Over the past days...

Left Hand Oktoberfest
North Coast Brewing Co. Red Seal Ale
Breckenridge 471

St. Lou Stu · 09-03-2010, 01:59 PM

Haven't had 'em yet, but the 13th is Goose Island Invasion at one of the local iTaps...
Most are meh, but there are a couple that I might enjoy:

* 312
* Honkers
* IPA
* Harvest Ale (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Sofie
* Matilda
* Pere Jacques (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Bourbon County Stout!!!
* Bourbon County Stout VANILLA!!! (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Bourbon County Stout COFFEE!!! (first time on draft in the St. Louis area)
* Pepe Nero!!! (only time it will ever be on draft in the St. Louis area)

Don't waste your time on the 312. It's a medocre American wheat.

pektel · 09-03-2010, 02:48 PM

Grain Belt Premium. Those bastards in the twin cities still can get Nordeast I believe. Someone recommended it to me after it was impossible to find around here.

BlackDog · 09-03-2010, 03:45 PM

I bought a 6'er of Nordeast a while back. I thought Premium is better. You aren't missing much IMO. And I'm saying this as a solid Schell's fan. Nordeast just didn't do much for me.

pektel · 09-03-2010, 04:17 PM

Thanks for the quickie review, bud. Maybe it's just over-hyped around here.

XTRazzer · 09-03-2010, 08:46 PM

Goose Island Honkers Ale is good stuff. Might have a slight bitter aftertaste, but the hops/malt balance was good and not too strong on the hops. Not a heavy beer either.

Picked up the Harvest Ale a few days back but haven't tried it yet.

Founder's Breakfast Stout

BlackDog · 09-03-2010, 10:54 PM

I bought a 750ml bottle of Duvel this afternoon, and am drinking it now. Really lovely. I had Duvel once before and didn't think much of it. Maybe I had a bad bottle then, but I'm sure enjoying this now.

Double IPA homebrew yum

Southern Tier Cuvee Series II (Oak Aged)

Very nice. Not sure I ever would have tried this at the full price of 13, but got it at 50% off.

One of the very few beers on my list that I did not like. At all.

bigliver · 09-04-2010, 10:21 AM

Had a nice, albeit short run of Shiner Bock. Now back to the Sam Adams Octoberfest.

BlackDog · 09-04-2010, 03:05 PM

Went out for lunch w/ the Mrs., to Famous Dave's. $2 tap pints of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Now there's a good deal.

duckmanco · 09-04-2010, 07:10 PM

Lagunitas Maximus IPA

Oak Aged YETI - this stuff fresh on tap is a touch brutal, but in the 22oz. bomber I had today, aged for a few months was nice and smooth.

pektel · 09-04-2010, 07:40 PM

picked up a mixed sixer. Three paulaner, one rogue american amber ale, one lake superior octoberfest, and one new belgium hoptober.

I'm drinking a Deschutes Black Butte porter. The local shop has them on sale for $2.49 per bomber.
