What Beer Are You Drinking? - Spring 2012

Odell IPA. I've forgotten just how good this beer is. Hoppy, but more in the way of hop flavor and aroma than bitterness.

I really like the Taddy as well, but it was a bit light compared to the Founders.

I too love Anchor Porter, but I love it for completely different reasons than Founders. Anchor is probably the lightest porter I've had, which I very much enjoy, but I don't see it comparing very equally to Founders, which is much richer, if I recall correctly.

Agree, I can't stand my fridge without em! Nice avatar!

I revisited some Great Lakes Burning River. You just can't go wrong with this stuff. I suppose it's a bit on the mild side, but it's hitting the spot around this time of year.

Despite the rather cold temps last night, I went with something light, crisp and refreshing: Anchor Summer, an American wheat ale with a nice, fluffy head. Hit the spot!

St. Feuillien Brune Belgian Abbey Ale - I love this brewery. I think this is their basic brown ale, but it is rich, full-bodied, light on the funk, and really nice with the 70 deg. weather that has arrived.

I had a St. Feuillien on tap in Hamden CT that was their Christmas/holiday ale I believe. That was out of this world. I don't think they bottled it because I've never seen it, but if you get a chance to try it (more in the colder months) I highly recommend it.

One to watch for -- hope I can find a single or two for a mix-six.

I don't know this brewery, but it looks like Binny's carries its product. Tucking this one away for the fall; too many browns and blacks to finish off before switching fully to the summer wheats and pales.

Some Tsingtao with some Szechuan food.

Also had some Stone Black IPA after drinking some Brugablahsomething 18 scotch with a friend. I think I drink more bourbon than scotch since I can't pronounce any of those names.

NH Farmhouse Hatter with burgers tonight, good combo. Opened a 2007 120 last night, exquisite.

Samuel Adams blackberry wheat!

Thomas

Williamsburg Alewerks Washington Porter... just ok for me.. decent flavor but a thin mouth feel....

Just pulled some Chimay out of storage after 6 months. Even yummier than drinking it fresh from the store.

Guinness, of course, and Ugly Pug from Rahr Brothers.

I've got a double chocolate stout, that will be my first chocolate stout, so I'm looking forward to it for tonight.
