I try to drink all my beer at a little chiller then room temp. Maybe it is me but I think they all taste better that way. I will pull it out of the fridge and pour it and not touch it for a few minutes as it warms up in the glass.

Another Sam Adams Imperial Stout. Wasn't all that impressed about this beer the first time around. Since I grabbed a 4 pack, it gets a few more chances...

Spaten Optimator right now, out of a full 24oz stein as God intended.

But the beer itself left me decidedly underwhelmed. Wonder why I "missed" it? This is supposed to be like one of the world's top 5 beers. :confused:

I drank one of my 22oz Troegs Java head stouts. It has gotten better since I first bought it I can say that much.

Beer, cigars, it doesn't matter what you're talking about. In the end it comes down to personal preference. Just because someone says a cigar/beer is the best in the world doesn't mean you'll like it.

Double Bastard... Much smoother than Arogant Bastard

Drinking a Lagunitas IPA. Boy am I liking this a lot. Grapefruit, pine, a nice malt finish. Really good.

Indeed. Furioius is a beer that deserves to be drank without interference from other flavors. A wonderful beer.

Such a great beer. Leagues better than the regular bastard. I wish they made it year round.

Hanging in Wichita and having some beers from boulevard brewing. Had the Wheat and IPA, not bad.

Drinking a CynicAle. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but really it's pretty enjoyable. It's a Belgian Style Ale, but very drinkable for me even though I'm generally not going to reach for Belgians.

Somebody on the west coast needs to host a group buy on these for us east coasters! ;) :r Seriously though, it would be nice.........

Arrange a trade with a west coast brother. They can't buy DFH, Great Lakes, or Southern Tier out there.

Drinking a Weihenstephan Original. Oh man, what a great lager. Seriously, I thought I had sort of "outgrown" lagers, but this is just wonderful.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Now I'm drinking a Founders Backwoods Bastard. I've never had a Scotch ale before, and this one is aged in bourbon barrels, so this is a totally new experience for me.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

1 Bomber of Hazed and Infused
1 Bomber of Double Bastard Ale
4 pack of DFH Peche (for the Wife)

At Trader Joe's

A Sixer of Mission St. IPA

I cracked my first beer in six months yesterday - a cold, delicious Landshark. It's good to be home from the desert.

Thanks, guys. What was really surprising is that two Landsharks gave me a hell of a buzz. I'm seriously out of practice.

I'm drinking a SN Celebration while I cook. We're doing an early Thanksgiving dinner today since our family is going two different directions over the long holiday weekend. So today we're doing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. I've got a bottle of Saison Dupont to go with dinner.

Drinking a Summit Horizon Red Ale. It's decent, but not remarkable. IMO it's too hoppy for this style.

Just had an Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewery. Damn good ale...

That is a pretty tasty winter ale. So far my favorite one.:tu

I cracked open the Wheat beer from Boulevard Brewing. I'm not a big Wheat beer guy but this isn't to bad.
