Zombie dust is the jam. Alpha king move out of the way.

Looks like I'll pay more attention to their releases now

That's actually not a good idea at all. Keep beer glasses clean, and at room temperature.

I completely agree. I hate it when people freeze their glasses, even worse when they put their beer in the freezer and take it out just before it freezes. Glasses are the best thing for good beers. I like to be able to see my beer, the color, the foam, the residue left on the sides of the glass... I actually have a pretty large collection of beer glasses (pints, 22's, mugs, tasters...)

If you live in the US then the only place you can buy this is at bevmo and I think its $7 a 6 pack
Tried this when I went to new Zealand a few years back and fell in love with it

[codyace]

Lips of Faith series is soooo good

[DeathMetal]

Beers I've had that are much better "cool" or closer to room temperature:
Dogfish Head Fort
Dogfish Head 120 IPA
Dogfish Head Pangaea
Arrogant Bastard Ale
La Fin Du Monde (although even better nice and cold from a tap)
Stone IPA

I always either drink out of my Hoegaarden glass or my brandy snifter.

By the way, not too sure if there's any Florida natives in this thread (no I haven't bothered to look) but has anyone been to Cock N' Bull in Sarasota, Florida? I hear it's one of the top 5 beer bars in the country. I'll surely be hitting that up one of these days when I've got about 100$ to spend on beer. I'm dying to try the Westverlen (spelling?) quad.

Old Rasputin was one of Entry level of Dark beer for me.. haha

I really need to start checking this thread more often and posting up what I drink, as I'm always looking for something new to try.

I'm my fridge right now I have Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre and Theobroma along with this Samuel Smith Tadcaster which I have yet to try.


Edit: Just picked up a 4-pack of Old Rasputin (which I love) and 2 bottles of Ayinger, one is the Weizenbock and the other is the Oktober Fest-Marzen. Their Doppelbock is one of my favorite beers so I thought I'd give these a try.

I love Porters but, Stouts seem to have come to mean burnt to shit these days.

Pumpkin Beer Review so far

Dogfish Punking - B - Pumpkin Puree isn't my favorite, but its' drinkable.

Riverhorse Pumpkin - B- -Weaksauce. Watery, taste like pumpkin roots.

Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin - A - My freakin favorite. Good spices, nice pumpkin taste, and 8% ABV. Do it up!

I am surprise that I haven't had any pumpkin beers yet ! When I tried to have it, it's always after the season.

This year I will try both Dog fish Pumpkin and Weyerbacher Imperial Pumkin for sure..


BTW Cody, Does Wyerbacher one taste much "Imperial~ish" at all?

For some reason Dogfish and Weyerbacher are out super early this year, namely to keep up with demand. I personally would rather have had them come out later, but if it enables them to have more of the winter stouts, so be it

It's a little over the top in total flavor, but I like that in a pumpkin beer. Slightly boozy, but it doesn't come off as 'too hot'...you can crank a few of them down without realizing it (which is good or bad)

[Redstar]

I tried a few pumpkin beers last year and of the ones I tried I thought that ST Pumking was the best. DFH Punkin Ale is also great.

[slowvia]

I havent really had Pumpkin beer before, maybe Ill give it a go this year! Winter in Oregon sucks for weather, but kicks ASS for beer!
A few things Im getting excited for this winter:

[Redstar]

If you've never had any, you should definitely try some. They taste great.

[silviaguy240]

I live in the state dogfish head is from, and i went into a fairly good sized liquor store yesterday and they didnt have dogfish pumpkin!!! WTF? so i got a sixer of blue moon pumpkin. apparently Yuengling has a oktober fest/pumpkin ale out this year.



Blue Moon Pumpkin - C- not really pumpkin'y more just a normal blue moon with a light hint of spices
Sam Adams Pumpkin - B+ More like the dogfish head, but i think it only comes in the variety pack

[AeroDesigns]

^ I saw that pumpkin blue moons the other day.. was gonna try but guess now i know. Thanks


Tried some Jamaican Beer called Red Stripe, cool bottle... but that shit was terrible.

Shock top all summer
Samuel Adams Summer variety pack was fun to try

You should try Sessions, its an Oregon lager thats has the same bottle (actually if you were illiterate you could mistake the two VERY easily, haha) and is much better in my opinion.
I did have a pumpkin beer a few weeks ago, but I dont remember what brewery, I dont really remember how it was because my girl drank most of it, lol. Ill have to hit up the 'Stein and pick some soon!

Heres about half of my collection of Rogue bottles just for shits and giggles

[word sux]

tried 2 new beers today and both SUCKED



Belhaven Scottish Ale - F (at best)
terrible, tastes like coors light. I normally LOVE scottish beers (brewdog, skull splitter) but this is just terrible.



Ommegang - D
Supposed to be a belgian abbey ale but I couldn't tell since it really didn't taste like anything. It had a decent head and some okay lacing and smelled dark and fruity but the flavor just was not there.

Just attended Three Floyds 15th Anniversary party yesterday and got these.


First is the XV. Baller Stout, a blend of Surly Darkness, Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch, De Struise’s Black Albert, and Three Floyds own Dark Lord Imperial Stout


Also grabbed a Conquistador Porter, which is a barrel aged porter brewed with chiles


And stocked up on more Zombie Dust and Behemoth (which is Three Floyds seasonal Barley wine)

Hey Tony. We still need to go grab some beers. You guys are so lucky to live next to Three Floyds.

What is love?

Left Hand Milk Stout on Nitro-Tap

[word sux]

sippin in some victory storm king








its a great stout if you love hops, but for me the hops overpower the malt so its not very stoutish

[codyace]

The biggest 'nice' FU I could ever give right now to you two fuckers above


Some good stuff from the past week on tap:

Flying Dog - Raging Bitch A
This is damn tasty. Nice hop taste, but nothing overwhelming. Little hot on the booze, but so darn good.

Left Hand - Fade To Black Vol 3 B+
Not a bad tasting Stout, but I wanna try Vol 1 and 2 as well with this. Still very drinkable for the ABV

Lancaster Shoofly Pie Porter (Nitro) B
Not a bad beer, I think the Nitro really helped it out thought. Would be interested to try it on co2 first.

Bottle wise:
2011 Troegs Mad Elf A
'11 is light years better than '10, and has the Elf back on form. Boozy, cherries, and goodness. Kinda odd to see it out so soon, but I couldn't resist it!

2008 Troegs Mad Elf A
A little 'calmer than this years, but still good. The fresh cherry taste has faded to a more sedated taste, and overall it's very good. to be honest you can'kinda' tell it's the same beer, but only if you were told. Aging has changed the beer...for the better? Well yes...but '11 is so damn good it's hard to overcome it.

Ithica - Cold Front B
Nice little Weizenbock. Nothing to write home about, but would drink again. Sessionable!


And the best beer this week (which we had at the release, but my first bottle since then)

Weyerbacher - Rapture A kinda+


Sour Goodness from Weyerbacher! While I still like Riserva more, this is a darn good close 2nd...no fruity taste, just pure funky sour goodness! Quick on the tounge, yet the tastebuds will explode regardless with this. Little pricey, but so darmn good. Perfect End to a great week.
