I'm down for a Growler swap! A local brewery called Hog Haus only sells their beers in growlers.

[Stylish Pilot]

^^ no worries.

Had my first Unibroue last night.

Pretty good stuff. 9% abv wheat beer. Not too sweet. Really drinkable. Didn't blow me away but i could probably drink a couple and be pretty toasty

I've never had Ayinger's Oktoberfest, but based on their beers I have had, I bet they make a good one.

And a German brewery to boot.

Grew up in Arkansas, but I've never had a beer brewed there, hah. Let us know how they are, and let us know how the Rye on Rye is too! I want to get some of that if it's good.

[renski]

dont worry islandboi... i need to grab you one last beer, anything you dont like?

[weidna]

[lowrider]

did a little beer run this evening after dinner. was super stoked they had the juxtaposition black pilsner since i've been wanting to try it but missed the release. pity i only got the bottles with brewer's notes from james (brew dog) and will (cambridge) - kinda ironic that i live and sd and couldn't get mitch's bottle (stone). sigh...

sigh... wish i could but i have to help a buddy pack up his house cuz he's moving to pdx...

[shufon]

ren, the Brute is fucking sick man! I had 4 pints on tap to get started tonight =) (fall break, hahah)

The Ubu is a good beer too, strong ale, has some good spices in it for fall/winter but it's very drinkable.. haven't had the Nosferatu but I have a couple bottles that I'll try soon. It's not local (from Ohio) but I knew you liked strong ales so I threw it in there.. Great Lakes usually makes really good beers.

edit: also I second the Hitachino Red Rice Ale, and their Milk Stout is really nice. Actually the Milk Stout is probably my favorite from Kiuchi Brewery.

better off waiting for SD beer week or next weeks ballast point celebration week and I think most of the beer will be at obriens.

just did this last week if your not in hurry or carrying a shitload of stuff you should take the 101 to the 1 and enjoy the ride up the coast.

Good Deal. Wanted to get some Arkansas brews in there but I figured you'd def be more excited about the Rye on Rye. Do you guys get Shiner in CA?

I've never seen the Shiner out here. It was the first beer I drank and I really liked it.

aye we do. used to buy sixers of it on a regular basis at a local liquor mart in mission beach when i still lived in SD. good stuff although im sure its all sorts of more commonplace to see it in TX.

[youkinorn2]

indeed it is. definitely something that's in every convenience store (Bock, at least. And often Blonde, Heffe, and others).

[Mtabor]

Its around that time of year where everyone brings out their Pumpkin Ales. Here's the one I was drinking last night.

Also, nice to meet you all!

[shoreman1782]

If anyone gets a chance to try Stillwater's Cellar Door, I recommend it.

[Stylish Pilot]

Tank 7 was pretty legit.

[nattomoto]

The Rye-on-Rye is pretty legit. On my second half of the bottle right now. Stylish Pilot, are you trying to kill me? I hadn't seen that it was 11% until just before I popped the cork.

Incredibly light for a beer of such high alcohol content. The rye and whisky hints are well balanced.

hahah that beer starts kicking your ass halfway through. So smooth for 11%.

Glad you're enjoying it

[shufon]

Haha from what you guys just said, I want to try the Rye on Rye for sure! In NYC right now, here for 4 days.. was drinking on Avery Dugana and Middle Ages Double Wench earlier.. both were really hefty beers that I probably wouldn't drink again.. I'm mad wasted right now, was drinking a lot of whiskey as most places we hit didn't have decent beer selections.. fuck I love being on fall break and not having to think about class

Anyway, while in NYC, going to run by a beer store and pick up a bunch of Allagash stuff (and whatever else) that we can't get upstate, will post pics on Tuesday night when I get back.
