What beer are you drinking? Winter 12/13

Haven't had their beer but the T&T family also owned vineyards for centuries and I've had some of the wine.

That's interesting. (The bartender called it T&T too, he said the customers who know the brand use that term).

I'd wager Liquor Barn or Party Source has it in KY. I'll bring a passel of it to Gazebo in April if I can find it.

P.S. Beer-related joke for legalists which is recounted in a number of old English texts on beer or brewing history: A Mr. Justice Maule was asked, "Why do you drink so much stout My Lord?", to which he replied: "To bring my intellect down to the level of the rest of the bench".

Drinking an Epic Hopulent IPA tonight. They're different every time. I'm enjoying this release, I find a lot of citrus hoppiness which always works well for me and plenty of malt to balance it out.

One of my favorites. 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust.

Then I thought of barleywine or some kind of high octane Scotch ale, but that didn't seem quite right either. And then suddenly it came to me...Sam Adams Triple Bock, an experimental release from the mid-nineties that tasted like...(wait for it) freakin' soy sauce! That was it! Of course, as soon as I uttered the words "soy sauce" everyone else in the room picked up on the flavor due to the power of suggestion. But I stand by my assessment that this particular batch tasted like shit. I've had others in the line that I loved but this one just didn't do it for any of us which amounted to $30 down the drain. Bummer!

I had my first taste of the BCS when I was back east for the holidays this year. Mine was from the regular 12oz bottle and it was also all soy sauce. I was pretty disappointed considering all the hype this gets. It's way too over the top, too sweet, and completely out of balance. I like lots of other barrel aged beers, it's not a style thing.

This One Goes To 11 ale, a very tasty limited release from Bell's

Having a New Holland Dragon's Milk and then maybe off to some Beer Barrel Bourbon.

This is my favorite everyday beer. Great on its own, great with food; I feel very privileged to have regular access to this stuff fresh. I just recently tried what many consider its equal, if not superior, Pliny the Elder. I love it! It tastes a bit bigger than the ZD, and while the hops are perhaps just as present, they aren't quite as direct as the single hop strain used in the ZD. If I lived on the West Coast, I'd drink Pliny all the time, but being that I'm a Chicagoan with a soft spot for the FFF house profile, I'm more than happy to keep my ZD.

I have never had ZD, but I'll be looking forward to trying it this week! *excited*
