Spaceman Spiff Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I think that's the first time I've seen a Vermont "beverage" in the thread. For some reason I can't drink any hard cider unless it's hot. Edit: How do they taste they mixed? There's a pub&brewery near me that offers mixed beers, but I never had the appetite for one.

the.crooked Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I wouldn't mind trying it mixed with a stout like a black and tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 ^Exactly how it's done, but it helps to use a good cider. I like pear w/ a dark chocolate type of stout. Apple is good as sub for the tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Having this now, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale. I would say not bad. I'd like to try this on tap, it's pretty smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_splint2 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 yeah… ranger -- meh. have you tried new belgium's blue paddle? it's really good. refreshing (literally) to have a pale that's not that standard 'sierra' taste. We keep Blue Paddle in the kegerator pretty regularly around here. It's a real nice beer to have around whenever you want to knock one or two down. Ranger certainly isn't the best, but it's much better on tap than it is out of the bottle. We have gotten a couple kegs of that since it came out, and it's pretty solid for the price.

the.crooked Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 /looks down on anyone speaking good on new belgium. weyerbacher on the other hand. i can't wait to get back north to try and find some heresy if they are still putting that out.

imported_splint2 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Most of New Belgium's stuff is trash...I know that better than anyone else. But if you can get a fresh keg (really the only benefit of living 5 minutes from the brewery) of Blue Paddle or Ranger for $40 you are doing ok. New Belgium really fucked up when they decided to change the bottling of La Folie and quit bottle conditioning it. That was really the beer that allowed me to hold them in any sort of high regard, and they fucked it all up. I don't know if I would be getting to puffed up over Weyerbacher though, most of their stuff is ehhh, aside from Double Simcoe IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I don't remember most of their brews being great. But I do love a good chocolate oak aged stout. It could also be that I had this before my palate developed a lot, soooo I'll find out when I go back east this month. As for $40 kegs, yes, anything tastes good for $40 a keg.

count chocula Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 blue paddle is good. i stand by my word — anyone who disagrees is full of poppycock and hogwash. good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anything goes Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Weyerbacher Imperial pumpkin both on draft and out of the bottle is smooth. It's definitely one of the highlights of this years pumpkin beers. Edit: How do they taste they mixed? There's a pub&brewery near me that offers mixed beers, but I never had the appetite for one. I recently mixed DFH Punkin with Guinness, I would typically not mix beers however a girl who's beer knowledge I trust recommended this combination and it tasted good.

misterblunt Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 every good beer store i've been to lately tells me about how they can't keep that southern tier pumpking on the shelves. probably because i'm buying them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crime stoppers Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm sure everyone's very familiar with brew dog, always a good choice in the IPA, although for as much as they talk about it having balls and being too strong for most people it's got to be one of the less strong IPA's ive had recently. Not ballsy or stupidly hoppy by my standards. For the next ones im not sure where else to put them, i figured here some people might appreciate it. For my birthday i got myself this, A blend of rums between 6-23 years old, incredibly well made although for the price it would want to be. Hopefully some one here is also into spirits.

theprotester Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Punk is always going to be their 'marketable' beer, but they have rocked some pretty cool stuff. Maybe try the hardcore instead of the punk? Got hold of some of the American stuff you guys keep banging on about, pretty sure it's the first of it ever to hit my state here in Aus. As for spirits, you're talking to the right bloke. I know mixing is sacrilegious with things like that, but a Cuba Libre with that would be INSANE. I make my own spirits and after a while drinking everything straight loses its allure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
