veintiocho Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Bump Konigs hoeven. Got a 4 pack of the quad in the fridge now. Picked up a case of these last week when I was in GA: the case was close to its "best by" date, so I talked the cashier into selling me the case at a 25% discount. Already halfway through it, I love this beer. Also got a 6er of these. Good stuff, not as hoppy as I expected though. Nice session beer, IMO. ..and next week my favorite bar is tapping a keg of my all time favorite beer, the beer that got me into hops and introduced me to good beer - Hopslam. I can't fucking wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavaruawon Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 About those Sam Adam's utopias... Not worth the price. People usually snatch them up and re-sell on E-bay or Craigslist at rediculous rates. It's more of a collectors item than anything. And I do believe that somebody in Europe has topped this as the beer with the highest ABV. Uhh yeah... Scottish Brewdog with the 32% TNP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImChristeezy Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Your taste is fucking... impeccable. I would love to grab a beer with you.

john_gacy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The Wolaver's organic label is put out by Otter Creek. I've only had this kind (having it right now!) but it's good for a white ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_gacy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Was going to say 'meh' on this but the second half is tasting a lot better, sweeter. Give the bottle a swirl before pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethinglikethat Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Was going to say 'meh' on this but the second half is tasting a lot better, sweeter. Give the bottle a swirl before pouring. I tried a southampton IPA last night. It was definitely "meh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 True, I had their Altbier on tap last night. It still beats something like Sam Adams, but it was nothing too exciting. Their white is what 1st got me interested and some of their brews that come in the 22oz are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethinglikethat Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah I think they're known mostly for their belgians, none of which I've tried. On the subject of american brewed belgians, I finally got around to trying one of these last night, after working at a store that sold them for almost two years and never bringing one home. I really enjoyed this. Nice and creamy, very smooth, perfect carbonation, and not nearly as heavy on the spicy esters as some other tripels, recently I've been drinking alot of fin du monde and this thing was much mellower.

somethinglikethat Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Also had one of these the other night, Red Racer IPA from British Columbia. This thing is a revelation. One of the best IPA's I've ever tried, and it's IN A CAN. Probably reasonably hard to find but I know at least a few stores in MA sell it.

serum Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 yeah i tried the Ska brewing variety pack in a can nice bouquet on all 3. all very drinkable, but i usually like my ipa's stronger. other than that good beer, i still don't care for cans but whatever it didn't ruin it. dark horse cream stout gross; imagine old coffee poured into an ash tray and served chilled. i do like other dark horse like the scotty karate and doppleganger but this one stay away from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serum Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 out of the mainstream jappanese beers ebisu has the most unique taste on the regular i like kirin. sapporo is next; last is asahi i absolutely hate happoshu which is just a disgrace to even be in the beer section the only thing is most of the japanese beers are made by budweiser in usa this was according to the guy where i buy my beer. edit that ^ however i have never had i will look for it if i am ever in southern japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Somewhat true. If you're overseas it is made there, and they obviously have more shit that we don't get in the U.S. I don't buy anything here that isn't made in Asia, check the label. Sapporo has a number of beers that I don't see here that are pretty good. Kirin I avoid in the U.S. because Bud does make it here, but I had to have some in Asia and there are some differences.

veintiocho Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Got to have my Hopslam tonight. It was... not as good as I remember it being :o . Had it on tap so maybe that affected it, but it's intensely citrusy this year, to a fault. Can't taste the background honey at all. It was just high powered hops and citrus, and I usually love hoppiness. Between this and Pliny the Elder, Pliny wins, hands down. And from what I've heard, Hopslam is going for $18-23/sixer this year. Way more than I'd be comfortable paying for it, IMO. Last time I bought a sixer I think I paid about $15. That being said, if you find it on tap or have the money, give it a try. It's a good beer, I just think I've outgrown it, if that makes any sense...

somethinglikethat Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I tried what has to be the most talked-about barley wine in America last night (due to monster energy's now abandoned lawsuit.) It was actually pretty damn good, very well hopped and alcohol was well-concealed. If you're used to barley wines tasting excessively spirit-like or solventy/astringent, this is a good one to try. Strangely enough I found it got dramatically less complex as it warmed, but fresh out the fridge it was delicious and almost refreshing, if not for the 10% ABV.
