MrChupacabra Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Oh shit, i gotta get my hands on that 14th Anniversary Stone Imperial IPA. Didn't realize that had dropped already. Edit: also, i'm so out of my routine these days. I don't think i've drank more than 10 or 12 beers in the past month. Unintentional clean living ftl.

MrChupacabra Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I like Flying Dog, but that Hefe is so fucking bad. It tastes like bad banana chips...in beer form. Their Pale Ales are definitely their strong point. Both the ones shown there and Raging Bitch are all good. I wouldn't go so far as to call them great, but they're definitely superior to a rather large chunk of the shit out there. They can be a bit pricey in some places though, for what they are.

theprotester Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Out of interest, do you mind telling me how much you paid for the Flying Dog pack? I really dig their packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprotester Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Fifteen bucks for 12 beers? You guys have it FUCKING sweet. I pay nearly ten dollars for ONE flying dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Had this the other night on tap. I think the only thing impressive about it was the alcohol content. However, it could be that the place doesn't keep their lines clean as not much else I had that night really stood out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_gacy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 This right now from Smuttynose. Absolutely horrible. I have a 6 pack of this, don't know what to do w/ the other 5. Label says 'Session ale brewed w/ spice.' No idea what the spice is in this, but yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Put it in the back of your fridge. Give it to people you don't really like who are at your house and ask if they can have a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anything goes Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 have not had a flying dog i didn't like......so far. I like flying dog because they're local but overall I find their catalog of beers to be below average with two exceptions - Raging Bitch and Double Dog. I would buy a six pack of Sierra Pale ale or Porter over Flying Dog any day. Flying Dog does a great job of marketing their products but I would like to see more seasonal varieties and experimental beers (IMHO). Regardless any craft brewery putting out mix 12 packs is dope. Terrapin and Great Lakes have amazing sampler packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 UPDATE- I had a few more of those Smuttynose and will have to suspect the 1st bottle was skunked. The others are drinkable, but not anything special either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterblunt Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 drinking this right now. I've had it quite a few times, it is stellar. I been on a real IPA kick lately. Looked it up on beeradvocate and it got an A+ from the bros. I gotta say the ralph steadman beers are kind of mediocre for the most part, and agree with whoever was saying they should do more seasonal brews.

CACashRefund Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 absolute win! have not had a flying dog i didn't like......so far.

somethinglikethat Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 This right now from Smuttynose. Absolutely horrible. I have a 6 pack of this, don't know what to do w/ the other 5. Label says 'Session ale brewed w/ spice.' No idea what the spice is in this, but yuck. I'm gonna guess coriander, but I'm not sure. It's supposed to be a belgian "single" - i.e. a smaller beer than a dubbel or tripel. I was pretty disappointed when that beer came out, replacing one lackluster beer (portsmouth lager) with another one, but it's not that bad. Overall I think Smuttynose is a great brewery, I lived in Portsmouth for a few years and I still think of those guys as my hometown beer, especially when the competition is redhook, which pretty much sucks across the board. I think the Shoals Pale Ale, IPA, and Robust Porter are as good as the particular style gets... don't get me started on the Hanami Ale, though, which is the other weak spot in the smuttynose line up and probably one of the worst beers I've ever tried.

anything goes Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I haven't had alot of Smuttynose, a local bar in my neighborhood has this on draft and it's real tasty, 9.6% ABV that's hidden very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ive had two flying dogs and both were :yuck: Horn Dog and Raging Bitch Granted they both had higher than normal abv %, but i just felt they were unnecessarily harsh Well, one is a Barley Wine ale, so it's not like it's going to taste like a standard beer at all. Personally, i fucking hate anything barley wine related, and they give me insane headaches, so i'll agree with you on that shit being garbage. The Raging Bitch certainly isn't that harsh in the big scheme of IPAs, but you can probably just chalk that up to not drinking many overly hoppy beers. As with anything extreme in the beer spectrum (really dark/heavy and really hoppy are the two that come to mind), it takes some getting used to before you can appreciate it. Most people aren't going to enjoy a serious stout or IPA the first time they try it, just because the taste is so foreign and strong. You gotta work your way up to the more potent ones, and then you can really start to taste the different flavors and enjoy them instead of just being overwhelmed by the hops/heaviness.
