Beer

I'll have to see if I can get my grubby mits on some.

Went back to Beachwood BBQ the other night for Cascade Brewing event at sourfest. Cascade is one of my favorite sour breweries. The place was beyond packed, and this is not a very big bar at all. Got to have their Vlad the Imp'Aler, Sang Rouge, The Vine and Beck Berry. All were outstanding. The head brewer was there and was actually a cool guy. He was talking, joking and chatting it up with the crowd.

Went to a couple of breweries last night with some buddies. We went to The Bruery in Placentia and had flights of their fantastic beers. Barrel Aged Cuir at 17% definitely puts hair on the chest. I was sad their Humulus Lager and Pharaoh were not on tap because those are my favorites. Then we boogied over to Bootlegger's Brewery. Had their Rocco Red which is freaking nectar. I could drink that everyday it's so goddamn smooth. Closed off the night at The Bruery Provisions, The Bruery's little bottle shop and tasting room. Had another flight of The Bruery beers and called it a night

good times. Next weekend we're doing a 4 brewery tour in San Diego of Stone, Lost Abbey, Green Flash and Alesmith. Should be fun

Just picked up a big bottle of Cigar City's Marshal Zhukov stout. Gonna crack it tonight for the USF game. Also grabbed some Samuel Smith's imperial. It's going to be a tasty week.

Been having lots of different, good pumpkin beers lately. Latest have been Dogfish Head's and Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout.

fuck man. I would love to get some Marshal Zhukov. Never had it before, but it's supposed to be amazing...it is also extremely good for beer trading

Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale is not bad.

On an unrelated note, Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA gets the Zephyrus stamp of approval.

Pumking is the hand's down best pumpkin beer I've had. It was basically impossible to find around here this year though. Word gets around.

Oktoberfest beers have never been favorites of mine, really.

The Bruery's Oude Tart, a Flemish style red ale that's aged in oak barrels. Latest batch purchased from The Bruery Provisions. Poured into my Bruery tulip.

A few people have noted carbonation issues, but my bottle was nicely carbonated. Minimal head. Smell is fantastic. Sweet cherries and vinegar on the nose. Acidy. Love it. Taste confirms the nose. It's called "tart" for a reason. This is a fantastic brew. Color is a reddish brown.

Mouthfeel and body is pretty nice. The light amount of carbonation makes it even better..

Oude Tart is pretty famous and it's no wonder why. It's an outstanding beer. Cheers

Drinking a Blue Moon for the first time, I've got to say it's one of the better beers I've seen advertized on TV =P

 

[MasterOLightning]

That's not saying much. Though Sam Adams does have some TV ads, and they make a quite a few above average brews. I think we'll see Goose Island commercials on TV rather soon too.

Sam and Guinness would be the other two good "TV beers" I'm a huge fan of Sam's Cream Stout.

I just killed a 6 pack of Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. Pretty damn delicious.

2 liters of cali-belgique you fucking douche, die.

 

[JontRevolting]

My new beer of choice is Toohey's Extra Dry,replacing Boag's Draught.It's alot easier to drink and has a slightly higher alcohol % and it also has the added bonus of making you not feel as though you've been trampled by a herd of elephants the next day.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I love that feeling though.

 

[JontRevolting]

As long as you've got a nice couch to lay on and some nice food it's not too bad.

Purchased: 4-pack of Green Flash Double Stout.

I had this stout the other day. It was definitely the most satisfying out of my complete order. The fact its like 9% and fucking delicious is a seriously beautiful thing.

The other beers I got were Sierra Nevada's Porter and Knee Deep Brewing's Tanilla Porter.

 

[unknown]

yeah I was really surprised by how smooth and drinkable it was. I asked the guy how long they had been brewing it for, and he said a few years, but it's only been in 4 packs for about a year now. I was very impressed. It was my find of the day

2 liters of cali-belgique you fucking douche, die.

 

[KafkaX]
