It's not Bud bad, but it's close, good thing I have a bunch of non picky friends coming over tonight.

Had some of Bud's new American Ale while S.H.I.T herfing at SD Beerman place last week.
It isn't too bad a draught beer for being Budweiser:al:al

Being punkin beer season have been drinking quite a few - Dogfishhead, Ichabod, Weyerbacher, Post Road, etc.

Had a Great Lakes Brewing Barrel-Aged Blackout Stout (Blackout Stout aged in oak bourbon barrels, ABV: 9.0%, IBU: 85) at the brewery the other night, yum.

So many good beers named here (excepting the keystone light, bud, and PBR, but then some people smoke white owls too:D) I have in my fridge right now, Troegs pale ale, Sierra Nevada wet hop, and one bottle left of Houblon Chouffe double IPA belgian triple.
Tommorrow I am brewing a Belgian Dubbel with a twist, an addition of cherry wood smoked malt added to the brew.

I like oak aged beer, gonna have to keep an eye out for this one.

Old Dominion makes a really good oak aged stout also, give that a shot if you happen to see it!

Definitely look for that Innis and Gunn I mentioned in my first post. It was barrel aged and tasty :dance:

Seldom venture far from my beloved gin martinis. However, we were in an Irish pub in Boston last weekend and the wife ordered a Black and Tan for me. Loved It! "Great Taste, More Filling."

Now I'm thinking that I need to buy some Guinness and Harps, disfigure an old kitchen spoon and try it again.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIED EEL RIVER'S RAVEN'S EYE THEN STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GO FIND SOME NOW AND TRY IT.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

THAT IS A SURPRISINGLY GOOD BEER.

Okay, We've sampled Aventius Dopplebock, Nostrodamus Belgian Brown Ale and Unibroue Epherma (spelling bad). After the Aventius and another dark beer I can't remember, the Epherma was like drinking dirty water.

Then we moved to the Raven's Eye. DAMMMMMNNNNNNN! That will knock something into the dirt. It's 11 percent alcohol. (okay, maybe it was the all the other beer we had first). But you cannot see through this beer.

It's Ephemere. If you are only into heavy, dark beers I'm not surprised you don't like it. I think it is great - refreshing and bubbly and the green apple flavor is subtle but very nice.

If you want to give Unibroue another shot try the Trios Pistoles or the Chambly Noire.

Yeah. Well you try spelling it after the other ones we drank (Aventinus, Raven's Eye, Triple Exhultation, Bellhaven Wee Heavy). Not to mention the Beck's Dark, Paulenar and Abita Pecan Ale we had before we started hitting the heavy stuff.

I've had the Trios Pistoles and the Unibroue 17 and a couple of their other brews. They are all good. I agree the Ephemere is probably an excellent beer for an early afternoon before you've had anything heavy. But we went from the beer to medium rare new york strip steaks and grilled onions and mushrooms...

In all fairness the ephemere never had a chance after the beers he started with. without a serious palate cleansing it would be hard to taste the ephemere after those brews.

Actually we were using clean glasses and rinsing with chilled water between beer. But we probably were kinda numb by the time we reached the Ephemere. (neither of us were driving tonight anyway._

I think he was talking more about your palate being destroyed for a while after the other beers so your taste would be off for the other.

My neighbor works in beer industry, not exactly sure what he does but something with distribution. Anyways, he got me a mini keg of some German holiday beer, not sure what it is because it is all written in German but I will try to get a picture up later. Was really delicious stuff though.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I'm getting stationed in Germany for the AF in a few months here. I'm going to go nuts over there with the beer. Really looking forward to it.

Last night I opened the fridge looking for a Sam Adams Octoberferst, but the lovely wife failed to tell me there was only one left (I can never have just one). I had to open the Pyrat Rum instead.

Wednesday night I had two pins of Hazelnut Brown Ale from Rogue Brewery. Stuff is so tasty, though I'm hoping that next week Horse Brass gets in the new Lagunitas espresso stout in on tap.
