Yesterday's beer on my "365 Bottles of Beer" calendar was Kill Ugly Radio, an Imperial IPA from the Lagunitas Brewing Company. Never heard of it, but was apparently an homage to Frank Zappa. Thought I would share this "Quaff Quote" from the calendar page:

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline--it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. --Frank Zappa

Picked up two 6ers last night at the store on my way home.

Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

I've had the 60 min before and it's one of my favorite IPA's. I've also had the 90 min version as well but I tend to enjoy the 60 more. The Smuttynose Pumpkin is new to me though. I cracked open one as soon as it was relatively cool and really enjoyed it. The Smutty didn't have the overwhelming pumpkin pie spice flavor many pumpkin ales have. There was a nice balance of maltiness, spice, and actual pumpkin flavor. Definitely one of the best Pumpkin Ales I've tried. If you enjoy Pumpkin Ale I would definitely recommend this one and also Shipyard's Pumpkin Ale. Although the Shipyard version has stronger spice flavors.

Picked up a six pack of Shipyard Pumpkin, a four pack of Duvel,and a mixed sixer of Czechvar Pilsner, Green Flash West Coast I.P.A., Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale, Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue), Shipyard IPA, and a Genesee Cream Ale.

Rogue Captain Sigs Northwestern Ale - Yummy!!!!

I drank these three beers last night.

Czechvar Pilsner - C+. I would drink this again. For the price it was a good pick-up.

Shipyard IPA - C-/D. Very disappointed in this one. Shipyard usually puts out solid beers. This one just missed. I will not seek it out again as there are way too many IPA's that are much better. I do enjoy Shipyard Pumpkin.

Genesee Cream Ale - D/F - Was not really drinkable. It was my first one and for me it tasted like Sweet/Creamed Corn. I almost poured it down the drain but I managed to choke it down.

kaisersozei · 10-24-2009, 05:51 PM

Some of this

I really enjoy Harpoon IPA, so I was expecting great things from this. Unfortunately, it's another typical "let's see how much malt & hops we can throw together" type of brew, without much character. Disappointing, especially at $11/4pk.

Mikey202 · 10-24-2009, 08:17 PM

Schlafly Bourbon Barrel Ale....mmmmmm good.

Tried an Abita Turbodog tonight. Not bad, tasted a lot like a Brooklyn chocolate stout.
