For a self-proclamed "beer snob" you sure do have a lot of Rolling Rock. :pu

We used to drink this in the early '70's when we were broke graduate students ( are there any other kind of grad students?). Might have to pick up some next time that I am at Kappys.

In general I am not a beer snob, I normally drink Bud and Milwaulkee's Best Ice when I am just drinking beer and not thinking about it, kind of like smoking a Rocky Patel when my mind is elsewhere. However, I do keep Newcastle and either Harpoon or Sam IPA for when I want to enjoy a beer as much as I enjoy a nice wine or bourbon. Generally being of Irish heritage there is some Guiness in the basement refrigerator also. This morning one of my neighbors that I cleared his driveway and walks in the past two snow storms and will take care of for the rest of the winter dropped 2 cases of Stella Artois on me this morning. I love this stuff and buy it when I want something different with class. Having a mug now with my steel cut oatmeal. Quite a bit more kick than American lagers.

Tried some Full Moon beer the other night at a buddy's house. It's the seasonal version of Blue Moon and it's pretty good. Going to have to track some down before it's all gone.

Genny Cream Ale is Adams favorite beer! :r

Picked up some Brooklyn lager night. Not bad.

A co-worker/employee just got back from Amsterdam (with a 1-day stop in Belgium) with a six-pack for me:

1 Westvleteren 12
2 Rochefort 10
1 Pannepot Old Fisherman's Ale
2 Gouden Carolus

Time to plan out the 6 special occasions to drink these!

Sam IPA? They haven't made that in a while. Do you mean the Sam Imperial Pilsner? It's kind of like an IPA.

I have about 3 bottles that I snagged from an old case that my BIL had. Wish that it was still made, did not like having to switch to Harpoon.

Whoa! Nice score on the Westvleteren! I have never had it but the reputation and mystique are out of this world. I just had the Gouden Carolus on tap last night. It was very good. Let us know what you think of the Westvleteren...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I was out sick from work yesterday when my employee returned with the goodie bag. He sent an email saying he left some beer on my desk. I'm so happy you cannot believe.

I'll probably cellar it until this summer and crack it open the night we finally move into our own house. I'm a very patient person...

Magic Hat #9. What's the deal with them, 4months ago they were a hard to find beer at establishments. Now they are everywhere. Did a big company buy them?

Hal (HK3) hooked me up with some Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and some Founders Breakfast Stout!

The bourbon stout was potent but delicious, I haven't tried the other just yet! Thanks again Hal!! :tu

Pyramid Hefenweizen with an orange slice and Belgium Fat Tire are my frequent choices. Can't forget the Stella Artouis as also a must......

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I went on a diet Jan. 1 (of course) so I haven't been able to enjoy any brews lately. If I could have one right now it would be a DogFishHead 90 minute IPA imperial. Great beer and I think it is around 9% ABV.

Here is link to Founders http://www.foundersbrewing.com/home.php
It's located right here in my home town. I am partial to the Dirty Bastard brew. Very full of flavor and not overly hoppy. The Oatmeal Stout is another full flavored brew.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Troeg's Nugget Nectar imperial amber is out. the wife picked up a case for my birthday. A really great beer that has the flavor profile of a well balanced IPA, even though they call it an amber. Wish it was available year round, but it's great while it lasts.

Heatmiser 01-22-2009 11:22 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Last night I had the Ommegang Rare Vos for the first time. This will be a standard in my beer fridge going forward. Very, very good!

Kentucky Ale - Bourbon Barrel http://www.kentuckyale.com/kentuckyale/index.html

a no brainer, they house the beer in old Bourbon Barrels - tastes like a "boiler maker" right out of the bottle, YUMMY!
