What beer are you drinking? Winter 12/13

[Skinsfan1311]

The rotation in the kegerator is Heavy Seas Loose Cannon, DuClaw HellRazer, (both local MD brews), or Victory Hop Devil, which is brewed in PA. The current keg is the Victory.

We just got back from Mt. Snow, VT, and I brought back an Otter Creek sampler, (w/Black IPA, Winter Red Ale & Copper Ale), some Long Trail IPA and a couple of IPA's from Wolaver's,(sp?). I also bought a 12-pack of something from Genesee. It's a Fall Heritage Collection which includes Fyfe & Drum, Red Lager & 12-Horse Ale. I thought that Genesee only brewed cream ale and regular lager. I'm working through the Genesee tonight. I'm not going to lie...I thought the Genesee would be pretty awful....surprisingly enough, it ain't half-bad...especiall for $4.99!

Vermont is a great state for craft beers. Every bar seems to have at least 12 taps, and many of them are some amazing local brews.

Spent the day wandering around the frozen tundra of Atlantic Station at the Beer, Bourbon and Barbeque Festival. The highlight beer for me was the Southern Tier Oat, Imperial Oat Stout. Maybe, it was simply the frigid weather and occasional snow flurry, but this big dark brew hit the spot. Wonderful stuff.

I rode my bike outside for hours today and it's snowing in Georgia? World's on its end.

On topic: I'm drinking a Uinta Hop Notch IPA. Should be showing up in cans in a couple weeks and I'm excited about that.

I solved my monkey beer shortage with a trip to the beverage store and they have just reached drinking temperature.

Cheers!

Odell's IPA...... Its just about all I will drink anymore. If you havent had it, try it, if you cant get it, bummer.

Jim, I think the saying goes...March comes in like a Lion, and goes out like a Lamb! I'm gettin' impatient for the Lamb to show up, I'll admit...

Fuller's ESB in the glass now, here in the cozy confines of my Dixie Igloo...

Voo Doo Vator from Atwater Block. There are still some good things in Detroit.

[smokinjoe]

Sam Adams New Albion Ale. I mentally categorize the beers I drink, and one of those is, a beer my dad would have liked. This would be one of those. I doubt he had this when it was being made by NABC, which is too bad. Would have been right up his alley.

Really thrilled to have found an English classic, Timothy Taylor Landlord Pale Ale, sitting on the shelf. Never seen it before in America, so I grabbed all six bottles and cracked one as soon as I got home. Subtle but lovely stuff and a champion beer for good reason. So when is Theakston's Old Peculier going to resurface here in the USA?

Had a business trip to Anaheim CA a couple of weeks ago and I decided to drag Dawn along to see the sites the weekend prior. We decided to go to the San Diego Zoo Saturday morning then hit Stone on the way back to Anaheim. Finished our Zoo adventure early and we were hungry so we decided that there had to be a brew pub nearby where we could have a beer and get a bite to eat..and there was a pub just a mile or so from the zoo. Hillcrest Brewery. After a couple of really nice beers and some good food I thought I'd Google the brand and see if perhaps they distributed in Indiana. Go ahead, Google Hillcrest Brewery then come back to the tread. Yep, I was surprised. Dawn & I had a good laugh and moved on to Mission brewery in downtown San Diego. Had one of my favorite beers ever...Shipwreck Double IPA.

Williamsburg Alewerks Coffeehouse Stout with a private barrel OWA whiskey back...delicious combo and just what the doctor ordered tonight.

[Clavius]

Cracked open a Modelo Especial. Nothing special but I hadn't ever had it before. Bought it as part of a mix-your-own 6-pack at the grocery. Not bad stuff. Not great. But certainly better than Corona Extra, imho.

my first experience with hopslam, WOW, already loved bells. anything three floyds i can find.

[Enoch]

Lake Placid Ubu Ale and Barkeater Amber

[unclebunk]

Founders Centennial IPA and Lagunitas IPA. I'm afraid I enjoyed the former far more than the latter.

On a burning hot summer day when you're grilling up a steak and sweating far more than you'd like, Modelo hits the spot. It's a quencher and not much more, but it serves its purpose.

Having a Dogfish Head Burton Baton with lunch. Mighty tasty today.

[MyOldKyDram]

And now a Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA. Not bad, but wish the maple was more pronounced.

I've been enjoying some Anchor California Lager, which I believe is a new expression. It's right up my alley -- crisp, not too hoppy, yet still interesting. It reminds me a lot of pilsners like Czechvar.
