Putting aside the fact that I don't drink much beer anymore I lost my interest when it became "Bud Craft". GI sits on the shelf for weeks, maybe months, these days. Plus it is gimmicky!

MM818 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 It’s been probably 15 years since I last purchased these winter ales. They got scooped into the cart yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) Dark, cold, and breezy outside today, so I’m going with a similar beer. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is one of my favorite beers. It’s silky and heavy on the palate with a touch of sweetness, but the bitterness on the end is right in my wheelhouse. Keeps it from being cloyingly sweet, which is why I tend to steer away from the big American stouts that many are just too sweet for my tastes.

LCWoody Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 That’s great. I have a customer of mine that was in the Navy in WW2 (I think he is 95 or 96) and drinks Bud Light everyday. When I go service his water system I always bring him a 6 pack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeTerp Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Had the 2020 release of Hardywood's Kentucky Christmas Morning last night. It was very good, but the coffee is nowhere to be found. I liked how it wasn't too sweet and the ginger showed really nicely, but just was disappointed that I didn't get any coffee notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Great Lakes Brewing is my favorite brewery. I was really bummed earlier this Fall when Covid cancelled my trip to Bardstown, and this prevented me from picking up their seasonal Oktoberfest release (GLB is not distributed in GA). But, was in KY in mid November and picked up their Christmas Ale. Maybe, my favorite Christmas beer release. So good here on a nice Thursday in December, and 2 weeks ‘til Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 More Christmas beers. 3 Taverns Feest Noel. A wine character to it and a bruising 10% ABV. Nice weekend starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_Loblaw Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Approached with trepidation, but Damn the Prop is really really good this year. Creamy chocolate, vanilla with a touch of cherry. Definitely a dessert pour and paired awesomely with some cookies. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend. Think this is the first home run since the 2017 Bananas Foster Prop.

Rhettro Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Buddy of mine grabbed a four-pack and shared the love. Fat Heads Head Hunter is easily my favorite everyday IPA. I’ve always got it in my fridge. As they say in Spinal Tap, this wet hopped one-off kicks it up to 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 My day was totally shitty until this happened. This is as good a NEIPA as I've ever had. And it's brewed in Portland. The city of much great comedy. And righteous hate. Both ways! Regardless these people make fantastic beer. The fruit sours I knew about, but they've been doing good IPAs for a long time from what I can gather. This is bullseye on style and drinks like a single. We're lucky to be able to get it in the northeast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On to the fruiters! And this is just ridiculously rich and delicious. 5.5 percent and the mouthfeel is like a triple. Too much vanilla. Maybe the thickest beer I've ever had. I really like Great Notion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
