the.crooked Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Anything by Oskar Blues is on point. Took me a minute to get on with em, but I totally love them now. As for 21st amendment's food; I haven't the slightest. I didn't go to the brewery when I was in the bay. I was so turned off by their beers that I didn't wanna go. Especially when Russian River was in Santa Rosa, Thirsty Bear also in SF, Linden St Brewing in Oakland, Rosamunde and Toranado right next to eachother in Lower Haight, Rogue Ale house in North Beach, Le Trap also in North Beach, Monks Kettle in the Mission, The Trappist in Oakland and lastly Beer Revolution in Oakland as well. There are way too many awesome spots in the bay to waste your time with mediocre beer and food. Any of those spots I just listed will give you a better experience. Of course in Petaluma there is Lagunitas and then Bear Republic in Healdsburg. Never had the chance to get out to either. If you are down for a drive, go to either Stone in Escondido, CA or Deschutes in Portland. Not that you didn't necessarily know of those places. Just felt like having a reminder of everywhere I need to go back to when I visit. That's also a great list for anyone who frequents this thread who is going to the Bay anytime soon.

somethinglikethat Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Anything by Oskar Blues is on point. Took me a minute to get on with em, but I totally love them now. for the most part I agree. But the Gubna just did not do it for me. I thought it had a disgusting garlicy/shallot vegetable flavor that ruined the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED REED Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I can't get enough of this beer, an American IPA made with Belgian yeast. Its hoppy but not overwhelming and slightly bitter. 8.3% alcohol is hidden well. This is one of my favorites right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFuse Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 i like sweetwater blue, as far as fruity (/nh) beers go By far the best blueberry beer you can find. Almost has a spice to it.

So what do you feel when you drink Belgian Whites?....theyre made with orange peel. If its a "flavored" beer, for that is, it has to be brewed with the addition not something added after the final product, such as Lambics. I dont go out of my way for these beers but if I see them made by a respectable company from my list I will give them a try. Dogfish Aprihop wasnt the best but Dogfish has always been here and there with things. The Black&blue and Red&White were very interesting. The only companies I will refuse to try anymore from are: Rogue, New Belgium, and Sierra Nevada. I know I might gain some hate for disliking Rogue but.....sorry yall. Although I was curious of their liquor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count chocula Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 i typically hate on fruit flavored brews, but a good one's not so bad in doses. was at my bar the other day clowning on lambic when the bartender decided it was time i try "a real lambic". it was tasty - and not that syrup bullshit that's so prevalent. you can't just sign off an entire genre of anything - especially food/drink. anyone who does so has a lot to learn and is likely missing out on some good shit because they're scared to 'grow a vagina'.

Agreed. Lindemins makes decent lambics but over all are too sweet for my tastes. Also too people have been ruining these beers by doing "Fram Bombs" and that just plain pisses me off. I will still continue to try stuff even after disappointments in the past but its usually when Im caught in way to where Im not feeling the usual...for instance being that New Belgium isnt something sought after when it comes to my tastes I did end up buying this the other night. Its not bad, I just feel lately my disgust with some beers is that Im drinking too many Pale Ales as of late. Im "hopped out." I need to bridge back to some maltly browns :) Ill have to grab this next time Im out...tis tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit was played out with St. Ides "Special Brew" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
