Split these with a couple friends yesterday. We also had the Sierra Nevada 30th Grand Cru and Alesmith Yulesmth Winter. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Lagunitas Brown Sugar

Homebrew:
Northern Brewer Bourbon Barrel Porter - even I have to say this is damn good stuff
Northern Brewer Three Hearted Ale - very sessionable IPA.

Also, anyone out happen to be in a Surly Brewing company distribution area? PM me if so....

Picked up a 6 pack sampler of beers from August Schell's Brewing Company.

Would definitely recommend the Schell's Stout, this was unbelievable. Great flavor with a nice finish. I also enjoyed the Schell's Firebrick Ale, it was a sort of Amber style ale. And the Schell's Dark Lager, it was like a New Castle, except better.

I'm not sure how a dark lager can be similar to a brown ale (except for color).

I just cracked a Left Hand - Wake up Dead Barrel Aged Imperial Stout....we'll see if I enjoy it or not. Upon first taste, it's got that imperial stout taste I know and love but it seems a little light. I'll let this warm up and see if it gets better.

Verdict a big

. It starts off very good but after that goes downhill and the finish is not enjoyable at all. I'd give it a 6/10

Schlafly Christmas Ale

I picked up a 6'er of Founders Porter tonight. It's been a while since I've had some, but damn, this is a fine porter.

Abita Turbodog. Thoroughly surprised at how much I like it! I have never had Abita beer before but this is making me really consider picking up a few 6'ers in the future!

That's just what it was called, but it looked similar to a newcastle, except it was a little darker in color, and had a bolder taste. It tasted very similar tho.

Turbodog is probably their best offering.

Stone Lukcy Basartd

I'm not a huge Stone fan but this one is a winner. Interestingly, it is better than all three of the beers from which it is made, IMHO.

Just finished a glass of one of my favorite regular production beers, Dogfish Head Indian Brown. I'm never without a few bottles of this.

Jbailey · 12-29-2010, 07:53 PM

At a restaurant watching a friend play drums and got a guy from Ale Asylum handing out free samples.

Samples of Mercy and Ballistic.

Got a pint of Madtown Nut Brown.

Bill86 · 12-29-2010, 09:37 PM

Stone Cali-Belgie Very interesting and tasty

Castle Hollow Trappist Ale

Homebrewed by our own Kaisersozei, very tasty and perfect mouthfeel. Thanks again Gerard

Drinking my homebrew tonight; first a raspberry Belgian ale, and then an imperial porter with bourbon and vanilla.
