fishnbowljoe Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I figured that since I was actually posting in this forum, I'd start a new thread. :grin:I have to be honest and admit that I don't drink beer very often. I'll have a craft brew, or something more ordinary every once in a while.Today a buddy of mine from work came over and removed a tree stump from my back yard. We sat on my back patio and had a beer together when he was done. It was just regular old MGD, but it sure tasted good after working up a sweat on a warm summer evening. Cheers!

Richnimrod Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 As always.... Redbridge, since it's among the few I CAN drink and isn't awful. I know pretty faint praise. Oh, Well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdrinker Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't drink beer as often as I drink whisky. Beer is more a summer drink for me. I've been having some Weihenstephan wheat beer lately. Damn good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I stopped at Perrin's, Grand Rapids Brewing and Founders in Grand Rapids today with two of my brother-in-laws. GRB was uneventful. I had a flight at Perrin's that ended with a bourbon barrel brown ale. It was solid but doesn't measure up to the really good bba stouts that are out there.I had a Double Trouble from a firkin at Founders today. They added coffee and cherry extract to the cask. The cherry was non-existent. I was quite skeptical of the coffee in Double Trouble but I really enjoyed it. I generally do not like Double Trouble as I find it too bitter for my liking but the beer I had today was not bitter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearmark Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 On a hot summer day, I'm enjoying a Prairie Gold, a bottle conditioned golden ale. A little funky and very refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclebunk Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Zombie Dust Pale Ale from Three Floyd's Brewery in Munster, Indiana and a few bottles of my friend's home brewed clone of Zombie Dust. His beer was just as good or better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just back from annual trip to Kentucky, and sitting out back watering the plants, and watering myself with a Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. No doubt into own Top 5 brews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 This won't mean much to anyone outside DFW, but I've been on a Revolver Blood & Honey (wheat ale) kick lately. I may like this one more than their bock. And at 7%, it's a nice kick in the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPPSmoker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I was one of 26 aunts, uncles, folks, brother and cousins that visited some brewpubs in Grand Rapids today. I was one of the designated drivers. I did have one beer so I made it count. I was lucky and Founders had another firkin available today. This one was Centennial IPA with hibiscus and ginger. Meh. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess. Oh well, I had a great time spending time with my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Trying a number of local beers in SLC. Red Rock is the only brand that comes to mind at that the moment. Everything on tap here is limited to 4% abv and generally unremarkable. Best to find something in the bottle when possible when ordering at the bar!

bearmark Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Gave the new version on Stone Farking Wheaton W00tstout a try and it's quite good. If you like Stone Russian Imperial Stout, then you're sure to like this one. It's got some barrel-aged W00t 2.0 and a noticeable amount of hops (after all this is Stone) with someone nuttiness. Excellent stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Spent yesterday afternoon at the Solemn Oath microbrewery in Naperville, Illinois. I had two separate flights of beer and was able to sample eight of the nine beers on tap. Every one was excellent! The lineup included American IPAs, Belgian IPAs and farmhouse ales. Tiny little place but definitely worth visiting for locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Having some Three Floyds Wigsplitter. Very nice coffee stout, not over hopped like some of 3F's other stouts. A welcome addition to their lineup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
