Merry Christmas all,I almost completely missed the Stone Winter Storm. I blew a tire on my Crossfire just north of Camp Pendleton (in the middle of nowhere) and it took a tow truck 2 hours to get to me. I barely got a rental car in time before EVERYONE closed down for the Christmas holiday. In doing so, I missed going to Port and Alpine . My tire won't be fixed until atleast Tuesday, so I need to drive back down to San Diego tomorrow or the following day. On the bright side, I might be able to hit Port and Alpine then.Stone World Bistro is amazing, the interior and exterior grounds are gorgeous. Below are the beers I sampled on tap, most of which I reviewed.Stone 02.02.02Stone 03.03.03Stone 04.04.04Stone 3rd AnniversaryStone 4th AnniversaryStone 7th AnniversaryStone 8th AnniversaryStone Double Dry Hopped IPAStone Double Dry Hopped RuinationStone Double Dry Hopped LevitationStone Double Dry Hopped 10th AnniversaryStone 2004 Old GuardianStone 2003 Double BastardStone Sawyers TripleStone Smoked PorterStone Brandy Barrel-Aged Smoked PorterStone StonewallAlpine Captian StoutCraftsman Holiday BrewPort Good Grief Brown AleRussian River IPA

i think sam adams is a good transition brand for those who are skeptical about moving onto the better/bigger beers but for you, sierra nevada's offerings might be more appropriate. they literally brew pale ales, IPAs, stouts, etc.

 

[nase]

are brasserie de rocs bottles and trappistes rochefort bottles conditioned?

both of my beers have major floaties and the brasserie de rocs one is getting pretty nasty as it gets to the end here.

I do not much care for regular Sam Adams, but in the SA Holiday assortment they ahve at Costco, I like almost all of their other recipes quite a bit. I like Sierra Pale Ale most of the time, but sometimes I get real sick of it. Negro Modelo and New Belgian's 1554 are probably my favorite beers that I can readily find.

I used to love Bass, but it has to be fairly fresh and I have not found a reliable source. St Arnold's Lawnmower is one I like, but have only had a few times.

I usually get a case or two of German Oktober brews in the Fall. Some brands I like a lot more than others, but do not remember which.

 

[nase]

having a local brew which i plan on sending in BIF that actually stands up pretty well against the world-class belgians i just had (its not even a belgian) and its one of those brews which much of the population at large has never had.

 

[nase]

allagash tripel. havin' my bro try a couple diff. beers tonight. not sure how much he likes them but it was worth a try.

If I had a gun to my head and had to group beers quickly, I'd say they're grouped as follows: porters/stouts, pale ales, india pale ales (hoppier beers), strong ales (which are going to be 8-12% ABV and may include beers such as barley wines), and belgians (which have a different twist from the others), and lagers/hefe's/light beers. I've found lagers to be worthless, but hefe's can be very good and the best ones are German (beeradvocate.com>beer by styles >german hefeweizen). I might avoid belgians and strong ales if you're just starting out. Definitely try an india pale ale and a pale ale. As for pale ales, Sierra Nevada and Anchor Liberty are two solid ones that I have tried. IPAs are another popular beer style (I'm not big on them) so try Sierra Celebration if you find it (based on wide circulation and ratings).And for stouts/porters, again, try Sierra Nevada if the store has them or Rogue's Chocolate or Shakespeare Stout.

Stone 10th.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Both our cars have full sized spares.

Having my one and only Alesmith IPA as I grill the traditional lobster tail and chicken. This is a pretty good IPA.

That was in September if you believe scholarly biblical guys. But whatever.The chicken was for my daughter. She made it very clear that she did not want Lobster. Although she did try it after I made it and loved it.You've never had the Traditional Christmas lobster? You are missing out. We had two 0.5# tails, frozen from Whole Foods (GDB waiting until the last ####### minute on Christmas Eve and all the other places being closed). Thaw the tails in the fridge overnight (make sure to put them in a bowl to thaw, as the lobster juice might leak out -- as I found out the hard way).Heat the grill - gas, charcoal, George Foreman, whatever. I used gas. Cut the underside of the tail with a pair of scissors top to bottom. Take a knife and cut the tail in half down the middle. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and whatever leaf spice you want (oregano, basil, rosemary, anything). I love rosemary if it's fresh, which is what I used. Chop up the leafy spice if it's fresh, FYI. Drench the tail (in shell) in the mix. Place the tails on the hot grill with the top of the shell down (bottom legs facing up) for about 10-12 minutes. Be careful for flare ups if the olive oil hits the coals or flame (this happened to me). After the 10-12 minutes, turn the tails over for 5-7 minutes on the grill (again, watch for flareups). This part is to make sure the middle part of the tail meat gets past pink and "cooked". Feel free to leave them on until your own level of "doneness". Remove from grill, take inside, crack the shell as much as you need to remove the tail meat. Place on plate.We had it with butternut squarsh ravioli, sauteed spinach, and a cajun crawfish cake. I made a simple sauce for the crawfish cake of dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, water, pepper and seafood spice (Old Bay's). For the sauce, mix mustard, a few drops of honey, pepper, lemon juice, spice to your tolerance. Add the water last to that sauce mixture in order to thin it out to your desired thickness. I had a small piece of pumkpin pie for dessert. And the Alesmith IPA with dinner. It was a pretty good dinner beer, to be honest.

Two comments:1.) Did you take out a second mortgage for the tails at Whole Foods?2.) Lobster juice is stinky

(1) No. They weren't "the cheep", but were about $40 total. Only two of us, so not too bad. The other choice was Jewel, and there's no way I'm getting one from there on Christmas Eve, or any other day for that matter. I wanted to go to Costco in Glenview, but we never really made it in time. Still mor ethan I wanted to spend, but oh well.(2) Yes it is. I spent 5 minutes cleaning it up and making sure the missus didn't notice. Furley,What is this Ricky Bobby of which you speaketh? I don't want my "stinkin' Christmas". I'm agnostic. Or lazy. Whatever. I prefer Festivus and the Airing of Grievences. And the Futurama version of "Xmas".

Furley,What is this Ricky Bobby of which you speaketh?

Ricky Bobby: Dear Lord baby Jesus, we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Dominos, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family. My two sons, Walker, and Texas Ranger, or TR as we call him. And of course my red hot smokin' wife Carley, who is a stone cold fox. Ricky Bobby: How was school today, boys? Walker: I threw a bunch of Grandpa Chip's war medals off the bridge. Chip: I can't hold my tongue. These kids are my grandchildren, and you are raising them wrong Walker: Shut up Chip, or I'll go ape #### on your ###! Texas Ranger: Yeah, Chip, Momma says I should kick you in the back of the head! Cal Naughton, Jr.: Yeah! Go on and get some boys! Texas Ranger: I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey! Walker: I may be 10 years old but I'll beat your ###! Cal Naughton, Jr.: Go and get some, boys.
