whiskeyagonzo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Having a very tasty Hunter Coffee from 18th Street brewing out of Gary, IN of all places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Kolsch from Schlafly in St. Louis. To their credit the bottling date of 9/3/15 is clearly marked along with the advise "For best flavor, kept refrigerated" which of course they almost never are until after we buy them.

drunk Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Also good after a day in the river (fly fishing) or pushing the lawn mower. Cool front passing by us tomorrow, so I may have an Obsidian Stout after work. :grin:I recently polished off a 6 pack of Obsidian Stout. Just phenomenal stuff. The Guinness Extra Stout that I had immediately after it tasted like dirt compared to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Coast's Old Rasputin Russian stout is another good one if you're looking. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Our local North Coast rep views Old Rasputin as the pick of the line for quality, price and availability. He doesn't share my fondness for Belgians but his is an informed opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 North Coast Brother T is a favorite around my place. No, it's not made in Belgium, but it's definitely a close relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taddraughn Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Finishing up some office work with a Hofbrau Dunkel. Nice malty beer with a caramelyness. Perfect drinking weight.I didn't know HB imported beer to the US. I was in Germany this summer and would love to get my hands on some German brews like Augustiner Helles and Paulaner DunkelWeiss. HB Dunkel is a good one too though. Sadly I'm pretty sure Augustiner Helles cannot be had in the US, I think they only export the Edelstoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't make that trade either, brother! SweetWater has a good lineup, but GLB trumps them across the board IMO. My issue with SW is that their regular lineup is so limited. They do a lot of one- offs and series, but it's hit and miss on finding them. I get my GLB fix from friends in your area, and when I travel into other states that it's distributed in. Longing for day it makes it way to Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yalobusha Brewing Co. River Ale from Water Valley, MS. 4.82 ABV and 48 IBU, fairly standard rendition of an APA. Main attraction is it's made locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
