state your beer, drinkers

[Lucas]

Thank you for the suggestions. I will look into those.

[soonami]

Where are you located? Because depending on location, there might be a lot of great beers that are available to you. Check out beeradvocate.com for more information

Listen to soonami, all admirable ipas.

Got 2.5 cases of free beer at work the other day (too under/overfilled, hand capped, or too yeasty to sell)

Got invited to a behind the scenes tour at Six Rivers Brewery by a brewer while working the other day.

3 year barleywine aged in a used wine barrel (used allows a slight pleasant sour in this case) with raisins added

Cabernet grape lambic aging in some sort of used wine barrel from a local cooper

9 year barleywine from a brewery that used to exist up here

No vis: 2 year peach lambic, various barleywines aging in small tanks on different toasts of oak, and a delicious pils.

Brewed a nice clean sessionable wheaty pale that should finish at 4.5%-5% ABV

Also racked the oud bruin base beer to secondary and added the sour culture

Sampled the sour culture and the base beer, and luckily, both were very delicious! Now to let 'er age for many months.

(if these pics don't work i will fix them later tonight when I am on a PC)

Gift from my brother that I shared with my Dad

[debaser]

bruery trade winds tripel, brewdog punk, port none the weisser, and bastard comprised yesterday (followed by copious light lager while playing videogames into the wee hours of the morning in to keep my buzz)

will sometime soon upload pics from my visit to lost coast brewery while visiting an old friend in eureka if i can ever find my camera's cable

Had tonight, it was an Imperial/Double Red Ale. It was really bitter, not quite what I was expecting and really a little disappointing. I was expecting a beer with more body and malt like the double arrogant bastard, with a more floral hop character. However, this was just very bitter like grapefruit rind oil and there wasn't much sweetness to balance out the hops. It sure did look nice though, it was a clear but almost cherry juice-red colored beer with a fluffy tan head.

[renski]

i was disappointed with it also. haven't really ventured out for finding beers lately so i have been drinking the usual. Summer Yulesmith, Pliny the Elder, and Ruination.

[the Repeater]

Anyone try that Rogues Gallery Squall?

Mine's on the shelf, but I've overbuilt it and it seems too precious to drink haphazardly like I would.

[baldy]

im loving bklyn lager summer ale right now..

[B-Dawg]

Add me to the list of people who did not like the 13th. Lagunitas' imperial red owns it.

As of late:

Mad River Extra Pale and Jamaica Red on tap at all times:

Had Deschutes' Black Butte XXI and then opened this XX from the cellar. The year did it a world of good. Needed some time to meld and mellow. Also Stone IRS:

Terrible pic of delicious beer at Toronado, Dogfish Head's take on Berliner Weisse, Festina Peche (Berliner Weisse is a style all sour beer people should familiarize themselves with (which is to say a wheat beer with Lactobacillus). Son of a bitch, what a reasonable priced way to get your sour fix and it's the perfect Summer beer to boot):

1999 10th Anniversary Mad River barleywine given to me as a birthday present. Blew my mind that it survived ten years and was amazing. Crazy mellow and highly tasty.

2006 vintage of Port Brewing's Older Viscosity. So. Fucking. Good.

Surprised I didn't post this before:

Maybe it was because of the shitty pour (not from me)

I thought it was very good, much like the DFH 90 min IPA with a little more herbal hop flavor and yeast spice. It was maltier and sweeter than I usually like in a IPA, in that sense it was definitely more like a DIPA in body and malt flavor. I bought two because they were bottled on my brithday, but I don't think I would buy another. Although it was not too expensive ~$7

@b-dawg

I really like Festina Peche, but I think I am one of the few that I know that like it even among the beer-geeks. The tart peach is perfect for 90 degree summer afternoons.

I have a couple Lucky 13 bombers from Lagunitas that is in my queue waiting for the chance to get drunk--I have high hopes!

[shufon]

Thanks for the headsup B-Dawg and soonami, I'm going to pick up some Festina Peche now that I've heard good things.

[B-Dawg]

^Just enjoyed one a few minutes ago. Delicious.

Dude! I live like 10 minutes from Eureka and work at Mad River brewery 20-30 minutes from there. Next time you are in the area let me know.

[the Repeater]

Cracked the Squall last night as well.

It was a more red, "livelier" color than your pics would indicate. Found it lacking the bitter hoppiness I like of IPA's, though the flavor was richly floral and herbal with a rich aroma. Very delicate beer in more of a Belgian heir, with clingy lace and becoming more smoothly palatable with a bit of warmth.

With the popularity of APAs on here, I was curious as to how people rate Little Creatures Pale Ale? It's an Australian APA, my favourite beer right now...

[Astérix]

[KAME]

Nice Haul! I put down a Cuvee de Castleton Batch 002, Drie Fonteinen Hommage, Temptation Batch 002, and a Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch last weekend. F'n amazing on all accounts.

Tried a zero-gravity brewed gruit Medieval style beer--no hops--it was weird and I loved it.

[raWorkshop]

Oh man I wasn't prepared to see all these specialty beers but I don't know what the fuck I was expecting on SuFu.

Anyways.

[soonami]

Ballast Point: Victory At Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter

[goldnhoney]

[B-Dawg]

As of late:

Last year's Old Rasputin Bourbon Barrel release

Batch 002, older of the two blends was brewed on my 20th b-day (I am 23 now).

Gnarly

[twistedtrees]

I have no idea why it won't let me rep you B, it's been forever since it would. But I've been sleeping on the picture uploads, will probably get a few up in the next week or so. But here's what I got the other day, all gone now.

[Appleseed]

Been very much enjoying Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' as of late.

[B-Dawg]

Hope you enjoyed our IPA (the Sunset). We just stopped making it unfortunately. One of my favorite straight IPAs. Hopefully you got a fresh one, cause there's nothing worse than old IPA.
