Yep.

Green Flash brewery is a mere 2 miles from home.

Danger, Will Robinson. Danger. Danger

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Lucky dog!! How far from Russian River Brewing??

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

540 miles. :sad

Stone is 20 miles. :)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Better than the 2528 miles it is for me...


Tonight I am enjoying a Southern Tier Mokah Stout it is outstanding

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Heard Stone is a great place to visit. Had a good friend of mine take a business trip out to SD this past winter.. He said there is great food there, plus one off brews and plenty of outside seating.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Correct on all counts.

Southern Tier Creme Brûlée.
Hmm. I took a few sips and kept thinking I knew that exact flavor. Finally figured it out... The cheap, flavored "Cappucino" that comes out of the machine at gas stations. Dead ringer for that flavor.
Not really all that impressed with the beer.

I appreciate that hard-won knowledge.....it will help me greatly as I hunt for the perfect beer for me.
Not really a IPA guy, and the stouts I love can get to be a bit much, especially in the deep south,
of which I am not in but feel right now as if I was. HEY, LOOK, A COOL FRONT NEXT WEEK....only 94.

Wow, some really amazing beers:dr:dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

yeah it was nuts, one great beer after another

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

No kidding. You had way better stuff this weekend than I had.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Wow, Tony, awesome set-up! :tu

Just finished a kayaking weekend with some buddies. No pictures of beer but we enjoyed:

Union Jack IPA by Firestone-Walker
Belgian Brown by Blue Mountain Brewery
Dark Hollow (nitro tap) by Blue Mountain
Dale's Pale Ale
Summer Solstice by Anderson Valley (they call it a Cream Ale, but it's really more like a Cream Soda Ale--very vanilla & perfumey)
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
Wrecking Bock by Castle Hollow Brewery ;)
Hops.I.Am (2012) by Castle Hollow

And one of my friends brought a 4 year old bottle of his still mead (17%) and a carbonated ginger mead (very dry) that we split.

Good times :noon

Robert the Bruce

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Ruination 10th

It's a good beer standing on its own. However it doesn't seem all that much like Ruination. Ruination is this dry, bitter beer that's all buttering hops. I guess to get the higher alcohol in the 10th they had to increase the malt to an extent that it is more noticeable - the overall balance changes from utter imbalance to something not quite as extreme. Again it's a good beer, just not what I was imagining. I'd say it reminds me more of Lagunitas Maximus than of regular Ruination.

Still love the label though :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Rocky River Black Magic Coffee Stout on Sunday, thanks to that TOE right above me!! :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Actually Long Trail Brewmaster Series Coffee Stout but the other one sounds good too :D
Glad I could see you Tom even if only briefly.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

It was great to see you too, Julian, twice this year already! :)

Damn, I thought the name had a "river" in it.....well, you know I liked it, I killed off most of the growler myself. :D

Mongo IPA from Port? If so, I love that beer!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

yup. it was even better for the first 2/3 before i fell asleep on the couch. final 1/3 was kind of warm ;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Too much high abv IPA's can do that too you:r

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Try their Wipeout Ipa, pretty good as well.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

yeah i like wipeout a lot too :tu
now if only i could buy it locally instead of in MA or online... distribution really is pretty lousy in NH

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

NH doesn't get a lot of variety that's for sure. You are close enough to some really world class beers in your neighbor states though.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

How much of a drive is VT for you Julian? Heady Topper would be worth the drive if you're close enough. Got a can of it a while back in a trade, it was one of the best beers I've ever had.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Salvelinus brought me some in a trade and I've been enjoying it since then ;)
VT is about 5 mins, stores that have Heady are about 40 minutes.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

There's a beer called Wipeout? How awesome--I might have to try one. While watching Wipeout. While listening to Wipeout. A synchronicity trifecta!

Lambick X. Blend of 2010 and 2011 lambic ales. The lambics are from local Belgian brewers, blended/bottled/sold by Vanberg and Famille. Zero carb in this lambic. But I still love it. Funky cheese, sweet hay, earth, oak, lemon, twang.. Just a great Belgian lambic. More bottles will be aged

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I've really been digging the sour ales recently. I think that Rodenbach Grand Cru is probably my favorite so far. They've pretty much all been good though.
