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

[TLEF316]

drank corona tonight in honor of cinco de mayo.

Yes im aware its girly fruit beer, but it was the drink of choice for this evening. I had 5 of them.

 

[Skylord]

Coors Light

You had such promise too.

 

[Skylord]

I'm having an Angel City Dunkel. Great reviews on BA so I thought I'd give it another run for the sake of the BIF.

I don't know what those guys are reviewing, this beer should be in the 2's, not the high 3's.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I got home from work late, threw a pair of jeans on, left to a friend's cinco de mayo party. Drank the corona, coors light was all that was left. I feel dirty. Hold me.Edit: I realize that corona sucks ### too

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

We've all been there. These are tough times but you'll get thru it.And if there is one day out of the year that you get a free pass for drinking Corona, todays the day. Tomorrow you should pour the beer out and use the bottles for those salt and pepper shakers.

 

[heckmanm]

Yes.  It would be very disturbing to come home and find your wife in bed with Pierre Celis.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually if that were to happen, I would patiently wait until they were done so I could talk shop with Pierre.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't often actually laugh out loud while reading message boards, but this one did it.

 

[Tip Top]

You guys really need to detail what you're trading.  I'd like to know who is getting what for what.  That way I have a better idea of what I can send for future beer trades.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am sending Fro today:1 growler Masala Mama

1 750ml Double Sawtooth (Chainsaw)

2 New Glarus Hop Hearty

2 Three Floyds Alpha King

2 Summit IPA

2 Tyranena Bitter Woman

2 Bell's Expedition Stout

Skylord, package arrived safe and sound

The Jolly Pumpkins should be arriving around 6pm tonight (rendezvous point established, just need to wait for phone call).



<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Awesome. They've got to be one of the most under rated breweries out there. Very much looking forward to trying the rest of their beers, especially this one.A rich brown ale inspired by the enigmatic monastic brews of Belgium, and the mysterious mist shrouded jungles of the tropics. Brewed with real cacao, and spiced with cinnamon and sweet orange peel for a sensual delight. A brew to be sipped, savored, and enjoyed!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Jolly Pumpkins have landed...now to decide what gets sent and what stays here with me...decisions, decisions....package will be en route Monday. (Tip top and Fro, yours will be sent Monday as well....I gto ALOT of packing to to tomorrow)

I hear you with the packing. I did a few too many trades all at once. I have tons of beer around the house and ended up creating a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

One guy I traded with on BA, I met up with in person as he was passing through the area for a beer exchange. We chatted for a few minutes about beer and BA, and he talked about the fact that he had over 150 beers at his house that he hadn't got around to sampling yet. The funny part about our exchange is that he was on his way through on his day off just to check out a couple of stores in the Sacramento area that he heard about. Dude drove 1.5 hours from the Bay Area to find some new beers to sample.About then is when I asked him how he kept track of it all. He reached into his car and grabbed a neat stack of papers. It was a spreadsheet. He had categorized every beer he sampled (organized by style and rating), plus every beer he had in his posession that he hadn't got a chance to try yet. He told me that he kept it with him most of the time just in case he happened to be somewhere and found an unknown beer, he would know if he had tried it or if he already had it at home.

I just shook my head in awe.

I am not nearly to that point, but I do have I do have exactly 50 different beers in my house right now.

I have 25 different beers, but no more than 3 of any one.

I'm working on catching up. Don't think I'll make it though. Question for no one in particular. I've always heard that if beer is refrigerated, it's best to keep them there until you drink them. You think there'd be much damage to a beer if it's bought chilled, then brought home and stored in a pantry? The temperature difference would probably be about 25 degrees. The pantry stays dark and is somewhere between 65 and 70. One store I buy from chills everything, so I only buy what I plan to drink within a week (already have most of the top shelf of the fridge stocked).

 

[Tip Top]

Tip Top, I just got the Growler of Masala Mama delivered to my door.

BIG thanks!! Im sending 3 packages out this weekend, yours being one of them (Fro and Skylord's too)

Ill pm tracking numbers to you guys when they hit the road.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just a friendly reminder. Beer in growlers doesn't keep terribly long, so don't wait too long to drink it.

Urban legend. The beer will be fine.

 

[FatMax]

I'm kicking myself because I can't remember the name of it right now, but the local Bevmo stock a Beligian that is about $30 for a 750ml bottle.  I can see the bottle in my head, but can't remember what it is.  Trout probably knows.

One of these days I should just break down and buy it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Deus can get pricey. That might be it
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I checked today. That's it. Still didn't buy it though.

And it's a good thing too, as I have had to buy many beers cold for trades.

Its pretty good but not as good as many of the 750ml's that you could get for 1/3 of the price.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Lionshead. Very good for $11 a case. (That's not a typo).

The drawback is that it's only sold in Eastern PA. Can't get it where I live in NJ, have to pick it up when I visit Philly.

 

[mr. furley]

Speaking of New Glarus, I'm having a beer the Furley sent me in our last trade....the Unplugged Cherry Stout.  WOW!  If you don't like fruit beers, stay away.  But if you do...

This beer is wild.  So much cherry flavor! Wife keeps stealing sips and its pissing me off  ....apparently she's a fan too. 

New Glarus

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

limited production on that one. i bet Tip Top can get it.. but if you want more, let me know. it's available around here right now.

I still have a couple sitting at the house

 

[Tip Top]

Can't wait to get home from work and have a couple. Too nice out to be working. I think I might have to drink some of my recently neglected keg of Hopdevil.

 

[Skylord]

Just got back from having a late lunch at Fathers Office in Santa Monica. Had a glass of the ungodly good Craftsman Triple White Sage. Also had a Craftsman Orange Grove Ale (not yet reviewed in BA). Very good for an orange beer. Craftsman really needs to get the bottling line going.

Then finished off the set with a New Belgium Eric's beer (peach lambic). Not bad, really tart...not bad.

 

[regularguy]

On Monday I sent RegularGuy...

Alesmith IPA 22oz

Stone Arrogant ******* 22oz

Moylans Hopsickle 22oz

Stone IPA 12oz

Is that it?  I feel like there was another 22oz...Maybe a Ruination

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yep, add the Ruination to the list. Just started drinking the ******* a little bit ago. I at the writing on the back of the bottle. Excellent beer as I expected based on its reputation. It may be "hated by many and loved by few", but you can add another one to the "few". But, honestly, I can only imagine what I'd have thought of this beer a couple of years ago. Thank goodness for this thread.

[guest 54788]

Thanks to FatMax I found Buster's Liquors here in Memphis. I made it by there today and I'm glad I did. I picked up:

750ml Duvel

750ml La Fin Du Monde

4pk of Ayinger Celebrator

just finished off the Celebrator watching Walk The Line and about to go with the Duvel along with some Cash playing.

I love all of those beers. Duvel might be my favorite beer as of today. I've been on a bit of a kick lately. La Fin is a very nice beer too.

Edited to add: Celebrator is one of the best beers on the planet. Had to give it a shoutout. You did well, Fuller.

man I'm gonna be hitting that place once a week for awhile. There were so many more I wanted to buy but thought it better to get just a few at a time.Dumb question - I drank the Celebrator first and I have a nice little buzz and I'm not getting a good taste for the Duvel so I wanted to save a little for tomorrow. Is it fine to keep the bottle in the fridge open or what should I do since there's no chance of hell of getting the cork back in it?

that's what I was afraid of (also the reason I stopped with what I bought). I'll end up drinking everything tonight and not remember what the Duvel or Du Monde tasted like. Guess I may have to buy more next week.

what kind of beer is la fin du monde?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's a Belgian styled ale brewed by Unibroue (sp?) in Canada. Very good. They are one of three, IMO, North American breweries that do justice to real Belgian beers. Allagash and Ommegang are the others.
