Working on a flip-top of What is Enlightenment now. Simcoe and Amarillo play really nice together :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

We have the same "brewery only growler fills" law here. Dumb law. They would work great for filling off homebrew kegs to bring to the ballpark/disc golf course/cabin/park/etc., however. No chance of breakage with moderate abuse.

Nice!


Had some Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster and some 2012 Three Floyds Behemoth.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

How was the Lake Erie Monster? Just got my hands on some and havent had a chance to try it yet. I had a Southern Tier 422 last night.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Lake Erie Monster is a decent DIPA.

Grumpy Troll Spetsnaz.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

So I'm thinking I should try some more belgian-y stuff.
I've been avoiding anything Belgian for fear of not liking it, after a handful I tried.
Probably my least favorite of all was la Fin Du Monde.

Didn't like:
La Fin Du Monde
Victory Golden Monkey
Three Philosophers
Goose Island Matilda
... I'm sure there were one or two others but I can't think of them right now

Did like:
Hennepin
Saison Dupont
Le Freak
Clown Shoes Muffin Top
Brother Thelonius
Allagash Black


So - what should I try next?
I can get a decent selection of Unibroue though they have me worried for now... Allagash... Ommegang... Pranqster... Brooklyn 1/2... GI Sofie, Jacques

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I tried one of my Lake Erie Monsters tonight and i would have to agree its a decent DIPA. I liked it, but it was not as hoppy as i was hoping. It was very drinkable.

Im a big fan of Unibroue's Trois Pistoles and La Terrible. Give those a try if you havent alreay. Both are fantastic belgin strong dark ales :2.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Had the Rogue Chocolate Stout last night and LOVED IT! Best Chocolate Stout I've ever had. Anyone have any suggestions for challengers? (Had Terrapins Moo-Hoo right after and wasn't impressed)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Brooklyn?

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

It looks like you liked the Farmhouse Ale / Saison style. Try more authentic Belgian Farmhouse ales, American breweries are getting decent at brewing them too. Stillwater has some good ones, Lost Abbey, Boulevard brewing ect..

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

yeah, i've definitely been on the lookout for saisons, just there don't seem to be a lot of them around here.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Try duchesse de bourgogne.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Colt 45...does that even count?

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

This is the "What BEERS are you enjoying" thread, Colt 45 is swill:r

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

You're killing me! I love Fin du monde, Matilda, and Three Philosophers. Knowing that take this with a grain of salt.

You don't have any of the Belgian Trappist beers on either list. Give Rochefort, Achel, and Westmalle a shot just because you should.

You might like some of the La Chouffe hoppy offerings like Houblon.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Rochefort 10 & St Bernardus Abt 12 are the two best Belgian beers I have had.
But I also love Fin du monde and Matilda! :D

St Bernardus Abt 12 is my all time #1 favorite beer!!!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

allagash tripel ale.

Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

What about making that your sig line, just sayin'.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Whadja think? This one really got me pissed off. I swore off Oskar Blues after this beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I was surprised by you and Bill's disdain for this beer, I loved it and thought it was a solid DIPA. Maybe I was drunk? I am going to get more this weekend and find out.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

ok, picked up Orval, Ommegang Abbey Ale, Tois Pistoles, and Sofie.

Other options were Chimay, Draak, Orval, Allagash...


Opened the Orval. I feel neutral about it. Nothing wrong with it but doesn't particularly grab me.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

also... Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA. pretty good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Damn! :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

2011 version was incredible, the 2012 didn't wow me. Going to let the other bottle I have sit awhile.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Had Trois Pistoles last night.
Tasted like raisin syrup to me :(

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Depends on my mood, but all in all, I like it. It gets a bit too sweet for me after a couple so I don't drink it too often.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

That's some real lite beer, Nate. ;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Took me four months from the release of the beer (two or three from the release of the cans) to get my hands on these:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/attach...1&d=1339880464

Yes, it really is brewed with bacon.

It's.... ok. Not a really strong bacon flavor, one might not even notice it if they don't know to look for it. Other than that, just a decent brown ale.
