BigPapa Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Be on the lookout for Founders Better Half. It's the latest release from their Barrel Aged Series. Quite possibly the best of the bunch and that includes KBS and CBS. Better Half is their Curmudgeon Old Ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. It's damn fine and I can't recommend it enough. Be warned though, it is very sweet and clocks in at 12.7%.Saw it yesterday but passed on it cuz of the 17.99 4 Pack price. Want to make sure it’s great before I spend 5.00 per beer.

smokinjoe Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I e got the Butt on the smoker, and settling in with the local guy Red Hare’s Hasenpfeffer Oktoberfest. Bready and a nice caramelness. Better than I remember last years being. Now, I am officially off duty from doing anything around the house, because...ya know...I’m cookin’...and...uh...can’t leave...this chair...

scratchline Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Last gasp of summer. Good day for a gose. This is as good as any American gose that I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'm with you guys on the Oktoberfest. I brought some of the Sam Adam's to a family cookout - no complaints. Maybe I can find a few of the Olde Style Oktoberfest again, if I'm lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This stuff is surprisingly good. Creamy head, a roasted nuttiness, some toffee and vanilla notes. Best Bud product I think I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I saw that in the grocery store today. According to the package, JB barrel staves are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is an excellent collaboration. If you have a sighting, I highly recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a six of this last weekend. There are two bottles left. Very nice collab this year. Strongly second the recommendation. -Mike Edited September 14, 2018 by scratchline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 So I picked up some Yuengling Oktoberfest. It's ok, but I get a corn adjunct flavor fairly strong. I associate that more with malt liquor or beers like Busch. It's not awful, but I don't know I'd call it Oktoberfest in a blind tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Back in the back yard with an apropos Terrapin Chopsecutioner Wood aged IPA, and Braves on the radio. There was a time when winning the East was a ho-hum occasion for this organization and its fans, as the real goal was getting to and winning the World Series. Which, we all know happened only once. But, the Braves have been thoroughly humbled and humiliated these past several years, so watching them win the East must feel pretty good for them, and it does for me as a fan. They’ve been a fun team to watch...and mostly, listen to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Late to post but not late to the party. My annual bulk purchase of SA Octoberfest and the associated enjoyment it brings has been ongoing. I love this beer!! worth the annual wait even though I ration it out throughout the "off season" LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 ^^^^I've especially been enjoying it 'on draft'... IMO much better than the bottled iteration found in my local shops/stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchline Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Summer hanging on in NYC and enjoying my first Kings County Brewers Collective beer. This is damn good! Citra hopped. Simple and clean for an NEIPA. Very low bitterness but enough to keep it refreshing in this heat. Got a couple of imperials to move on to and this is a very promising start!
