Drinking a Heay Seas Below Decks from 2009. I still have some from '07 and '08 that's beginning to oxidize just a little bit, but the '09 is sublime right now.

New at a local store - which should I try?

Goose Island - Matilda, Sofie, Pere Jacques
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace

On the goose island front - I don't think I like really traditional belgians - dubbels, trippels, etc. Nothing too fruity or weird. Did not like Three Philosophers, La Fin du Monde, Golden Monkey .... I do like some sort of "part" belgians - Clown Shoes Muffin Top, Le Freak, Allagash Black...

Jbailey 04-06-2012 07:06 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
If you like Allagash Black I would say try the GI Belgians. Their not to fruity or in your face fruit at all.

Funny Brendan, I'm drinking Torpedo IPA at the moment. Good, but not great :)

Salvelinus 04-09-2012 08:17 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
The Harpoon is one of those "I grew up with it" beers for me. Trout River's Rainbow Red is another. I'd never tell anyone they're the best beers out there, but I definitely don't mind drinking them.

I had a Red Poppy Ale this weekend. It was fantastic.

So, I need recommendations for other sour ales that aren't $17 for a bottle.

Try New Belgium La Folie. It has some similar flavors and is around 10 bones a bottle.

Also in FL, but I've had it a couple times, it's delicious......and that makes me sad because its not available down here.

Wanted to mention: had an Ommegang Art of Darkness the other night. Very good Belgian Dark, fruity & tart but also nice roasted & sweet caramel notes. Interesting and was on special at $5 for an 8oz pour, thought that was a pretty good deal.

Gerard, have you had Allagash Black ?


Have you all seen "Beer Wars" ? Pretty interesting. It's on Netflix streaming...

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
I have not, but looks interesting. I've enjoyed a couple Allagash offerings (White, Tripel, & Four), will be on the lookout

I've seriously been thinking about trying to get a beer trade going around here. I have easy access to Cigar City (actually stopped by the brewery yesterday on my way home to grab a few 750's) and it seems to be wanted by those who can't get it..maybe I can get a trade for some 3 floyd's.

PM's man, PM's :tu

But really it's not a big deal to start trading on beeradvocate or ratebeer if you're really interested in trading. Your first couple trades will just require you sending your end first (since you are not verified yet). Brewery releases, or even limited releases, from Cigar City are actively traded for. :tu

BeerAdvocate 04-13-2012 01:13 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
I trade beer a few times a month via BeerAdvocate.com and "other" forums.
Its a great way to try beers that you dont have access to.

I had Sorachi Ace last night.
Very good, though not so superb I would necessarily pay $15 again...

I felt the exact same way, I loved the beer but there are others I would choose at that price

Tonight I'm having Duck Rabbit Rabid Duck
