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

Green Flash Brewing Co. - West Coast IPA

Picked up a six pack at bevmo on a whim. I am suprised that it is as good as it is. This is a really good IPA.

Never even heard of it. Gotta love undiscovered brews that surprise. Currently drinking Left Hand Impy stout from the potsie collection. So freaking smooth it's scary. Nice way to finish off a damned fine day - Father's Day party at daycare, which followed a company picnic, which followed 18 holes of golf at my favorite local course where I sunk a 105 yard wedge for an eagle on #5.

Nice, I have one of the Left Hand Imps in my fridge.

Really like this one - not immense in any one area, just really well-balanced and EXTREMELY tasty.

It is good. I think I gave it a 4.2BTW, I'm at #99. What's #100?

 

[Skylord]

I'm going with Deschutes Obsidian Stout. My palate is effed up so I'm not gonna waste #100 on something I can't rate properly.

If you are referring to the Oak Aged 10th Anniversary Imperial Stout I sent you they are retired, FYI. Enjoy it as they will become scarce.

Last night I bought a 6-pack of the Sam Adams Brewmaster Collection consisting of Black Lager, Hefeweizen and Brown Ale. I had both the Black Lager and the Brown Ale. Both were very good beers. Lot's of flavor, especially the Black Lager which I previously had not heard of.

I have heard mostly good things about the black lager. Unfortunately, I think the only way you can get it is in the sampler packs.

I just did. 3 of each batch of Beatification. Had to do it quick so it didn't sink in what I just paid for a freakin' 6-pack.Had to have it shipped to a buddy's house in IL, because IN won't allow beer shipments.

(And no, Nuke, it's not you. Sorry.)

I bought a sixer of the black in a local grocery store, but maybe that's regional. You know, Fort Wayne being such a hotbed of good beer . Very good schwarzbier. I think better (or at least truer to style) than Sprecher Black Bavarian.

Maybe that was last year. I don't tend to pay much attention to the Sam Adams section at the beer store to be honest. I might have to grab a 6 of this sometime.

I got a bottle of that in my Liquid Solutions order. Can't wait to try it. Might wait and try it head to head with the Town Hall Grand Cru though.

Why do they retire rankings?

 

[mr. furley]

don't hate! congratulate!

 

[The Gator]

Seriously, why?

 

[mr. furley]

i think to indicate that the beer is no longer being produced. they can still be reviewed, no?

 

[Tip Top]

Just got back from Town Hall. Another winner in their India Wheat Ale.

 

[Tip Top]

India Pelican Ale

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

Saranac Adirondack Lager.

Eh.

That would make sense. Since a lot of people seem to like to let them ferment they should keep the ratings up.

 

[mr. furley]

i'd say bring it up with the Alstrom's but they'd either ignore you or ban you.

Ban is more likely.

Not going to have it yet, but I just picked up a couple of bombers of Southampton Doublw White and a 6 pack of Victory St. Boisterous. Looking forward to both.

Never question Jason.

Hey, quick question. Is it impolite to take your own beer to a party you were invited to? I have a friend who is having a party and will likely have Corona and Bud Light.

I do it all the time. No one seems to mind.

I've asked them tons of questions in the past. Sometimes, like today and two weeks before/after for example, there's no way they'll get back to anyone. I've met them many times in person (worked a few fests) and they're both good guys. They run that site very strictly as they're trying to develop a brand/name/market image for essentially being one of the leading voices of the craft beer movement, and tolerate even less BS than Joe does for that reason.
