[cherrybomb]

bell's double cream stout

[chippewastud79]

Had a few of the Sam Adams Winter Collection yesterday. All of them were quite tasty :tu

[Skywalker]

Sierra Nevada Weizenbock!!!:tu

[Partagaspete]

Went to Long Island to watch the Islanders turn in a less than steller performance against the Devils. But I did eenjoy quite a bit of Blue Point IPA. I really really liked it a lot.

[Giant & 49er Fan]

Drifter Pale Ale by Widmer Bros. Great with any cigar!

[DAFU]

Magic Hat Howl.
Not much for hop lovers, but a nice easy drinking dark lager.

[BlackDog]

Drinking a Founders Double Trouble double IPA. Good, but a little boozier than Bell's HopSlam. If I had to pick I'd take HopSlam by a nose.

[newcigarz]

Here's what I plan on drinking this weekend. :D

Magic Hat Howl.
Not much for hop lovers, but a nice easy drinking dark lager.

Had a few of these this weekend and liked them. The winter odd notion is just that though. Magic hat seems stuck on the sour flavor these days.

[BlackDog]

I had a Founders Imperial Stout last night. Just blew me away. You guys who (rightfully so) love Breakfast Stout need to buy a 4 pack of this. To me the flavors seem even more "intense" than FBS. The whole beer seems "denser." Very plummy, with strong undertones of coffee and chocolate. Also a strong hops finish. It's ever so slightly boozy, but in no way detracts from the beer. It's only released during the month of January, so I'm going to stock up on several 4 packs before it disappears.

I know its blasphemy, but Budweiser! I enjoy many good beers - the fridge is stocked with sierra nevada, guinness, etc., but every now and then I like to go slumming. It sometimes hits the spot. Budweiser has been lately.

[silentjon]

I've been on an IPA kick lately. Some of the ones I am currently enjoying are Racer 5, Breckenridge 471 and Founders Double Trouble.

Worst. List. Ever.

Seriously. There are tons of beer that are "worse" for you, but of course a 9+% abv beer is going to have more calories and carbs.

[Sauer Grapes]

How's this for carbs and calories in a beer? (http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/dogfish-head/120-minute-ipa/)

Drinking Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden Bock. Tastes like a super-premium lager, but a step up from anything coming out of the major breweries.

I have been doing a sixer of Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA and one of another random IPA that looks interesting (they last a while--I don't drink 'em both at once)--although I didn't get out to get any before "snowmageddon" here in the DC area, so I'm dry for a few days......

Anything from Stone and Rogue I really enjoy. Nice to support a local brewery as well. Drinking Arrogant Bastard at the moment. Stella is also very nice, have that on tap at home.

[BlackDog]

sierra nevada glissade
I haven't tried Glissade yet, but want to get some soon. Here is an interesting review from BeerAdvocate:

...this is a replica of the Coors beer from the 70's, the cult classic. If you want to know what all the fuss was about, why kids loaded up their parents station wagons, drove the stuff to the East Coast and made out like bandits, try Glissade, it's a virtual taste replica.

[hornitosmonster]

I haven't tried Glissade yet, but want to get some soon. Here is an interesting review from BeerAdvocate:

that is interesting. I'm sure Coors of the 70's was a very different product from today's adjunct Coors. I will have my father drink one tomorrow and ask him if it is similar to 1970's Coors.

Glissade is a tasty beer. Pick some up when you get the chance.

It's a seasonal beer. I've been wanting to try this for a long time and found a 4pack today. It's a bit bitter/hoppy with some citrus notes. It's a great beer but I still enjoy some of the Ale Asylum IPA's better (satisfaction jackson double ipa and ballistic).

[BlackDog]

I wanted to try Founders Double Trouble since I've liked everything I've had from Founders. Double Trouble is good, but IMO Bell's HopSlam is better. I'd say that Double Trouble is more of a "western" DIPA, as it's more bitter. HopSlam has the hoppy bitterness, but it's balanced by the sweetness from the honey. Different strokes for different folks, but I like the HopSlam better.

[TheLostGringo]

Very good beer, but not great IMO. They did a good job keeping it balanced though, usually beer put into spirit barrels are higher alcohol and/or strongly flavored (porters, stouts, barleywines, etc.) but Dead Guy isn't really like that. It had a very subtle flavor of whiskey/oak to it. I tried it at the Jupiter Beer Festival a couple weeks ago, it was at the bottom of the beer list and when I asked for it the guy put his fingers over his lips as if to say, keep it quiet, guess they didn't have much of it. Anyway, worth a purchase but I would not knock down women and small children to get more of it. :tu

So I sat there for 2 hours eating a nice brunch, listening to live jazz, and drinking Bell's Two Hearted on tap. Delish. :tu

Ommegang Biere de Mars. Really, really good!
http://www.fototime.com/6D3919735783721/orig.jpg




Here is a little info on the brew:

Ommegang Bière de Mars is a Belgian-style amber ale with a bit of magical space dust woven in - Brettanomyces bruxellensis, a wild-yeast used in the secondary fermentation. The Brett imparts added tartness, a bit of zing and some farmhouse funkiness. Also dry-hopped, this new ale continues our exploration of using Brett for secondary fermentation in limited-release beers.

Ah man! Saw those at a local store and have been meaning to get a 4 pack.. and now.. "sold out" So... Ouch, unless I can find some else where I will have to wait till next year :mad:

A place on my way home has them, Sam. For $19.99/4pack. If you're going to be heading up this way any time soon, let me know, and I'll grab one for you.

That is Founders Curmudgeon, an "Old Ale."

:hm

Gladly... The taste. ;)

It's been over a year since I had it, but I remember it just having a very unpleasant taste. I'd say it tastes like old socks and bad whiskey.

FWIW, I agree with the people here that gave it low reviews. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/24905/?view=beer&sort=low&start=0

I generally like Founders, but they missed on this one as far as I am concerned. I think most the people who rated it high just did so because they're afraid to say a Founders creation tastes like crap.

I might have to try it then:D

Seriously though, it sounds good from what I read. Think classic sea fairing ports, local pubs, and weathered old fisherman. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then aged in oak. The result is a strong, rich, malty-delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable.

[NCRadioMan]

I'll let you know tomorrow. We'll test it out at the W.H.A.T! :banger

Now your talking! I'll bring a few as well! I picked up some DDG 2009 along with some more Founders Double Trouble, Hop Stoopid, DFH Black & Blue, Racer 5 IPA and some SN Stout.

Been enjoying a few DFH 60 Min IPA's this evening. :al

This is my first post and its because I wanted to make sure you knew why those 4-packs of Founders differed.. those two with similar packaging are in the packaging format that is only 1.5-2.5 yrs old. That Curmudgeon is in the old style packaging, and should have aged VERY well! consider yourself lucky. I would easily trade a 4-pack of the current stuff(which I LOVE) for 2 bottles of those!(since I turned 21 in May and I like to try aged beers.. but havn't been able to freely buy until recently!) I found Founders Pale Ale in a 6-pack old packaging at CVS here in East Lansing and got one... the other was gone when I went back but I'll bet the distributor took it back or something. That beer was fantastic, and generally Pale Ales aren't renowned for aging!

Sorry for the ramble. I am from the Grand Rapids area and I will say that they do a Maple Bourbon Barrel aged old ale which is a favorite of many and absolutely fantastic. Black Biscuit. They JUST ran out the other day. Anyways, enjoy the Curmudgeon and other beers in your haul!

[snowboardin58]

Also, if you come across some Founders Nemesis, by ALL MEANS, pick it up! Most places only an hour from GR got about 1 case max. Some bigger retailers received 2. limits were usually 1-2 bottles. I screwed myself and didn't buy a case at Founders when I had the chance. It has very very high ratings but cannot be a long-time top 10 beer like other Founders brews because the recipe changes annually and is only brewed that one time. Even though the reviews are very good, people seem to unanimously agree, myself included, that it can get EVEN BETTER! It is a little boozy, but then again, it is a maple bourbon barrel aged wheat wine. The value of this beer will be probably over $30/bottle to many by fall. Probably over $50 by December 2011 when 2011 Nemesis is released. It is VERY limited and I am scavenging to get my hands on more.. I picked up a single bottle yesterday.

[Cerius]

Breaking into some cellared SN Bigfoot, and then setting the stage for some Lost Coast Downtown Brown. I'm a college student, so I go where the drinks are cheap and tonight is $5 pitchers of Sierra Nevada. So, debating whether Torpedo or Kellerweis will be the target.

I was eyeing Allagash last night. Anyone here tried it and have reccomendations?

[BlackDog]

Hey ChiSox, have you tried the Backwoods Bastard? If you think the Curmudgeon sounds good, then by all means try the BB. Top rate stuff.

Nope. Ive not had the Backwoods. But I think Ill try the Backwoods before the Curmudgeon based on reviews.

[BlackDog]

You may have to check a couple stores but you should still be able to find some BB.

Yep, after trying both I think the Backwoods suits me better. The Curmudgeon wasn't bad but I preferred the profile of the Backwoods.

I need more Backwoods, might have to make a trip today. :tu

With all this talk of Founder's, I broke down and splurged on a 6pack of Porter. :tu

Finally got to have one of my favorite beers Conway's Irish Ale, from the Great Lakes brewery in Cleveland. It's only available around St. Pattys day, so I got to drink up.

HopSlam is still available where you are? How much are your sixers there? They are freaking $22 here.

$22 for a six pack of HopSlam? :O

[Sauer Grapes]

$22 for a six pack of HopSlam? :O

And they limit it to one per person. It's a store that has never marked anything up to my knowledge, but I figured it may have been a first for them. That, or the price rose $5 or so this year (possible).

[hornitosmonster]

$22 is way too much for Hopslam. Never even payed close to that in the Phoenix area,...

[Sauer Grapes]

How much is it in your area? I wonder if there is a tax difference.

[hornitosmonster]

Hopslam is about $14-$15 in Phoenix (Total win).

[Sauer Grapes]

Yeah, this is total wine that was charging $22.

Hmmm... I wonder why? They charged $18 or so last year IIRC, which could easily be explained by tax when compared to $15.

[Salvelinus]

Just picked up a 12 of the magic hat vinyl. Wishful thinking calling it a spring release for Vermonters in February. Good brew.

Out of all the Magic Hat beers I have had, #9 was my least favorite. I really enjoyed the Lucky Kat and the seasonal Howl the best.

At a restaurant last night I had a Green Flash West Coast IPA. It was OK. I enjoyed the grape fruit flavor of the simcoe hops but there was some other hop in there that was leaving a lingering bitterness on my tongue. I also wasn't really picking up a terribly complex malt profile from the beer either.

You should definitely try Hop Head Red by Green Flash if you get the chance. Absolutely their best beer.
