state your beer, drinkers

[shufon]

The best places in Manhattan are Blind Tiger, Rattle n Hum, Pony Bar, or Gingerman.. in Brooklyn go for Beer Table, Bierkraft, or Spuyten Duyvil.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm not sure what it was but it was too much for my taste. I have an extra bottle if you want it. Alesmith decadence should be out and it will be a barrel aged 08 English barley wine. I still have have my 08 and haven't opened it.

guess you didnt appreciate half of my barrel aged contribution from the swap! no problem, figured everyone loved BCBS though!

[renski]

I'll try anything twice. I originally got two as a gift from a friend then one from the trade. First try I couldn't enjoy it but it could also be that I really have to be in a mood for stouts and porters. I have 2 set aside so I revisit it later.

Looks like Lost Abbey is releasing veritas 009 this weekend. Price tag seems up there at $35 for 750ml.

[shufon]

Is the Veritas open for purchase to anybody or is it only for people in the Sinners Club or whatever it's called?

[youkinorn2]

I'm flying back to NY this week, could someone recommend a place with a decent selection of beers?

blind tiger, rattle n hum, ginger man, and burp castle if you're talking manhattan.

edit: what shufon said.

[akiragreat]

Went to Umami Burger in Santa Monica this weekend. Pretty good Belgian beer selection.

Got some trappist beer with an Orval.

Very enjoyable. Nice and crisp

Open and from what they said with red poppy "no distribution" buy I saw it locally for a month or two. I thought they stopped the club because of issues with shipping beer in certain states?

however I might pick up a bottle or two since the misses and I could use a day out for a change.

[Pavlov's Bell]

Anyone fuck with Innis & Guns?

[shufon]

I've had a couple of them Pavlov, the Oak Aged and the Rum Cask Oak Aged, thought both of them were pretty meh.

Hey concealed...got your pm back about that LQ in Quincy. Stopped in on the way home from work. Thanks for the heads up..grabbed a cold Zoe too, it's excellente:)

where is this packy in Quincy? pray tell.

[concealed]

Supreme Liquors on Hancock St. you a boston guy as well?

[Mugnut]

I've gone to Old Colony Liquors on the Southern Artery a million times on the way down 3A and it has a pretty good though sometimes random beer selection. Haven't been to Supreme in a million years but I'm dying to track down some Maine Beer Company beers due to reports from friends in Port-town.

[concealed]

yeah old colony is alright, if you are gonna go down 3a, might as well stop in weymouth at granite liquors (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20910/?view=beerfly&ba=tigg924) in the shaws plaza or curtis liquors (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/4606) on the braintree line

supreme just happens to be closest to my crib

where u from?

[shufon]

^Had a fresh Centennial last week, it's an awesome beer.

[pepperdanky]

picked this up from sam's quik shop. hides the alcohol quite well, definitely doesnt taste like a 9% abv

[shufon]

Stuff I've gotten recently:

Lot of drinking to do

[renski]

I think I'm finally down to the last 2 beers from the swap. might have to trade again.

damn, BJs pizza chain to make sours now?

[shufon]

Drank the Nelson and Duet last night with a couple of friends. Damn Alpine makes good IPAs. Duet was amazing, thought it was better than Pure Hoppiness and Exponential Hoppiness. Nelson is still my favorite but it's a different beast than the others. You're a lucky man ren, haha, I think all I would drink is Alpine if I lived out there.

[eNonsense]

Moved from Madison WI, to ATL last summer. This is the only thing I've had since moving that's worth mentioning and it's a German beer. The south sucks for brew.

It's a really good mix between a Doppelbock and Hefeweizen. Damn tasty.

Other than this, Two Hearted stays in regular fridge rotation. What I wouldn't give for some New Glarus.

[shufon]

^Yo come on, you have Terrapin and Sweetwater for locals in Atlanta, not to mention great distribution from the rest of the south (Yazoo, Cigar City, etc), as well as pretty good distribution from the midwest and northeast.

edit: and yeah Aventinus is a great beer.

[eNonsense]

Yeah. It's not too bad. Wisconsin just spoiled me. There are a few better beer stores in Atlanta, but I just don't live close to them and don't get to them much because I don't like driving here and MARTA blows for the most part. SW 420 is a decent IPA and we get the more common good US brews like Bells, Dogfish Head and Rogue. I just miss the obscene amount of random local & uncommon brews. I also live across the street from a bar with a rotating list & cask and also a corner store with a walk in beer fridge and cool owner who will order stuff like Aventinus if I ask. Then theres the Brick Store *drool*

Didn't mean to sound like a pompus yankee, but I clearly did. Haha.

[Gecko]

In Provence for a week so sampling some belgians (rude not to while I'm even closer), shame I managed to completely forget my camera, had a real nice faro last night. Any particular hard to find belgian gems I'm likely to find in France that I should search out?

[renski]

A local bar had a bottle of batch 001 consecration so the wife and I decided to splurge and ended up buying it. That was one good beer, I'm guessing they never made 750s after that. Finished the night with a couple IPAs and now my taste buds are shot. I knew garlic fries were a bad idea.

[shufon]

^I slept on one of those on ebay recently that was going for $40, wish I hadn't missed it. Also, they made 750s of batches 2 and 3 as well.

[renski]

Word! The bar had a vintage bottle sale. They had Rodenbach 08 for 15 and consecration for 25. It made more sense to get RR than the Rodenbach.
