What's your favorite BEER?

[Seasoned Oak]

Keep up the recommendations JF im takin notes. Ill be looking for each one of them.I really like that beer advocate site. Put in on my bookmarks bar. As i get older iv slowly graduated from quantity consumption to quality consumption. Its what separates us from the animals. (Or the swamp water drinkin hillbillys fallin off their chairs at parties)

JF Ever try Sam Adams Utopia ?

 

[begreen]

Locally Pyramid just released a very nice Octoberfest Lager. We just tried some last night and found it to be quite a tasty brew.

Never tried the Utopia! Looks interesting. 29% ABV... only a few beers in the world anywhere near that range. Do you have access to some? Scores very high on BA, which is usually a sign of a very limited release. People rate things higher when they know others can't get it. ;-)

Surly Furious is at the top of my list currently. They are from Minnesota and don't distribute here in the Midwest. However, my brother lives up there and brings home a few cases each time comes back.

I'm a hop head for 8 months out of the year, but 'tis the season for barrel-aged stouts for me!

Dont know if i can get any yet. Its about $200 for a single bottle. Have to inquire at my local dist and a craft beer store a few miles away. Craft store stocks the Innis & Gunn.Only place i could find it. Even dist who have hundreds of craft beers dont stock it.

Bass Pale Ale
Smithicks a close second.
Shcok Top Orange is goooooood, too

 

[Pennsyltucky Chris]

oh, and Guiness

At that price, it better be damn good! Cost of brewing, or are they raising money for a charity?

They make about 15000 a year. Thats 3 mil for the lot retail. Apparently it sells out fast. ID try a single serving,but im not likely to shell out that much for a 24 oz bottle.

Beer list from lunch today. I hit this place about three days per week, and the list changes every day.

Tuesday was Delirium Tremens, today was Allagash Victoria.

 

[fbelec]

you guys just reminded me that i have a sam triple bock in the blue bottle i need to open. have any tasted this? this is def a after dinner sipper. doesn't taste like beer as we know it.

 

[Fsappo]

Guiness Stout. Got hooked while in Ireland a million years ago on some hearth manufacturers contest.

 

[Ashful]

Oh... almost forgot: had the Full Pint Nerd's Saison last week. After reading the name, I just had to have it. Not the best Saison I've ever had, but good enough, and the name made it worth a try.

 

[Jags]

I am not sure if I am to be offended...or thirsty.

Best beer I have had this year is hands down Evolution brewery's release of 2013 Fall Migration. Bourbon barrel aged, 10% Abv. My two favorite things, Bourbon and dark beer.

 

[FATANDY21]

3 floyds gumballhead when I can find it... if not, shiner bock, raging bitc*, bud-diesels or coors banquet. Green flash also has some good brews

 

[northwinds]

I've got an Amber in the keg, an IPA in the fermenter, and porter on the mashing/making calendar for next weekend. Should be set for awhile.

Had Crooked Ladder Outa My Vine Pumpkin Ale tonight. Seriously delicious beer. Brewed in Riverhead, about 20 minutes from me. http://crookedladderbrewing.com

Tried some boddington ale yesterday. Scratch one more off the list. Not likely to go back for seconds. Strong beer,slightly bitter.
Also Eagle Rare Bourbon. Not bad, can really smell the alcohol when first poured.

 

[Ashful]

If you like strong, and dislike bitter, I'd recommend St. Bernardus Abt.12. It's available in 12 oz. bottles (case of 24) or 25 oz. bottles (case of 12).

Actually, pretty much any quad (La Trappe, St. Bernardus, Ommegang Three Philosophers...) will do, but the Abt.12 seems to be the one from which I literally smell the alcohol most.

 

[Seasoned Oak]

My new years resolution is to try each one of the top rated 250 different brews on beer advocate website. IT may take awhile so id better get started now.

I do like a smooth brew, with some character to it. pretty much the opposite of these bitter watered down "lite" beers i see at most social gatherings. I take my own stock and usually most are passing up the bargain bin before long and drinking my stuff.
So far my favorite ale is Innis & Gunn original. Going to try the cherry wood aged soon. Do you like any of the dogfish offerings?

 

[fbelec]

hey randy was the boddington's from tap or can. boddington's on tap is great, the can i like also but does taste different (better) on tap

3 floyds zombie dust gonna run you about 13-20 bucks per sixer...sad part is after trying it you'll probably pay the price...pretty sure it was #3 last time i checked.
