Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I had the pleasure of hanging out with the Great Lakes Brewery reps tonight.

As a background, the bar I frequent brought this brand (out of Cleveland) to the area (Buffalo)....literally. Before they became popular, he would drive to Cleveland or Erie to pick up a keg at a time, long story short they are now in many bars and also in all of our supermarkets.

Naturally, I had some of their beers, mainly the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. I truly enjoy that as well as all of their non-wheat beers.

They will be coming out with two new beers for any of you in the area, a German inspired beer (little info) called Glockenspiel and a seasonal Marzen style beer (also little info).

Just opened a Red Stripe.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

It was the wifes birthday today and we enjoyed two bottles of the Chimay Blue and Red as well as a few Stone IPA's with some friends...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I think it was mentioned earlier but Young's Double Chocolate Stout is pretty damn good...

I am actually enjoying some cider, Magners Irish cider to be specific. Nice change from beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I love Magner's. I think it's also known as Bulmer's in Ireland. Try Strongbow if you see it.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Ive been drinkin alot of Sam Adams. Ive been into the winter sampler packs and so far the only one I dont like is the cranberry lambic and the cream stout bein my favorite, I also like the Holiday porter

Had a few Harp Lagers at the Metallica concert last night....the venue didn't have Guinness. :mad:

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sam Adams Cream Stout is good. The only Sam Adams beer I like in fact.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Paulander Original Munich that my brother gave me for Christmas.

It's pretty yummy.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Belhaven Twisted Thistle (india pale ale)
Young's Double Chocolate Stout - plain YUM!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

There's a beer from Full Sail Brewing Co that I had lately called "Session Lager" in short stubby bottles....thought it was great.

I used to be in the wine/beer/liquor business as a rep and knew Sam Calagione when he started Dogfish. Great guy, great product...I just wish I could get the flagship Dogfish Pale Ale where I'm living now.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Orval early this morning :r

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I bought a couple Ommegang samplers that had a Hennepin, Chocolate Indulgence and a Three Philosphers. It also came with a glass. I love all three
of these beers

I also bought some Stone Brews. Ruination IPA, Arrogant Bastard, Double Bastard, and Smoked Porter.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I dont really like lite beers but if I had to drink one and tonight I am. Im currently workin on finishing a 40 of miller lite. I wish I had the 750 of Rouge Imperial red ale but as of now this is all I got...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

One of my favs, I swear that I can taste bacon as an aftertaste in this beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sam Adams winter lager. Great brew.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Bulmers is similar but a different brand. Strongbow is a staple in every pub I've been in here. It is good also but it is different than the other two. Not as sweet with a dry finish.

You need be wrned this stuff may seem like a girlie drink but can sneak up and knock you on your arse.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Im still really enjoying the Sam Adams winter brew pack, workin on my fourth and really like em all minus the cranberry lambic. If I wanted an ale and cranberry juice I would go get some damn ocean spray!!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Coors light, It has a complexity unlike any of the before mentioned beers:ss

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:r

I picked up a 6pack of Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA. Not bad, it lists 7.1% alc & 60 IBU, but I think it's a bit on the malty side. Doesn't compare to Victory Hop Devil, which I'm also drinking these days.

On the look out for that Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA that skywalker mentioned recently--hope it's not just a local Chico brew :(

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Or Coors Light!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Well after being Pimped at the Cincy Herf, I've become a Bells Hopslam Ale dirty ho.
Great stuff although $$$.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You need to move to the West Coast!!!:D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just try Flying Dog's Double Dog Double Pale Ale. It'll be hoppy enough for you.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I started with a Circus Boy made by Magic Hat. Smooth and lemony. It went well with dinner.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I passed that over for the IPA--for the same price I went with quantity (6 vs 4pk) over quality. Maybe I'll get some tomorrow!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Super Bowl Sunday selection - not necessarily in this order:

Dogfish Head 60 min
Victory Hop Devil
Samuel Adams Black Lager
Victory Old Horizontal Barley Wine
Flying Fish ESB

Overall, a good beer day! :al

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a few Coronas while watching the game.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Cracked open my bottle of Root's Epic Ale during the Superbowl, and it was epic (both the beer and the game.. crazy finish). It was quite fruity in the finish, almost wine-like in some ways. It's probably too "sweet" for most beer drinkers, but I found it to be a fine sipping beer. Also helps since it's also somewhere around 13-14% ABV, so going slow is good (unless you're aiming to get sloshed very quickly). Due to it's seasonal availability and it's high cost (about $22 for a 22 oz bottle), it's one of those beers that I'll do once a year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I had the Brooklyn Black Ops last night. Limited release bourbon barrel aged chocolate stout. It's similar to the black chocolate stout, but smoother and has that great bourbon barrel aftertaste. Highly recommended if you have $20 to spend on a 750ml bottle...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Alot of the Ommenang line right now. Belgian Style brew that works with Duvel to produce some pretty tasty beers. Three Philosophers (9.8% alcohol bomb, redish ale brewed with a hint of cherry), Chocolate Indulgence (A great chocolate stout hitting at 7%), Hennipin (lager like if i remember correctly around 7.7%) the Ommenangdon is a citriousy wheat like brew at 8% and the Abby ale was a very good dark lager like brew at 8.5%.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

When I first tried these I didnt like it but the more I drank em, it got better and better and better.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I find this to be true about almost any beer!!! The more I drink the better I like!!!:D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I am looking forward to being back in Cali and getting some OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is so good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Did you buy that three pack sampler with the glass?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

So tasty with a smoke.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I like Leinenkugel's Wheat, Chimay, Blue Moon, and if I have to it is Michelob Ultra or Bud Light.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

If you are looking for a good place to drink beer, I can recommend the Flying Saucer. It is a great place with many beer choices. www.beerknurd.com for locations.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Holy crap this stuff is good! I like it much better than the original SN PA and that's one of my favorite go-to IPAs. And it's only $1 more/six pack. :dance: Thanks for the heads' up on this one, Darrell!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sam adams light the best light beer ever....:ss.......they know what they are doing...

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sierra Nevada E.S.B. (Early Spring Beer). This stuff is crazy good.
