Here is some beer **** for Skywalker. My local shop is clearing these out for $3.99 each. I'm sure the hops are not as "sharp" as when they were fresh, but it's still a darn nice beer. Making some fish tacos for dinner tonight, I think they will go nicely together.

Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Stout. Good stuff

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Newcastle Brown Ale. It doesn't get much better.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I can agree with that, one of my favs!

Right now I'm enjoying Miller Lite :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

as soon as i post pictures of my haul"you guys need to decide what i should drink tonight haha" standby:

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You may be interested to try Cigar City's Bolita Brown Double Nut Brown Ale. It's made in Tampa, FL, so I'm guessing it will be pretty easy for you to find in your area. One of the best in the "English Brown Ale" style.

And heck, it's Double Nut, so it's gotta be good, right? :ss

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Schells Snowstorm Baltic Porter with a Punch Churchill.... not bad at all

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Cigar City is suppose to be brewing some damn good beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Founders: Breakfast Stout


First impression, Really digging it!- Not 100% how it stands up to Surly's Coffee Bender, or Averys Czar...

But Its brutal and Loving it

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Fantastic beer:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Definitely! I seem to like these darker beers colder, after tasting a few as they warm up... But all in all I continue to enjoy every taste!:su

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm drinking a Cigar City Double Cream Ale from a growler I bought this weekend. They are making some excellent beers and being recognized for it. Still difficult to get even here in SoFla. I have a bunch in the fridge to hold be over for a while.

To me Coffee Bender is my least favorite of Surly's four "regulars". Too much like a coffee drink and not enough like beer. But they sell the heck out of it so I am clearly in the minority opinion.

The other beers you mention are thicker - more viscous- than CB, which is a brown ale cold brewed with copious coffee.

Jai Alai is one stinking awesome IPA. I just hate that they're funded by the strip club industry in Tampa.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I will have to revisit it tomorrow, I remember the drinkability from it was very high- But was probably my first Dark rich brew besides Guinness etc... This is a great new venture for me! Cannot wait for the next mysterious glass

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Drinking a Boulevard Single-wide IPA, my first. This is a nice IPA, will certainly buy more in the future.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada Kellerwies and 2010 Bigfoot Ale.

Bought an extra six pack of Bigfoot to put in the back of the fridge.:D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Another one of my new favs. John Henry 3 Lick Spiker Ale

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

TASTY! My first Boulevard was a Double Wide, which I tried the single first but my only local shop in Clear lake offers a few extreme IPA"s only in some selections.. BOOO!

right now i am trying a Founders Backwoods Bastard.. Wow, not what i expected.. Thought it was going to be much richer, darker, but it has a really light mouth feel, not much of a bourbon kick but possibly the proof ;) I seem to taste more of the barrel, and the Bourbon mouth 'burn' rather than much flavor, But I am enjoying it :banger

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada Glissade tonight!!!:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

how is it :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

BTW, ST, the Baltic Porter from Schells is pretty much a thick syrupy meal in a glass, plan accordingly. I love thick beer and I could only comfortably drink one without feeling like someone would poke my bloated gut with a sharp stick.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Right on mr. Pete!
Going to vegas any time soon?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Founders Double Trouble.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Very nice Warren!!!

I have a few bottles left!!!

Mmmmm would be great with fish tacos!!!:dr

BTW - They serve fish tacos at the Brewery!!!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

enough of a glass of Surly Furious to do a review on beeradvocate... and then my cat felt it necessary for it to be aced on the ground.. Soaked into my couch and floor.. Awesome =]

Obviously his tastes are different from mine cause O'h was I enjoying that furious.... =[

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I love fish tacos. :dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

working through 2 abita sampler packs... Reminds me of home :(

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

had my first Sierra Nevada Glissade last night. Won'tb e my last, it was very good. I think I heard (maybe here?) that this is supposed to be the same recipe as the "original" Coors from the 1970's. If that's true, it was a great beer. I'll be buying more of this for sure.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I was thinking "Black and Tan" the other night. Tried to layer a Schell Stout on top of a Summit Horizon Red (think Surly Furious Jr.). It didn't layer well, either from poor technique or wrong SGs, but it was gosh darn delicious.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

HARPOON Celtic Red ale:tu

Very Tasty:dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I didn't get that from Horizon, maybe I need to try it again. If it really is Furious jr., that would be a nice cost-effective subsitiution on occasion.

Here is my review from BA:

12oz bottle poured in a cylindrical Hobgoblin pint glass.

A- Nice deep red with one finger of head. Clings nicely to glass.

S- Hoppy, citrusy aroma up front, with a bit of molasses in the background.

T- Like the smell, this has plenty of Hops and grapefuit up front, and finishes with light malt. However, there is a metallic aspect to this that I find unpleasant. Seems a bit unbalanced for an amber ale. IMO should be a bit more in the malt deparment.

M- A bit thin, and a bit too bitter for this style. I'd prefer less carbonation but it's certainly not excessive.

D- This is certainly a fine sessionable beer, but I was hoping for something more. I'd like to try this on tap too see how it compares to the bottled version. Summit seems to have "good" beer down pat, but I'd like to see them release a couple of "great" beers.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Picked up He Brew Jewbilation and Lagunitas Gnarly Wine yesterday. I'll try one of them tonite. The Gnarly Wine seems low ABV for a barley wine. Are you guys sipping this or drinking a full glass?

Edit: Now that I've thought about it, a sipping barley wine would be much more costly. I'm pouring a glass.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Gotta be america's oldest, Yuengling Lager.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Having a glass of Westmalle Trappist Ale Double.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Now onto the Westmalle Trappist Ale Triple.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Anchor Liberty Ale

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:tu

Me,I am having some delicious Blue Point Hoptical Illusione. Good stuff.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada Torpedo- For a supposed extreme IPA.. I find it very mellow, Floral, crisp and fruity with out a strong astringent back bone of more.. well.. Hoppier IPA's?

Diggin it though, think Furious Jr's cousin's Brother hahaha

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

They make some REALLY good beers. I wish we could get them out here in MA.

I've had teh Hebrew Jewbilation a few times. It's a decent beer. I found it to be overly sweet for my taste. However, I really appreciate the cheekiness of this beer company. It's called "Jewbilation Bar Mitzvah" and there are 13 kinds of hop and 13% ABV. Plus, they brewed it to celebrate the 13th anniversary of their company. They actually threw a mini-Bar Mitzvah for themselves last year at the Great American Beer Festival. It was pretty funny.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just about anything. :r

Last evening at the W.H.A.T.:

Rouge Captain Sig's Northwestern Ale (wasn't expecting much but was very pleased)
Founders Double Trouble
DFH 60 Min
Chimay Red (your right again Dave! :tu)

Glad you enjoyed it Greg.

If you can get more NG beers and would like to do a swap for some cigars, please PM me. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

For making black and tans at home, you might want to try this:

My sister's boyfriend gave one to me...it still requires a little delicacy, but it definitely makes it easier and is kind of a cool addition to a bar. No affiliation with the company, just thought I'd point it out.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had the Lagunitas Gnarly Wine last night. First taste is a blast of orange blossom honey that fills the nose and coats your tongue. There's a nice hoppiness through out. Not as sweet as it may sound, really good. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Own it.... its Brutal.. I dig it ... Go buy it :su
