What beers are you enjoying?
A thread for you all you beer lovers out there! So, what's in your glass?
For me: Thomas Hardy's Ale (from 2001!): like really, really good guys. I bought four packs and am gonna let them sit for a long while. So awesome. Boad's Robust Porter: this one was from a brewery that I didn't know existed the town next to me. Not bad either. Like a Smuttynose RB but lighter. Hoppy Otter: It was indeed hoppy. Pretty good, from the UK I think. Liberty Porter: I like Porters. This is a good one. Sam Adams Octoberfest: My sister made me buy this. She works at the best liquer store around (college job) and insisted I buy some cause they sell it like crazy. It's pretty good I guess, but not outstanding. Drinkable but forgettable. Innis and Gunn barrel aged something: quite good. Sweet with some vanilla flavors. I liked it alot, probably a little too sweet to drink all the time but a nice change of pace beer. Banana Bread beer: I forget who made this, wasn't wells. It tasted like bananas and beer. Ipswich Oatmeal Stout: Tom brought some oatmeal stout (forget which, help me out Tom!) to one of the joed herfs and I liked. So I picked up a sixer of this and it is very tasty, but very thick and heavy. Nice stuff. Hacker-Pschorr original Oktoberfest: I liked the the HP whitbier but this one I didn't like at all. It just tastes bad. Maybe I got a bad six pack, but this is seriously some of the worst beer i've had in a long while. Ommegang Abbey Ale: It smells like a fruit bowl when you open it up. slightly sweet taste, nice rich kinda leathery flavor I guess. A good stab at a trappist ale, but not quite as good as the real deal. Duchesse De Bourgogne Ale: this stuff is awesome. Just awesome. That's all i'm going to say. Go buy some. Now. Well, that's all I can remember right now. I can almost feel myself getting fatter just typing this lol. |

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
have had a few microbrews lately. Being in college, the parties consist of kegs filled with the usual crap. I do like Leinenhugel honeyweiss however
|
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Right now? Geese ... at the risk of getting banned .... Keystone Light. Lately though I've really been liking Bell's offerings such as two hearted, oberon, kalamazoo stout, etc,
|
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I've been enjoying some Black and Tans lately as well as the Sam Adams Oktoberfest.
|
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Bellhaven Scottish Ale lately....both good as the cold weather sets in up here in MA.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Left Hand Brewery makes an Octoberfest that is pretty darn good. Another seasonal beer that I was shocked how much I liked was Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale. I bought a four pack not knowing what I would think of a pumpkin brew, and it was outstanding. Picked up a four pack of Dogfish Head's pumpkin offering, and while good, not as good as Weyerbacher's.
I'm into porters too, but theres not a very good selection where I shop. Anchor makes a decent one, and Troegs makes a pretty good one too. I'll have to look for Liberty's. I love hoppy stuff too. The last couple Phillies games I went to (NLDS game 2 and NLCS game 1 :)) I drank Victory HopDevil. Damn good, especially for a ballpark offering. Citizens Bank Park (the Phillies home stadium) has a wonderful selection to choose from for a major league stadium. |

I had Pliny the Elder this weekend. All I can say is that it blew my freaking mind. It literally made DFH 90 minute taste like malted water. Seriously, no hops in 90 minute at all after having Pliny.

It's made by Russian River Brewing Company. They also make Pliny the Younger which is supposedly hoppier yet. Also, the younger is 11% as opposed to 8 something %. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
My go-to's are Sierra Nevada Pale Ale & Bell's Two-Hearted Ale, but I'm looking forward to the seasonal brews that are starting to pop up--especially happy to see that Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout is out again, and just tried my first Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale! MMMMMM :chr
The DFH 90 Minute IPA clone I brewed earlier this summer is just about ready to start crackin' :dr And I've recently picked up some Lagunita's IPA, Heavy Sea's Below Decks (barleywine by Clipper City Brewing) and some Icehouse for the wife. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I like Belgian beers, anything really, but mostly trapists

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I'm a big fan of the Unibroue Fin du Monde, a Belgian-style triple from Quebec with a little more spice than a typical Belgina triple like Chimay.
I've also been on a big Leinenkugel kick lately... |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I've been sampling all the Oktoberfest editions recently but still haven't found none better than the Hofbrau release.
Also have about 12 Harpoon's UFOs in the fridge. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
My local pub is tapping a keg of Dogfish head Punkin’ Ale tonight. I’m sure I’ll order at least one or two. I just hope I don’t end up pukin’ from the punkin’:pu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
This is a thread I'm going to keep my eye on. There are quite a few beers on here named already that I've never heard of or tried. I think that I'll create a To Try list!

Kasteelbeer is nice as well, I had Johnnykay5 try some when we were at my place. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I've been enjoying Stella's lately. Before that I went through a Corona phase. Not sure what was up with except that my buddy in the Key's had several cases at the lodge. I hadn't really liked Corona for years before then :ss.

Mmmm...Keystone Light Generally do a lot of the Great Lakes offerings, as my local hang out has several on tap. Been drinking the Edmund Fitzgerald a lot (as usual) as well as Burning River and I think the Nosferatu (sp?) is coming out soon. They also have the Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock on tap as well as Spaten Oktoberfest...so I do my best to give all the handles an equal workout as often as possible. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Bells HopSlam a friend gave me this weekend. Damn this is good. Very hoppy, slightly sweet imperial IPA.
Loving every sip. |

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
My standards are either Nevada Pale Ale or Summit Pale Ale. I bought a 6'er of Summit Octoberfest yesterday, will have one tonight with dinner. I like the occasional Guinness draught, in fact am drinking one right now.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I've actually really enjoyed the Sam Adams Octoberfest this year. I've been drinking TONS of seasonal beers right now. I love all the Octoberfest and pumpkin beers this time of year. I recently picked up a few bottles of Dogfish 120, and Raison D' Extra and some Breakfast Stoute which have all been great.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Lately I have been drinking the Mississippi Mud, but my selection can change in a minutes notice. It depends on what grabs me as I cruise the BevMo.

For me its Sam Adams Octoberfest, since I can only get it a few months out of the year I stock up. By far my favorite beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
For some insane reason I picked up some Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde. I wish I had bought Monty Python's Holy Ale instead. IF you see the Strawberry Blonde walk past it!
