Re: Let's talk good beer
 

^ So what's the report?

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Im so glad you asked. I was alittle buzzed and it smelled amazing. Took the first sip- was like strait up whiskey. Kind of mellowed out but it is NOT a late night capper. Lol. Would need to be your first drink of the night.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Its aged for 70 days in a oak whiskey barrel.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Sounds good, I think I may have had it before.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

beer prices are getting out of control.

i paid 18.99 for a sixer of great divide's titus and 14.99 for a sixer of firestones union jack.

Because of the explosion n the last 10 years of good beer and the hops market. It sux.

I think we are going to find much like the Wine market, you wont/dont have to spend $100 to get a good bottle of wine, the you can spend $15 and find wine that has been cared for greater and taste just as good. The first place you need to look is the local market.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

they way i justify spending good money on beer is to think how much of a deal i am getting for awesome beer to drink at home vs stadium beer. in that way, $3 for 12 oz of great divide is an awesome deal!

when im at the stadium, i have to adopt the YOLO mindstate.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Grabbed a 6er of [url=http://lagunitas.com/beers/little-sumpin-wild/]Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild[/url] after enjoying their Little Sumpin' Sumpin Ale'.

Heavy floral and citrus notes, was expecting a hoppy bitterbomb (72 IBUs) while drinking, but because it's a belgium style IPA, it's rather smooth. But at 8.8%, 2 had me feeling pretty good on a Wednesday night. Highly recommend it. Really digging all I can find by Lagunitas.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

yeah, ive gone a lagunitas bend lately. I like the lil sumpin for day time sippin but havent seen the "wild" version yet. i probably need to look closer at the labels. i generally dont like belguim styles though ...

stumbled upon a great beer store - canton crossing beer n wine. they have a lil bar and you can get a pour then walk the store browsing (beer stores in balt city can only be open on sunday if you have a lil bar). its in the new target/harris teeter/old navy/chic fil a shopping center right off boston st in baltimore. (would be an easy on n off from 95 for any passersby). they also have a rewards program and the sales clerk started talking all these diff types of hops.

picked up a variety "brewers choice" from great divide for $20 and a sixer of firestone union jack for 12.99. the great divide has 4 beer selections, one of my favorites in titus, but 2 others are belguim and my dreaded belguim white.

their cigar selection is lacking though .. piss poor selection. no patel, no CAI

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Picked up my first 12 pack of celebration ale of the season. Looking forward to enjoying a few today with the games.

Sculpin is one of the best IPAs out there. Big guy is good too don't get me wrong but I'll take Sculpin any day of the week. One thing that makes a difference is due to its price Sculpin sits on shelfs longer increasing your chance of getting it past its prime. Its a beer that goes downhill 60-90 days after bottling.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

Had several Eastern Shore (MD) brews over the weekend...

Met a buddy of mine at [url=http://16milebrewery.com/]16 Mile Brewery - Bold Session Ales, Georgetown, DE[/url]. Had a pint of their Tiller Brown Ale, a sample of their small batch called Killer Tiller, which is their Tiller Brown Ale infused with 8 different peppers (including Habaneros, Thai Peppers and Ghost Peppers), and a pint of Seed Free and Joy, which is their blonde ale infused with watermelon.

Then went to a beer pairing dinner in West OC, MD featuring [url=http://evolutioncraftbrewing.com/"]Evolution Craft Brewing Company[/url]. First beer was Jacques Au Lantern, their pumpkin beer. Second was their Secret Spot Winter Ale, which felt like a flatter Sam Adams. And the last beer was their Rise Up Stout, which was my favorite of the night. Very "thick" coffee stout.

After that, went out to [url=http://burleyoak.com/]Burley Oak Brewing Company in Berlin Maryland | Be Burley[/url]. Had their Nitro El Camino, Brown IPA. Another tasty offering.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

redskins mike - i looked for a brew date or best by date on a bottle of sculpin but only saw code .. one night i might google the codes and see what comes of it.

BD - you always go cool places. im extremely jealous.

got a sierra nevada snowpack .. the boomerang IPA was really really good, the coffee stout and ale is okay, all porters suck. i dont know why they still make porters.

I need an amazing pumpkin beer, any suggestions?

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

I'm a huge fan of Celebration Ale. Great beer, picked up a case of it.

I also discovered a terrific craft brewer out of Quebec while I was in Disney. The Canada section at Epcot's world showcase was featuring beers from Unibroue.

I tried these and LOVE them:

If you like Troegs' Mad Elf, you'll love this one.

[B]Unibroue La Fin du Monde[/B] [url=http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22/34/]La Fin Du Monde | Unibroue | Chambly, QC, Canada | BeerAdvocate[/url]
And if you like Victory's Golden Monkey, you'll love this one. It beats Golden Monkey.

Anyone using the Untappd app to track your beers?

I was in Disney last week. Glad to be back.

What a trip, dragging a 3 and 6 year old through those parks is no easy task.Every single person in my family at some point had a break down.

M - i would really rather take the family to atlantis or something but i imagine in a few years i will be spending 10k for a disney trip just to stand in outrageous lines and pay outrageous prices for outrageously warm flat beer.

schneed - i usually stick to american beers for freshness purposes but im gonna try adn find the 2 beers you mentioned ... shouldnt be too hard to remember Unibrow

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

@OTM - Trust me, I had been planning to hang out with a buddy of mine who lives in West OC for about 5 months now. Took us that long to nail down a weekend. Just glad I finally found time where we weren't busy with family stuff.

[quote=Mattyk;1095814]Anyone using the Untappd app to track your beers?[/quote]
I do: BDBohnzie54

Had some friends over Saturday evening, so I grabbed a few 6ers and had some friends bring different beers.

[URL="http://www.lancasterbrewing.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=115&Itemid=189"]Lancaster Brewing's Winter Warmer Ale[/URL] - I loved last year's version, and this one I think is better. Great winter spice bite. Very drinkable.

[URL="http://sixpoint.com/blog/recent/introducing-the-sixpoint-global-warmer/"]Sixpoint Brewery's Global Warming[/URL] - My first beer from Sixpoint, and found it quite tasty. Imperal Red IPA, good hop bite.

[URL="http://www.breckbrew.com/brews/vanilla-porter"]Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla Porter[/URL] - Decent porter. Wasn't fantastic but worth trying.

Newcastle Werewolf - Decent red ale for a macrobrew.

Instead of dessert, I opted for a DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus topped with homemade whipped cream. Whipped cream soaked up the chocolate peanut butter porter and was delicious.

Haha. Yeah mine are a little older, 5 and 8. They're just past the nap stage. We still tried to pace ourselves, building in a break in the middle of most afternoons. But yeah, it's the best vacation I can imagine but you do need to make sure you take a day at home before heading back to work just to recover. Exhaustion doesn't even describe it.

I have not enjoyed the beers I've tried from them. Been a few years since I tried them though, maybe I should give them another run. They can change over time, for sure.

Both of those two particular beers I linked to are bottle-conditioned so they should actually get better with age.

Just remember Anthony Davis's face while you're drinking it, you'll never forget!

I only started drinking their beers recently. Their Milk Stout is pretty good, their double chocolate milk stout (tap only) is heavenly.
