I had a New Belgium Abbey (tap) last night with a pizza (Punch, great pizza), and liked it very well. Will need to buy some more to see if it holds up without the pizza.

Saturday evening I enjoyed a Ruby Lager by Old Hickory Brewery (local) and a DFH 90 Min IPA. Both were very good.

Was it a bizarro DFH 90 Min IPA?

I had a new beer from Blue Hills Brewery in Canton, MA. It's their IPA and it's really good. One of the least bitter IPA's I have had and a general 1st class product. Can't remember much else about it but would recommend it. I wonder how far outside of New England this beer is distributed?

Earlier tonight, a Flensburger Weizen. It was OK, but I'm thinking it may have been old. Now I'm drinking a SN Celebration. These are fabulous.

I am having a Widmer Broken Halo IPA right now and will be cracking a ....











Costco.... (Kirkland) beer in about ten minutes. :tf :confused::)



I think out of the sampler pack the Pale Ale will go against my favorite Summit. It better give it a run for the money.

I was at Costco today and heard they just put out their beer. I missed it this trip.
Let us know what you think Pete.

I had no idea Costco had their own beer. I was in Trader Joes yesterday and they have their own beers too. Let us know what you think of the Costco beer

I had a couple of Pilsner Urquells last night as I watched the Isles flyers game last night. Though they lost they actually look like they are moving in the right direction. So now I have some beer for thanksgiving.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wonderful stuff. I'm stocking up a few extra 12 packs since it's seasonal and I'm not sure when the supply will run out.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Okay. Costco beer sampler case, including a Pale Ale, Hefe, Amber ale, and a German Lager.
The PA (must not be an Extra Pale ale)... not as good as Summit EPA. The Hefe has a touch of something ... slightly off, like a sourness of a farmhouse, almost. The other 2? not sure yet.

I had a Santa's butt porter and a Black Coal Stout last night. They were ok but not worth the money IMO.

I just finished a Tyranena Hop Whore. This may be one of the most enjoyable beers I've ever had. Think ruby red grapefruit juice, just freaking awesome. Great use of hops, and enough malt to kick in some sweetness and backbone. Man that was SO good.

Odell Isolation (on tap at Old Chicago)
Rock Bottom Desert Trail Pale (on tap at Rock Bottom)
Sierra Nevada Celebration ( on tap at Old Chicago)
Roadrunner Brown (on tap at Rock Bottom)
Rock Bottom Perpetual Burn Double IPA (Special Brew on Tap at Rock Bottom)
Rock Bottom Bourbon Stout (Special Brew/4 oz Sample at Rock Bottom - 13% Alcohol)
Hazed and Infused IPA (Bomber at home)
Firestone Union Jack India Pale Ale (Bomber at home)

A lot of beer tonight.

The Rock Bottom Perpetual Burn Double IPA was extra :banger Try it if you can!!! I will most likely pick up a growler if any is left...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Finishing the night with Anchor Porter. Very tasty and creamy, but I would almost call this a stout. I like porters to be a bit "crisper." A few more sips and off to bed.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Also need to add that I went to Bevmo tasting of Shiner Holiday Cheer, Alaskan Winter Ale, Lagunitas Brown Shugga, Samuel Adams Winter Lager, and Blue Moon Full Moon Winter Ale.

I know the guys since I go each week. They give me more then generous pours.

Shiner Holiday is pretty tasty I think I got one left from my 6 pick the other day.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale...nice but very heavy on after taste also not as sweet as past years.

12 Dogs of Christmas Ale....brewed by the original brewer for Great Lakes, I really enjoy this brew over GL. Definately sweeter honey and better spice blend.

Sam Adams Cream Stout is one of my favs when I can find it. I love stouts and porters in general I wish I could find other cream/milk stouts.

Yes it is.

Had a few Christmas beers, Great Lakes and Rogue were my favorites. I wouldn't want to drink many of any of them though, not my thing. Had a Heavy Seas Peg Leg Imperial Stout tonight, it was decent, although I am very picky about my Stouts.

I also took a keg of my Kentucky Common and American Pale Ale to family Thanksgiving that both got demolished. Everyone loved them both. I need to start brewing more, family functions are killing my pipeline. I never have any beer for myself!

Had a Furthermore Knot Stock with dinner. Very interesting beer. It's an IPA that is brewed with the addition of pepper corns. There is a definite taste of pepper around the hops.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Had a Southern Tier Unearthly last night. Not a bad beer but not really my thing. I prefer my IPAs with more grapefruit flavor and this one had more of a "cat piss" thing going on. Also, the first flavor hitting my palate was a strong almost bourbon like sweetness. This beer had a good amount of body too.

All-in-all a decent IPA just not really what I look for.
