View attachment 227423 Now you really have me wanting to find that curieux. That allagash triple is one good beer. The curieux must be something special to make the triple look bad. That allagash brewery makes quality beer ,even the white is good. Im also searching for this weyerbacher stout.

Weyerbacher is everywhere here, they’re local, and one of the older microbrews. Just head east, they’re in Easton, right near the NJ border, just an hour north of me. I like their brews a lot, but I don’t think most rank them up with Allagash or St Bern., to use two references you know.

Allagash Tripel sells around $60 per case (12x25 oz) here, and Curieux is $200 for the same. Being from the same brewery with the same distribution and pricing structure, that should tell you what you’re in for.

People look at you funny when you start talking $10-$20 for a bottle of beer. When you think of it, thats the price of cheap wine. To my taste a good quality beer to me is much more satisfying than any wine iv ever had, but then again im not much of a wine drinker. The most expensive beer iv ever heard of is Sam Adams Utopia at $200 a bottle and they dont seem to have any problem selling out quickly

Just had this one on draft with lunch at the best place local to me for beer. Not a whole lot of carbonation. Malty at first with a dry fruity finish.

None of the above, the Weyerbacher stout. It completely flew over my head, both at the bar and in your logo that it's a Raspberry stout, hence the fruit flavor. I read that as Rasputin both at the bar and on the image you posted. Old Rasputin is an Imperial Stout... made by the North Coast Brewing Company.

Iv had something similar to the Raspberry stout and i remember really liking it. We get some of the weyerbacher styles around here but mostly main popular sellers.

Outside of today, I hadn't had any of their offerings since living in Pittsburgh. But the bar I went to always has Franziskaner, Lion's Head, a cider tap, and 6 that rotate in such a fashion that I'm pretty sure that their order consists of 'several kegs of things we've never had before, one each'

Something from the South Pacific today with dinner. Last one from a case.

 

[HisTreeNut]

A lot of my siblings like Yuengling and its not bad beer at all but I am partial to dark beers with Guinness being my default beer of choice.
Asheville, NC has quite the microbrew scene now and I need to go exploring again...

Dinner with Dungeness Crab and Founders Dirty Bastard today. A good scotch ale ,but not quite as good as the Backwoods Bastard,must be that bourbon barrel aging.

Lunch was Prime rib with Sam Adams Boston lager ,the closest thing to real beer served at Texas Roadhouse. Not a very good beer selection there.

 

[Seasoned Oak]

In 2014, they took a small portion of that brew, and aged it in bourbon barrels. They released a very limited number of kegs and 25 oz. bottles in 2015, and one-time thing. It may be the best single drink I've ever had.

 

[Seasoned Oak]

One of my top 5 go to brews is a Double Bock from Troegs Brewery in Hershey Pa .8.2% ABV dark,thick very tasty. I Always have a case of these on hand. Price is right too.

The Breakside 4th Wave is a Vienna Coffee beer. I'm curious about this one. It's fairly high ABV.

The Yeti Vanilla is an oak aged imperial stout

The Breakside 4th Wave turned out to be a winner. The color is amber and the first thing that hits your nose is malt. The flavor is very nicely balanced with coffee and chocolate overtones and a vanilla, bourbon finish. At first it seemed a bit thin, but then I had to remind myself that this is a lager. Tastewise it reminded me more of a porter or some scotch ales. It goes down much too easily so be mindful of the 9.8% abv and sip it. I gave the Yeti to my son so I will have to pick up another along with some more Breakside.

Great Lakes Porter, Edmund Fitzgerald. Dark coffee and malt. 6% ABV so not too strong. This is probably great lakes best brew along with the Elliot Ness which is good too. With Mung bean soup,an asian dish.
