Rye'd da Lightning and Broodoo at 3F.

Also have some Surly Furious and Coffee Bender in the fridge.

Urbanhack mentioned Anti-Hero a little earlier. Big fan of that stuff.

 

[jamny]

got some Blue Point Winter Ale and will switch to Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale after dinner. Or maybe for dinner. Steak sandwiches?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Rock Stream Oktoberfest earlier today, not sure the exact name of this. Paulaner Marzen now. Bought some growlers today, may dip into those in a bit.

[CowboysFromHell]

Just dove into my first Old Chub.Ok, that came out wrong, but, damn, what a good beer. America finally got it right. SO easy to drink at 8%. If you're a scotch ale fan check it out.

Just tried the Old Chub tonight. my GF recommended it. NTTAWWT

 

[sdp1226]

$2 22oz Bud Lights

 

[5Rings]

Had a Double Jack in bottle the other night for the first time in a while. Kind of burnt out on FW, as it seems like they have an incessant marketing push around here, even though they are great.But my god, that is a great DIPA.

Was never a fan but boy do they have some good stuff now. Had a special nitrogen porter at the brewery that blew my mind.

Breckenridge Brewery Pride's Porter

Given to the medal winners at GABF. Brewed with 200lbs of dark chocolate from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

Whale's Tale Pale Ale from Cisco Brewing Company. Nice stuff.

 

[urbanhack]

Uinta Hop Notch

great beer

DAMN......LOVE THIS BEER.

That beer is very good. So good that they charge you for each sample when you visit their tiny brewery as opposed to the nearby Magic Hat where you can basically get drunk for free at their tasting area. Interesting thing about the Heady Topper can. It instructs you to drink it from the can for best taste as opposed to pouring it in a glass. I love drinking beer from glasses as I like to see the color, head, etc. But I took their advice and drank it from the can. Excellent stuff.

After what happened to the Alchemist last year, I don't mind paying a premium for the beer. I've never been to their new setup, but I'm still very glad that I got to go to the brewpub just a few weeks before Irene hit. All of the beers were phenomenal.

:cheers:On my third bomber of homebrew IPA.

Best brewpub I've ever been to. So sad it's gone. I hear Prohibition Pig is awesome though.

Founder's Harvest Ale...yum

Uinta Hop Notchgreat beer

really good brewery. Had the Wet N Wyld on tap yesterday. Really, really good session beer.Hopping Frog Hopped-Up Goose Juice Rye IPA bomber tonight. Pretty good.

 

[Northern Voice]

Coup de Grisou, Cheval Blanc Blanche & Blonde d'Achouffe.

In Montreal so I picked up this sampler. All good, the d'Achouffe packs a bit of a punch at 8%. All 3 are Witbier's, one traditional, one strong and one Buckwheat spice, would likely have been better as a summer sampler but still, good.

 

[Da Guru]

Went to see a local band laast night at a pub that only had micros on tap..my first two were very harsh..then I had a Full Circle. Really liked the smooth flavor for a night out. Had 6 pints.

[parasaurolophus]

Enjoying Sam Adams New World tonight. Can't believe this stuff is 10% ABV. Seems impossible.

 

[sdp1226]

Found some 32oz Coronas at my local bodega. Not a 12oz, 22oz or 40oz botttel - 32oz. Couldn't pass it up. Surprisingly it tasted exacly like the watered down Corona that I am used to.

'hack. See that you mentioned Revolution a couple of days ago. Have you been out to their place on Milwaukee?Stopped in before a show at the Congress and had a couple of beers. They have themselves a really nice place there. Great atmosphere, the upstairs is pretty kick ###. Haven't tried the grub, but the menu as well as the food that passed by looked good.

Yes...great place! Been there at least 30 times. Food is great and of course their beer is delicious....they also have a full bar.

How you ranking the local breweries then?Citywise, I've been to Rock Botton, Revolution and Goose. Still need to get to Haymarket. Suburbs I've hit Solemn Oath and Two Bros. Haven't been to the new Two Bros that moved into the old Roundhouse, though. Only the old Warehouse location. Should be hitting that in the next week or two.

Revolution and Half Acre are at the top for me.Goose / Haymarket / Two Brothers / Rock Bottom all make up the next tier. Went to Solemn Oath this summer and thought their beers were solid. Would like to try more.

Half Acre - that's the one I couldn't remember. Someone brought a growler of something from them to a poker game I was at recently. Really good beer, but even looking at their site, I can't remember the name of it.

Anyone with a recommendation for a brewpub/brewery in Connecticut? Preferably on the coast? Looking for a spot to go with gf over NYE and we primarily care about great beer and great coffee.

No idea about the coast, but I enjoyed Willimantic outside of Hartford. Link

Yeah, this one has come up in my google search. Thanks for the recommendation. What is the town like? It sounds kind of cool, actually, but there is a lot of stuff about it having been a real crime-infested area, though now it has been cleaned up. Any impressions?

I didn't spend any time in town other than the few hours I was at Willimantic. Didn't get any impression of the town.
