is it just me or is Terrapin beer like night & day Waaaaay better than sweetwater?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just knocked out a 6 pack of Corona's...yumm

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I hated, hated Monk's Revenge the last time I had it. This time it was pretty decent. As for Road Trip, I liked it. It is a decent pilsner and perfect for standing out over the grill today. Its didin't blow my mind but I could easily drink a bunch of them on a warm day.

No, they are both good at different things. Both have good (and meh) brews in there regular line-ups but Terrapin's Side Projects are hit or miss. Its weird because when they are on (Wake-n-bake, Hopzilla) they are on, but then they flub on others. Sweetwater's Dank Tank are consistently good beers, rarely great but always good. I guess what I am saying is Sweetwater is consistent but rarely mind blowing, where Terrapin shows flashes of brilliance but when they often seem to miss.


Oh and drinking a KBS as I type :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Founders Dirty Bastard, Southern Tier 2xIPA, and Founders Centennial IPA (draft) at work tonight... I mean.. what?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Rogue Dead Guy Ale today with my smoke at the B&M....1st one and I must say it was yummy

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

07 Mephistopheles Stout, this stuff is dangerously good. I might need to attempt to get a few more bottles.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Friday night R.J. Rockers Buckwheat After Dark. They don't like it much at BA, but it was good for me,
very refreshing and just what I needed. Last night had the Red label Chimay from my three pack, went
with the lowest-reviewed first, it was great with a Cruzado cigar that BC Axeman sent me. Had a delicious
wine flavor but plenty of Ale to keep it balanced. Ironic that I was smoking a cigar with a name like "Cross"
and drinking beer made by monks on Easter weekend. The cigar got great marks on my blog, I was very
pleasantly surprised.

Enjoying a Guiness Extra Stout at the moment. Pairing nicely with a RP Cuban Blend.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

New Glarus Spotted Cow. :tu

Lagunitas IPA....easily one of the most disgusting beers I have ever tasted, it has the flavor of pine. Two sips and I pitched it before I wretched.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Try New Glarus Moon Man.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Gotcha...ever had that Lagunitas, Dave?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Agreed :)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I've had a handful of Lagunitas. Their IPA isn't bad but I enjoy the Maximus more, it's a double IPA.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Different strokes, I guess....I thought that IPA might be the worst beer I ever tasted.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I like Lagunitas IPA. :D

But like Dave said, the Maximus is a bit better.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Have you tried the Goose Island Big John yet Tom?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Maybe I am just a beer dork. :r

Haven't even heard of it, what style is it?

Currently enjoying a Terraping W-n-B Coffee Oatmeal Stout followed by a Anderson Oatmeal Stout. Already shaping up to be a great morning :D:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Diving right in the deep end Seth. Got a few good bars and stores around here for the stuff.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Aventinus

Been too long since I've had one of these. :dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Another banner night at Coffee District last night, we sampled from:

Jackie-O Vanilla Bean Dark Apparition Rum Barrel
Hair of the Dog Blue Dot IIPA
GD Barrel Aged Yeti
Flying Dog - Wild Dog
Upland Double Dragonfly IIPA
Alpine Brewing - Odens Raven (RIS)
Troegs - Scratch Beer #42 - Belgian Brown (interesting beer, wonderful aroma)
Ballast Point - Imperial Porter
Avery 12th Anniversary (very interesting spiced beer)
Captain Lawrence - Nor'easter (interesting elderberry winter warmer)
Crooked Line - IIPA
Etaller - Doppelbock
Funky Buddha - Nikolai Vorlauf (bourbon RIS, very interesting)
Bootlegger's IIPA (knuckle sandwich?)
There were actually a few others that I missed too :r

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Good looking list of beers. I've had less than half of them, sadly. But yes, the Bootleggers IIPA is Knuckle Sandwich. Brewed here in Fullerton. Glad to see they are getting some distributaion.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

They're not distributed down here, some of the guys are crazy beer traders and get the stuff shipped to them from guys around the country. I am doing my best to keep up (pull my weight) and bring good non-locally available beers (we drink local stuff too but Monday nights are for 'special' stuff) but it's tough to keep up with some of them.

Basically we all bring a beer or two and share them all. The bar we meet at is cool, and we always buy a pint or food or whatever, but they actual set up Mondays for this 'beer social' as they call it. Really awesome to get to try these great beers down in S.FL.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

That makes more sense than getting distributed. They are small. I just traded some myself, love to try beers I can't get.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Flying Dog - Double Dog

Tasty! :al

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

bought these to try.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Orange Blossum is terrible in my opinion. but the others are great :tu specially la fin du monde, great stuff there.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

My wife likes it, but to each their own, I guess.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

very true, that's why there are soooooo many choices! :p

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout, fantastic!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

It's the Cohiba of beers.......(there's a joke in there. Can u find it?)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Finally cracked open one of those Old Rasputin Stouts the other night. Aromas were quite dank, beer was
completely opaque, First 1/3 screamed coffee and hints of chocolate, last portions were great, too, but I was
watching torrential downpours and high gusty winds and kind of lost track of caring about nuances.
Great big beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Last night I had

Stone IPA
Jolly Pumpkin Weizen Bam
