What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (4 Viewers)

[Skylord]

FWIW I'm not a ginormous fan of of SNPA either.

Celebration and Bigfoot is where it's at for SN.

I really like the stout and porter, but to be honest its been a really long time since I had them.

 

[dotman]

Started by living the High Life, got rid of the 2 Genny Light's I had, now drinking Sam Adams Black Lager.

You know, it's a great beer, but isn't it pretty much a black and tan? Or is that implied by the name "black lager"? I am a big fan of lagers, Sam Adams Boston Lager being my favorite, and I'm also a big Yuengling fan if you couldn't tell.

What are some great Lagers I might have missed out on? I love trying new beers.

I think I got a bad bottle of beer. The Siletz Oatmeal cream stout just isn't matching up to the reviews of others that have had it.

Its friggin sour and not good. I just don't understand, thats got to be it.

That especially sucks when you can't just pick up another bottle to make sure that it wasn't a bad bottle.

Almost looks like quality has gone down hill. The bottom review is from 12/28/04 and the top is mine. The 3.75 is 5/3/05. Perhaps their brewing quality has slumped?

I would be interested to know if they changed equipment to keep up with a increasing demand.

Haven't had them for a while; planned on stopping at the brewery when my wife and I go for a coast visit in September (brewery tours for me, coastal sunset photo ops for her). Prefer their Chocolate Porter, but the Oatmeal Stout was good too. Guess I'll have to recheck it out.

Give them a kick in the nuts for me when you see them. I've also got the Wooly Bully, Chocolate Porter and Spruce ale so hopefully those don't suck too.

Will do. Liked the Spruce Ale, but it's a little bit different; kind of fruity. Actually had one at the Organic Brewfest from a small brewpub on the coast (Bill's Tavern in Cannon Beach); apparently the locals collect up the spruce buds and bring them to the tavern. It's only available for a few weeks in the spring, so I think I missed it until next year, but I'll probably check them out next trip out their way.

I like different and experimental beers. Spruce sounds pretty good to me.

Just for Gator, Firestone Pale Ale.

Reading BA reviews down?It was good. I can see why this would be a session beer in CA. Very easy to drink.

During Colonial times in America, spruce was mainly used for making beer due to the lack of malts available. If you guys are interested, this is a good book on beer history in America.

Sand Creek Wild Ride IPA

 

[Wingnut]

Cat got an ###?

Just wondering of you two SNPA fans have tried the IPA.

Yes I have. It was pretty good, but I think I like the SNPA better. Plus, its ALOT easier to find.

I just got approval for Monday off. Four day weekend. I need to pick up some session beers, as all I have in the fridge is the good stuff.

I think I have sent it to just about everyone around here. That's the way it seems anyways as I always go in there with only one empty and walk out with two growlers.

You are one of the few that wants to start it up. I got almost no feedback when I asked for it, so I figured I would at least let it sit until after the holiday.

Pretty sure it isn't me. FedEx usually drops off at about 11am my time.

Victory Whirlwind. Kind of a letdown after so many homeruns from Victory. Not bad though. Later tonight might be Weyerbacher Black Hole. Could be interesting.

It's a 2005 I believe, but I can't wait any more. The wife is now putting pressure on me to drink it (she loves barleywines too). I wanted to drink either the IPA vs Brut or Cantillon 2003 Framboise, but it appears that the time has come for the Blonde Behemoth.I know nothing about this beer, haven't read any reviews or discussed the beer with anyone I know. Going into it blind, ready for anything and everything. All I know is its ranking among the others barleywines.
