new beer thread

[Philcore?]

looks like the old thread died.

I just picked up a sixer of Great Divide Titan IPA on sale for only $9. Beer prices are getting ridiculous, but it's better than drinking crap.

I'm really in the mood for some Avery Karma Ale.

recently drank-

Dos Equis
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine
Bell's Expidition Imperial Stout
Stoudt's Winter Ale
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

[davidflores]

I don't drink anymore but I used to buy my liquor at the ueta duty free in california, fuggin' sweet dude! a 24 pack for only 8$!!!

[WhereEaglesDare]

beer is seriously so expensive right now, arghh

[SOULJA BOY TELL'EM.]

last beer i tried was whitehawk. pretty good stuff.

I think I've had something called Double Bastard once or some related ale. Shit got me ripped.

[bradleyd]

Lately I've been drinking:

Harpoon UFO
Sam Adams Summer Mix Pack
Wachusett Blueberry


Tried Opa Opa Watermelon Ale at a restaurant last week, very different.

Recomend me good Hefeweizens. I want to try some new brands.

[Philcore?]

Dang, i am jealous, I really want to try these

all the Stone beers

and I really miss Avery Maharaja and Dogfish Head Burton Baton.

My roommate brews his own beer. He finished his third batch last night, it was dark belgian ale. They've all turned out delicious so far.

On a more trashy note, does anyone know if they still make Olde English in 64oz bottles?

I've seen beer in bottles bigger than 40oz, but not Olde English, and not in Florida (biggest the law allows here is 32oz).


I also make my own beer, but it's been about a year and a half since my last batch. But as soon as I get a couple of paychecks, I'm going to start up again.

Unless anyone wants to send me $50 to brew some up now.

i was in nyc last weekend, i stopped at a bar called hopdevil and had an avery karma. other than that, i drank pabsts at the systematic death gig.

i exhausted my surplus and all i have left in my pantry is two bottles of great lakes lake erie monster (fuck!) and alesmith ipa and yulesmith.

ive been broke lately, so my drinking has been much lower class.

Really? only 32oz? that sucks.

I love getting Growlers of Ipswich Ale and bringing them to a party.

[nigguh p]

i had the DFH golden era today. it tasted more like a pilsner but was rather smooth.


the rest are being stored as i have way too much other shit to get through first

currently cellaring (although not technically as i cant get a temp below 60 degrees. its pretty constant at 62 and that may change when the AC comes on)

fullers vintage ale 2007 x4
o'fallon smoked porter from pappy van winkle barrels x2
sierra nevada big foot 2007
victory barleywine (i will drink this some time this year)
schlafly barleywine 2007
anchor old foghorn barleywine 2007

i forget what else

Today was my last day of college. To celebrate all of my friends and I are going to hike a mountain with a view of all San Diego and drink some Chimay.

blind tiger was on a list of 5 or so places someone told me to check out. i was in the area where hopdevil was doing record shopping so i stopped there. i felt retarded cause i asked about the 4-7 m-f happy hour even though it was saturday.

[tallship]

all i have been drinking lately are abita strawberry harvest, abita hefe weizen, and leinenkugel summer shandy. it's going to be a mickey's hand grenade weekend though.

[nigguh p]

i took full advantage of the happy hour at blind tiger. they were charging like $6+ a pint so the happy hours prices ruled. i stocked up.

ive had so many, i dont even know. i dont like the styles. white ales i can semi tolerate but id rather drink miller high life.

I'm with you, I don't see what the big deal with Belgian beers is, but I do really like Chimay. I'm sure there are other beers that taste similar for cheaper too, I just haven't found any like it yet.

[Guinness Misfit]

Chimay Grande Reserve (the blue bottle) is my favorite of the Chimay, that red one you had is very similar to La Fin du Monde, in that its triple fermented. I thought the flavor was close as well.
My wife was happy that Nashville it is now possible to get Boulevard.

[Philcore?]

I also have a hard time getting into most belgians. There have been a handful I liked, but nothing I'd really miss if I couldn't get it again.

There are some US brewers that have Belgian style beers I love though, like Stoudts Triple and Avery Salvation.

[nigguh p]

boulevard is ok but in st louis schlafly reigns king

stoudts was the shocker of my trip. i'd never heard of it but i lived what i had.

[dothecropcircle]

belgians are ok, but for the price they cost in the states, way not worth it. delirium makes some good brews, but theyre def not worth it. germany and usa all the way. but out of everytyhing, ill take american ipas over everything.

nigguh_p, you ever have greak lakes blackout stout? im not the biggest stout fan, but fuck, that shit is good.

[Matt Even]

Check this if you get a chance. Budweiser just started distributing it.

Its called Wild Blue. Its Blueberry lager made with all real blueberry and blueberry juice. Its pretty good. Like 8% alcohol. Its from a small brewery in New York so some of you might have seen/had it before

Germany has a few beers is really love, but the British Isles win for all round best traditional brewing culture.

also, Norway and Sweden have some really good breweries.

it's a cleveland brewery. they make some good stuff. blackout stout is available 2-3 months a year. i keep forgetting they don't distribute outside of the area at all. they made this imperial ipa called lake erie monster that they had on tap at the brewpub for a bit. they then botted it and sold it in 22 oz bottles so i bought a couple. mad expensive but its a damn good beer.

[MattAttack]

I'm in the mood to try out some new dark lagers. Any suggestions?

[nine years later]

man, straight edge folks really go for the gusto when they break...

i had this last weekend



really good for a fruity beer. easy to drink, not too heavy. 8% alcohol so i wouldn't drink more than a few at a time
