Guava flavor initially, but seemed to fade as the beer warmed up and became a little 'flabby' for lack of a better term. Anyway, both excellent unique beers.

Yous guys need to find RATEBEER. there is probably a much better beer than that illusive Goose Island Coffee Stout. In fact a quick search provides you are wasting your time with a not even mediocre beer.

Hunt you down some bells, dog fish head, stone's, alesmith and founders imperial stouts they are MUCH MUCH better.

Even Goose Island bourbon stout is MUCH MUCH better than the regular. In fact their only good beers appear to be bourbon stouts.

I have had Bells, Founders, Dog Fish....I like Goose Island Coffee Stout better.

I have been on ratebeer numerous times. I trust my tastebuds for what I like better than a website.

You are entitled to your opinion...but that is just what it is, an opinion. I'll waste my time with Goose Island Coffee Stout and enjoy that waste of time very much, thanks. :rolleyes:

In my opinion Bells is decent, dogfish head is very good, stone sucks, never had alesmith that I can remember.

Even Goose Island bourbon stout is MUCH MUCH better than the regular. In fact their only good beers appear to be bourbon stouts.Are you referring to Goose Island Bourbon County Stout? Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout is damn near the same as GIBCS just with Intelligentsia Black Cat espresso added. Again it wasn't a hunt or quest considering 4 liquor stores around me all had it. :tu

Don't worry, I won't tell you your ever wasting time with your mediocre beer or cigars.

Dogfish My Antonia, Cigar City Guava Grove, Cigar City Big Sound Scotch Ale, Six Grapes Port, and two beers brewed by our own landhoney. A Scotch Ale which IMO blew away Cigar City's and a Sour beer that was awesome too!

Try to find the Bourbon Barrel Heine Bros Coffee Stout. Awesome. Kind of like a lighter (7.5% abv) KBS. It's pricey at $12.99 a 750 but definitely worth trying. I had it at the brewpub but they just released the bottling. The label says Family Reserve and has a few people on it.

Used to hang out at Heine Bros. in Louisville on Bardstown years ago...would love to hunt down some of the beer.

If you or anyone is really interested I could pick one up and if you pay for the bottle and shipping I can ship it. Or we could maybe form a trade. Just let me know. My work got 1 case - not sure if we will get more or not.

I'm drinking the new Summit Unchained #4 Belgian Golden Ale. Very good. Perhaps a little too sweet, but there are enough hops to keep it pretty well balanced. IMO Summit deserves more love than they typically get, and their Unchained series has really been a home run.

Living in CA as you do, be sure to seek out Sierra Nevada (from Chico), and Stone (from San Diego). Both are exemplary breweries and should both be easy for you to find.

Bout to break out some cigars and some beers with some Chicago BA (Beer Advocate) friends. We have: Russian River Porter (growler), Russian River Hopfather (growler), Bullfrog The Jaspers, Cigar City Brewery Double Barrel Marshall Zhukov's, Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castleton, and much much more...should be a fun tasting!

I got curious and opened a bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout, and wish I hadn't. It's excellent, but IMO more of a nightcap to be shared with friends. There's no way I'm going to enjoy drinking this entire bomber.

Way to many this weekend.

Had a couple tasty tables!

Gotta agree with you. I love BCS, but it's so huge that I only want to sip it and what better thing to do than share a great beer like that one.

Had a few great beers this w/e and the one I best remember was Central Waters Brewers Reserve Bourbon Barrel stout. Delicious!

IMO Yuengling Light is a sever drop off from the original.

As for me, I'm currently sippin' on a Brooklyn Local 1. Has a little Yankee aftertaste but i like it :tu

[Bill86]

Light beer isn't beer, it's just light. You'll always be disappointed.

Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary - Imperial Helles Bock *the 2nd one released*. This ones 8.3%, The 3rd is 10.2%. First was 9.5%

This ones the worst of the 3 by far but still not a bad brew by any means. The first was easily the best because it was an Imperial Stout.

This makes all 3 of the ones out I've tried they are all great brews. Sierra Nevada finally got some good beer.

The Weyerbacher was from last season. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized I had one left! The higher alcohol content helped keep the beer tasting just fine. :tu

This thread makes me THIRSTY.

Looks like I'll have to stop by the liquor store on the way home tonight. All I have left in the frig is some Keystone lights.

You better take care of that problem....speaking of problem I'm a bit low myself. Thanks for the reminder!

Again I am having Terrapin Oatmeal Coffee Stout...I could drink this stuff all day. I wish it wasn't a seasonal but at least I have a couple more

No prob! Now what to buy... that is the question...

[BlackDog]

The local beer shop had Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on sale for $10.99 per 12 pack. It's been a while since I've had one, but it's one of the main beers that helped me get interested in craft beers. At that price I couldn't pass it up, and I'm glad I didn't. It's really a very fine beer.

Bought a 4 pack of Flying Dog Double Dog Double Pale Ale yesterday. That beer is HOPPY. puckered up my face on the first drink lol. The 11.5% alcohol content makes it a sipper for sure.

A growler of Three Floyds Gumballhead. It's been over a year since I have had it, but honestly I think some of my hopped up wheat beers are better (not all, still tweaking recipes). Don't get me wrong, I loove Gumballhead, but after having it again I was impressed by myself, haha. I think I'm too hard on my homebrews most of the time. I am a perfectionist. But this kinda put things into perspective.

I bought a mixed 6'er to try some new beers. Drank a Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale earlier. Nice, but not memorable. Drinking a Lift Bridge Farm Girl Saison now. It's not up to par with a true Belgian saison, but this would be very nice for a summer barbeque with friends. I can see myself buying more of this.

Overhopped (surprise surprise), it was
Completely unnoteworthy. Hey SN news

A little imagination here was expecting
Too much :((((??

I'm with you Vic...do you foresee the hops mellowing out after a year in the cellar? I've got one lone bottle from when I was in SF, when the weather gets cold it's gonna be hard to stay off it.

Maybe,'but I'm not sure what would be left if they did All I got out of this beer was hoppy bitterness and a little underlying sweetness, there was absolutely no complexity at all! I think age going to make
