Enjoyed a few New Belgium Snow Day beers over the weekend.....TASTY!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Kona Pipeline Coffee Porter. Very tasty.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Had a bottle last night, and a bottle right now of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout... It's pretty tasty this year and not as beery as last years edition. It's super thick tho, that's the only downside, hard to drink.

12ver of PBR :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

"Enjoying PBR" strikes me as an oxymoron. Or some kind of moron, no offense to Mike. :lr

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Dale's Pale Ale
Smuttynose Winter

Both were quite good :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Founders Cerise

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Great Lakes Christmas Ale - pretty tasty.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

In the "not enjoying" category - Long Trail Triple Bag.
Double bag is pretty good. I always figured Triple Bag would fall in the "similar but bigger" category. But no, some belgian-y prune-y raisin-y crap.


Enjoying, on the other hand, Stone 16th and Lagunitas Little Sumpin Wild

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Everything by Lagunitas is excellent.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

:tpd:

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Just cracked open a Mad Elf Ale.pretty darn good :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Couldn't agree with your more on the Triple Bag opinion.

Scored a brick of Westie tonight - the line was out the door (couple hundred people). I'm not a crazy beer connoisseur, but I had to take a shot at getting my hands on this.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Very nice Vin. Tried one yet?

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Nice, Vin. I was looking to score a brick (I love beer) and couldn't get my hands on any. Me and a buddy had a couple people running around NYC trying to find some for us. I'm sure they'll be on ebay soon enough.

I settled on a couple Keegan's Mothers Milk and a couple Southern Tier Old Man Winter Warmer to help drown my sorrows.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Founders Backwoods Bastard last night :dr:dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Good Night Irene.
Not my favorite beer but pretty awesome for $2 draught pints!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

In a hotel in Idaho, picked up a 6 pack of NB Fat Tire, watching Rudolph and the Island of Misfit toys with the Little One.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Having my last Young's Double Chocolate Stout.
I guess its time to go get more. Its a shame I have to go out of state to get them.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Dark Horse One Oatmeal Stout - tasty

Westvleteren 12 - lives up to the hype, damn good Quad.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I brewed a Berliner Weisse a while back that I like a lot but I had never had a commercial example to compare to. It is a perfect lawnmower beer but I wasn't really sure I had made a Berliner so I picked up a couple examples that I can get here to compare to.

Professor Fritz Briem 1809 - Good, but not all that tart
White Birch Berliner - Great. Nice and tart.

Wish more breweries would get on this style of beer. I'm definitely open to recommendations to seek out if any of you have locals that put out a decent Berliner.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I just finished my first Westy 12. I agree that it was a damn good quad, but I preferred the Rochefort 10. I'll cellar the remainder of the beers and revisit these some time next year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

From what I've read from people with much more sophisticated palates than mine, is 2-3 years is the sweet spot. I plan to try and be disciplined enough to drink one a year at Christmas. But my discipline is typically lacking. :r

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Over the past few days

Terrapin Wake N Bake
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Bell's Winter White
Southern Tier Mokah

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Mmm. Wake N Bake

Having a Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

That sounds like a winner as well :chr

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

The 2012's are great. I wish the 11's were tasting better ( they are great but not for the long haul). I will do a three year vertical soon.

For Science!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Picked up some Big Black Voodoo Daddy Imperial Stout (99 on RateBeer) and Ryan Sullivan Imperial Stout (also 99 on RateBeer) from Beerjobber.com. Thinking about cracking them over Christmas.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Southern Tier Old Man Winter
Southern Tier 2xmas

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I saw those and was tempted. I haven't used Beerjobber yet, any compliments or complaints?

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I got $5 shipping on both. well packed and fast shipping...I would recommend them without hesitation.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Been getting email from them a lot but never used them.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Had six pints of Black and Blues (Guinness mixed with Blue Moon) for lunch yesterday then went back to work and tried to be productive!

Stopped at the beverage center on the way home and picked up a couple things:
- a case of Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout
- a six pack of Lake Placid Nippletop Milk Stout
- a growler of Troegs The Mad Elf Ale
- a growler of Bear Republic Heritage Ale
