The Beer Thread

[jfz80]

Lots of good beers listed here. Ramon the Porkslap is pretty good; took a complimentary case on the pumpkin pig run a couple years back. It went awfully fast

my biggest issue when I go to the "good store" is making a decision
and this is only about a 1/3 of the isle. MMMM
some really cool brews and a great and knowledgeable staff

Had about 13 ruthless ryes right now. Pretty good but the stress this game is causing me I may need 13 more foe the next 6 minutes

 

[lt1fire]

Yep ended ip with 18 what a game

Wow. Just ask Johnny if you don't believe me.

Wow. Just ask Johnny if you don't believe me.

Agreed, it's delicious! Super thick, tons of flavor. Not a beer you can drink all night, but it's very flavorful. One thing though, I expected the taste of hops to be more prevalent due to the 1000 IBU rating.

Ramon and I sampled some fine brew yesterday:

1. Moylans Double IPA - Good, but wouldn't buy again

2. Don't remember the brand - Black IPA - Lots of carbonation, decent taste.

Just my .02, but Longhammer is hard to beat. One of my favorites anyway.

Man I almsot called you guys from the store yesterday.....couldnt remember the Keller brew.
Fell back on hoptimus prime----almost a bit too much flavor
majaraja--- always a favorite for cold weather consumption
and a Ska brewing Decadent IPA--- a tasty 10 per center!!! i liked alot

IPA on the rocks

 

[GLTHFJ60]

That looks good Jason. It's got a Grateful Dead feel to it. Coated in wax too, fancy

Is that a straw

Wells Banana Bread

One of my favorite flavored beers.

Appearance: Golden in color with a white head that quickly disappears

Taste: Nailed the banana bread taste with a nice combination or malt and some spice I can't put my finger on

Very tasty and drinkable

 

[jfz80]

Is that a straw

Yup and it comes with a foil top...........only for experienced juice box drinkers. (wheres eventhough?)

actually johnny called it right, wax sealed cap

Broke in the ONSC pint glass with a whiskey barrel aged porter last night

Glad to here Al and ONSC enjoyed the "Labyrinth" by crooke river ale's over the weekend. Nice to have malty high octane porter.

Went to Salty Caper's last night and was asked to help finish a keg inorder to get a beer off the wall. Normally that is not a problem....however Dogfish's Black & Red proved too much...when you are dealing with 10.5% chocolate MINT.

Black & Red | Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales

It is just wrong. I finished an imperial stout glass for $3 and tried to find my taste buds the rest of the night.

Ok years ago I had an IPA that was heads and tails better than any IPA i'd ever had before or had since. I was pretty drunk that night and couldn't remember the name of the beer. Then yesterday I found my old friend on facebook that has since opened up three bars/resteraunts in So Cal that specializes in Great beer and craft food. (Got a reason to vacation back home again) He was there that night so I asked him if he remembered the beer.
Lucky me that he was the one that brought it so here it is.

From what i've read this thing has won best IPA in the world many times and has a 100 overall rating on ratebeer and is in the top 5 beers of all time on beer advocate.
Now i'm on the hunt for where to get it over here. If I can't find it i'll have to fly home to go to my buddy's restraunt since he has it on tap

So if you see it let me know

Kentucky Breakfast stout by Founders hit the market today.

Hope you are able to obtain two...one to enjoy now and one to store for later.

 

[JohnVee]

KBS has been one of my favorites for a long time. Mmmmh, good. Appreciate the heads up on its arrival.

Enjoying an OLD PECULIAR right now.

I actually found KBS on draft in two places over the last two months. I think one was Duckworth's on Park Rd. Can't recall the other or its location.

Beer store was out of Hopulent so I got this:





Quite nice Ipa.

At bit "creamy" and malty for me. At 9%+ though, I'm starting to feel it

9% might be on the low side for southern tier..... had their creme brule once..... it put me in a diabetic coma and got me drunk at the same time
