What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (2 Viewers)

Only one tonight (miserable 6:30 drive to a meeting tomorrow...) but I made it a good one - Heavyweight Lunacy. 7.7% Belgian blonde spiced with coriander. Gonna miss this brewery, big time.
Oh, and be a man! I leave my home at 5:30 every morning.
I'm a night person. No way in hell that would fly here. My ideal working hours are 10-6, asleep by 2 AM... maybe. It's all I can do to be at work by 9 on most days.

I leave my home at 8:45am every morning :yawn:
I leave home whenever. :D Sometimes not at all. Been a slow week so far, so I left about 10am both days. I'll leave early tomorrow...about 8:30. Thursday, I'm having a new washer delivered so I'll probably work from home. :thumbup: Of course I just got home...only cuz I screwed up on synching some huge disk volumes and had to start over. :wall:

Goose Island Pere Jacques.
I'll see your Pere Jacques (I have two 6-packs in the basement), and I will raise you a Goose Island Imperial IPA (which I am currently working on after the DFH 90).
God I love the Goose Island Imperial IPA. I've resisted the temptation of Archer Liquors thus far, but I don't know how long I can hold out. Currently drinking a New Belgium Skinny Dip. It is about as good as I expected from that brewery. It sort of sucks .....

.... but is excellent in comparison to Moto Brew. Sucker.

Ummm...Pere Jacques comes in 4 packs.
I liked Pere Jacques, but to me, the only North American breweries that do really good Belgian styles are the ones that do Belgians only. Allagash, Ommegang, Unibroue.

I'd like to try more Allagash. Need to get another Four so that I can rate it, but I think if I make the journey to Bevmo I can get it there. I'd REALLY like to try their high end beers (Curiuex, Interlude, Odessey)

Oh yeah. Sorry, you are correct and I am drunk. I've bought so much ####ing beer lately that I can't keep it straight. You #######s in BIF and BOTMC club have me spending far too much damn time messing with this and I think my wife just left me for good. I'll have to check after I finish my beer. Thanks for the correction though, as I know I have SOME of that stuff downstairs.Fair enough? Or will I have to start insulting Furley again?

ETA: Isn't it sad that I had to edit my swear words? :bag:

This is true. Good stuff from Ommegang. Not tried the other two. Might have to try some from Sam's soon. Damn you for putting even MORE beer on my shopping list. /Charleton Heston/

DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!!

Brooklyn East India Pale Ale....it didn't have a chance. :yes:
This sounds yummy. Otis sent some Brooklyn beers for BOTMC recently. The Chololate Stout was far too much for me, but a very good beer. The other beer in that selection was great though. Damned if I can remember what the heck it was.RIP Otis.

Seriously. You are all drunks and I hope you're proud of yourselves.
 
Forgot to mention, one of the monday night poker guys drank a Big City Ice last night. Even he, who had Coors Light at his wedding, had a hard time choking it down.

 
Franziskaner Hefe. Bought a 6er cause Im really hopped-out lately, and the only other stuff I have right now besides IPAs and Barleywine are stouts.

Nice of you to join us. :thumbup:

This is good stuff. I make sure to buy a 12'er at Costco whenever I run out. I like to keep that beer on stock just in case I need a change of pace. Reminds me on my days growing up in the Fatherland. :sigh:ETA: Looking over at the shelving unit, I also see a 12 of Amstel Light that I think I got for a party last fall. Wonder if that's any good still?

Apparently I'm collecting barleywines at this point. I must have around a dozen that I need to drink.

I just started grabbing barleywines to sit on for a while and let them age a bit. Maybe they will last.

Oddly enough I bought a sixer of this over the weekend as well as everybody else it seems. Figured with the warm weather right around the corner a nice wheat is always nice.

Please edumacate me on barleywines. I have not tried them. I like barley (beer). I like wine (have 120+ bottles downstairs and 3/4 of them are top notch bottles like Silver Oak, so I like the good stuff). What is this you speak of?

Barleywines arent like wine at all. Theyre beer made to wine-like strength (ABV wise).http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/19

From the link (American Barleywine)

Despite its name, a Barleywine is very much a beer, albeit a very strong and often intense beer! In fact, it's one of the strongest of the beer styles. Lively and fruity, sometimes sweet, sometimes bittersweet, but always alcoholic. A brew of this strength and complexity can be a challenge to the palate. Expect anything from an amber to dark brown colored beer, with aromas ranging from intense fruits to intense hops. Body is typically thick, alcohol will definitely be perceived, and flavors can range from dominant fruits to palate smacking, resiny hops.

English varieties are quite different from the American efforts, what sets them apart is usually the American versions are insanely hopped to make for a more bitter and hop flavored brew, typically using American high alpha oil hops. English version tend to be more rounded and balanced between malt and hops, with a slightly lower alcohol content, though this is not always the case.

Most Barleywines can be cellared for years and typically age like wine.

Not for the faint of heart
 
Alright, I hope you guys are happy (hoppy?). I signed up at BA finally. I wasn't going to since Furley was the one making the push. But I did it. I'll let you sharp fellers figure out my screen name there.
