Nosferatu

Nosferatu

can't beat Nosferatu.Woz can start all the threads he wants, but until he's drinking Nosferatu, there's always someone drinking a better beer.... I love Nosferatu season. Cold Front season is upon us too....Cold Front x10000000

 

[Steve Tasker]

Ithaca Gorges Smoked Porter...possibly the best of this variety that I've ever had.

HUGE fan of this (as evidenced by the case I bought last month at the brewery ). This year's batch is probably the best I've had.

 

[nysportsfan]

I feel like Bergen County, NJ is an awful spot for microbreweries. When I was in college in the Lehigh Valley, there were a plethora of places/brews to satiate my thirst

Bell's Expedition Stout, New Holland Dragon's Milk, and Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA

nice picks.Wish I could buy the Expo Stout here (or any Bells for that matter), and I've heard good stuff about that IPA.

Sam Adams Octoberfest... a real nice amber ale....and it tastes even better when "someone".... (Likely me), inadvertentlly dropped a few 10mg valium in the mix....

FWIW, it's a lager, not an ale. Not that it matters....enjoy!

Good stuff. After drinking a bunch of this during the NHL playoffs last year I have been drinking more and more IPA's. Never liked them. Now I can't get enough of them.

Haven't had the others but as it gets colder I will go more into the stouts.

Tonight going relatively light with a mix of Spaten Oktoberfestbier, Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier (not really anticipating greatness here), and Lakefront Brewery pumpkin lager.

Stout Sunday

Started with an Old Rasputin. Saranac Imperial on deck.

Starr Hill Festie

Starr Hill makes some good beers. That's not one of them. Not that it's bad, but they have better offereings. The Love (hefeweizen), The Gift (dopplebock), Northern Lights (IPA) are very good. They're doing a double IPA ripoff of Pliny which is really good.

High Peaks series?I came off pleasantly surprised/impressed with that one.

I agree but I'm not going to throw away part of the box set. Had the IPA while watching the Redskins this afternoon, it's one of my faves.

Yes. Best Saranac beer I've had.

 

[cstu]

Nothing right now, but the thread has me thinking about a St. Bernardus Witbier.

 

[Regular Crust Pizza]

Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Bock.

the Bock is out? how was it?we're still sitting on piles of the black barleywine

I thought it was above average.

Thread got me thinking of the Stone 10-10-10 Vertical Epic. Might pick one up tonight.

Agreed. The IIPA from the High Peaks series was surprisingly good as well; much better than the usual trash (sorry, it's true) that Saranac usually puts out.

Had Sly Fox Saison last night. Pretty decent. Almost a cream-style ale like a Boddington's but not that extreme. The wife and I both enjoyed it.

Have not had the Saison, but Sly Fox is a great brewery and the Route 113 IPA is awesome.

 

[Please See Mine]

Just picked up some Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA and Yuengling Black & Tan.

Big fan of IPA and Sierra Nevada but not my favorite. Stone, Big Sky, and Dog Fish Head still my favorite IPA.

Just had a Full Sail IPA last night. Meh. It's no Stone.

Have had my share of Full Sail IPA kind of like it. I do prefer Dog Fish.Tonight I'm going to an Ethiopian restaurant. Have no idea what they will have for beer selection but does anyone have any suggestions?

Update? Anything interesting? May be doing Ethiopian this week. Website doesn't indicate anything out of the ordinary, but maybe they will have something interesting.

Saturday night, I tried Short's Bellaire Brown and Soft Parade. Also, tried Darkhorse Raspberry Ale. All were pretty good.

For non beer, tried the Grand Traverse Distillery Wheat Vodka. All who tried this, liked it.

I made Judge Smails' Chili with this not too long ago and then chased Judge Smails' Chili with a bottle of this a few hours later. That was a good day.

Yeah, I bet. Not bad here, but looking at the ratings, it's got very high scores from the Euro crowd.

Just finished a New Glarus Fat Squirrel. Now on to a Steen Brugge(????), found it on sale, probably a good reason for it being on sale.
