The double IPA and the porter is the truth. My store has a deal where if you buy 4 6 packs of the dbl IPA you only pay 5.99 a six pack. I was on that shit tonight like white on rice.

Recent haul. Not impressed by the Ballast Scottish ale and haven't popped the Abby Ale yet, but everything else has been very good to great.



Also Oskar's Ten Fidy is phenomenal if you like imperial stouts. Love the tobacco and licorice flavors in addition to the usual dark chocolate flavors.

Oskar blues doesn't play. Dales and blue dream IPA owns

This bad boy had me right. Daredevil Rip Cord Dbl IPA from Plainfield 9 % ABV and rules hard

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I love Dales Pale Ale
The pilsner is solid
Really not a fan of Old Chub

At the blind owl again having this super good Skeleton IPA beer rules hard

Guys I just had this.



And I'd been thinking this might have been a tad overrated. But then I smelled it and tasted it.

This sure as fucking fuck might be the best beer I've ever had and fuck anything else.

Yes for the price of this I could buy 5 Orvals and I probably would, but this is still the tastiest fucking piece of treasure ever.

I'm not even humping on the hype train or anything, just.... Fuuuuuuck.

Westvleteren 12! I had it last summer for the first time. I thought it was great too. I wouldn't say the best beer in the world, but goddamn it's up there.

So I saw the New Belgium + Ben Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 6-pack at Vons today and picked it up for fun. It's....actually not bad. I don't know how the fuck they melded the flavors so well, but it's pretty damn delicious.

I've had 2 bottles of Westy in my life. One fresh, one a year old. Fresh it was underwhelming, alcohol too prominent. A year old much better, but not even my favorite Belgian beer that I had last year. I keep finding that these beers that are so sought after and hyped due to their scarcity are often very good, but not as world-beating as the hype would have one believe.

I've been drinking pitchers of this recently at a local watering hole. Brew Link Brewery is out of Plainfield In. This beer is very tasty and true to their description.

Been Sampling a fair bit of this lately. Not too crafty, brewed locally.

I like the smell of Amrucan commie beer in the morning. This bitch arrived fresh so the aroma is still nice. It's very piney, resinous, and bitter, especially for a 4.44ABV beer. It has a very nice color too. What's your opinions on Rogue, guys? One of the few US breweries available here.

Stepping up in the commie brew game. This one's quite similar but fuller and more satisfying with its 7.77ABV. It's also a little darker in color and the head disappears quicker. It's bitter as fuck. I like them commies up in the US.

Moved on to BrewDog, a famous EU brewery that is. I'm a big fan, but today the US brews win the game. This is stronger, yes, but it feels kinda bland compared to the US commie brews.

EDIT: I'm still a bigger fan of BrewDog than some Rogue fyi.

Something for you Amrucans. Tastes like assholes. Enjoyable.

It's from Berlin though, I believe.

 

[KMADD]

It's from California

 

[AlienZombie]

They have a brewery in Berlin now also.

 

[Onder]

Yeah they brew some of those in Berlin, definitely the Stone IPA. No way to compare the quality with the US one though. Hopefully they're the same.

I really enjoy their Yellow Snow IPA and the Mocha Porter. Haven't tried the one you've got there.

Doing some De Molens today. They were just okayish.
