Cracked open a "Hop Stoopid Ale" tonight, an Imperial IPA by Lagunitas in Petaluma, CA:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/hopstoopid.jpg

Lagunitas makes some good beer (IPA, Maximus,) and some crap (Brown Shugga.) This one was crap. As the label says, this was a heavily hopped IPA: 102 IBUs! Those are International Bittering Units, a measure of the bitterness of a beer derived from the hops. For comparison purposes, a pale ale runs 20-50 IBU and an IPA at around 60 or less.

I thought this one was very thin, not well balanced by the malt. Check out the color in my photo--much paler than I expected. Watery, overwhelmingly hoppy just for the sake of hops--and I'm a hophead ho. Pineapple aroma & very citrusy flavor. The aftertaste left me with an unpleasant phlegmy sensation.

At 100 IBUs, Stone Ruination is 100x better.

I also have a Lagunitas Belgian Tripel waiting to be opened: We're Only in it for the Money. Based on tonight's disappointment I'm not sure if I want to try this one, or let it sit for a few years. The reviews on BeerAdvocate rate Hop Stoopid very high (A-)--not sure why, I didn't find it that good. :confused:

[newcigarz]

You just saved me some money. I was going to pick that up this weekend.

[Green Lantern]

Tried the Sam Adams Summer Ale for the first time. It was nice and refreshing seem to have a nice citrus bite to it. Lately I have been enjoying the Unibroue Maudite and La Fin du Monde lately.

[Heatmiser]

Last night was an IPA evening. I had the following and rank them in this order:

1) Lagunitas IPA
2) Anderson Hop Ottin' IPA
3) Alesmith IPA
4) Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
5) Deschutes Inversion IPA
6) Alaskan IPA

I've been enjoying Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA lately at a local burger joint. So much so that I went looking for it at the store, couldn't find it, but ended up discoverying Bells Hopslam Ale. That was outstanding. Of course, it should have been given that it was 20 bucks for a 6 pack (I didn't realize it until the cashier rang it up). Very good beer though.

Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/ShutdownAle.jpg

This wasn't a bad beer, but it reminded me too much of what my homebrew tastes like if I'm not too worried about a recipe, and just see how much malt & hops I can throw together. This is listed as an American Strong Ale: 9% ABV, 72 IBU. Yep, that's pretty much how I brew.... The final product is fruity sweet with a nice, citrusy hop bite. Drinkable, but unremarkable.

After having a number of Lagunitas' brews, I get the feeling that these guys are more interested in edgy, tongue-in-cheek marketing than they are in brewing outstanding beer. I've been brewing for over 15 years, and I swear that my own "award winning" home brew is just as good, if not better in certain styles. They have some drinkable ales, but it seems like they put more effort into coming-up with creative stuff to put on their labels. At nearly $10 a sixpack, I think they're kind of like the Gurkha of the microbrew world. :2

[newcigarz]

I picked up a 2 six packs and sampled a few last night. It was good, Guiness-esque, just seemed a little watered-down with more fizz. I probably will not be buying these again as I like the regular Guiness draught better and these are $2+ per bottle. Not worth it in my opinion.

I'm glad you liked it. I was looking for a crisper but still hoppy beer than many of the APA/IPAs that I can buy. Used soft water, mashed low and used chico yeast. I have a couple of more beers in the works that I'll share when they're ready. Been getting more into brewing these past few weeks for some reason.

Today at work I tried Hoegaarden for the first time and liked it very much. Kinda like Blue Moon but not a strong citrus flavor, It was excellent. I also had Sam Adams Black Lager. I gotta say this is one of my favorite beers, soo damn tasty :dr

A quote from Sam Adams...

"When one sees a beer with a darker complexion these days, more often than not it’s a Porter or Stout. However looks can be deceiving. There exists a style older than both and generally less well known; the Schwarzbier, which literally translated is “Black Beer.” Unlike its dark cousins which both hail from Britain and are highly hopped ales, Schwarzbier comes from Germany, is lightly hopped and is fermented using a bottom fermenting lager yeast. Samuel Adams® Black Lager is brewed in the tradition of the latter. A medium bodied beer brewed using several different roasts of malt to give the end product a smooth body and a depth of malt character that has to be tasted to be believed.
Carafa® is a registered trademark of Weyermann Malt, Bamburg, Germany."

Mad Hatter IPA. I didnt enjoy it too much. Just ok

[kaisersozei]

I put a big bottle of Arrogant Bastard in the frig for tonight :al

:hm Back in high school in the '80s, when the weekend rolled around I used to drink big quart bottles of Miller, Budweiser and Stroh's. Now I'm drinking big bottles of Arrogant Bastard, Three Philosophers & Allagash.

I'm still a redneck, just a more refined redneck.

[dubnick]

Just had a couple Left hand Saw Tooth Ale's.

Really enjoyed them. Now looking for a good Chocolate Stout for the holiday.

If there was a "like" button like on facebook I would push it! Im exactly the same way. Started off with cheap stuff (bud, bush, natty) and now I love Rogue, Sierra Nevada, and the like. Magic Hat is ok and I dont like many domestic macro brews, mostly imported stuff from Europe

I live across the lake from Magic Hat Brewery.......Vermont beer is ok....give me a microbrew from Ny or NH anytime. I love Smuttynose. I had 2 Guiness, a Magic hat Circus Boy and 2 La Batt Blues tonight, topped of with 2 Jim Beam and Coke, feeling comfortably numb.:tu:D

[kaisersozei]

Last night I had a Nectar IPA while grilling up some brats, and a Stone IPA while I ate 'em. :dr

[dubnick]

Picked up a Left Hand Rocky Mountain Sampler, included were:

Saw Tooth Ale
Milk Stout
Black Jack Porter
Polestar Pilsner

All were very good, but the Milk Stout was amazing.

[SeanGAR]

Excellent choices Tony!! I tried some Schneider's Aventinus their Dunkel Weizen. It was really good! Need to get some more of these.

One of my favorite beers and one of the few wheat beers that I really enjoy. Their weizen eisbock is also just great, although at 12% you need to tread carefully.

BLVD Saison w/ Brett

[Cigary]

Seeing as how they don't import Caffreys anymore I have had to find another great beer,,,Xingu! A great tasting Brazilian brew.

Thats pretty cool u live across the lake from them. The magic Hat brewery seems to put out lighter beer. I love stouts, porters, and ales. I had a Sierra Nevada stout last night and was in heaven.

I have a 5 pack of Stone waiting and a 5 pack of Sierra Nevada to drink along with Pilsner Urquell, Hacker-Pschorr. Man I love tasty beer :)

[BeerAdvocate]

I ended memorial day with a Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout!

[smokeyandthebandit05]

Pilsner Urquell, Hacker-Pschoor, Stone Pale Ale, and Stone Ruination. All were fantastic especially the Stone

I just enjoyed a 2009 Sierra Neveda Southern Hemisphere Fresh Hopped Ale

[Pirate_Boggs]

Just scored a case of this yesterday!!! I've been enjoying these for the past few weeks!!!:tu

[SkinsFanLarry]

I love my Hefe Weizen....Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse (Spaten), Flying Dog In-Heat-Wheat and Shiner Bock makes a good Hefe Weizen.

Also try Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron, it's an unfiltered brown ale and weighs in at 12% alc by vol.

Hoegaarden makes a wonderful Belgian White Beer.

I only have one or two stores in my area that carry it. Once they get it in, it is all gone within a few weeks, then it seems like it takes another month or two to get more. I am a very impatient person, ecspecially when it comes to beer!! :D

Just finished the brewery tour for "Big Boss Beer" here in Raleigh, NC.

Had one "Angry Angel" and two "Hells Belles"....couldn't smoke inside and it was way to hot to be smoking outside!

But they let the other people smoke cigarettes inside....that just ain't fair!

BLVD Single Wide IPA

I had a glass of Left Hand Warrior IPA a couple of nights ago. I am sure I won't be paying that much for that again. It wasn't bad but it was pricey. To much got beer out there for that price.

Oberon, St. Bernardus Abt 12, and Dark Lord. Can't remember the others that I had at the beer tasting, but those three were tasty.

Had a Stone Smoked Porter last night:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/Stonesmokedporter.jpg

This was an awesome beer--rich and flavorful! Nuts, roast coffee, sweet chocolate and just the right hint of smokiness. Paired perfectly with my dinner of gazpacho, apple wood smoked pork tenderloin with an apricot glaze, red pepper risotto, and summer squash casserole. :dr

[Mr.Maduro]

Last night it was a Rouge Stout night... first Shakespere then Chocolate! Both good! :tu

[WildBlueSooner]

Brought several to Florida with me:

Shiner Light
Shock Top
Abita

[SchizoFilly]

Right now I have two kegs on tap:

Double Stout
Imperial IPA

IIPA is mine, as in I made it, and the DS is a buddy that I'm slowing dragging into the HB world.

Have a Munich Helles aging right now and will be the next on tap. Also, there is a keg of some kind of flavored ale in the kegerator right now. It's been there since Memorial Day....I should revisit it to see if it has improved with a little more age.


Commercial Brews:

Stone Ruination (cannot get enough of this stuff)
New Belgium 1554
Guinness (cans only, don't bring that bottled fizzy Guinness into my house)

[tuxpuff]

Just picked up a 4pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA...can't wait to crack one open later.

[nozero]

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I've been working on a 6 pack of Shiner Smokehaus that I'm liking a lot.

[dubnick]

I've never tried the 90 min., but I LOVE the 60 min.

[pmwz]

drinking a Brigand and probably a duvel later...

[TheBeard]

Lately, I've been enjoying Okocim porter.

Okocim is a Polish label. All of their beers have been quality, but I think that their Porter stands out above the rest. It is a bold powerhouse of a porter. I'm trying to recall the proper taste profile at the moment... strong coffee balanced with just a bit of cream and sugar, and a touch of woodsyness. Underneath it all rests a touch of anise to dance around on the finish.

[WildBlueSooner]

Enjoyed some:

Shocktop
Shiner Light
Abita Satsuma

All were very good!

[groogs]

Drinking some Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde. It is okay.
