Sven Heuchert Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm in a beery mood lately. Guinness Special Export, clocks in at nearly 9 abv. Next Level stuff really! Awesome Beer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) To celebrate the coming of Noon, a Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest. It’s going quick. Will need to figure out pronto with what I’ll celebrate the coming of 12:15… Edited October 15, 2022 by smokinjoe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ogopogo Brewing. Cold IPA. 6.2%. With these cold IPAs I feel like a few years ago when I discovered the Hazy IPA. It’s all I want to drink. With Hazy’s some tasted saccharine and you could only have a couple. These appear to be quaffable which is trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 My buddy who hooked me up with the four Pliny's a while back still had some after they didn't get consumed at a party so I have four more! Drinking one now as I watch the extended innings Mariners and Astros game. I'm a Reds fan but will support the team in my city when they need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Settling in out front on a glorious day with this Hofbrauhaus Festbier. Very drinkable, and going nicely with this weather and Falcons on the radio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks good! Edited October 16, 2022 by Sven Heuchert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Heuchert Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Some british beer tonite. Strong and dark, tasty stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I'm back to calling this my favorite Oktoberfest. Paulaner is a close second. Perfect football beer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Found a couple bottles from 2017 stashed away in the basement. No better time than a cool Monday evening with some NY strips.

MM818 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The eyes say it all! It’s not often I drink a beer from Florida. Tripping Animals Brewing. Mexican lager. Pretty good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I rarely drink beer anymore but when I do, I tend to go big. @Sven Heuchert this one weighs in at 11.5% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 For some reason, I haven’t seen this around until today. Always a solid effort. A touch drier than other US Oktoberfest releases IMO, which pairs well with today’s Sunny and 72 degrees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description sounds like it would fit squarely in my wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Lazy day on the couch recovering from my second shingles vaccine yesterday so it's all about the college football and a Pliny The Elder. Still perhaps my favorite IPA despite all the hype. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Celebrating a rare Washington Whatevers win today. This one has aged a couple years and is evolving beautifully. It's a strong ale, (It weighs in at 15.5%), and the bourbon aging and rye finish really makes this one shine. Heavy Seas is a local brewery, (in the Baltimore metro area), that started out as Clipper City, hence the glass.

smokinjoe Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I love me a good Porter. Deschutes Black Butte Porter is my Gold Standard, but there are a number of other very good ones. This Highland Oatmeal Porter is in that top tier grouping. Perfect on a cool lightly overcast day, and a full day of college football on tap on the radio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Working through the beer drawer. Great Notion out of Portland. I lived in PDX in 2012 and it was one of the best years of my life. The beer drinking there was part of that. I recommend this beer in the strongest possible terms. Double Dry Hop Hop Dry Double Hazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I missed out on Samuel Adams Oktoberfest this year because TW messed up and had the pumpkin ale listed under the Oktoberfest sku so it was with great surprise that at our weekly office function that I saw a single solitary SA Oktoberfest bottle which I quickly snapped up and boy did I enjoy that. Switching seasons, I had my first holiday beer of the year - the Deschutes Jubleale - my traditional first of the year. It's a bit early but hey, it came out early this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a winner! We have some German bars here in the UK that now serve it unfiltered on draft from tanks and it is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I like the novelty that I can smell and taste the chocolate in this, but it’s just not my thing. At least it’s not overly and sickeningly sweet like I expected. Still, a couple of ounces is about all I can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
