I went to a happy hour last week and they had $1 apple something or other drafts... I never had an apple beer (not one for flavors) but I loved it. I've tried Angry Orchard and Shock Top Apple Crisp since then... awesome.

I love the Sam Adams Spring Thaw collection! The Maple Pecan Porter is absolutely delicious!

Yeah, I really liked that one too.

I really like the Lindeman's stuff, though it's way pricey compared to those ciders. I like it way better than coolers though, because it's actually like drinking a fruit beer, rather than a carbonated vodka and cranberry.

I liked my first sip of that, but by the end tasted like cough syrup. I love the White Lantern!

Just picked up a bomber of Dayman, a coffee IPA collab between Stone, Three Brothers, and Aleman. I'll have a full report some time soon.

At the moment I'm enjoying some Rushing Duck Naysayer Pale Ale, a local brewer that opened relatively close to me over 6 months ago. I hope they expand more because their beers are top notch. Their Beanhead Porter (coffee porter) is outstanding and so is their Ded Moroz imperial russian stout, which they age in whiskey casks for their third fermentation stage.

I got Alpine Spring at a restaurant and did like it quite a bit.

I as well went to a new local brewer today. Had many beers, all good quality. Brought home their Ragged Neck Rye Porter. Great roast and smoke to this one.

Picked it up a few days ago. Finally got a round to trying it. Oh my god, if you can find this I would definitely recommend this.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #884 on:** April 14, 2013, 06:55:09 PM »

My brother just picked up a bottle but hasn't had it yet. I will hunt one down.

So my brother wants to wait 3 more weeks for our Jalapeno cream ale but the sucka used it in a veggie chili he made today. Dammit! It sounds good!

Dayman wasn't bad, although it combines two different types of bitterness that seemed to clash more often than not. Still worth a taste, though.

Scrub206 · « **Reply #886 on:** April 14, 2013, 07:21:02 PM »

I'm not really a beer guy but i thought it was a fantastic beer, and would drink it again. I didnt seem to find any bitterness that clashed . But then again my taste buds dont worrk 100%

Definitely man. Won't be making it up for the American Craft Beer Fest, but hoping to be up for the Belgian Beer Fest.

Drinking a Bourbon Barrel Barleywin from Central Waters tonight. These guys do barrel aged beers right.

I'm terrible with describing tastes and flavors, so I wont try, but it was definitely delicious.

Picked up a couple more Stone collab beers to try out: Saison du Buff and The Perfect Crime. Will report back.

I've had The Perfect Crime. Solid, but not spectacular. Tried 21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon today. Very, very drinkable, but not really my type of beer. I've really been digging Troegs Nugget Nectar lately.

orcus116 · « **Reply #894 on:** April 27, 2013, 11:26:59 PM »

They have that at the local beer store for growlers although I opted for 90 Minute instead. May do that next time.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #895 on:** April 28, 2013, 08:55:04 AM »

Got together with some people last night and did a big Stone IRS tasting. We had bottles of the classic version from 2013 back to 2008 as well as the 2011 Belgo Anise and the 2013 Espresso variants. The biggest change in vintages was easily from '13-'12 as the hops just completely disappeared (which wasn't a bad thing imo). From 2012 back it was just a matter of slowly increasingly noticeable oxidation. The 2009 was the sweet spot for me. The Espresso version was good, but a little to coffee forward for me, and the Belgo Anise is still probably my least favorite Stone beer.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #896 on:** April 28, 2013, 01:30:31 PM »

Here is the Jalapeno Cream Ale that my brother & I brewed. It's smooth with a nice, light roasted jalapeno flavor to it. Not too strong, it's just right. There's a slight burn to the throat after which is a great sensation for a beer. I really like it.

pogoowner · « **Reply #897 on:** April 28, 2013, 03:29:58 PM »

That sounds great, king. I always look out for beers that feature pepper. I've liked the few that I've tried, but it hasn't become a very widespread style yet.

jasc15 · « **Reply #898 on:** April 29, 2013, 06:37:40 AM »

I bought some Sixpoint Bengali Tiger the other day in a 4-pack of pint cans. Not crazy about it. It's almost trying to be a belgian style and a hoppy pale ale at the same time. I've liked other Sixpoint beers, but this one is just sitting in my fridge now.

pogoowner · « **Reply #899 on:** April 29, 2013, 04:49:54 PM »

My buddy swears by Bengali Tiger. I like it, but it's not a favorite. I do really like Sixpoint's cans, though, with the ridiculous little poem-like things on the back.

I had a pint of Finch's Secret Stache Stout last night. I highly recommend it.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #900 on:** April 29, 2013, 07:04:38 PM »

I find Sixpoint to be pretty hit and miss in general. Not crazy about some of their business practices either.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #901 on:** May 24, 2013, 04:14:27 PM »

Brewing a Belgian wit with the bro tomorrow then watching the B's playoff game. Win/win.

Just tried for the first time Hoppin' Frog Outta Kilter Wee Heavy Scotch Style Red Ale and I love it! What a unique flavor.

2Timer · « **Reply #903 on:** June 02, 2013, 08:04:30 AM »

Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale is great, too. Also got my hands on a Sam Adams Imperial White last weekend...fantastic!

Everything Hoppin' Frog brews is great. Worth the steep price, in my opinion.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #905 on:** September 30, 2013, 03:39:18 PM »

BUMP!!

Bought a Wee Heavy Scotch Ale from a local brewer, "Blue Lobster" and I can't say enough about it.

Bill if you're up here lets connect and I'll take you to them.

My brother and I will be brewing a coffee stout in two week in his back yard with a fire pit going and the tunes and beers flowing.

One of these days I'm gonna make it up by you Joe.

My next brewday is Sunday, making a hoppy Belgian tripel for a local homebrew competition.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #908 on:** October 01, 2013, 09:04:40 AM »

Sweet. I love a strong beer. By brother put his Peppercorn Saison in a competition and got trough to the 3rd round out of 5 rounds. Not bad for his first time.
