Just acquainted myself to the Deschutes family, had a bottle of the Deschutes Black Butte Porter and really liked it. Followed up with the Deschutes Obsidian Stout, which is also a dark brew but slightly heavier in body with the hops and malts, yet both I found very mild. Liked them both.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Deschutes makes some amazing brews. Check out the Abyss if you can, great Imperial Stout:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Wow, does not appear the 'Abyss' is redially available in my area; having said that, went to their website and just so happens next week end there's going to be a ' Hops N Barley' festival in my area and Dechutes, along with numerous over local and out of state brewers, are reportedly going to be present.. Hey barbeque and a few brews, life is good. Going to email Deschutes and advise them to bring a few cases of the 'Abyss'. Thanks for the 'heads up' always looking for something new!!!!

Again reinforcing my opinion that Lagunitas is one of the most overlooked breweries around. Everything they make is fantastic.

GREAT brew!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I am adding one I am NOT enjoying. I predicted this day would come, not sure I thought it would be so soon,
but I am growing tired of Delerium Tremens. Too much carbonation. I guess I could leave it uncapped in the
fridge for a few hours aforn drinkin' it, but I used to LOVE that stuff. Oh well, it'll save me a little money, haha.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

3 Weeks sober, not by choice, what I'd do for a beer right now.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I'm game for trying most anything, but cucumber beer? :confused: I don't understand where the inspiration comes from and I enjoy cucumbers in a salad or as a veggie snack. I know of one company flavoring vodka with it, and now beer. I have to ask and sincerely, was it b/c it was CCB making it influencing your purchase or you love cucumbers or just a wild hair you felt when at the package store?

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I don't know about Cucumber beer, but I believe Hendricks gin is infused with cucumbers, and it's freaking delicious...

Drinking a Troeg's Flying Mouflan from 2010 tonight. The hops really mellowed over time and it was an easy drinking 9.3% abv let me tell ya. Either that or it could be the 100 degree weather!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I've had this beer before on tap at the brewery, and could not wait until they bottled it. The cucumbers really create a refreshing saison and an extremely drinkable beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Thank you, your explanation is enticing. Hopefully CCB will be distributing to Chicago soon then I'll try this and many of their other highly regarded offerings.

Later tonight, Schlafly's Reserve 2011 Barleywine. Had the 2008 and it was delicious, looking forward to trying this one.

Lagunuitas Lucky 13

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I'm really intrigued by this beer. Take some water and put it into the fridge with some slices of cucumber in it. After a few hours you've got a refreshing treat. The flavor isn't overwhelming, but it is there. That intensity of flavor is perfect for a saison. I will say I'm more intrigued knowing its CCB, they can probably do exactly what I'm envisioning. Wish they distributed up here. Hoping hill farmstead gets some for their saison fest.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I agree with the power of the simple cucumber. That tiny hint of acidity, the cool, crisp sensation of freshness, wetness,
sweetness. At first it does sound hard to imagine drinking, but I bet it's good.
