While not a fan of Flying Dog beers, except for the Gonzo Imperial Porter, I am enjoying my first Double Dog Double Pale Ale by them right now and it is fucking GREAT. Wow, I am pleasantly surprised!!! Whew, starting the night off with a 10.5% beer....it's gonna be one of them nights.

[Dark One]

Hopf - Helle Weisse

How was that? It *sounds* delicious.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Alesmith's Summer Yulesmith Imperial/Double IPA

That's probably my favorite beer of all-time right there. Absolute top 3. Havent had this year's yet.

I thought it was very good. A great refreshing summer beer.

It's surely on my list of top beers, it was something else I tells ya. Hurry an get this years.

BTW, how the hell are you getting Alesmith stuff over in your neck of the woods? It's basically impossible to get ANYTHING from Dogfish Head, Three Floyds, etc out here

MA/RI have a great distribution. Alesmith is available in MA.

Three Floyds on the other hand hasnt been available since the big "fuck up" early last year. It used to be available in RI through a friend of mine;s distribution company.

Lucky bastard.

I've looked everything and asked everything and nobody seems to give two shits about any brews by the aforementioned breweries

'Twas quite nice indeed. A genuine pils taste as australian beers don't often achieve.

The Bellevue Framboise, though, was absolutely delicious. A perfectly fruity blended beer with a nice amount of fizz.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

framboise lambics are delicious.

finally tried a sam smith's nut brown and oatmeal stout. the ale was pleasant but the stout was a fucking knockout, as promised

also tried the pyramid apricot hefeweizen, fruity and refreshing.

edit: ooh, also got a pint of total domination ipa the other night, it PWNEDDD. living in portland absolutely KICKS ASS when it comes to availability of excellent local brews.

[Krilons Resa]

One of the nearby wine/beer/liquor stores is having a beer fest in Sept. that is apparently going to feature "Extreme" brews. They said their trying to get Dogfish Head. I'll jump for joy if I can taste their juice.
