What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (3 Viewers)

Went to a Beer tasting the other day  :thumbup:
I don't know if it is good or bad that, despite the blurry photo, I can immediately recognize five of those beers.
Ommegang Abbey, Hennepin, Three Philosphers, and Witte.Allagash Triple and Grand Cru.

The third from the right is a Lost Coast Great White Beer (I think).

The first one on the right might be a Pranqster.

The only ones I don't know are the fourth and fifth ones from the left, but I am guessing they are belgian style.
They are Anderson Valley Brother David double and triple
Almost picked these up over the weekend. Would you recommend them?
Certainly. I like the double more than the triple (but I really not fond of triples)
You failed to mention how ####ing hard it is to remove the ####ing wax off the top of those things. After that neverending battle, a bud light would have tasted good.

Those are tough. The Sweetwater Festive Ale was the hardest I've ever had. Who's friggin idea was it to put wax all over a swing top?

Besides chatting with friends, the only thing that got me through the Sox douching tonight: Cadillac Mountain Stout. It was pretty tasty but a disappointment after reading that it was the top competitor to the Allagash brews here in Maine.

I sampled some Allagash last week and tried this tonight. All these beers taste very rich, but almost too rich. I'm just wondering if I should be starting lower on the food chain so to speak. I'm only 21 so if I come off as not appreciating these complex beers, that's why. I guess drinking real beer has come as sort of a shock after drinking watery domestics for so long.

I'm hoping to hit up the D.L. Geary's and Casco Bay breweries this week.

pretty sure that there are a handful of guys here that would trade for the Cadillac Mountain Stout. :thumbup:
 
he knows better :hot:

at least he better. he said "we picked up two, one for us and one for you."

so i'm hoping they split a 750 and not a can :hot:

<!--QuoteBegin-wilked+Jun 24 2005, 11:40 PMJust bought the vertical epic 'blindly'

Didn't realize it ages for 10 yrs...

No way can I commit to that.  Gave it to an older aficionado at work

http://www.stonebrew.com/epic/
I've got a case of 22's for every year thus far released. Really not sure where I am going to find the space to keep it all....but I'll take my chances.
:o

How much do you think I'll be able to sell a bomber of 02.02.02 - 12.12.12?

(1) Can't commit to aging a beer? You young whippersnappers and your me-me-me mentality.

(2) You can keep it at my house..... :whistle:

How would I go about getting a case of this years release?

Your distributor should be able to help you out. Probably won't make it to your neck of the woods for a couple of day.
I'm easy. How about one bottle of each?
You never ever know what could end up in a BIF box :unsure:
I hope you are 2nd to last to receive :crossesfingers:
XJesus, when will you people remember the order here?!?

It goes:

xxx-xxx-xxx-NG-culdeus-Wingnut

C'mon. Do not make me tell you again.

http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/746284Escondido, San Diego County, CA --- On a day that is never the same, but always consistent, Stone Brewing Co. releases a beer that is never the same, but always consistent. Fans of the innovative brewery know that when the day, month, and year are all the same on the calendar something special is about to happen. This year Stone will release the fifth in a series of eleven different beers on June 6th: the Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale.

Stone Brewing first released the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series on February 2nd, 2002 and has done so consecutively, for five years now, one year, one month, and one day after the last edition. This year's version happens to come out on June 6th, 2006, next year's edition will be released July 7th, 2007, followed by August 8th, 2008, all the way to December 12th, 2012.

Stone’s “Epic” saga isn’t even half way over, but is already taking the beer community by storm. A beer that started as an original, quirky concept has morphed into an enigmatic quest for beer enthusiasts everywhere. The early years of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale are actually so revered by beer geeks worldwide that single bottles are commanding prices of $400 or more per bottle, and according to the Wall Street Journal, the Stone 02.02.02 Vertical Epic Ale is one of the rarest craft beers in America. :eek:

The grand premise of the series is that each edition is to be brewed in a different style from the previous year, and since the beers are bottle conditioned (naturally carbonated in the bottle) they will mature when cellared, providing the beer enthusiast with a Stone Vertical Epic Ale tasting to look forward to sometime after 12.12.12 when the last edition is released. To aid these beer enthusiasts, Stone Brewing lists the areas of the country that are slated to get an allocation of the Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale. For some of the 19 states, that are getting it, the company's website goes even further to provide a list of retailers.

As with previous editions of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series, Stone is again posting a detailed homebrewing recipe complete with hints, anecdotes and words of wisdom courtesy of Head Brewer, Mitch Steele and Lead Brewer, John Egan. Additionally, Stone is challenging homebrewers to brew their favorite Stone Vertical Epic Ale and submit it to the brewery for a competitive judging. The recipes and competition guidelines can be found here.

Stone Brewing Co. is located in Escondido, CA and is one of the fastest growing breweries in the country. Additionally, Stone Brewing is one of the highest rated breweries in the world according to both RateBeer.com and BeerAdvocate.com. Stone Brewing is open for tours and tastings Monday-Friday from Noon-6pm and on Saturdays from11am-5pm. For more info go to http://www.stonebrew.com or call the brewery at 760.471.4999, x1500

Can I get a HELL YEAH
 
After hell week (on call) I'm back! Started off with a Legend Golden Ale. meh. Following up with a Speakeasy Big Daddy. meh. But, soon to follow is a Big Bear Black Stout and an Arrogant *******. Not sure what else. :banned:

 
Starting big tonight - Allagash Tripel Reserve. I hadn't sampled it before, and now after drinking a bit of it, I wish I would have made it a regular. Very good beer.
