Beer

16 or 17 bucks for a 6-pack, so it's not cheap. I only get it at a bar in town on Tuesdays when it's $2.50 you-call-it's.

Introducing the best beer brewed in the state of Iowa, hands down.

It's called Blonde Fatale by Peacetree Brewing Co, and it's on tap all over Iowa City. It's a lot like Duvel, but smoother and sweeter, and only slightly less alcoholic. Still, a couple of these should get you pretty toasty.

The beer advocate aggregate rating is 79, making it merely okay.

I can still be friends, but if you don't drink beer, I wonder how you have any fun.

Here is the rest of my night (not pictured are 4 Hamms cans and the complete works of Alexander Pope)

It see you got the Iron Maiden beer that i was talking about a couple weeks ago.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I bought some of that. I was good, but I probably wouldn't have gotten it if not for the Iron Maiden theme.

So since it's almost October (and I love Harpoon IPA) I'm drinking Harpoon Octoberfest. And I hate to say it's not as good as I'd hoped. So I'm just wondering, is this an acquired taste? Am I not giving it enough of a chance?

Never been a fan of octoberfest beers. Had a couple really nice vanilla porter stouts from breckinridge brewery on tap at the sinking ship in south broad ripple.

Oktoberfests are never particularly highly-rated on Beer Advocate. I'm drinking the Brooklyn Oktoberfest tonight, and it's just okay. I only got it because it was $8 for a sixer, which is about as cheap as craft beer gets here. If you can find oak-aged oktoberfests, those are generally a little more complex, and the oak and malt complement each other well.

yeah I've never been a big oktoberfest or fall seasonal beer fan in general. For me it's just a prelude to winter ales. Mmmm

 

[muzmaze]

Dont know if its already been brought up...but looking for some so called healthier beers? I love the Sierras and the pale ale is actually fairly low in calories and has some healthy ingredients as well.

 

[Zephyrus]

Picked this up while in Madison this weekend.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Lots of good stuff. Not big on Stone Stoup though but Moon Man and Spotted Cow are great. You should snag a 4 pack of Thumbprint IIPA next time and give it to me.

This fucking goddamn forum sucks when it comes to posting pics i was going to show of this great beer i had last night at the sinking ship called Southern Tier Warlock this fine beer is an Imperial Stout brewed with pumpkin. Tasted like a pumpkin flavored guinness.

 

[Einherjar86]

Picked up some Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. Good brew for a chilly night.

 

[Eligos]

Tried Elysian Brewing's Night Owl pumpkin ale on Sunday. It was one of the sweetest beers I've had in recent memory, but had a nice lager-style finish.

 

[unknown]

cool! I've never been a huge pumpkin beer fan, and you don't see too many in California in general. More of an east coast/mid west thing I guess

 

[mutantllama]

Fuck yeah breakfast stout is back at the store I work at.

 

[Eligos]

It seems like at least half of the breweries here in Colorado have one. New Belgium's Pumpkick is the one my parents drink, and I usually go for Tommyknockers Small Patch.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Jesus Christ. I don't know about you guys but I can't fucking wait for Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale to get back in stock.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Had some Reunion Ale '13 last night. Vanilla tastiness.
