What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (5 Viewers)

Should you ever need some more, I'd be happy to work another trade.

You can't get it up there, furley? I'd be happy to work a trade one day as well......not to steal an opportunity away from Winston though.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am surprised you can't get it furley. I can get it in MN.

:hot: i'm discovering that, as much as a drinking town GB is.. and make no mistake about it you can't throw a rock without hitting a bar here... it's not really very big on anything that's not a macro.

there are a couple stores in town that carry micro's. but only a couple and their selection is very limited.

for example, Skylord sent me a ####### and a ###### ##### and a #### ### and some other ####. i can't get any of that here.

Skylord sent a Stone RIS, an Arrogant *******, a North Coast Old Rasputin, an Alesmith Grand Cru and a ############
 
Thanks to Tip Top, I'm currently drinking a Three Floyds Alpha King.  Very good pale ale.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I've got one of those in transit as we speak. Looking forward to trying it.

It starts like a good east coast IPA, like DFH or Titan (I know, Great Divide is not on the east coast), but the hoppiness is a little more subdued. It does have that same malty sweet smell and palate with enough hops to make it very smooth. This would be an excellent session beer. Good stuff.
 
Having a Grants Hopzilla

Did you know that Grants has gone out of business? Did not know that until recently. This will probably be the last Grants I drink. Well, not THE last...I picked up quite a few of these knowing I'll never see it again.

But Hopzilla will be the last Grants beer I drink.

 
North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. Its been awhile...but I've been on an Imperial stout kick recently so I thought I'd revisit this and see how it stacks up.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Well, how did it stack up?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It still needs to warm up, but I'm sipping at it. Its not really in the same league as the Alesmith and not as complex as the Expedition. Not as refined as Stone. I'll put it top 5 but barely.1) Speedway

2) Expedition

3) Stone RIS

4) Stormking

5) Old Rasputin

Sadly the Dark Lord isn't on the list. :cry: One day...

:pickle: Ive got Speedway and RIS on the way from Skylord, and a 6er of Expedition on the way from Michigan next weekend. :thumbup:

Skylord, as soon as I get the beers from my Michigan connection, your package will be on its way with lots of JP. Did you want any DFH to make the trip as well?

Absolutely. Sounds like its going to be a while before DFH begins shipping to the westside again. I think you know which ones I've had, but if not I can fire you off a pm with that info.I seriously can not wait for the JP. Now that I think back, Sam had some at the Stuffed Sandwich, but sadly I thought it was a pumpkin flavored beer so I declined :bag:

PM me what youve had, and if there are any youve had youd like a few more of (I dont think anyone can ever get enough 90 minute). Found out recently that none of the last batch of 120 minute made it to Florida :angry: I can always get 60, 90, Indian Brown, Raison Detre, Chicory, Aprihop, and Shelter...I may still be able to get some Midas, Pangaea....ah, hell, I dont know....Ill have to make a trip to see whats around next weekend...

FYI Archer Liquors got some of the 120. I've had 60, 90, 120, chicory, raison, raison 23, fort, worldwide and I think thats it. I'm up for trying anything and everything else. Immort Ale would be the number one DFH I am looking to try if you can find it.

 
Its been 1.5 years but its time to get back in the saddle.

This weekend I clean all my equipment and buy my ingredients.

The following weekend I brew.

I've decided that nows the time to get a good Xmas beer going....a nice Belgian dark ale flavored with chocolate mint. Thats not chocolate and mint, but chocolate mint. Plenty of time to ferment then age to round at that nice high alcohol content.

Now that I've put it in writing I'm forced to actually do it.

Hey Skylord, I was over at BA reading the forums and noticed someone say they cant get Harpoon IPA in So Cal....Is this true?!?!?

I've seen it but its been a while. I haven't seen it recently.I'll check with the distributors to see what they have to say.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just wonderin....I thought I had a beer not available in Cali for a second there. Its pretty good, not GREAT, but better than, say, Flying Dog or Mendocino IPA.

I'm in Georgia. Only a few Southern breweries worth trading, but I have very good access to Belgians thanks to a couple of good stores in Atlanta & Athens.
 
My first beer trade is underway, thanks to Skylord. Our packages went out yesterday and are due to arrive on Friday. I sent some Terrapin Wake & Bake, Rye Squared, Tuppers' Hop Pocket Ale, & a liter of Sweetwater Festive Ale in exchange for some Arrogant *******, Alesmith IPA, Hopsickle, & Stone IPA. I've never had any of those before.

:excited: :banned:

If anybody else is interested in these beers, just let me know. Like I said, there aren't many Southern breweries.

I just had the Hopsickle I got in a trade from Skylord last night. Wow, that was a delicious hop bomb.

True dat :thumbup: Actually, this will be my biggest trade yet....I think my BIF package and one trade I did with Max were my biggest before this one.

 
What a great lunch.  I went to Town Hall to get a couple growlers for trades with Wingnut and Fro, and while there had lunch with a Masala Mama Cask IPA.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Jeez, Louise....look at the ratings for all the beers at that brewery...out of 88 active beers, I think only 16 have a rating under 4. I dont know whioch is more unbelievable - the fact that they have that many active beers, or the fact that so many are rated so high.

:shock:

If they stepped up and bottled, they wouldn't know what to do with all the money they would be making. I have only had one beer there ever that I didn't enjoy.
