support local lurker Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 local lurker Id be curious of that Brown Shooga from 09. I love that beer young. Wonder if it ages well. I'm really wondering that as well, my buddy owns a craft beer bar/bottle shop over here, and he gave me this one the other day. I had one about a year ago. (2009 B.Shugga, drank it feb. 2012), but i was already kind of drunk that night so i dont really remember. What state are you in? interested in a trade? (not for the b.shugga, lol sorry.)

paintfetish Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 the Wegman's grocery store near me just got these in for $8.99/bottle: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/207/645 definitely the best quad i've had, and probably my all time favorite beer. so hype i don't have to drive 2 hours to buy a bottle at $11.99/bottle anymore.

Holdencaulfield Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It's a challenge to make any style of beer. Homo talking about it's not a challenge to make an IPA LOLS BRO. Retard status. To make an IPA that is well balanced is just as challenging as anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well of course its a challenge to make any beer. I was ranting over the main fact that some companies dont even seem to try to balance or make it worth it. Its just one big bitter jug of hops. I like the bite and the citrus as much as anyone else but when you advertise this "twist" or whatever about your beer and it in no way seems like anything special then yeah its not hard to make something basic or just hop the shit out of something. Anyways...Lurker I reside in GA. So Ive been meaning to post some past beers. Excuse any repeats...sometimes I forget. Only other chili pepper ber Ive had was Mikellers Chipotle Porter which was way better than stones and Rogues chili ale which was ok.

sexcauldron Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Been trying milk stouts lately, this weekend: Terrapin Chocolate Milk stout - delicious, barely any carbonation, not too thick though and very drinkable with a strong but not overpowering chocolate aftertaste Southern Tier Creme Brule Stout - downright disgusting but smelled great, avoid at all costs Schafly Coffee Stout - surprisingly good because I've never liked anything from them in the past but this was one of the better coffee stouts I've had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
support local lurker Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 That stone with chipotle was god awful... Had it in a bottle one night, didnt like it. Found it on tap and thought i might as well, and i couldnt do it still.. I dont know if i didnt like the beer itself, or if i didnt like the chipotle alone. any thoughts from people who like the porter by itself, and chipotle by itself?

the.crooked Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 ^CHURCH! on that stone with chipotle. The beer itself is good and great to cook with. The iterations are horrid. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had was just bacon, cabot reserve cheddar, and smoked porter. Fuse- how did you like the Solstice d'Hiver? I really like that beer. I haven't had a Weyerbacher in forever. I used to love their Heresy stout. The hitachino espresso stout will forever be fantastic. That brewery does no wrong in my mind.

the.crooked Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Okay, a few things: 1. When did protector become crew? And is it because of this thread? Cus that's awesome. 2. Went down to Port yesterday for the Lost Abbey Framboise de Amorose release yesterday. Drank the following things: 2 3oz tasters of the framboise (delicious beer) 1.5 pints of Mongo IPA 1 3oz taster of Carnevale 1 Pinte of Old Viscosity (I love when breweries just straight up pour full pints of %10+ abv beers. And then later we had the Cuvee de Tomme which was one of the most intense sours I've had in a very long time. We took a friend along who doesn't really know much. Gave him a great introduction to farmhouses, sours, and how to move through a board of beer to get the best tasting experience. Was a great time. I suggest anyone pick up a bottle of both the Cuvee and the Framboise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I had a pint of an port's hop 15 a couple weeks back on an empty stomach. 9.7 got me right real quick. I've not been going out much and have been rotating between dale's pale, ska's modus hoperandi, and high life in my fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it on tap and thought i might as well, and i couldnt do it still.. I dont know if i didnt like the beer itself, or if i didnt like the chipotle alone. any thoughts from people who like the porter by itself, and chipotle by itself? I will say I agree. The smoked aspect paired with the chipotle didnt mix well. The vanilla bean worked a lot better. Ive had chipotle ale but the only other chipotle porter Ive had is Mikellers and that wasnt smoked and it was fantastic. How was the Imperial Brown? Be a tough nut to crack getting the oak balanced? It was ok. I mean Im happy I have it as an option being that the incredibly small town Im in probably no one drinks outside of bud, but the grocery store recently just revamped their beer selection and brought in some good stuff. The beers description prides itself on having strong character without the "sweetness" of the imperials higher alcohol. Personally I dont mind the slight sweetness as long as its a tame sweetness. Still not bad. ^CHURCH! on that stone with chipotle. The beer itself is good and great to cook with. The iterations are horrid.

I haven't had a Weyerbacher in forever. I used to love their Heresy stout. The hitachino espresso stout will forever be fantastic. That brewery does no wrong in my mind. The food pairing makes me think of the first smoke beer I tried. I thought I was drinking the scrapings of a Grill. But when drank with a steak and mashed potatoes it was pretty good. Bacon and cheddar pairing is making me want that now! The Solstice was very nice. I always have seen those beers and their interesting labels so I finally decided to pick one up. Ive been trying Weyerbachers as of late. That one I posted was nothing special. I hate when beers have all this ingredients and make you think theyre going to be different then they fail. As for Hitachino...that beer was very good. Again they have been one company if not region of beer Ive been wanting to try for a long while. Beer shops always separate them an put them far down the line and the amount of US microbrews is overwhelming so I usually reach my limit before I find them on the shelf.

ShortFuse Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So I was in Whole Foods and I saw this one dude, who I know who works there, off the clock and grabbing a grip of this beer. I laughed and was like "good huh?" He claimed it as his favorite and I must say after tasting it was pretty fantastic of a Porter. He also recommended this which was too bad.

ShortFuse Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So Ive beeen holding back a long time to taste Ommegans Three Philosophers. Their old label has this beer with a labeled additive of cherries. Their new label lacks this note. I dislike such notes of after beer added flavors. So Ive finally tried three philosophers and it was quite nice. Ive had St peters Cream Stout which wasnt as nice as the porter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Samuels Smiths organic Chocolate stout is like desert! I could buy this beer and a dark choc candy bar and call it quits. The chocolate flavor of this beer is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Fuse- I think the whole thing about st peter's is whether or not you really get down english style ales. And at that, if you prefer a particular take versus the fairly widespread iterations that they give. and gotdamn we've been slow here.

theprotester Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm hitting beer deluxe straight up, airport - hotel - beer deluxe! I enjoy Lakefront as well. Never had it on tap though. It's going to be a big week. I don't have to judge either, haha. So after the conference it's on for young and old. Ten dollars for a pint of proper tapped import beer is not even expensive here... we pay more than that for the Bud/Miller equivalents...

vanfullofretards Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hey good deal man, too bad about the prices though. What other midwest brews are there? If they have any Central Waters, try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Where I live it's hard to get anything American outside of Rogue, Brooklyn and some Bridgeport, Ballast Point. So I'll have to wait until I get over to the busy side of the country and see what they've got. I'll keep an eye out for Central Waters.

ShortFuse Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Loved the Narwhal, hated the Ruthless Rye, yet I definitely am enjoying this one. I thought it would have some cloud to it but its a clear deep amber almost orange red. The bitter is real easy and smooth with a very faint sweetness. Strong grapefruit yet it wasnt really floral like other imperials. :edit: Almost forgot about this one. Not bad. Im just really happy that I can get a quad at the grocery store near me. They have a couple other beers too by Boulevard that I havent tried yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
