What beers are you enjoying? - Page 20

I'd like to get my hands on some of this to try, unfortunately it's only available in Hawaii & California--from my "365 Bottles of Beer for the Year" calendar:

Maui Brewing Coconut Porter
Maui Brewing Company, Maui, HI

If you love coconut and chocolate you'll love this. Blend of cocoa/chocolate malt and toasted coconut. Near 7% alcohol adds an almost liqueur twist to this smooth and drinkable experience. Hops are accented at very cold temperatures. Malt and coconut accented at temperatures above 50ºF—which is recommended serving temperature. Spicy Thai coconut red curry with this coconut-enhanced porter is a marriage made in beer heaven. Gold medal award winner in the Herb & Spice category at the 2006 World Beer Cup. (Note: Maui Brewing Company doesn’t use flavorings for their coconut porter—real coconut is added to every batch.)

Sounds weird, but very interesting!

I saw this when I went to the Stone Brewery and wanted to try some but there were just so many Stone brews that I didn't get around to it. It does sound like something one would want to try.

Last night had a B-word (female dog) Creek. I liked it alot. I think it is from Idaho. I need to look into this company and find some more of this stuff.

Polished off this bottle two nights ago....

Pretty good, but a little too expensive.

No micro-brews here in Korea, (not bottled, anyway), but I enjoyed finishing off a six pack of Newcastle Brown Ale. Pretty tasty.

Have you ever had CaFri (not sure on spelling) only place I ever had it was Korea. Good mild beer. Goes great with kimci fried rice.

Just picked up (and enjoying) the Sierra Nevada Pale Bock!!! Yum!!!

Mr.Maduro · 03-24-2009, 08:03 AM

Had this one last night. Very similar to Hoegarden but with less clove on the finish.

Really liked a brazilian beer Kip at Highland Cigars recommended. I think it's called Xingu. Great stuff, unlike any beer I've tasted.

Hofbrau Original

I love this beer. This is what beer should taste like.

Drat's Honilla Old Oak Ale

Never heard of it? Well, that's because it's my latest homebrew mutant. 12% abv and the most complex flavor profile I've done yet. Honey, vanilla, cinnamon, oak, and nearly as black as my soul...

I should have a contest up soon for sending one of these out. It was a limited release (just under 4 gallons) so I can't spare too many...

icantbejon · 03-26-2009, 08:52 AM

Had some Rogue Collaboration from Capital Ale House. It was really tasty, very crisp and refreshing.

I have always wanted to do it but now I am married with two kids and could never have the time to devote to it. Keep brewing....!!!
