The Beer Thread • Page 26

Definitely keep an eye in this thread, and honestly just try and type of beer you can. If you have never heard of the style, try it, at least you'll start to get a base of what you do or don't like

 

If you're interested in discovering more beer styles that you like, by best advice is just to go to craft breweries around you and order flights of different beers they offer. Sample them and try to remember what you like or dont like about each one.

 

thanks to both of you for the advice

 

I love beer but there's a pretty limited selection on this tiny 9x5 mile island I'm on, haha. Most of it's brewed here on the island or imported from the UK. We have our own beer, Liberation Ale and Mary Ann Best being ones off the top of my head. They're pretty good. Light on the palate and not mega alcoholic either so you can have a few to take the edge off the perpetual sadness of sobriety and not wake up with a terrible hangover.

 

Reaching my final form next week. Heading down to San Diego for a few days and gonna try as many beer samplers at the breweries as I can. Pretty pumped. I need to branch out from IPAs a little bit more. I love 'em but that's pretty much all I drink when I get good beer.

 

Completely hooked on Dragon's Milk. Plus, the name is pretty solid.

 

Is that a seasonal release or year round? I always hear about it but cannot get that in New Mexico.

 

Having a Spotted Cow. Pretty good Wisconsin brew. Also enjoyed a Miller High Life earlier.

 

I believe it's year around. That's a shame because it's super delicious. I live in Pennsylvania and it's popularity seems to fluctuate. If you ever have a chance though give it a shot.

 

I had a Founder's Mosaic Promise and the Stone version of Saison du BUFF earlier tonight, both solid brews.

 

anybody get their KBS today? wasn't actively trying to get any but got offered it by the manager at my local distributor

 

Founders is so consistent. I've never had a brew from them that I haven't enjoyed.

 

just got on here today

 

It's being released here tomorrow, but I can't be there at the opening. Hoping I can luck into some later in the day.

 

So I opened untapped for the first time in a while today to snap a picture of a couple of beers. The damn app automatically turns on the flash in iOS which is extremely annoying, especially when you're trying to be discrete in a pub...

 

I've got that Stone Saison in my fridge right now, glad to hear it's good. The checkout lady at Trader Joe's said it's good also

 

my advice, as I have learned myself, is to go to breweries especially if they do tastings. I recently went to one where they had 8 or 10 different styles that they made, and the guy giving the samples walked me through all the beers, lightest to darkest. that's a great way to try a lot of stuff at once and have someone showing you the ropes.

 

Best (only?) whiskey-aged stout offered year round. Probably a top five beer from Michigan, taking into account availability.

It's great. It's not as thick as some special release whiskey-aged stouts, but very very good.

Didn't really like Spotted Cow. Thought it was too sweet.

They do variants of them which are great. January they released a Vanilla Chai and soon they're doing the Chocolate and Coffee variant, which they've previously released.

I'm not a huge fan of Mosaic Promise, I find it to be too floral for my tastes. I need to pick up the Saison du Buff, though. I keep staring at it at work and thinking I should buy it.

To both of you: Michigan release was a few weeks ago and I ended up with four four-packs of KBS. I'm will to trade probably about half. Exploring a lot of options currently, but let me know if you're interested. That goes for anyone in the thread by the way (though I do have one trade that I've yet to return on but that'll be done soon; had some life stuff get in the way).

 

Wow, that I wasn't aware of, thanks. Gotta look out for that.

 

I'm not sure how far those distribute out, though. But if you can get them, try. I believe they'll have the Triple Mash version which is a 14% -- at least that's what the package says, the rep told me it's in the 16% range -- and will ruin what you think about dragon's milk because it's so good.

 

Yeaaa.....I need to get my hands on this.

 

Currently drinking Spring House Lexicon Devil Grapefruit Pale Ale. The bitterness of the grapefruit compliments the bitterness of the hops perfectly.

 

Added a few of you on untapped.

I am ChiliTacos on there if ya'll would like to add me.

 

I am Nationalhill on Untappd.
