Hey KD have you checked out a place out on countyline road called shallos? Man they have a great variety of beer and i highly suggest you check a place out called The Broad Ripple Brewpub off of 65th and Cornell the beer hunter aka micheal jackson(english guy not wacko jacko) often frequents that place and there Extra Special Bitter and the Wheat beer at the brewpub is killer.
And on Sundays in Castleton by hooters there is a place called the Beer Sellar that has half price pitchers you can get great beers like Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, Bells and Franzkanier Hefe Weizen pitchers for like 9 bucks.

That Young's is like a fucking milkshake. Delicious.

Where do ESBs (Extra Special Bitters) fall in style? I love IPAs, which are on the bitter end, and full of hop flavor, but I've not yet tried an ESB.

 

[KMADD]

man thats a good question there both similar imo.

 

[Einherjar86]

I think they're pretty similar as well. I'm sure hardcore beer-tasters and those who love bitter beers can tell a difference though.

 

[MasterOLightning]

ESBs are not all that bitter, certainly much less than IPAs are. They're more along the bitterness level of American Pale Ales. The malt character is usually toasty. Fuller's ESB is a good place to start.

I was out at the Hopleaf last night, one of the better beer bars in the country. I had:

Dogfish Head Festina Peche
Surly Bender
North Coast Old Stock Ale
Anchor Old Foghorn
Victory Golden Monkey

 

[AchrisK]

So, like a Pale Ale with more toasty malt flavor. Actually that sounds good. I like hops and bitterness a lot, and enjoy beers with a high IBU, but I am often annoyed by the level of bitterness and dryness in most pale ales. But that level, with more malts sounds good.

Thanks

I have an Anvil IPA bomber in the fridge right now... and I may just drink it.

I didn't drink it last night, but I am now. This is one fine IPA! Thee top rated IPA at Ratebeer.com. Actually I think Anvil has their brews as the top rated in a few different styles.

yum yum eat em up!

North Coast Old Stock Ale

I recently tried North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. I loved it. That's a good brewing company.

 

[AchrisK]

^That there is a great brew!

 

[KMADD]

sounds good. I tried a beer called Leinekugels Summer Shandy i will be damned if that stuff doesn't taste like lemonade beer not too bad.

By far the worst of the Leine family. Complete shit, it tastes like sand. Sunset Wheat is way better.

 

[KMADD]

I like that beer too.

This thread needed this.

 

[KMADD]

Shiner Bock

 

[Einherjar86]

Anyone else a fan of Delirium or Gulden Draak? They're both rich Belgian beers.

 

[KMADD]

Yeah but my fave are the Chimay lines of belgian beer.

 

[Belligerent]

Chimay and Hoegaarden are the best Belgium has to offer.
