state your beer, drinkers

Nice seasonal Pumpkin ale for the cold Northeast fall.

Go Phillies! Going to the game after the GRE's tomorrow so it's a big day

i tried this stuff for the first time today, and i must say, i was very impressed!

its not that its that amazing of a beer, but it was only $6.00 for a 12 pack! for being cheaper than some bud light, or some natty light, this stuff was very good.

[renski]

went with the bear republic racer 5 and hop rod ale to a party. shortly after i had finished those, i tried what people were drinking from the keg. PBR....now that was my first time drinking it but is it supposed to taste like armpits and BO??

[B-Dawg]

Hahaha...

I'll be drinking a Hop Rod at a party tonight myself. I also have a beer brewed with spruce new growth tips to bring.

I also cracked my last Pliny the Elder this afternoon while cooking.

My friends and I had the Alesmith Wee Heavy. It was good. Tasted like a barley wine but with some extra smokiness/roastiness.

[B-Dawg]

The spruce beer was bomby.

The party had a keg of IPA once the masses cleared the foul keg of Olympia, thus I am smashed.

Last night, I went with some friend's to Monk's in Philly. The wait was horrible, but the beer selection made the wait less bad. I had Avery's Ale to the Chief and St. Bernardus 12, my friends had the Monk's Sour Ale, St. Bernardus Witbier, Brooklyn Flemish-style Gold Ale, Bell's HopSlam, and Delerium Tremens.

Then we went to Ten Stone where I had Founders Dryhopped Pale Ale and Troeg Dead Reckoning porter. I don't remember what they had though.

The main reason I wanted to go to Monk's was because I had heard they had Pliny the Elder, and it was on their website, but last night when I asked they were out Nice beer had last night regardless

[jeanunit]

anyone else?

very nice .

my first time trying this stuff tonight, and i must say the smell and taste is exactly like a heineken

My friend and I enjoyed a most magnificent beer this evening, Russian River's Temptation. Unfortunately my camera is dead, but here's a pic of the closed bottle.

It had that wonderful Brett flavor executed perfectly, and when you heald it in your mouth and breather in you got a good sense of the chardonnay barrel aging it went through. This was a damn good beer. We paired it with camembert and warm old world sourdough.

[ROYALEFATALE]

this shit is so good!

[debaser]

stopped at the pub during lunch break and had a pint of Rogue dry hopped St. Rogue Red, very nice

[marcococo]

i drink most beers/ales , lager has too much gas for me with the excpetion of maybe peroni and turborg

Beer of choice right now is a local scottish beer - innis gunn, its EXTREMELY smokey and definetly an acquired taste

I just picked up a six-pack of Rogue Dead Guy Ale, and it is delicious.

what's in the fridge at the moment (always changing):

[soonami]

Stoudts Double IPA

[tomatous]

Here are some pictures from the dogfish head brewery in milton DE.

Where all that wonderful beer is made!

Giant oak canisters.

that little machine is responsible for the first 60 min IPA they ever made.. From there they discovered the 90 and so fourth..

A little souvenir

[zimmerman]

I bought a large jug (yes jug) of Mill Street Framboise from the local Mill Street Brewery here in Toronto...it's so great for the Fall weather.

Highly recommended if you're in the area.

[jude_smith]

I'm a big fan of the following in no particular order.

Asahi

Coopers Pale Ale (Australian Beer)

Tiger

Little Creatures (Australian Beer)

Also my parents make a pretty mean draught and not a bad stout either however I'm still trying to acquire a taste for that one.

Stone Arrogant Bastard with a ridiculously good burrito for lunch. Anyone who likes Arrogant Bastard care to share their feelings on Oak Aged and Double Bastard?

I was pleasantly surprised

I haven't had the oaked in a while, but what I do remember about it is do not cook with it. It was nastily bitter. I shared an '06 double bastard with my friend a month or so ago. It was just past it's prime I think. Still great, just a bit over cellared. I am excited that it's getting released this month, I haven't had a fresh one in a while.

He heh. Tuborg eh? That's like the Pabst Blue Ribbon of Britain/Ireland. Do you guys get Dutch Gold in Scotland? It's the cheapest beer you can buy in Ireland.....€6 for 8 pint cans. Still expensive as hell by American standards.

I don't care for Arrogant Bastard much, but I fucking loved the Oaked AB. Had it on tap at their brewery. They were selling 6-packs of it there too.

what's in the fridge at the moment (always changing):

Fuck I hate Fat Tire. Can someone please explain why it's pretty much the most famous commercialized micro-brew of all time?

Because its relative mediocrity and lack of any characteristics that could be perceived as overwhelming make it appealing to those who are attracted to the micro-brew aspect, but aren't particularly interested in over the top beers? Or a much more simple answer is that at least in my experience, it is frequently the only micro-brew option at places like 7-11, and I will take Fat Tire over Budweiser or MGD any day.

It's considered a micro-brew? It's common as dirt here (just as cheap too). It's good for when people come over and help themselves to a beer in your fridge. They don't know what anything else is so they reach for that, leaving everything else for you.

I am not a fan of the Oaked Arrogant bastard. Bought a 6 pack once, never tempted to try it again. I love the regular AB. The oaked kind of takes the edge off, but doesn't add anything to the beer. AB is kind of like 60 minute with a lot more bitter, it isn't interesting enough when you take away the bite. Double Bastard is fantastic.

As of late:

A new IPA for me. Not bad. Very floral. I think Pliny ruined IPAs for me.

I was not a fan of this. It was like a barleywine, but it had a slightly more hoppy aroma. I think I would have liked it if it wasn't promising to be a double pale.

This was great. A very fruity and aromatic dubbel

This is a favorite of mine. I loves me a good tripel

Tonight's first sampling: This was a good ass muthafuckin barleywine. It was spicy, luscious, and sweet, with enough hops and spice flavor to balance it out.

Tonight we're doing a food pairing with some Cantillon vintage and Dogfish Head Midas Touch. More pics to come...

[broneck]

investigate this stuff - i want to get it brought on a small scale to Ontario

They sell that shit in a jug? How much?

I just picked up a bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale...It's not bad...definitely not the best abbey/trappist type ale I've had...but its brewed in New York and half the price of the Belgian ale's so I figure I'm getting what I paid for.
