10-4
& a Stone Smoked Porter, same TBD

4/28/2010 1:11:28 AM

went to my favorite brewpub tonight for dinner

their cask smoked porter was a bit disappointing

4/29/2010 10:02:05 PM

you know, this was a lot more tame than i thought. I didn't read too many reviews about it before i picked it up, but based on the bottle, DFH website, and the description i was expecting something a little more exotic. But really...it's a decent beer, kind of a spin on a belgian. not worth the 14 dollar DFH bomber price that accompanies it.

4/29/2010 10:07:43 PM

^I wondered what that was like, I just never tried it.

4/30/2010 10:08:23 AM

^^^I see you're liking the Troegs stuff

^^I haven't been a fan of the DFH historic beers, Theobroma was the best/most interesting but none of them are worth dropping $13 on IMO.

I've got some good stuff queued up for the weekend: Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale, Lagunitas WTF, Sweetwater Road Trip, Harpoon Single Hop ESB, Mother Earth Triple Over Head, etc.

4/30/2010 1:22:07 PM

why yes, yes i am.

the pils is a bit boring though.

however, a troegs bottle last week nearly too my hand off

well not realy

was opening the bottle using one of those long handle bottle openers, the entire top lip came off the bottle, and a finger got impaled on the top of the neck

two pretty righteous cuts, tons of blood,

this is one of the cuts 6 days later



ahah

4/30/2010 1:28:53 PM

Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale

let me know how that is. I was going to pick some up last weekend, but i have been on a Lagunitas kick lately with Hairy Eyeball, WTF, and Little Somethin' Extra so i went in another direction.

holy fuck, that's crazy...never had that happen before. Also, your injury looks like a smiley face.

^I liked it, but honestly the hoppy Lagunitas beers all kind of run together...it tasted like a more attenuated (and thus less sweet) version of Brown Shugga.

4/30/2010 1:40:05 PM

Oskar Blues Gordon, Old Hickory Hefe (like the local stuff). Went to Liberty to have a Deep River Wheat...Out...IPA out...unacceptable. Their Debean Expresso Stout was excellent.

5/2/2010 8:19:16 PM

jumped on some more mainstream crafts over the weekend. Just wanted some good session beers that i could drink multiples of while i was around the house.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis is probably my new favorite hefeweizen at the moment. as i told ^, it's like nectar going down.

and New Belgium Ranger IPA. New Belgium, like SN seems to get a lot of flack or looked over completely because they are on the large end of the craft scene, but damn if they didn't make a consistently smooth, pleasently hoppy IPA. yeah it's not a big DIPA everyone raves about, but I can drink 6 of these and not kill my pallate which is what i wanted.

5/4/2010 10:33:31 AM

as always an excellent offering from Founders

5/4/2010 10:53:51 PM

Sweetwater Blue and Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss tonight

5/4/2010 11:41:53 PM

Celebrating the Fowler dismissal and the CJ Leslie signing with a bottle of Goose Island Night Stalker:


An appropriately amazing beer, given the occasion.

Breweries vie to create world's strongest beer
http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-coldbeer-20100506,0,6908818.story

Beer with 41% ABV.

Sampled through some Duck Rabbit stuff today for ideas on a local line at work.

As I am not a huge fan of Duck Rabbit normally, I was surprised by the Porter in particular and the Brown Ale... As a result, we put the Brown Ale on tap (just better for the season)

The Duck Rabbit Porter is my favorite porter in a longggggg time (coming from a hopfan fyi)

5/12/2010 11:53:42 PM

currently out west enjoying lots of Deschutes, Odell, and some random unknown locals

spending one night in Salt Lake City before heading back Friday, will include some refreshing 4% drafts at the brewpub

5/13/2010 12:01:36 AM

been enjoying some lost coast great white and two hearted

[Edited on May 13, 2010 at 12:04 AM. Reason : ]

5/13/2010 12:03:56 AM

5/13/2010 12:05:53 AM

Now onto this:

5/13/2010 12:58:18 AM

picked some of this up last night at sams quikmart

5/16/2010 12:58:11 PM

mmmmmmmm fresh hops.

5/17/2010 10:17:05 PM

just cracked a Bedlam from Ale Asylum - really good, comparable to a slightly toned-down raging bitch

5/17/2010 10:20:35 PM

DRANKIN SAM ADAM's SUMMER ALE.....YUM!!!

Its pourin' out and i be strummin' on my guitar and drankin' that ale

5/17/2010 10:20:36 PM

i can't decide if i like this or not.

New Belgium's Summer Seasonal "Skinny Dip"

5/18/2010 4:17:16 PM

Had a couple of these the other night with dinner...was quite delicious:

5/18/2010 4:21:08 PM

speaking of summer seasonals what are some good ones?

so far i've only tried the brooklyn summer ale. which was delish

i tried the magic hat vinyl lager (spring) and liked

the sweetwater spring beer just tasted like nothing - so it wasn't bad i just wasn't amazed.

gimme those delicious summer beers, please

5/18/2010 4:22:02 PM

I like this stuff, but it's kind of divisive

"Made with a generous amount of natural cherry juice, Hanami Ale is crisp and refreshing, a well-balanced, medium-bodied ale offering subtle, tart cherry flavor"

Bell's Oberon is pretty good.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis is a year round beer but it's wonderful for summertime.

Big Boss Blanco Diablo is another one i'm really enjoying this summer.

It depends on what you like. A lot of breweries lean more towards pilsners for their summer beers which are light and refreshing but don't have the huge taste explosion some people seem to expect out of every craft beer. And others lean more towards the weiss or wit styles for summer.

5/18/2010 4:36:08 PM

^^ ohhhh that sounds intriguing. i wanna try. and i like the box haha

^ i haven't tried the big boss summer. but i do <3 the angry angel pilsner. will have to try that. mmmm beer. i <3 beer. i need to find a good place to buy beer in gboro though

rogue chocolate stout. amazing.

5/18/2010 4:45:05 PM

I like Sierra Nevada Summerfest for a summer beer.

5/19/2010 6:52:22 PM

picked this up to go with burgers tonight

[Edited on May 19, 2010 at 7:10 PM. Reason : a]

5/19/2010 7:10:30 PM

Filled up a growler of Coast Belafonte Beligan Style Pale Ale. Should finish it pretty soon. Gonna take a small break and drink one of these with a late night dinner:



Really excited about this one. Was my favorite beer last year. Had it on tap at a bar I worked at.

5/19/2010 7:33:58 PM

Mothership Wit

5/19/2010 10:38:41 PM

i dont have any beer

5/19/2010 10:39:24 PM

i finally tried the Budweiser Golden Wheat tonight. not a fan.

perhaps on draft it would be a bit more tolerable.

New Belgium Skinny Dip currently

5/19/2010 10:39:34 PM

Canned Newcastle... cashier thought it was soda

helllllo pool beer

5/19/2010 11:12:32 PM

sometimes I take for granted being able to walk down the street to buy Stone beers, but tonight is not one of those times.

5/21/2010 12:40:11 AM

sam adam's summer ale ftw!

5/21/2010 2:12:03 AM

my beer cave is almost empty and i wont have time to make a trip to my beer store this weekend.

looks like it's HT/Trader Joes for the weekend pick up.

5/21/2010 8:07:45 AM

if anyone is ever in germany you need to go to heidelberg and get some vetter beer. it was once the worlds strongest at 33%. the other beer they have is pretty good too

5/21/2010 11:24:02 AM

pretty tasty, but definitely a step down from the Founders double dry-hopped Centennial IPA I was drinking on cask last night.

5/25/2010 8:52:50 PM

sooooooooooo good

5/25/2010 10:30:28 PM

drank my last good beer, now onto the bud light and i'm not drunk so i will notice the difference :'(

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

5/25/2010 10:55:59 PM

very tasty, but a little overboard on the bitterness even for a west coast IPA.

5/31/2010 7:42:22 PM

set em up
