Most are only just short of a normal fill. Some are OVERFILLS. Worst case is half full. All the beer is perfect regardless of fill.
Today I scored 3 cases of assorted Kolsch, Pale Ale, APA, and Irish Extra Stout!

Life is good!

Their bourbon barrel imperial stout is pretty decent.

Enjoying a Cantillon Iris, great sour beer, not so great with a smoke as it takes over though!

Sam Adams Noble Pils. OK, but seems more suited for drinking on a hot day -- kind of light and refreshing.

It was a close race, except for the poor Dry Dock which didn't stand a chance as the anchor against such established classics. IMO the Franziskaner and Ayinger were the best.

Also, it's Stout Month at a local brew pub called Vine St. (sister to the Mountain Sun). Stout Month means ~20 house stouts and ~20 guest stouts are rotated throughout February...great stuff! Made my first Stout Month stop-in on Monday...7th ring is from a Santa's Little Helper...mmmm, stout

Let us know how you think they're doing, if you don't mind - I just picked up a few and am curious what to expect.

Earlier I had a nugget nectar and barrel aged zatec on tap, now drinking some hopslam.

That sounds awesome. Love the Bell's stuff. I had Two-Hearted from a cask once and it was awesome. I bet the Hopslam was delicious!!

Flying Fish Exit 13 Chocolate Stout. Good, but not great. I've enjoyed other "Exit" offerings more....the Exit 1 Oyster Stout, in particular.

Lagunitas Pils

Best pilsner I've had, besides Prima Pils.

ChicagoWhiteSox 02-11-2011 09:38 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
And just a general note about Lagunitas, they are VERY underated. I actually really like most of their beers.

They tapped the cask at 6pm, we got there at 6:30, ordered our first, and by 7:15 or so, when we thought about another, we were told it was tapped out. so about an hour, or even less.
