state your beer, drinkers

[aak]

tyro1, i enjoy their dark ale so i picked up a 6er of the white and was highly disappointed. tastes like a beezneez.

[renski]

tyro, im sure i can get you RR if you pay shipping cost, though i'd be worried customs will open the package and don't want to be in any trouble.

this thread had me decide to open my exponential hoppiness from the beginning of this year.

i can't wait until 2011 to get more..

[Happy Hooligan]

Just picked up a Duvel gift set... four bottles of Duvel and a great snifter type glass with Duvel on it.

I was looking for a glass like it and then saw I can get four bottles of beer with it for like $14.00... not bad...

Just enjoying this now.

Full Sail "Wreck the Halls"

Say's it's a mix of hoppy and christmas ale... but it's not super overly hoppy. A little hard tasting but in a nice way. Very sweet with hints of citrus that linger on the tongue for quite a while.

[B-Dawg]

Fresh Sculpin I brought back from my visit to Ballast Point

Nelson I got at Alpine (got a growler of Hoppy Birthday too, it was amazing!)

A nice trade from Patrick at The Bruery

Pseudo IPA from Pizza Port San Clemente, their GABF gold medal IPA

Older Viscosity and Red Poppy at Lost Abbey

Cherry Chocolate Rain at The Bruery Black Tuesday release party

Pizza Port Carlsbad

Pizza Port San Clemente

IPA flight at The Bruery Provisions

Whew! That was a quite the pic marathon!

Cheers guys, good to see the thread alive and kickin'!

[renski]

bdawg next time your here give me a call. glad you were able to make it to alpine. even though it's in the sticks, the beer is worth the drive.

[Tyro1]

Blatantly bought for the label, was average.

[shufon]

Would've bought that for the label too, I love old Mopar muscle cars

Shot this video yesterday in Tokyo.. self service beer machine:

Tilts your glass, pours cold beer out of a keg, straightens out the glass then squirts a couple ounces of foam on top.

Sipping on Great Divide Hoss from a growler right now.. it's one of the easiest drinking Marzens I've ever had. It is spiced well but not overly spiced like a lot of Marzens out nowadays.. also the mouthfeel is a little bit thicker than others I've had, a lot of which were too watery in my opinion. Definitely recommend this one for a nice fall beer.

I would sort of hope that you would end up with a beer that's not half head and fills up the glass...

I'm guessing you've yet to travel to Japan.

Beers are poured so that 1/4 of the glass is foam. If you go to a higher end beer bar the beers end up being 1/3 foam. Most of their tap systems have a secondary button they push to spit out only foam.

[shufon]

You hit up any of the microbrewers over there kiya?

This just corrected every emotion I ever had about visiting Japan.

[renski]

i never understood the foam thing over there.. i remember reading some smaller micro/nano breweries were popping up but haven't seen anything since then.

[ktothe]

Has anyone ever asked why?

[Happy Hooligan]

actually it's probably advertising. When someone watches American Beer Ads... when there is a glass it's always has a huge head on it. The non-beer generations see this and think this is how it's done.

[renski]

why am I at work today when no one is here, I should be at home drinking an 07 Old Gaurdian while playing some black ops.

what are fellow sufu'ers drinking for the holidays?

[shufon]

Just got to Hilton Head, stopped by the store on the way to my parents place and bought a 6 pack of Bells Two Hearted Ale.

[Dead_Wizard]

Just saw a 3 Litre bottle of Arrogant Bastard at Whole Foods, oi.

Any suggestions for a good beer to pair with a trad. Thanksgiving dinner?

[wizard4life]

I'm not usually a huge fan of dark beers but this one is probably the best I've tasted. deee-licious.

[riotmute]

Drinking some Harpoon Winter Warmer. Not as spicy as I would like but awesome aftertaste

[shufon]

Just picked up a bottle of 2005 JW Lees Harvest Ale aged in Lagavulin Whisky Casks, a 2010 Bruery Coton, and 4 pack of Festina Peche.

Sending the Coton and JW Lees home with my parents since they're driving, going to get them at Christmas to throw in on a session with a friend in Nashville. Will post pictures at that point.

In the meantime, had a few of these today while watching the iron bowl. Pissed off at Alabama for letting Auburn come back.

[shufon]

Just cracked one of these open.. forgot how much I enjoy this beer.

[Happy Hooligan]

Anyone try the lucky bastard yet?

I've got two bottles of Stone 11th anniversary for sale if anyone is interested...

[shufon]

Had Lucky Bastard on tap in the city a couple weekends ago, was good. Quite a bit hoppier than the other beers in the Arrogant Bastard series.
