state your beer, drinkers

[Stylish Pilot]

Went by the Whole Foods Beer Market today in LES.. would've picked up more but my car is north of the city and didn't feel like carrying a bunch of beer back... still got Allagash Four, Hoppin' Frog B.O.R.I.S., and The Bruery Mischief. No pics, sorry, didn't bring a camera with me.

[renski]

finally got to pick up the last of my beers for my swap buddy, one package of beer to him and one to my buddy in the pacific northwest. I'm starting to dislike going to breweries because I always leave buzzed.

[islandboi8204]

picked up some treats for my swap buddy and myself tonight... here are some of the highlights.

[shufon]

Wasn't planning on drinking tonight, but it happened. I think that's every time I go out. Anyway, Blue Point Rastafara Rye on cask, Green Flash Le Freak, and St. Louis Framboise. The cask was good but would like to drink it from a keg, think I would like it better.. the Le Freak was strange at first but good after I got used to it.. took me forever to pinpoint the style because I kept going back and forth between IPA and "some kind of Belgian beer", then realized it's a Belgian IPA.. the St. Louis Framboise is absolute shit that I would never recommend to anybody, tasted like Lindemans.

Just got home from the Palo Alto Brewing Company's bottle release party. Picked up a six pack of their Hoppy Ending:

^^^I love that cover... kind of gross since it's a liquid beverage you're going to drink, but funny.

[renski]

recent haul.

[shufon]

What is that stuff ren? Alpine?

edit: Also, that Hoppy Ending packaging is humorous

[(10chars)]

went on a nice bike ride and took a break to drink a few of these. they were perfect for the beautiful sunny weather

been drinking these quite often lately;

yes, they are from alpine. it's a bit of drive but always worth the trip.

[shufon]

Ok well, here are the three bottles I bought in the city.. wanted to buy more but I didn't feel like carrying beer to my car (parked an hour train ride north of the city).

Also, just drank the Pliny zak sent me. Tasted amazing as expected, thanks zak!

[renski]

just sent my package off to my buddy. sorry I'm late. also post office only had medium sized boxes and express large boxes.

shufon. I like that the Pliny bottle is exactly a pint. though sometimes I wish there was that extra 4 oz.

[Happy Hooligan]

Just picked up 2 bottle of Piney the Elder and a bottle of Redemption.

Does Russian River make a bad beer? I don't think so....

[shufon]

Yeah the exact pint bottle is cool, but I agree with you that more would be better.. a bottomless bottle would be nice, it's pretty delicious

[islandboi8204]

just sent out my package yesterday.... enjoy swap buddy!

[the Repeater]

Good for fall!

[Happy Hooligan]

Good for fall!

what is indian brown ale?

[renski]

beer swap buddy. I hope you like aggressive beer because you have some decently ones sent your way.

shufon. I'm waiting to open that sour for a night i can sit back and relax. today is an IPA night with pure hoppiness in my cup.

what is indian brown ale?

Indian Brown Ale is a hybrid style: grain bill of an American Brown Ale with hopping of an India Pale Ale. What this means is a beer with slightly sweet, toasty, chocolately malt mixed with citrusy, piney, resinous American hop aroma and flavor. It's similar to a Black IPA, but with less roast and more toasty, caramel flavors

[shufon]

Haha damn soonami, that was a nice description.

Ren-- let me know when you drink the sour, curious to hear how you feel about it. It doesn't have the barnyard funk of most sours so it's slightly different from the norm.. it has a somewhat zesty side to it, makes it very drinkable. I love the stuff

[islandboi8204]

renski, thanks for the package. i'm looking forward to trying them!! im out of town this weekend, but i'll open them up once i get back. thanks again

Had a couple of the Indian Browns last night, always a great drinking beer.

Also had some BBC Coffee House porter on Nitro. Love stouts and porters on nitro, like dessert in a glass.

I found two bottles of Stone IX anniversary in my fridge...

I looked it up on ebay and seems it's worth more to me to sell them then crack them open.

anyone interested?

I really should check the back of my fridge more often....

[Stylish Pilot]

Going to Brewski's tonight. I'm planning on sticking to IPA's and Pale Ales.

[eat skull]

Just had a Alaskan Winter Ale.

[Happy Hooligan]

[knucks]

sam adams oktoberfest is pretty tasty.

sierra nevada pale ale or porter, or anchor steam porter are my go-tos, though.
