I'm drinking a Trader Joe's Vintage 2009 strong dark ale. They're made by Unibroue, and sell for $5, but only at Trader Joe's. If you like Belgian-style beers, this is a great value.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

put some budweiser or coors in front of me and im happy, im not much for the fancy or imported beers.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:tpd: :dr Great price

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I know I'm supposed to say something like "Drink what you like, like what you drink," but man, you are missing out on so much.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

well i tried heineken and thats definately one of my least favorites, but im willing to give the ales and whatnot a try considering they seem to be pretty popular around here it seems

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Heineken is one of the worst imports going. In general, avoid any beer in a green bottle. They skunk very easily, and Heineken in a bottle is almost always skunked. Heineken in a can is better.

Since you live in Indiana, see if you can find some Three Floyds "Alpha King Pale Ale". It is the top pale ale in the USA, and made in Indiana. Or Three Floyds "Gumballhead". It's a wheat ale, and is the top wheat ale in the USA. Three Floyds is a very good brewery.

You probably also have Great Lakes, Founders, Bell's, Goose Island, and Victory products available where you live. Try their pale ales, lagers, pilsners and/or wheat beers. These types will be a more comfortable step for you into craft beers than jumping into India Pale Ales, which have more hops and can be somewhat bitter. Goose Island "Honkers Ale", Victory "Prima Pils", Great Lakes "Dortmunder Gold", Great Lakes "Burning River", Founders "Harvest Ale", and Bell's "Amber Ale" are all great beers which should be in your area.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

hm alright ill give them a try and tell you how i liked em. heineken turned me off to imported beers but if you say they are the worst of the worst im willing to try some of the ones you have listed.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm drinking a Sam Adams Cream Stout now. The TJV2009 got a little tiresome. 750 mls is too much for one person to enjoy. This cream stout is tasting great.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

im done drinking for the night, had my share of stoli and budweiser. mixin those will be sure to habve me ffeelin like crap tomorrow... oh well hahah

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I hate to be a party pooper, but I think its best not to encourage underage drinking. According to Walnuts, he is only 18.


I've had a few Shiners and a few Pete's Wicked Ale's this evening.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

well ya know underage drinking is the most commonly broken law, not making it right but he is not by any means encouraging me because i will not drink any more or less because of his influence just havin a chat. but i do see where you are coming from.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Ok thanks for the heads up. I had no idea he is underage.

You better stick with pop for now, 'til you're old enough. Of course you're old enough to go to war, where people try to kill you, but you're not old enough to drink 'cuz you're still too immature. Makes perfect sense. But that's a discussion for a different board.

aw shucks... only orange crush for me :( hahah

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Ain't it the truth, Warren. Had a few ;) Moosehead in my younger days, I think that beer was intended to smell like skunk. :r

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I enjoyed some Moose Drool last night. Great stuff, I am really becoming a brown ale fan. Best one Ive had so far:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

A good brew indeed. I love the Sam Adams line, most of the beers are very tasty not to mention at 7-8 bucks a six pack it's quite worth it to me.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I remember my first Moosehead hangover. It was rather brutal if I remember correctly.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm currently drinking a Lake Superior Father Duluth Oatmeal Stout. I used to not like stouts, but once I figured out that you need to drink them cool and not cold, it makes all the difference in their flavor. Take the bottle out of the refrigerator and let it warm for half an hour, and you've got one of the nicest drinks possible.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm drinking a Sam Adams Cream Stout now. Then I'm going to sleep.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm drinking a Founder's Breakfast Stout. This beer is soooo good. When the Holy Trinity get together for a beer, this is the stuff they drink.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I need to find some Founder's B.S. I love stouts and I keep hearing of this one.

Trying Landshark lager. To say it's a full step above O'Douls is a stretch. Not to mention it tastes like typical light Anheiser crap. Meh.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Coors Light!! ( I know, I know) but I have had about 17 of them:banger

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You and your friggin coors. Hell, I drank some too :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

There it is, Coors. something ive actually heard of! if it has ale in the name i havent tried it, but from what i hear i should.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Stoudt's Smooth Hoperator. I don't care what you call it, an IPA or a Dopplebock....it's just plain good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm eating fried fillets of bluegill I caught yesterday, steamed greenbeans, dirty rice, and quartered apples; paired with a bomber of SN Torpedo. Talk about good food. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Your killing me Warren:dr:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Still have some Moose Drool for tonight. It is my favorite brown ale by far.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Enjoying my 4th Guinness....practically a meal by itself. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Drinking a Left Hand Milk Stout. Nice & smooth, good tasting stout.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada Wood-Aged Old Ale (blend of Imperial Stout and Scotch Ale aged eleven months in oak bourbon barrels)!!!:dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Goose Island Matilda and Pere Jacques are must tries! Fullers London Porter is good this time of the year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold last night. One of the nicest lagers made in the USA. The malts make it smooth and creamy.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

These are especially nice. Got one in the fridge.:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Surly Furious with chicken & green bean curry for dinner. Good eating. Man I love that beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had the Matilda last time through Chicago, I enjoyed it.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just finished a bomber of Full Sail Barleywine. I'm feeling fine right now. ;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a DFH Olde School Barleywine while watching Inglorious Basterds Friday night:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...oldeschool.jpg

I love "big-beers," so I really enjoyed this one. It's brewed with dates & figs, which gave it a pleasant flavor and sweetness that complemented the malt and went well with the hop bitterness. At 15% ABV, I'm sure it will age just fine, too. :al The label says:

Directions: Open bottle, pour contents into two snifters. Enjoy. OR: walk hand-in-neck into the middle of the woods. Use a shovel to dig a 2x2 hole three feet deep. Seal the bottle in a plastic bag. Place in hole & pack with dirt. Memorize location & leave. Return exactly one year later. Dig up bottle, open & enjoy.

Those guys up in Delaware are a bit off... but they make interesting beer! :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Widmer Pitch Black IPA last night... Pretty good, very different. Didn't go great with my Tatuaje Noellas, so I think I'll try it with a maduro next time.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Read Brewing up a Business if you haven't. Gives some great insight into why they do what they do, makes me enjoy their beer a bit more. They like beer...a lot.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada Stout

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I drank a Goose Island Nut Brown Ale before. Nice, but a little sweeter than I think is right for this style. I'd prefer it to be a bit more bitter.

Now I'm drinking a Tyranean Hop Whore, which is the bomb. Think of red grapefruit juice with 8% abv. Yum.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Last night I drank a Surly Coffee Bender. I liked it OK, but IMO it's too much like a coffee drink and not enough like beer. I'll drink the other 3, but it's not something I'd buy again.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Drinking my Simcoe IPA that I brewed with some wildflower honey. Tastes so good in the mouth but the aftertaste kills it. I accidentally burned the wort during the boil.

I drink my mistakes though... :-)
