Beer

Yeah, I have a special liking for wheat beer and this is a pretty good one.

The only wheat beers I've tried that I've liked were Goose Island 312, Blue Moon and Leinekugel's Sunset Wheat.

Just picked up some Czechvar and Newcastle Brown ale. Ill post thoughts on them later on.

Newcastle Brown Ale is pretty mediocre. Haven't had Czechvar though.

I bought a pint bottle of Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout. Was loooking for Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout but no dice. It's chillin in my fridge atm.

God fucking damnit. This amazing liquor store I recently discovered had some Trappistes Rochefort 6, 8, and 10. The fucking label looked so familiar but I couldn't remember what I heard about it. Supposed to be pretty good shit. I knew I should have bought it.

Anyone else had it before?

It's VERY tastey, especially with barbecue. Near pitch black and completely opaque, with a thick creamy head that lasts quite a while... You can put it in a glass, hold it up to a light, and you can hardly see through it all. It's got a very "toasty" aftertaste, and it's not as bitter as a lot of stouts I've tried. It's not all that expensive, either - I typically find it for about 3 bucks per bottle, though the bottles are big enough to be worth approximately two beers.

Outback sounds great Do they greet you with bad fake Aussie acccents as well? That'd take the cake. And I'd love to see the decor. Next time I'm in America I'm going there for sure.

Order the Bloomin' Onion as an appetizer then. It's spicy deep fried onions w/ with a killer dip. Outback owns.

I am having a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, barley wine style ale. Pretty hoppy for a barley wine. More balance between the hops and malts seems better for this style of ale, but it's still good.

 

[AchrisK]

Trying an Oaked Arrogant Bastard. The hops are mellowed, and the woody taste is strong. I much prefer the original.

Boag's Draught reigns supreme

Draft beer > Bottled beer in almost every case.

 

[JontRevolting]

true but its the poor mans beer

It tastes better and is cheaper in most cases. That's why it's better.

 

[JontRevolting]

yeah its ok although sometimes it makes me dry reach in combination with smoking cones,draught is good though i guess

 

[The Ozzman]

I think draft beer tastes fresher. The only drawback is that I get drunk faster off draft because it's more pure I guess.

 

[JontRevolting]

yeah it does seem to get you pretty pissed,Boag's is a Tasmanian company which is based in the north of the state(Launceston) the other company is Cascade which is based in the south(Hobart),cascade's not as good imo.I wonder if you guys in the USA could get hold of some Boag's,its bloody good stuff

Not sure. I don't get exposed to import beers much. If it's anything that's REALLY imported, it's usually Kronenbourg (I really like that beer, LDO). I do like the taste of stuff like Budweiser though, so I'll try to expand my taste when I can.

 

[JontRevolting]

another awesome top shelf aussie beer is James Squire(Malt Shovel Brewery) bloody hell they do some nice beers

Tried both beers.Czechvar continues to be one of my favourite beers ever, and Also Newcastle Brown Ale isnt bad either. It has a slight Malt undertone, and fairly well rounded taste
