The Beer Thread!

I was at the Brooklyn Brewery a few weeks ago. They have some pretty decent offerings.

I can't remember everything I had down there. I got a few tokens for the bar inside the brewery, then a couple more Brooklyn pints at another bar nearby on Bedford Ave.

Just bought two cases of Wells Bombardier bombers. That sh*t is f*cking hard to track down, so when I found a distributor who has it, I ponied up.

Which Bombardier? I hear the porter is pretty good, but haven't heard anything about the gold or bitter.

The bitter, also known as the Premium Ale. This one:

Got a six pack of Terrapin's Sunray Wheat Beer for $3. Pretty good beer, really good deal.

Sam Adams Infinium (what a waste of money for an "ok" beer...)

I totally agree with this. So disappointed that a great brewery like Weihenstephan would put their name on a crap product like that...

[Lowerdeck]

Today I picked up a six pack of Sam Winter and a six pack of Brooklyn Lager

Saw a sixer for City Steam's Naughty Nurse at this packie as well. Might have to go back for that once these two are done. I been to the City Steam brewpub in Hartford a couple times now and its decent.

Goose Island Rare Bourbon County Stout.

Definitely a sipper. First time I had it, I wasn't too thrilled. Second time, WOW! It weighs in at $45 a bottle but it's one of those beers that will knock your socks off. Bourbon + Stout.... nom nom nom...

[Lowerdeck]

Yesterday in Boston I managed to down about 80% of a pitcher of Troegs Hopback Amber... in 45 minutes.

$15 pitchers of that in Boston is a pretty decent deal. Just too bad I went through it that quick, but some friends of my date wanted to leave Boston quick.

I recently had some SUE high gravity from Yazoo that had been aged for 6 months in used Triple Smoke whiskey casks from Corsair our local artisan distillery. It is a really amazing beer.

Recent beers ive tried

Jesus, that's a lot of deliciousness!! Also, which one of those kool kats has the good taste to bring Great Lakes Brewing Co. to your shindigs? That is how we survive winter in the Cleveland area.

Homage to my city's college team, and my favorite event on the planet. EPIC WIN!!

For my favorite attorneys on the board.

Someone left a New Holland Brewery Dragon's Milk in my friends fridge after the Super Bowl yesterday and I had to try it. He called it an ale, I would call it a stout. It's ok after the first few sips. It has a whiskey note to it at first and you can feel it going down. It is fairly strong at 10%. The guy claims to have paid $16 for a 4 pack.

[Dan'ROO]

I'd believe it. Sounds delicious though.

Dragons Milk takes some getting used to for some but it is a damn good beer

This stuff is pretty good but I like Smuttynose better:

^Does Smuttynose make an oatmeal stout?

This is very good but Vermont Brewing Company in Burlington VT makes the best stout I've ever had. It's a smoked stout and I get it every time I visit my kids at UVM.

When I was livin' in Raleigh, my buddy and I went craft beer shoppin' at the local Total Beverage. I remember I picked up a smoked stout (don't recall the name though) and it was amazin'!

[rooter]

My favorite smoked beers are from Aecht. quacking delicious, my favorite time of year is when they're on tap at Max's in Baltimore. Mmm bacon beer.

[Dan'ROO]

Bacon beer, eh? Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled when I'm in Baltimore on Tuesday.

My friend had one those the other day on draft, said it was the first time he had it like that.

Meanwhile I got the Mayflower Porter, which is good.
