We just got Tallgrass beers here in MN this week. I'm drinking an Oasis right now - sort of a double ESB. Not what I expected, but I'm liking it.

WHAT?!

You only have 3 left and you sent me 6!

That stuff is awesome, if you had handed it to me blind I'd have called it a DIPA.

I first heard of the brewery at my local sushi bar but they were out, then while at the store I saw it sitting on the shelf and I am not one to pass up a stout let alone one that is coffee infused

Brewdog's Paradox Smokehead -did not really enjoy it, but it certainly was interesting and unique, just ultra smokey/peaty. Actually glad I tried it, I laughed when I first smelled and tasted it, just at the oddity of it. But I could not finish it.

Rogue John John Spruce/Gin Ale - subtle spruce and gin aroma/flavors but definitely there and well integrated, very nice and drinkable, didn't love it but it was a nice change.

* Sofie

* Pere Jacques (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Bourbon County Stout!!!
* Bourbon County Stout VANILLA!!! (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Bourbon County Stout COFFEE!!! (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Pepe Nero!!! (only time it will ever be on draft in the St. Louis area)

Don't waste your time on the 312. It's a medocre American wheat.

Grain Belt Premium. Those bastards in the twin cities still can get Nordeast I believe. Someone recommended it to me after it was impossible to find around here.

BlackDog 09-03-2010 02:45 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I bought a 6'er of Nordeast a while back. I thought Premium is better. You aren't missing much IMO. And I'm saying this as a solid Schell's fan. Nordeast just didn't do much for me.

pektel 09-03-2010 03:17 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Thanks for the quickie review, bud. Maybe it's just over-hyped around here.

XTRazzer 09-03-2010 07:46 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Goose Island Honkers Ale is good stuff. Might have a slight bitter aftertaste, but the hops/malt balance was good and not too strong on the hops. Not a heavy beer either.

Picked up the Harvest Ale a few days back but haven't tried it yet.

I bought a 750ml bottle of Duvel this afternoon, and am drinking it now. Really lovely. I had Duvel once before and didn't think much of it. Maybe I had a bad bottle then, but I'm sure enjoying this now.

Very nice. Not sure I ever would have tried this at the full price of 13, but got it at 50% off.

One of the very few beers on my list that I did not like. At all.

Had a nice, albeit short run of Shiner Bock. Now back to the Sam Adams Octoberfest.

Went out for lunch w/ the Mrs., to Famous Dave's. $2 tap pints of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Now there's a good deal.

Lagunitas Maximus IPA

Oak Aged YETI - this stuff fresh on tap is a touch brutal, but in the 22oz. bomber I had today, aged for a few months was nice and smooth.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
picked up a mixed sixer. Three paulaner, one rogue american amber ale, one lake superior octoberfest, and one new belgium hoptober.

I'm drinking a Deschutes Black Butte porter. The local shop has them on sale for $2.49 per bomber.

Excellent flavor, balance and body...way over carbonated. Stirred with a straw to de-carbonate, whipped up a nice head and improved the beer significantly.

What I would do for some Pumking!

I picked up two bottles of Goose Island 312 earlier in the week and drank them tonight. Agree it's mediocre, not bad but nothing special to buy again.

Fatty Boomablatty. I had never heard of this one, a great guy and my beer mentor gave this one and many others to me at a herf last month left it for me. I just got to it and it is really refreshing and drinkable.
