What's in the fridge? Beer.

[Ashful]

If it ain't at least 9% ABV, then it is in fact "pee water beer," at least in our local brew-snob vernacular.

 

[Highbeam]

nibbling on a Seattle brew "Red Hook" ESB as I type, haven't tried this stuff prior to today ,the store had a variety pack with the ESB, Audible ale, and Long Hammer IPA.
seems to be decent not the best or the worst ive had

That brewery is fairly local to me and I am totally turned off by their silly bottle shape. They look like baby bottles. The beer is, as you say, average. I won't buy it but I'll drink it if that's what is being served at a party or something.

My wife just came home from the store with this....




Friends, it is almost that time... the best time of the year

Hacker Pschoor, Spaten, Paulaner... mmmmmmm



And almost time to start moving stacks and cleaning flues...

Nobody drinkin?


My SIL came to visit my wife for the weekend and brought me an offering

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Ipswich (variety 12pk)
Smutty (variety 12pk)
Harpoon (variety 12pk)

BTW, I am both impressed (very) and worried (slightly) that a beer thread was started at 7:43 am.
I trust the fridge door was opened at that time for photos only, rather than consumption.
Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Sounds great to me. I'm in Londonderry- we have three amazing beer stores.

I have Smutty variety 12 pk, and I think Kelsen Draken (brewed in Derry or Londonderry)

 

[begreen]

Cider here. Finishing up last years as this years is now bubbling away in the carboys.

Actually just had some of that three weeks ago... in Deutschland.

In the fridge tonight, in rough order of strength and preference:

La Trappe Quad
Westmalle Tripel
Maredsous Tripel
Pauwel Kwak
Goose Island Sophie
Allagash Dubbel
Hobgoblin
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin
Guinness Draught

The Sophie is a very interesting Saison, which I'm really enjoying at the moment, but suspect that might not last.

 

[Rossco]

Some Bud Lites. Some Keith's pale ale. Some Guinness Draught. That's about it.

I bought the genius for the wife (Bring her milk in) but am drinking it right now.

Av been searching in vane for some 'John Smiths' but cannot find any within a thousand mile Of here.

Probably a bottle of Vodka in the fridge but haven't dug that deep In while.

 

[bassJAM]

I'm knee deep in pumpkin beers right now. Sam Adam's has a decent one, I'm liking the one Magic Hat has too. New Belguim's Pumkick is pretty good as well. The good thing about pumpkin beers is, by the time I start to get sick of them, you can't find them anymore.

I need to stock up on some of the Octoberfest beers as well, those are typically my favorite seasonal that I'll drink though half the winter if I have enough.

 

[jharkin]

I tried to stock up on Oktobers last week but all the good imported ones are long sold out already. All thats left on the shelves here now is Sam Adams, which is ok but not the best.

I have a few Hacker Pshoors and Paulaners left along with some other non official Oktobers - Weihenstephaner, Becks (not great), Sam (ok but a bit too sweet). Never saw any Spaten this year.

 

[Jags]

Pumpkin beer.

 

[Ashful]

Pumpkin beer.

Ditto. Pumpking, Pumpkinhead, etc. However, there is one that I do enjoy: Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin. It lacks the overpowering pumpkin pie sweetness of the rest.

 

[bassJAM]

Lol, I don't like any other "fruity" beers, but I do love some pumpkin beer. Maybe it's because I have an October birthday, and pumpkin pie is one of my all time favorite foods!?

 

[jharkin]

Yeah I could never get into pumpkin or and kind of fruity beer really. Once in a while Ill have a Sams Cherry Wheat and think mmm this is interesting, but by the second bottle I start thinking ugggg too sweet.

A new craft beer store opened in town. With the week off I went in to check it out... walked right past all the me-too IPAs to the very large isles of German and Belgians

Just a few to start, I'll have to work my way around the store over the winter

 

[Ashful]

Some decent choices there, Jeremy. Erdinger is considered the premium Hefeweizen by many Germans, and I used to drink that and Weinstephaner frequently, back when I was into weak beer. ;-)

That LaTrappe Quad is definitely more my speed, these days!

 

[mellow]

This Hefeweizen will be in my fridge in another 2 weeks, does that count? Yes I use Mr beer, it is easy and I can brew some pretty good batches with it.

 

[Jags]

The MR beer thingys work, but I consider them a single serving.

 

[mellow]

You just gotta keep refilling it Got a stout going in next.

Hey I'm starting my self off easy as I work my way around the new store.

Ive also had a couple Weinstephaner Vitus this week if that makes you feel better

Do they publish their menu?

Picked up cases of Corsendonk Christmas Ale (Belgium) and Bethlehem Brew Works' Rude Elf Reserve (local) today. Had my mind set on Grimbergen Dubbel and Troeg's Mad Elf, going into the store, but plans always seem to change between the entrance and cash register.

Had a goblet of Stone's Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale on tap, while I was there.

 

[OhioBurner©]

I'd love to try those Chirstmas Ales! Never seen them around here. Best ones I've had are Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Southern Tier 2XMAS. Though I'm still really enjoying the Oktoberfests and Pumpkin Ales too.

 

[begreen]

Fremont Brewing has an Abominable Ale they just released that I am looking forward to trying. It has a Yeti on the label. There is a bourbon aged version at 11% ABV that I have to try too. They also make a most excellent Bonfire Ale that is most tasty.

Back at the casita we have a nice batch of nut brown ale fermenting.

Recently had this sampler from a brewery out of Danville PA, pretty solid.
