It's hot out but I'm in the AC. This is such a good beer.

 

Lol, what's up Local?

Guilty as charged.

I NEED to try this one...up for any trades?

 

I'll have to see how much I have left. I'm running low.

+1 for spotted cow. I live in Milwaukee and this stuff is pretty big here. A lot of bars and festivals carry it. Some of the best craft beer I've had.

[toddnt]

Not me, that's why I bought it.... Haven't been disappointed by The Bruery too many times... And The Lost Abbey's Agave Maria was a good tequila beer as well.

[Chicago Lefty]

I've got a Xocovesa extra anejo coming along with the charred. Interested to see how those turned out.

I like the Gose style but everything I've found so far is way too low abv for my taste.

Agave maria was awesome! I had like 6 of them at lost abbey/port but haven't bought a bottle due the absurd pricing on them.

Arizona Wilderness(waaaay overhyped) made a really good tequila barrel imperial saison, that beer was great but of course, they'll probably never make it again and opt to make some stupid crap from locally sourced duck sweat or something

[toddnt]

Damn good day in Dago, off to aging, unless I get more.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Nice hopefully I'll be able to pick some of that FW up next week in addition to the others


Im not quite sure what to make of the Double DBA, I have had the 2012 on tap and it was probably my least favorite of the proprietors reserve series. It was good but did not blow me away like the others have.

Anybody living near Columbus, OH going to the North Market craft beer festival on Sept 11-12?

Some medicine for thirsty Thursday.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Picked up a couple Woot's the other night, not to shabby for $10

[toddnt]

Woots are darn tasty, one of the few Stones I like.. Had a Bruery Sucre with a Fuente stogie.

Just had this on tap at public house at the Venetian in Vegas!

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Local restaurant today couple special collaboration beers on tap OHSO/Sierra Nevada bourbon barrel aged quad was fantastic also had a OHSO/Sierra Nevada makers mark bourbon barrel aged oatmeal stout both really good brews and sadly limited one time tapping so I couldn't even get a growler

I used to love craft beer, now I love Miller Lite. I can drink a ton of them and still be good to go on the course.

But when I want a delicious craft beer Chimay blue label is my favorite.

I've only been lurking for the pics and finding new beers to try, but I'm fairly certain it is considered blasphemy to mention a light beer in this thread.

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Putting the finishing touches on my wish list aka dont get distracted by shiny objects beer list for my so cal trip this weekend. Gonna be my last haul for quite a while. Budget is going to take a big hit, decided to re invest in my self and step back to part time at work to further my insurance education to allow me to go after a job that will double or triple my salary. I dont want to jinx it as I hope the beermenu.com lists are as accurate as they say but I should be coming home with some very good beer.

[toddnt]

Headed to Minn/Wisc tomorrow... Cant wait to ship some stuff home!

[Chicago Lefty]

Todd, which part of Wisconsin? New glarus is having an R&D release Thursday-Friday for fhe BB bramble wild berry. Should be a pretty awesome beer.

[toddnt]

Wisconsin Dells

[Chicago Lefty]

Only an hour and a half away from the dells...might be worth the trip. Bottle sales start at 9am each day. I'll be there Thursday and possibly Friday.

 

Here's the label for the beer.

How did I not see this thread for the last 4 years!! I must be spending way too much time in the instruction section of this board. I'm sure these have all been mentioned since this thread is 59 pages long, but here are my favs:

IPA's

Revolution - Anti - Hero
Lagunitas - IPA
Ballast Point - Sculpin

APA's

Half Acre - Daisy Cutter
3 Floyds - Zombie Dust
Revolution - Fist City

Session IPA's - lower alcohol and calories than reg IPA's, but these don't sacrifice flavor.

Stone - Go To IPA
Ballast Point - Even Keel

I am close to Chicago, so I favor local breweries like Revolution, Half Acre and 3 Floyds. I am getting thirsty after writing this!
