HipFlask Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 The problem I've had with the "Imperials" is the heavy anise flavors. I'm not much of a licorice fan. Do they leave out the anise in this one? If so, I'll have to look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcg9779 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I grilled some chicken with a spicy bbq rub and paired it with a Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Definitely a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Starting the weekend with a Victory Brewing "Hop Wallop" Ale. Let's just say, I've been hit harder. Nice body to the beer, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkEdwards Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Today I picked up: Samuel Smith's nut brown ale Samuel Smith's imperial stout Guiness extra stout Westmalle trippel trappist ale The imperial stout was excellent, I already know I like the nut brown ale, and plan on trying the Guiness and the Westmalle tomorrow. Beats hard-boiled eggs and Peeps any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nor02lei Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Finished off the night with a terrific Founder's Centennial IPA..I had that one on tap in the closest liquor barn store to my hotel here in Louisville on Saturday. It was totally fresh and tasted wonderful. I have had it from bottles many times in Sweden, but this was very much better.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nectar Red Ale for me this evening... nice brew but nothing special and not in the same league as their IPA which I find to be very good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Runner Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I've been trying to shed some pounds which means less beer among the many things I've cut back on. I like hoppy beers, but now that Summer is coming Lighter beers will be in the fridge more. I've always liked Becks and saw their light beer advertised with only 64 calories. I am not a fan, very weak taste that only hints at a the non-light original. I'll drink them, but prefer Rolling Rock light as my go to light beer.

ratcheer Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I recently picked up a case of "The Beers of Mexico" at Costco. For less than $1 per bottle, I got a six-pack each of Sol, Tecate, and Dos Equis regular and dark. As these usually sell for $7-8 per six-pack around here, it is a fairly good value. I haven't opened it yet, though.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
