I have been doing a sixer of Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA and one of another random IPA that looks interesting (they last a while--I don't drink 'em both at once)--although I didn't get out to get any before "snowmageddon" here in the DC area, so I'm dry for a few days......

Anything from Stone and Rogue I really enjoy. Nice to support a local brewery as well. Drinking Arrogant Bastard at the moment. Stella is also very nice, have that on tap at home.

I haven't tried Glissade yet, but want to get some soon. Here is an interesting review from BeerAdvocate:

Quote:

...this is a replica of the Coors beer from the 70's, the cult classic. If you want to know what all the fuss was about, why kids loaded up their parents station wagons, drove the stuff to the East Coast and made out like bandits, try Glissade, it's a virtual taste replica.

that is interesting. I'm sure Coors of the 70's was a very different product from today's adjunct Coors. I will have my father drink one tomorrow and ask him if it is similar to 1970's Coors.

Glissade is a tasty beer. Pick some up when you get the chance.

So that is a lighter bodied beer, Dave?

I am so uneducated. :r

It's a seasonal beer. I've been wanting to try this for a long time and found a 4pack today. It's a bit bitter/hoppy with some citrus notes. It's a great beer but I still enjoy some of the Ale Asylum IPA's better (satisfaction jackson double ipa and ballistic).

I wanted to try Founders Double Trouble since I've liked everything I've had from Founders. Double Trouble is good, but IMO Bell's HopSlam is better. I'd say that Double Trouble is more of a "western" DIPA, as it's more bitter. HopSlam has the hoppy bitterness, but it's balanced by the sweetness from the honey. Different strokes for different folks, but I like the HopSlam better.

Just picked up a bottle of Sierra Nevada Chico Estate Ale, wondering if anyone has had this and what they thought of it.

I've fallen back in love with 90 minute. I never stopped liking it, but we were taking each other for granted. No more!

Last night had:
Boston Ale
Glissade
Troeg's Nugget Nectar
90 Minute
Expedition Stout
HopSlam

No headache this morning either!

How is this? I saw it today for the first time down here (at Whole Foods Market,) but was $12+/six pack. :eek: Pricey for a hophead, even if it does have 5 different hop varieties!

It's good. Slightly unbalanced (but what hop head doesn't like that?).

I prefer 90 minute which is roughly the same price per bottle.

Popped open a New Belgium Ranger IPA. It's good and would drink it if I was out and about, but I've had better IPA's. It almost has a faint black pepper taste.
