I had another bomber of this. Still some bottles out there. Seriously, I thought more people would enjoy this as much as me, but apparently its me and Warren that love this beer.:r

Fat tire is very plain...I call it the best of the gas station beers....which means....nothing.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Fat Tire either. Most of NB's stuff is just not for me. Their 1554 is decent though.

I had a bottle of Boulevard Long Strange Tripple last night. This was super good, and at $8 a bottle is well priced. If you haven't tried it before you really ought to.

Has anyone ever noticed that Pine Sol and Fat Tire are almost exactly the same color? Has Mrs. Icehog recently increased Tom's life insurance? :r

Brooklyn Monster Ale Barleywine

Brooklyn Black Ops

Been a good night so far. Matt-n-GA came over with his family and on top of enjoying great beers together we bottled our first homebrew. At midnight I intend to finish the year off/bring in the new year with George T Stagg as does he. Happy New Year CA beer geeks, maybe this year will bring pints-a-plenty and good friends to share them with.

This was a bottle from 2009 (thanks to Matt) and it was FANTASTIC! Try one now, but if this bottle proves true, sit one down for a year and it will please you greatly.

Mrs. Icehog hit the road long ago, Warren. :r

Last night I had Three Floyd's Alpha King, Mississippi Mud, and several Guinness. The host tried to give me a Fat Tire and almost got a fat lip. ;)

I will first say it's not as complex as the Coffee (fresh) but still pretty damn tasty.

I also want to say that the coffee is starting to fade a bit from the BC Coffee.

icehog3 01-01-2011 02:12 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
My last BCS Coffee was a pretty big letdown after the first few, Dave. Might be time to chug-a-glug-glug.

I have some of the Vanilla here, we best drink it before it goes South! :D

The coffee was still the favorite of a few people at the tastings I think it's not going to make a long haul. I will agree on drinking it while it's still good.

As far as the Vanilla just let me know and I'll make it down.

Lion Stout. An area store has it on sale for $6 per 6 pack. It's a heck of a stout at that price.
