My latest trip to the beer distributor I got
Straub American Lager
Yuengling Golden Pilsner
I was in a PA beer mood. The Straub American Lager really surprised me. It is a very crisp clean and refreshing lager, definitely not heavy. It had a very subtle hop finish that I really liked as well. A college friend of mine is a sales rep for them and introduced them to me and I was very impressed and would buy it again.

If you like Gose style beers, and like tequila and margaritas, try Founders Mas Agave.
I got some of this on draft at a local craft place, and fell in love - I've been cleaning out the local stores stocking up - it's seasonal, and I think they're done for this year, but you can still find some in stores. You'll either love it or hate it honestly, depending on your taste. It's 10% ABV, so for me, it's pretty much a weekend-only beer, but f-ing fantastic.

It was really good. Had an old Dark Lord type of taste to it and somehow there was some coffee aroma even after 5 years.
How was it? I've never had one more then 3 years old.
ETA: it's a.decent beer, I'm not a huge fan of CCB stouts though.
Pseudo and Pompeii are my staples now. So tired of 15 to 20 dollar IPA 4 packs and TG usually crushes it.

My grocery store now sells Houblon Chouffe in 4 packs. Unbelievable. One of my favorite beers ever. I’m drinking one tonight.

This weekend I found at the grocery store:
New Belgium Nitro Cold Brew Cream Ale crafted with High Brew coffee &
Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. Kentucky Vanilla Barrell Cream Ale
I am loving the fact that I am finding a lot of different cream ale varieties. Very cool.

Just opened a crowler of Founders’ Canadian Breakfast Stout. Have a crowler of Oskar Blues’ Ten Fidy for later. Should be a good Christmas.

I liked it quite a bit. Had the Zamunda Forever too which was a very honey tasting mead, but quite good as well.
ETA: I’ve still got a bottle of the Oak Meadowfoam and Red Skies at Night left plus 2 bottles of some stuff I got in Hawaii a while back.

I got one of these 67 ounce growlers for Christmas and I'm looking up all the local breweries by me.
I assume most of them will fill a 67 ounce growler, right?
I didn't realize growlers were that big.

Most will fill without issue, but some have varieties on tap which are small batch and not available for growler fill.
I got a "no". The lady bartender said they have had "bad experiences" so they stopped.
I ended just buying a growler (32 ounce sealed can) for 8 bucks plus tax. Gonna look for a different brewery that can fill a 67 ounce growler on Tuesday.

As ditka said, very coffee forward. It's lacking in the bourbon department though IMO.
Nice share tonight. I brought the 18 Marshmallow Handjee. We also had 19 Rye Barrel Dark Lord, 18 Hung, Drawn, and Quartered (basically 18 rye barrel aged dark lord), BA No Cake, 19 Assassin, others. All awesome.
Was an incredible beer year for me. 13 Prop, 14 Prop, Vanilla Rye, multiple Assassins, KBBS, many Dark Lord variants, plenty of Bottle Logic and Angry Chair stouts, and more than I can remember. I think I've hit peak beer.
Drinking an 18 Deth by Currants but time to dial it back in the new year.
Happy New Year, FBGs.

I haven't either. I hear it's more like a brandy than a beer and that it ages very well. I bought some of their triple bock back in the early 90's when it came out. I thought it was pretty cool that some of that same beer is part of the blend in Utopias. It's almost 30 years old at this point.

6 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Beer
Canned beer made its first appearance on the shelves of American stores on this day in 1935, when the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company put 2,000 cans of Krueger’s Finest Beer and Krueger’s Cream Ale up for sale in Richmond, Virginia. Here are 6 things you probably didn't know about beer...
The First Recorded Beer Recipe is 3900 Years Old.Beer has been around for a very, very long time. The oldest surviving barley based beer recipe comes from Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq). A Sumerian poem honouring Ninkasi, the goddess of beer, describes a fermented beverage made from bread, honey fruit and botanicals. Some modern American breweries have tried their hand at replicating the mysterious brew to considerable success. By all accounts, it's delicious, and what other chance does one have to literally sample history.
Pyramid Builders Were Paid in Beer.Yep, that's right. Beer was both sustenance and salary for the workers of ancient Egypt. Each worker was paid 1 gallon (3.7L) of beer a day, which sounds like a lot considering there was work to be done. But, the beer of the time was about 3 per cent alcohol with plenty of vitamins and minerals to keep the workers going.
There's a Patron Saint of Beer.For a long time, people didn’t know that the bubonic plague was caused by a bacteria that lived in rodents, mainly rats, and the fleas that feed on them. They also didn’t know that boiling water killed that bacteria. Beer brewers, meanwhile, had been boiling their water as part of the brewing process.A monk named Arnold noticed the connection between beer and not getting the plague and ended up convincing people to drink beer instead of water, saving a lot of lives. So, he was made Saint Arnold, patron Saint of beer
The Earliest Brewers Were WomenThe discovery of the brewing process of beer has been traced back to the 6000 BC in Babylonia. Surprisingly all the brewers back then are known to have been women! Brewing beer was considered a noble task for women. Only women from elite backgrounds had the privilege to brew beer. Brewster is the term used for a women who brews beer. To top all the curiosity, there was a written law that prohibited men from selling or making beer! Talk about equality?
China Drinks A Lot of Beer.Data from a 2012 Kirin Beer University Report shows that the thirstiest country in the world, per capita, is… Czech Republic. The Czechs consume an average of 148.6 liters per year each, or about 418 12oz bottles per person. Not a bad session. The country that consumes the greatest volume of beer overall, is China. 44,201 KILOliters per year. That’s 44,201,000 liters, or just under 1.5 BILLION bottles of beer.
The World’s Most Expensive Beer Auctioned for $2,583The most expensive beer ever sold at auction was a bottle of Cantillon Loerik, a gueuze that was only brewed once, in 1998, and is therefore extremely rare. It sold in April 2014 for $2,583.
