TRIPLE

Limited as Nemesis and KBS from what I gather.
I left my store with 20 4-packs.
At $21 each, I don't see them flying off the shelf.:rolleyes:

Yes, yes you do.
It officially just became cold enough to crack one and it is pretty damned good.
Just a touch more bitter than I normally go for at 112IBU, but the flavor overcomes it. No bitter aftertaste at all with a very smooth floral finish. Surprisingly sweet too.
This may sound weird, but it kinda tastes like a Party 898.

I can see myself drinking four in a sitting very easily.

Had tonight:

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron
St. Bernardus Abt 12
Three Floyds Dreadnaught IPA

Well there are so many; Fat Tire, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Red Tail Ale, to name a few. Right now, I would be happy for a Coors Light. In Afghanistan for another 9 Months. We are not able to drink at all. I will read how good the beer is from all of you.

I discussed this topic with my German friends here. They swear by their German beer. I am very partial with US micro brew. What do you think?

We'll throw one back in your honor sir, thank you for your service :salute:



As far as micro brew v. German, there are great beers in both worlds I just see the craft beer world as more adventuresome and having more options.

Jbailey 06-15-2010 10:21 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I've had a great micro brew and I've had a horrible micro brew. There a a lot of breweries that I only like one or two beers from there are others that I like everything they make. I've had some interesting German beers I liked in the past and really like a good Belgium's!

I don't care where it's from just as long as it's good!

Germany makes some good beers, but they are pretty limited in style. The US micros make very good beers with a wider selection than you will find anywhere else in the world. For the most part, the traditional areas still make their traditional beer; German lagers in Germany, English style ales in the UK, etc. The US makes every style out there, including some that have virtually disappeared from their traditional areas, plus our own takes on all of them. The only real exception are the American macro lagers, which are available world wide.

All this German talk had me wanting a good Dopplebock so I just chilled and poured an Ayinger Celebrator and it is fantastic!

I'm sitting in my garage with my wife, enjoying a Chatoe Rogue while smoking an Angel 100 I was bombed a while back. A tasty combo, if I do say so myself. :)

It's an amazing Pale Ale.

opened up a bottle of Dogfish Head Raison D'Extra.

I love this beer!! I would love it even more if it had a better price. :tu

Is that different from the Raison D'Etre? If its the same, its actually cheaper here than any of the other DFH beers.

Jbailey 06-16-2010 05:25 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
It is different and way better than the D'etre!

-edit-

It's called a Belgian Strong Dark Ale with 18ABV!

-edit again-

Still thinking of this and I was amazed to see that this was 18ABV. When compared to the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout with a 13ABV and the alcohol more in your face. This Raison D'Extra is so well balanced it's just crazy. I might have to grab a few more to put away.

I wonder if that's from the beer itself or from aging. Do your bottles have a date on them? I still haven't heard of any later than 2007.

Jbailey 06-17-2010 11:05 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I'll look at the date, where abouts is it located?

Honestly, I can't remember. IIRC it's printed on the bottle itself, not the label, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I'm thinking it's yellow ink. I have some Palo Santo Marron that the date's unreadable on, though.

Jbailey 06-17-2010 04:30 PM

It's very faint but it's says 07.

ahot1pilot 06-17-2010 11:06 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I also agree there are great beers in Germany and in the Micro Brews in the US. The difference is is that the American Micro brews offer several different kinds of beer. From the dark porter to a light pilsner. Hell I love them all. I cant drink Bud or Coors anymore unless I absolutely have too.

awsmith4 06-17-2010 11:16 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I started the evening with Bell's Expedition Stout, then I had a nip of bourbon with my cigar but I am finishing with a Sweetwater Happy Ending :)

Speaking of great day Bookers here!

I feel like I need to grab a drink now.

I cooled down a bottle of Night Stalker, just got to find a few friends to share it with now. I'm not going to try to drink the whole bottle again...............maybe.

I shared a bottle of Night Stalker with Whoodeeni and Itsmetimd a few weeks ago at a herf, it went quite quickly.

Need more of it Albert a case it not enough! :r

I wish there were bars that offered an un-capping fee.

There is no such thing as 'enough' of a good beer
(PSA: Always drink responsibly)

We can't get it here, I did find it in SC last week but opted for the Bear Republic stuff instead but I will be going back for both.

We have a cigar bar here that allows for a cork fee if you have locker. I guess they would allow beer but I've only seen folks pull out liquor

My old cigar store was open so you could bring in anything to drink which was great!

Opening up a bottle of Ale Asylum Ballistic. yum!

Picked up a 4 pack of Surly Bitter Brewer today, along with a bottle of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout. Drinking a Bitter Brewer now. Nice, low abv beer. Will save the BCBCS for a special occasion.
