Clueby Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) I couldnt finish the last of the Brasserie Noir. Was just "too much". Having a couple KBS tonight on the last night of a week long fishing trip. Edited April 28, 2018 by Clueby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) I’m putting an Ivan the Terrible stout (2015) in the refrigerator to drink later this week. Just wondering if anyone has had it, and is it good. I’m going to have to have some help drinking it.

smokinjoe Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It’s not Cinco de Mayo yet, but it’s a nice warm afternoon after a long day. So Estrella Jalisco and lime it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Big fan of Kona Beers. I always pick a new beer for Summer and Kona has introduced their Kanaha Blonde. I will mix this with Big Wave, Longboard, KoKo Brown, and Pipeline Porter as these are all available from my local liquor store. Can’t get the Lavaman Red or FireRock IPA yet. If I can’t get Kona, then I go to a New Belgium product such as Fat Tire. Even though I am in Kalamazoo, Michigan, I am not a fan of Oberon or the other Bell’s Beers. If I had my choice this year, I would add in Southern Drawl from Great Raft Brewing in Shreveport, LA. Great Beer that bridges lagers and ales quite nicely.

Abita amber is a great beer (IMO) out of Louisiana, if you haven't had that yet. They have other beers too but I go for the amber. ------------------------------- I'm drinking Tioga Sequoia's Half Dome California Wheat, which is brewed with local stone fruit. Blue Moon is spicer (also different fruit), this is a bit more subtle and fruity. Edited May 5, 2018 by Lenient 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSurfer55 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Yep, I love Anita, particularly the Turbodog and Purple Haze. They also have a Harvest Ale in the Fall that is brewed with toasted Pecans that is excellent as well. I used to see Abita regularly in my local shops but only occasionally see it now. We have so many microbrews in West Michigan that the local shops are not carrying as much from other states as they used to. Blue Moon was my Summer beer several years ago. Nude Beach by Point was also one of my Summer beers. I always try to pick a new beer every Summer. It has to be an easy drinker and usually a session beer for the low ABV.

JCwhammie Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm currently in Cusco, Peru on my honeymoon. The bourbon selection is nil, so I'm having a local beer. This one's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does not resemble bourbon since it's unaged, made from grapes, and distilled in pot stills, but it can be quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may grab a small bottle of pisco for my carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just cut and edged the lawn, now sitting in the shade listening to Braves on the radio. A Bud just seems the right choice, right now, on this Memorial Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenient Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Drake's Denoginizer-- heavy hops at 9.75%. Not my favorite type of beer normally but I have fun with it once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yuengling Golden Pilsner came home with me today. I call it a good representative of the Pilsner style: thick head of foam, pale color, noble hops pronounced aroma, sweet and tart play it out on the palate, an easy drinker.

Kpiz Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 It’s an IPA kinda day and I’m starting with this Barebottle Secret Truth is the Universe. I think I should’ve refrigerated this more because it’s a little more bitter than the last time I had it, but still very good and nicely fruity. I also love the specs on the back label.

Kpiz Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Revision Brewing Smoke & Mirrors NE IPA. Surprisingly light for 8% ABV, but has some nice melon flavors. The alcohol is noticeable on the finish. Overall pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
