October is target.
I had some of the pilot batch and it was pretty damned good.
Think citrus and passion fruit.
This one will be October-January
AIPA will be February-May
XIPA WILL be June-September

Year round goodness.

Lost Abby Judgement Ale

[DaBear]

Had my first Cigar City Brewing Co. beers the other day. Fell in love with the Maduro Brown Ale, its a perfect compliment for a nice earthy maduro(I'm gonna have to have one with a 601 Blue when I get back to Raleigh). If only the store had more of it, only got to pick up a sixer. Wasn't too impressed with the other two I tried, the Tocobaga Red Ale and Jai Alai IPA, a bit too hoppy for my tastes nowadays.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

yup

http://www.fototime.com/8AA800EE20EB8C4/medium800.jpg


Drinking this again tonight:tu

[mmblz]

HUB IPA. yum!



Finally tried Allagash Curieux last night. I'd say it was a nice change from the bourbon aged beers that are primarily stouts and sweet sweet sweet... This one had some amount of hops as well as the bourbon, which made it interesting. That said I really don't think I would rate it as highly as it tends to be - nor would I be likely to buy it again. The flavor kept reminding me of a brandy alexander for some reason. Nutmeg-y, I guess.

We just started getting Founders here in NYS. Had Dirty Bastard the other night and i have to agree is a fantastic beer. We also tried the Rouge VooDoo bacon maple ale and DFH Festina Peche. Both interesting but i found the Bacon maple beer to have the smell of Beggin Strips i buy for the dog.

SN Hoptimum

[NCPACKFAN]

I had an amazing drink the other night. Rogue Chipotle. Phenomenal ale with a great pepper aftertaste. Really spicy. It's interesting how it goes down smooth, then the spice sneaks up on you. It only comes in the "tall boy" size, but for 4 or 5 bucks it is a great brew.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Might go well with a similarly spicy stick.

Picked up a 4 pack of Weyerbacher Insanity on a whim Saturday. It was all I could do to hold 2 back for later. Damn, it was good.

Also, if you like chocolate beers, this one is good.

[Weelok]

Started with a pint of Firestone Walker IPA - always good

Second pint I tried a Lagunitas Hop Stoopid - First time for me and a nice change up to a Racer 5. The Hop Stoopid has a sweet grapefruit flavor vs the more tarter grapefruit flavor of the Racer 5. For an IPA, the Hop Stoopid went a sweeter route which I'm not used to but I liked it. Tasted more like a hoppy Tripel then an IPA IMHO

[AECUSN]

Lagunitas what?
Favorites I've had so far are Hop Stoopid, Maximus and Lucky 13...


Opened up a bottle of Brux tonight. Really good. Have to admit I was scared to try it - first wild I've had. Seems really similar to Saison Dupont though. I would have to try them side by side but I'm not sure I would continue to pay 60% more than Dupont...

I heard that stuff was a winner at Shack. I wish I had participated. I have never seen it here either.

[Mattso3000]

Dogfish head 90 min IPA and H&G Pale Dog pale ale

[Robulous78]

Lately the local gas station has had Redhook Sampler 12 packs, I really rather enjoy them, I buy 2 at the same time giving me a 6 pack each of their 4 varieties

the ESB,
The Copperhook
The Indian Pale Ale
the Pilsner

I have to say I like the IPA the best, The ESB is good but alittle heavy for my tastes, If I wanted a beer that heavy I'd buy a Guinness... :)

[poriggity]

Picked up a 12'er of Sam Adams Oktoberfest at the store tonight. Finishing one off before I hit the sack.

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. This stuff is even better than ST Pumking.

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. This stuff is even better than ST Pumking.

I enjoyed Pumking the first time I had it. The past 3 or so years, I can't stand the stuff. Just way too overdone.

I feel the same way, but i still buy it as the wife loves the stuff. If you can find it Southern Tier has an Oak Aged version. ( the Pumking on the lable has a santa hat on)I find this one to have alot of the same flavor only toned down quite a bit. Very very good. Not sure if they bottle it yet or not i have only seen in in kegs.Got a growler of it a week ago and drank quite a bit of it at the brewery last year.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

SN Southern Harvest. When I first poured the beer into my tulip glass some major "green" dank aromas really filled the air. Faded now, more citrus and floral notes.

[poriggity]

Another Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Can't get enough.

Pretty good beer drinking last few days:

On Saturday was enjoying DFH B****es Brew on tap at a local pub.

[Robulous78]

Had a yingling ocktoberfest today... not bad... tastes like a watered down Sam Adams ocktoberfest and was likewise priced... No complaints here...

Thats my boat drinking beer. Haters gone hate.

Lagunitas Maximus IPA

That beer is fantastic. Don't see it distrbuted in Indiana so I can't pick it up at home. But I am on the road half the month and pick up all I need in Chicago or California.

Enjoying New Belgium's "Red Hoptober". Not nearly as "hoppy" as Ranger but still has a nice hoppy zing to it. Balanced and smooth.

I don't think Lagunitas makes a bad beer. Their entire line is top notch.

[pektel]

Picked up a bottle of Rogue Double Chocolate Stout. Looking forward to cracking it open tonight after work.

[T.G]

One of the great things about where I live is that I have a fantastic German brewery (Sudwerk) almost literally down the street. Even better is that their regular beers are very accurate to the German styles, unlike a lot of so called German breweries in the US, and they have some incredibly creative brewers who like to brew up lots of half-barrels of experimental beers in every style imaginable (we get 2-3 new beers a week there on the average). Unfortunately, because of this, I don't bother to get out to other breweries that often or even buy that many bottles when I have something that damn good and that I like that much in walking distance.

But sometimes opportunity comes around... Since I was in Vegas for a few days, I managed to sneak out to Triple 7 Brewery and sampled all 8 of the brews they had available. All of them were very nice, the IPA and Red Ale weren't very aggressively hopped but they worked well, the Saison and the Porter (on nitrogen) were the standouts to me.

Grabbed these four bottles from two other craft breweries in the area on my way out of town and they all have to die today since I can't take them back with me (gee, bummer).

[T.G]

Thanks Dice (Skywalker)!

[mmblz]

foster's oil can tonight... just wanted something to chug after the gym ;)

[stearns]

working through some breakfast stout. soooo good :tu

[billybarue]

I was grousing about not getting Lagunitas in Indiana and happened upon this website for folks in the Upper Midwest - specifically IN:

http://brewersofindianaguild.com/about


At random I chose Three Floyds (close to Chicago in Muenster IN):

http://www.3floyds.com/

I specifically looked for their 'Dreadnaught' Imperial IPA and absolutely loved it. I am not a big beer hound but every once in awhile I get into a beer phase. I might start looking around for more midwest brewed beers. I know Bells Brewery up in Kalamazoo, MI puts out some great brews - 'Two-hearted Ale' comes to mind immediately.

[T.G]

And another from Dice...

How is it Adam?

[Frodo]

Nicklebrook IPA. Pretty good...

[T.G]

How is it Adam?

I think it has a lot of potential with a year or two of cellaring. Right now though, it's good, but not great.

[Frodo]

Black Creek Pumpkin Ale.

[poriggity]

Found a sampler from Pyramid that I'd never seen, so I'm drinking this tonight:

Lawson's Triple Play IPA... just a small glass, someone brought in to work - but it's good.

[Sumatra Samurai]

I've been enjoying Left Hand's Nitro Milk Stout lately, it's good to be in Colorado :)

[cobra03]

Sam Adams Fat Jack double Pumpkin last night. Not amazing but not bad

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

And another from Dice...

Lot's of people didn't like this one that much.. Boring I guess

[RWhisenand]

And another from Dice...

I just shared a bottle of this with my wife. As a committed hop head, this wasn't up my alley, but very good none the less. She liked it a lot and we'll probably get a few bottles to age for a few years.
