The Beer Thread

[weejub]

Had never heard of Against the Grain until the other day. Had to buy the "Too Dumb to Be Evil" just for the can

I hope my brother in laws are ready to drink some beer - I have a ton of stuff I am looking forward to try with them.

I'd never even seen it until I was in Louisville.....and I'd be your brother in law, at least to drink beer

Lots of this passed around at the game watching the seahawks play the cardinals yesterday.

 

[weejub]

^^ Looks good - hopefully lots was consumed before the ending of that one to ease the pain.

Beer time with Bro-in-laws this next week!

We have to drink at 580 Craft Beer in town, drink Starlight Mead, Fair Game liquor, and help on some wine we have here from Napa/Sonoma.

I have had many of the below, but wanted to get some local representation: Mystery, Wicked Weed, Olde Hickory, Unknown, Burial, Steel String, West Brook, Windy Hill, Highland, Duck Rabbit.

Still need to get a few more - welcome to any suggestions - wish I had something from Foothills, Deep River and other really close breweries.

Got a care package from NC full of some NC beers but haven't opened it yet.

Argh. You guys are killing me. Enjoy!
Those are some great collections

 

[JohnVee]

@jfz80 Yeah...3...but what size?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Mucinex and beer, works every time and doesn't have acetaminophen, so you aren't at risk of damaging your liver

 

[jfz80]

@jfz80 Yeah...3...but what size?

I figure they mean those lame 3.2% varieties at a measley 12 oz

I believe that I could drink Knee Deep's Hoparilla for many days and be very happy with that beer after having a portion of my third last night. Probably my favorite beer right now.

 

[joyRidaz]

Wow, this one was amazing.

Morning Wood by Funky Budha brewery down in FL, this was one of their special releases.... Got some absurd ratings and now I know why. My folks waited in line he day of release, to enter a lottery, to get the opportuty to maybe buy a max of four bottles at some silly price...

Maple, bacon, coffee, funny name, bourbon... And 13%... Potent and rich. Really awesome... Strangely resembles the oil I drained from my 2F

 

[JohnVee]

There was a beer I liked called Old Engine Oil. Haven't seen it in 4-5 years.

 

[jfz80]

well thanks to @weejub i made 3 bottle shop stops with no luck looking for the hopparilla. Need to try total wine as they always seem to have knee deep. Ended up with a mixed bunch of stouts instead which can only mean one thing around here ....... campfire time

I missed out on the Prarie Christmas Bomb last year after discovering it the year before so grabbed the last two they had today. Had one tonight and man was it as good as i recalled.

 

[weejub]

^^

I need to try some Prairie - - spent some time around OKC and have missed out - heard good things.

 

[jdayment]

We went to Catawba brewing had the Barrel Aged Night Zombie which was awesome.

 

[jfz80]

Dang. You were 2 min from me. Just leaving fonta flora brewery in Morganton. Headed up 192 to cragg.

Friend brought back some of these from chapel hill, enjoying this evening.

 

[JohnVee]

I like that Hummingbird Helles, @pawwright .

@lt1fire, I thought of you when I bought this today:
