Pint of Murphy's right now. Yummy. At this point preferring Guiness though, but it's on the same level as Boddington's for me.

Spaten Oktoberfest Ur-Märzen, in a giant stein as God intended. I wish they made this year-round, it really is one of my favorite beer styles. Not too hoppy, not too grainy; just right, and very quaffable even with all of its flavor.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Not much of a fan of the Oktoberfest brews I've had to date. Just not for me, I guess. However, I am currently enjoying a Spaten Optimator. Just a good doppelbock.

Made in interesting beer run a couple of weekends ago. Picked up a 6 pack each of:

Woodpecker Hard Cider
Hobgoblin Dark English Ale
Old Speckled Hen English Ale
and
Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.

They are all good.

Have seen that Vanilla Porter, and wondered if it's worth giving a shot. Been digging stouts lately.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Wanger - I like the Vanilla Porter. It has a slightly smoother and sweeter taste than most porters and the Vanilla isn't overpowering.

Hornitosmonster - I find Old Speckled Hen to be enjoyable. I don't know if its the best English Ale but it's something I would buy again. Maybe someone from England could weigh in on how it compares with other English Ales.

Out of the four, I have to say I like the Hobgoblin the best.

Nice score. I have only had one bottle EVER, and have wanted more every day since. I live where they dont distribute to, so my one bottle came via a trade on BeerAdvocate.com

Hey, Family! I'll Admit I'm A "Newb" When It Comes To Specialty Beers. Tried My First Sierra Nevada Pale Ale And It Was Too "Harsh". Love The Sam Adams Octoberfest, However. Does The Sierra Nevada Have More Barley, Hops, Or What Compared To The Sam Adams? Any Suggestions As To What I Might Like?

Thanks!

Ok here we go

I think Sierra Nevada uses more hops or use a stronger tasting hop for the majority of their beers (idk their porter and stout are AMAZING). Now for Sam Adams, if u have ever had a regular SA Boston Lager, (to me) its much hoppier than say a Yuengling or other American lagers.

If you havent looked at this site http://beeradvocate.com/ you really should. They have alot of reviews, info, and anything else you could ask for about beer.

For beers to try. I would go for any Oktoberfest marzen out now. Hefeweizens are really good...um to me porters and stouts arent really hoppy but idk about your tastes.

Im sorry for just rambling or not making any sense.



I LOVE hops :D

PBR is a good bang for your buck beer. Nothing wrong with it. :D

right now I'm enjoying Stone IPA as my regular because Costco has cases for $27. But Costco will soon run out so I must tell myself that this is just for a limited time...

Yesterday's beer on my "365 Bottles of Beer" calendar was Kill Ugly Radio, an Imperial IPA from the Lagunitas Brewing Company. Never heard of it, but was apparently an homage to Frank Zappa. Thought I would share this "Quaff Quote" from the calendar page:

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline--it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. --Frank Zappa

Picked up two 6ers last night at the store on my way home.

Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

I've had the 60 min before and it's one of my favorite IPA's. I've also had the 90 min version as well but I tend to enjoy the 60 more. The Smuttynose Pumpkin is new to me though. I cracked open one as soon as it was relatively cool and really enjoyed it. The Smutty didn't have the overwhelming pumpkin pie spice flavor many pumpkin ales have. There was a nice balance of maltiness, spice, and actual pumpkin flavor. Definitely one of the best Pumpkin Ales I've tried. If you enjoy Pumpkin Ale I would definitely recommend this one and also Shipyard's Pumpkin Ale. Although the Shipyard version has stronger spice flavors.

hornitosmonster 10-22-2009 09:56 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Picked up a six pack of Shipyard Pumpkin, a four pack of Duvel,and a mixed sixer of Czechvar Pilsner, Green Flash West Coast I.P.A., Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale, Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue), Shipyard IPA, and a Genesee Cream Ale.
