Green Flash Double Stout. Pretty good beer overall. Kinda expensive for a 4pack though.

I agree. Green Flash is an excellent brewery. Their entire line is very good. But they've put a premium price on their beer.

Rather than buy at retail, I prefer to visit the brewery/tasting room. It's 2 miles from my home.

Yeah Green Flash has great beer for sure. I just wish their beer was priced a little better. Did you snag any Silva Stout? I hear that beer is finally drinking good.

No. I'll have to go by there and see if they have any left.

I believe they only released it back in 2010. They might have released a 2011 vintage, but I didn't hear about it. It would have been in the fall.

Do you know how many bottles were released? I assume less than just the regular release bottles...

I enjoyed it, Kevin....not great, but good with a nice full bodied cigars.

Sounds like it's a one-off as well, so might as well try it soon, likely your only chance.

I'm this very moment having a SN Celebration Ale, but ever since my visit to the Czech Republic, my true love has been Pilsner Urquell. I've yet to find a suitable, reliably available domestic alternative, but every time I find it on tap my face just lights right up...

cobra03 01-04-2012 10:17 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
Had a few good ones at our weekly tasting last night
DFH World Wide Stout
Keegan Ales Mothers Milk
Wagner Valley Sled Dog Dopplebock
Ommegang Tripel Perfection
Ommegang Hennepin

The DFH World Wide Stout and the Tripel Perfection were absolutly fantastic. The WWS had quite the kick.

Comparing to Pilsner Urquell, Live Oak Pils might be the closest American brewed pils. :2

Prima is my favorite Pils. Hands down best American IMO.

Fully agree on that. It's my favorite commercially available pils. Just that Prima Pils is hoppier than Pilsner Urquell (and probably less residual malt). Which is a good thing for some and others not so much.

There are some American versions on this list that might be worth sampling.

For me, I'm not sure how well Summerfest & SA Noble Pils stack up against the original Urquell (especially on draft,) but you might find something you like here.

I had some Dog Fish 60min IPA the other day. Very tasty!!!

I will say the SN Celebration Ale was very good this year! I went back to get more and they were out...

:banger I hope it turns out to be a blessing that these guys decided not to open the pub back up. Maybe they'll get more beer into circulation.

By the way, Heady Topper is really good stuff! Wish I could get it more often than trades.

Nice to see others not be scared of cans. I love the fact I can take my favorite beers with me to the river, lake, hiking, etc.. and not worry about glass.

They had the Pilsner Urquell on tap at a bar down the street from me for a while. No one there drank it and it went on sale for 2.50 for a 20 oz. tap. I think I drank at least 2/3rds of that keg. Love that stuff.
