Lenient Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Anderson Valley Brewing Amber Ale. I thought it was fantastic with the sauce on my duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 3 hours into a 6 spare rib cook, and drinking some Heavy Seas Below Decks barley wine from a tap from a local liquor store. Father’s Day weekend starting off well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 About to open up one of these. Never had it before, but several people recommended it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 This was a little too dank for me. Was hoping the barrel influence would tame the bitterness like last year's Doom release but this stuff kept its red IPA character. 65 ibu tastes more like 80 to me.

Clueby Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) A 2017 KBS with some home made fish (crappie) and chips. Going to compare it to a 2018 here shortly. Edited June 21, 2018 by Clueby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Russell Wee Angry Scotch Ale, a wonderful beer from a B.C. Canadian brewery. Extremely dark in color but very refreshing and malty, not too heavy with maybe a touch of peat? Edited June 23, 2018 by Vosgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I wanted something to hold me over till dinner so I had an Avery Tweak Stout. what a great beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Brooklyn Brewery Lager. I’m not crazy about this brewery’s beers in general, as they tend to be too subdued IMO. That said, I enjoy them and love Brooklyn. This beer is one of their better ones, and one that is very versatile in how it drinks with different foods, weather, settings, etc. Well rounded with nice color and mouthfeel, but still drinkable on a hot and muggy day like today.

Lenient Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Budweiser Freedom Reserve red lager. Stumbled across a six pack at a convenience store up in the mountains, and enjoyed it. One of the only reds I've had that isn't either hopped up, like some CA craft breweries do, or has a weird red ale character I don't much like.

Kpiz Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I wanted something to hold me over till dinner so I had an Avery Tweak Stout. what a great beer. Mmm Avery Tweak. Love that stuff.I am drinking an inferior but still good beer, the Bruery Terreux Quadrupel Tonnellerie. It’s sour, it’s stout, it’s Belgian. There’s a lot going on.

PaulO Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Here's something new - Pabst American Pale Ale. There is a lot of citrus and pine in the nose. It pours a big creamy head that eventually goes down, but coats the inside of the glass. Color is just a little darker than regular PBR. Taste is not as hoppy as it smells. Hops are there, but not overwhelming. Nice mouth feel. Carbonation is mild. Sweet, tart, and hops bitterness all very balanced. Very well done.

Lenient Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Went beer tasting at Barrelhouse, then Cider Tasting at Tin City, both in Paso Robles/Templeton, CA. Not too impressed really, but I'm glad I gave them a try. Most of Barrelhouse's offerings I tried I could much more easily and happily substitute for either other craft offerings or even something like Budweiser...craft is not necessarily better. I don't plan on touching the cider stuff again. They all tasted and felt like slightly carbonated Wine, but I'm not really a wine drinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really great ciders out there, but unfortunately there are also a lot of stinkers. I tend to stick with French ciders since I’ve had a lot of bad domestic ciders. There are several US producers growing good cider apples and making some good stuff though. I pulled a barrel-aged Old Rasputin XIV out of the bunker tonight. These are always solid but they never stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Vacation beer from Denali Brewing. My son-in-law had the IPA while I went for the ale. Both were very good, but unfortunately aren't available here in the midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It's been a handful of years since I've had this, and it still hits the spot. Surely was allegedly going to start distributing to Missouri. They need to get the deal done, cause I'm a fan. Happy Independence Day, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenient Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Mission Brewing California Craft Lager. Enjoying it a lot on the 4th here. It's reminiscent of Budweiser which is what I wanted to have some of today. Also having some Budweiser and North Coast Brewing Scrimshaw Pilsner. All lighter colored and lighter style beers for hot 4th of July day drinking! Edited July 4, 2018 by Lenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I enjoyed a Transient Artisan Ales Obligatory IPA today along with a small pour of a raspberry mead from a new meadery, Grimsby's Hollow. That mead is near the best I've ever had. Five days ago, I had nothing to do so I made the 90 minute drive to Bell's in Kalamazoo. I got a growler of Honey Hearted from their General Store. It's a barrel aged IPA weighing in at a hefty 14.4%. The employees there told me it drinks like a bourbon barrel aged mead. I'm dying to try it but I have to wait when I have friends to drink with. That's just too much rich beer to drink in one sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) There’s yardwork like cutting the grass, trimming, etc. That’s just a part of home ownership. Then, there’s that cleaning out the overgrown crappy area of the yard, that you just sweat 4 times as much and are sure you’re getting poison ivy. That’s me today, so I’m going to enjoy my little rest with this nicely quenching Brooklyn Summer Ale. Edited July 8, 2018 by smokinjoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me yesterday, too! Bamboo, elaeagnus, ivy, privet, etc... followed by a little pool time with the kids. Sure was a beautiful day in Atlanta.

Lenient Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 3 different beers tonight Kona's classic, the Longboard. Anchor Brewing's citrusy "San Franscycho" IPA--surprisingly refreshing and lightly hopped for a California IPA. Now Anchor Brewing's smooth Brewer's Pale Ale--again not too hoppy for me at all.

smokinjoe Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Red Hare Classic Craft Light Lager at The Park. Sweating like a pig, praying for a cloud and breeze now and then, but thankful in club level, so can go in for AC occasionally. Damn I’m turning into a wuss...ier... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just picked this up today. Haven't tried it yet. I really liked the "regular" milf. I'm a big peated Scotch fan and the reviews all said this has peat in spades. I just wish it was aged in an Ardbeg barrel vs a Laphroaig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
