Yer gonna have those nasty green goose poops. :=:

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had some Ram (local brewery) Buttface Ale out of my growler tonight. Can't beat $5 fill-ups!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I wish growlers were legal in GA! My go-to beer is Sweetwater IPA and the fresher the better. I pass the brewery everyday on the way home but no direct sales are allowed here so I have to pay close attention for the latest bottle dates at the local stores. Growlers would insure its always at its best


On another note; tonight I had a Great Divide Hercules DIPA and it was dern enjoyable :)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

It was worse than that, Warren. :r

Went out for a few beers and appetizers tonight. Had a Bell's Oberon, and two Rock Bottom Nut Brown Ales. I was suprised by the RB's, really a nice beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Yeah, growlers are the way to go. I love fresh beer, and the growler gives me an excuse to "overserve" myself - "but honey, I HAVE to drink 64 ozs tonight or else it will go bad, and that would be wasteful!"

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:r:r

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Yeti Oak Ages Chocolate Stout last night. VERY good. Both the wife and I liked it a lot. Heavy, with a rich, malty flavor (to me) with the chocolate undertones (or overtones, however you want to describe it).

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Bell's Oberon with dinner, drinking a homebrew cream ale now. I've retreated indoors, the damn mosquitos would like to eat me alive tonight.

My first Founder's Double Trouble last night--very good DIPA, love the label! :al

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Started yesterday afternoon with Stone Double Bastard, an Arrogant Bastard, then a few Deschutes Black Butte Porters. Great day with family, friends, food and thoughts for the Troops.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sounds like a great lineup Jimmie.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Picked up a 4-pack of Left Hand Imperial Stout.

When I poured it, I was afraid that it would be similar to Samuel Smith's. It had the same look and smell. And was lacking in head, just like Sam Smith.
Boy was I wrong!
This has to be in my top 20 now. Chocolate, caramel, molasses, and a hint of coffee all in good proportion.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Samuel Smith was the first Imperial I tried. Haven't had one since. Imperial's sound like like something I would like, Sam Smith, not so much. Now that I know It's not just me, I'll pick up some Left Hand and Ol' Raspy to try :tu

Right now: Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Three Floyds Gumballhead and an Ale Asylum Ballistic.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I love me some Old Raspy. Never had Left Hand's Imperial Stout, but their "Fade to Black" stout is awesome. Really one of the best I've ever had.

I'm drinking Deschutes Black Butte porter.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I keep eying the Left Hand Imperial Stout at the store, I guess its time I give it a try :chr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

+1 on Fade to Black. :=: Althought it's won all kinds of awards, I don't really care for their milk stout, but Fade to Black is awesome. I may have to try the Imperial. They also bottle an oak aged Imperial Stout, but I've never seen it in my area.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Mad Anthony's APA. Just picked up a six pack, haven't had in ages.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue). This stuff is 'da bomb. I need to find a homebrew clone.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I picked up a four pack tonight. When I got home I noticed the bottled on date was 10-24-07. With much trepidation I chilled a bottle and poured it into a snifter. I was expecting it to be past it prime but it turned out to be fantastic!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Bottled on date.... huh, I gotta go check mine now. I still have one bottle left.

Last night I had a couple of American IPAs from Schlafly while I was eating dinner at the Bottleworks.

WOW!! That has to be one of the best, well hopped IPAs I've ever had!Aroma, flavor, and bitterness were all spot on.
I got a growler to go!

Lagunitas IPA

Yardwork then Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

A little story about the beer I had last night: back in the mid-90's, I found the ale that set me on the path to becoming a Hophead. The Old Dominion Brewing company in Ashburn, VA, released Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale and it quickly became one of my favorite beers. We lived up in Northern Virginia at the time, so it was easy enough to find. I also tried to concoct numerous clone recipes that I happily brewed myself. A few years later, the brewmaster at Old Dominion left for Victory Brewing and Tupper's never really tasted the same. Old Dominion eventually stopped brewing it, and the brewery went defunct. But I still remember that beer as one of my first "true loves" :al :r

Imagine my surprise when, yesterday, I'm wandering through Whole Foods and saw an entire Tupper's display! The beer is now brewed by St. George Brewing Company in Hampton, VA, and follows the original recipe. I picked up a 4 pack for $8, and cracked open a bottle last night:

Great stuff, just about how I remember it. Well balanced pale ale, not quite in the IPA range, more like a hoppy amber. But still very complex and tasty!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

First Sam Adams Summer Ale. Taste a little bit different from what I remember last year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I hate Sam Adams Summer ale. I don't know why, but it was really bad. There are many other summer beers I would go for over this.

Do you like this years better than last years? I don't think I had one from last year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:tpd: And I know why. Tastes more like a cider or pumpkin concoction than a beer.


"Grains of Paradise" does have a nice ring to it though :tu
