Ok! Per request! Let's try this out..post everything and anything beer in here :) Recipes, pics of the beer you tried or the one your crazy Uncle Bob gave you. Memes, dates of limited releases, where to find the hard to find stuff, and fun merchandise. Have-at-it :) hopheads lol

 (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/mug_of_beer.jpg)

Edit! It was recommended to use bottle caps for a rating system. 1 bottle cap being a crappy beer, and 5 bottle caps for an all around awesome beer and you want to go swimming in it. I'm not an expert on qualities (after taste, hops, bite and etc...) so I guess mentioCon which aspect stands out, or makes it suck! I figured I'd keep it simple, since we might be under the influence when rating. (I know I might be :)

So I tried both of these...the Smashed Pumpkin gets my vote, Shipyard has yet to do me wrong :)

Thanks for this thread Denny! :thumbsup:

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/22/u6avaqy6.jpg)

Sam Adams Hazel Brown

It's got a nice hazel nut / toffee flavor. I was really surprised by how good this was.


Edit: 4 CAPS

I actually tried that tonight too! I was surprised by the Hazelnut tones in it! You guys didn't lie it's awesome! :D

I'm hit or miss with Sam Adams...I love Cherry Wheat, Summer, and Porch Rocker, but don't care for Boston Lager, IPA's or the Winter..

I'm serial oust still craving another one of these(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/22/guneguhe.jpg)

It has a banana bread after taste. So good

I need to find that stuff!! Anyone in here ever brewed their own beer?

I haven't but a buddy of mine has. I never told him, but it didn't taste very good. But then again that was back in my underage natty days

I have it was awful. Ya'll need to check out pretty little things... An amazing brewery.

Lol

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-11-24_12-30-11_173.jpg)

I tried this last night! Was pretty good :) it's like S.A Cherry Wheat on steroids lol

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-11-23_15-00-21_272.jpg)

Lol!

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/02/aruqaty7.jpg)

Same As corona.

Edit: 3 Caps

The cherry wheat is one of the only Sam Adams I like. To me it sort of tastes like cherry Chapstick lol

why cant it just be any thing alcyhol?????

(http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/65065_10200208294589497_582326322_n.jpg)


Kraken ftw!

I leave this up to Denny to decide, since it's her thread.  I would suspect that it gets too convoluted if we start posting anything that contains alcohol and I'm only posting beer that I would recommend somebody to try.

Just another thought, good rum deserves better than to be poured into a Solo cup.

Even if it were poured into this?:
(http://img1.etsystatic.com/006/0/7004798/il_570xN.353336889_j462.jpg)

Haha! Red neck wine glass! We sell those at work lol

Chris, you wanna make a booze hound thread? Or an Alcoholics not-so-anonymous thread? Lol

Denny, I think you should come up with a rating system for us to use and modify your original post to list all of the beers that we've talked about.

No Separate booze thread.

Hmmm. Good idea...next time i'm on the laptop i'll do some rearranging ;)

Lol @the alcohol-not-so-anonymous

And Nelson  :( I know.... It sucks cuz I have no sink to wash things in.... And my Das Boot is packed away in a box in the container outside... We slowly started to bring things in yesterday...

So I was thinking to use either bottle caps ex: 4 out of 5 caps... Or frequency of belches... Like a crappy beer could be a little sissy burp, and a really good beer could be a Barney belch from the Simpsons....  What do you guys think?

The bottle caps idea seems better. The belches are too subjective.

I vote for bottle caps.

Holy room. Spinning g bagman

Love these types of thread.  I vote for the bottle cap rating method, but I think we may need to distiguish what categorizes the various ratings (overall taste, after taste, flavor, body, hoppiness, etc.), as it still seems subjective to the drinker's pallette.  I would love to add to this, but getting the unordinary, non-standard, off-the-shelf beers here is costly.  Stupid shipping.  :D

That's what happens when you live in the middle of a big ass ocean.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-05_17-51-05_192.jpg)

You guys were right, this stuff is awesome :) Still trying to figure out the rating system, sorry for the holdup lol

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-05_17-54-51_15.jpg)

Someone left this at our house, I love the label, very amusing! And it's one of those beers that isn't great, but you can't stop drinking it. There's something familiar about the smell and taste, but I can't figure it out!

I like lagunitas.

My first sip was like woah! But I kept reaching for it lol

Yeah. Lagunitas is delicious.

Just heard on the radio that New Hampshire consumes more alcohol than any other state, over the course of a year...*hiccup

Not surprised.

I'd bet anything its based off sales and everyone with a drinking problem from MA and RI go there to buy alcohol. The number is falsely inflated by the low prices. Sorry to burst the bubble...

I'm enjoying a goose island honkers ale. Really good

Never heard of it, i'll keep a look out...off to see a friend's band tonight, i'll check out the beer selection :)

My living room is bigger than this dive, there's hardly any beer..and there's a board on the wall with food, but the bartender tells us there's no food.  (Don't think I'd trust it anyway) this band is too good for this place!

Lol that's like the place I was at last night. It use to be called the slut ranch. Now known as snookers. It was like a people of Walmart convention. It's out in the sticks

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-10_20-10-59_463.jpg)

Drinking this tonight, picked it up at an obscure convenience store in the sticks. I really love Dean's Beans, and this is what is saving this beer for me. I give it a 3 out of 5 bottle caps..

Don't forget to update the OP with your adopted rating system.

How's dat? :) let me know if you think I need to change something :)

This.

I can help you out over the weekend if you like.

Edit: I'm going to to back and add bottle caps to my beers.

Hm...so add to the list as we go? Aw I don't want to put my work off on someone else..i'll get on it! :)

Alright, I added the list :) If any of the cap ratings are disagreeable let me know and I'll change them, I put them in Alphabetical order too :)

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-07_18-33-15_355.jpg)

No rating, just thought the label was funny lol

^ Probably my all time favorite beer.

Arrogant bastard is pretty delicious.

Dam I knew I should have bought it lol

I give arrogant bastard 3.5 caps. Drinking it right now based off of this thread.

Edit: arrogant bastard should not be drunken on an empty stomach.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-11_21-11-39_814.jpg)

This was eh...I can't tell if it seemed watered down to me because i've been drinking so many stouts and porters....there's a slight hint of flower...like herbal tea type.. I give it 2 Caps....but I did finish it :)

I want to down a 12 pack of Natty in 2 hours... just because 2 hours is my cheat allotment haha

Jeez, you looking for a headache?

Nope, lol just want to do it

Give PBR 2 stars. Just cause it tastes like dog shot but I keep on going back to it.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-13_20-22-56_880.jpg)

Some words of wisdom from one of my favorit beers...Magic Hat Number 9....4 caps!

What's dog shot? Lol

Four caps? Magic hat sucks.

Shit not shot. And it's 2 caps not stars. Sorry

Lol it's ok, I knew what you meant in both cases :)

Aw Mike I Love number 9! I'll go down a cap.....maybe lol.

I can always change it for you. It taste like rat piss.

I give magic hat 3 caps.

Ok 3 caps it is...I guess everyone has that one beer that tastes like pee that they love lol

I don't want to know how you know what rat piss tastes like.

Z, loooooves bud light!

Eat shit and die Nelson.

Lol!

it was free. Anyone who doesnt like free beer is insane

Thank you Mike.

See Nelson? FUCK YOU!

I know you bath in it.

So, moving on, I gotta get gift for me Secret Santa at work. It's for an elderly British man. I think I'm going to get him a 40oz old English. Just cause I think it's funny.

get him old speckled hen... Brits usually love that shit

Get him a Budweiser and say "welcome to Merica"

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-15_14-05-03_69.jpg)

Well played Shock Top...wasn't feeling brave enough to try this today, if anyone does let me know how it is!

Looks like I'm going to pick some of that up tonight.

Ugh! Tell me how it is! I was curious...

 (http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-15_15-58-43_224.jpg)

4pm beer? Yeah I know it's early lol I was pleasantly surprised by this, it was really good, I give it 3.5 caps, and I want another one....but i'll wait lol

I just finished one of those. They're tasty.

Nothing like a microbrew! Had a sweet magnolia from Big River tonight with dinner. So good. 3.7 caps.

http://gbarchive.gordonbiersch.com/resources/pdf/BRCH_HP_Beermat0111.pdf

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/149713_422304004509406_514245739_n.jpg)

Yup..

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2012-12-28_18-29-24_744.jpg)

A Christmas gift from our friend Jason :)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/30/2yrunebe.jpg)

.75 caps. Fuckin terrible

What kind is that?

Yuengling.

Somebody doesn't like Pennsylvania beer.  I wouldn't say it's terrible. I give it 2-1/2 caps

Its not that bad Mike maybe u caught a bad bottle

It was from a can. I hate yuengling. It was worse from a can.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/30/2eby7y2y.jpg)

Negra Modelo

3 caps

Yuengling is not that Bad Country. Your taste buds are out of sync.

Lol no I just hate yuengling. I like darker beers. One of my favorite drinks is a black and blue. Guinness and sweet water blue

I love yuengling! 

Country have you tried Yuengling Black and Tan?  That's a pretty good dark one. 
Ive even had an actual Black and Tan with Guinness on top and Yuengling on bottom that was great.

As for the shitty yuengling... it may be because of your location.  I'm about an hour from the brewery and I know wont ship it anywhere that takes more than a day or two.  So to help demand they opened a second brewery in FL (IIRC) and I heard the quality/taste is just not up to par.

Eh, not a huge fan of Black and Tan either. Most of the stouts I drink are chocolate stouts.

Exel have you tried the founders breakfast porter?.

Never heard of it.

I've had a saranak caramel porter before, it was really good

So did quite a bit of drinking over the past week.

Shock Top "End of the World"
2.5 caps.  I thought it would have been more flavorful, but all those spices were a little too subtle.

Shock Top "Lemon Shandy"
3.5 caps.  This was surprisingly good.  A hint of lemon on the onset, then a nice follow through of spices.  Very good!

Shadow's "Wild Blue" (Blueberry flavored)
2.0 caps.  I like the fact that it is 8% by volume.  This particular blend was very sweet, especially the follow through.  Full of flavour, but I had one and that was enough.  Let's just say that it's almost sweet enough to put on you morning pancakes :D

Shadow's "Wild Black" (Blackberry flavored)
3.5 caps.  I really liked this one over the "Wild Blue".  Again, 8% by volume and full of flavor.  The follow through was very favorable, much more "bitter" (due to the blackberry), but still very smoothe and no bite.  I am inclined to try the "Wild Red" (Raspberry flavored) now.

I love Shock Top :) the Raspberry Wheat in particular, I know fruit = girly, I don't care lol They have an IPA I haven't tried yet but that's because i've yet to meet an IPA that I like. Lemon Shandy is very good. Shock Top Pumpkin is good as well.

^^ Yep, definitely a fan of Shock Top as well, Denny.  I think you'll like the "Shadow's" brews as well :thumbsup:

We got a variety pack of Shock top a couple weeks ago (belgian white, summer shandy, wheat ipa and raspberry wheat).  All were good and were enjoyed.

Wild Blue is good if you like fruity beers.  Just be careful with the 8%, my lightweight roomate found out the hard way and stained our sidewalk. :P

Dam, reminds me of college lol The Lion Stout I posted has 13% I believe, I waited until after dinner for that one lol i'll have to find the "shadows" sounds pretty good :) You guys gave me a craving some Shock Top i'll have to pick some up for tonight.

So I was at the bar the other day drinking Blue Moon drafts and this dude kept asking me why I was drinking ladies drinks. 

A slice of orange in a draft beer makes it a ladies drink?! 

Interested in seeing what you guys think...  Not that it will stop me from drinking Blue Moon, I love that beer.   

Does this guy have a double axel truck with a set of silver gonads hanging from it? Lol IMO it's not a girly beer, and just because you have some class and add some citrus garnish/flavor doesn't make it girly either.

Agreed. That's how I got turned on to Blue Moon awhile back. I'll bet that guy's "man drink" comes in a red, white and blue can and has the initials PBR.

The guy is just an idiot and trying to be a tuff guy. I add stuff to the beer I brew and my co worker brews. He is just a guy that thinks he knows beer and he doesn't. People like them insult themselves by trying to be " smart "

Don't talk shit! In the bars and clubs here, pbr is 2 bucks for a 16oz can. I've acquired a taste

$2.50 here in NYC.

Or 78 cents a can if you buy in bulk.

Pbr sucks... sry just does

^ This.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-01-01_21-25-08_587.jpg)

Finally found a 6pack of this, I like it, it's not too strong, don't really taste the chocolate though. I give it 3.5 caps.

I still have to find that stuff.

I'm taking a month off from drinking, starting today.

Found the end of the world beer. I'm going to have to agree with your rating Denny but I actually like the chocolate in it.

So I made a bet with my best friend that I can stop drinking till march 18th, day after st. Patty's day.  It's going to be tough, but I can do it.

The wager is dinner, $300max.

ah! That's why you stopped drinking..You can't drink on St Patty's day? Bum deal... Good Luck Sir :)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/crackerteg/IMG_20130109_201806.jpg)
Just picked this up as I was itching for an IPA lately. Not bad stuff. Pretty good actually. I give it 4 caps.

Id say its because he's Rican but then again everybodys irish on st pattys day.  Lol

St. Pattys day is one of my favorite holidays. It's led to many unforgettable nights and ones I can't remember. On top of that it falls on a Saturday this year.

Wow... what are ya gonna do?  Can you at least start drinkin at midnight? Lol

The 18th is the last day. He said through it.

Sounds painful, perhaps you can request another meeting of the minds and negotiate the terms of your agreement... Midnight on St Patty's day!!!!

Brewed half a gallon of kalhua.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-01-26_19-08-26_748.jpg)

5 caps!

Ooooo! A 5 capper! I'm interested in trying. Just gotta find it.

Damn you drinkers!!

2 more months and I can drink again!!

26 days sober!

Beer aged in rum barrels....mmmm....if you like rum...

Yummy.

There's also one from Whiskey barrels, same company. I didn't try that one though...

Does it taste as bad as it sounds?

I agree these don't sound good to me

The Rum beer was good, probably because I like Rum, I would imagine the Whiskey beer tastes like a rotten ass.. I have no idea. I'm on a one beer a night limit, except for weekends and holidays.. Bummer...lol.

46 more days till I can have that golden goodness again.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/08/damuhavu.jpg)
Saw this on the shelf and decided to give it a go. It's ok. It's as if you were drinking a caramel apple. Picture soaking an apple in beer and then coating it in caramel. This is what that tastes like. It's like a dessert wine but not as frilly. I give it 2.5 caps.

Oh my god! I've never seen that one before, I'll have to find it!

I spotted it today when I went to stock up for the snow. It's a beer that takes some warming up to.

I want a fucking beer already.

^^ LOL.  Perserverance, Nelson.  You can do it! :D

@XYZ- Never seen that Apple Shock Top either.  Imma scope the stores and verify that 2.5 cap rating.  Maybe after 4 or 5 of them, the cap rating increases???  LOL.

I need to update Denny's original post to include all the beers. Maybe some homework for me over the weekend.

Or me ;)

Damnit Mike! Why the extra letters?

I did it for the keiki?? :door:

Indeed, or you. LoL :-D

Updated! I didn't want to leave you my work  ;)  I started an Excel spreadsheet for the list of beers, hopefully it will make it a little easier to update :)

Damn. An excel spreadsheet and errthang. Oh you fancy huh?

Lol  I was thinking maybe a word document would be better after by copy and pasting blunder lol..

 gettin ready to have some brews soon muahahah  O0

I fucking love that list!!! You're freaking awesome Denny!!!

lol Thanks! When you win your bet you should print it and bring it to the store  :thumbsup:

Having a Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat in celebration of my victory today! I really like it, it is very dessert-ish.

That sounds real good.

Bets over. I lost. Time to catch up.

Yay! Welcome back! :D

Welcome back to the fold Nelson. Peer pressure is a bitch ain't it?

You know, I gotta up that previous rating I gave the "dessert" beer from shock top. I'm bumping it up to 3.5. After the shoveling last weekend plus the brutal cold we've been having, it's actually not that bad.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/26/6udeqatu.jpg)Thought you guys might appreciate this.

Had a magic hat again still 3 caps. Lol

(http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q684/bnwht79/93687E82-4314-49D3-A98A-71884FD7BBC3-16320-000002FCFF71C3AA_zps42bb53cb.jpg)

Ill give it 4

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/09/y4e2usu4.jpg)
What can I say? It's blue moon with the orange already in it. 4 caps.

if you like blue moon give heffenwizen I look. I'm damn sure that's spelled wrong...

Which heffeweizen? I'm sure my spelling is wrong too.

Crispin Cider
Good shit
3 caps.

Capt Lawrence IPA
Really Good Shit
4 caps.


Buuuuuurrrrrrrpppppppp!!!

List updated!

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-03-11_21-05-58_390_zpsb1b01401.jpg)

I give it a 3.5, was tempted to give it a 4, but I feel like I'd be cheating on Guinness lol... Brink on the Irish holiday!!!

Is give it four I think its an upgrade.

Ok ok..lol..

Didn't I rate Smithwick's already??

I agree with the 4 caps.

North Country Brewery, Spring Ale. Definite 4 caps. (http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q684/bnwht79/8F1EF69D-B479-4869-8D52-A9B9F89E75BE-10424-000001CBAB845CF8_zps282e9baf.jpg)

Anyone try that new apple able I see advertised?

Oh yeah... saw that commercial I think.. no haven't tried it yet..

"Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer." - Henry Lawson

I've looked for it in the two stores near me but neither had it.  I see commercials for it every day and really wanna try it.   :'(

With all the adds you would think it would be more common. I haven't been able to find it either.

Magner's Irish Cider - 3 Caps

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-03-23_16-35-52_981_zpsdbdd277d.jpg)

Tried them all, did you?

I did... and I took individual pics! I'll put em up tomorrow with ratings :)

So proud of you. Lol.

Sounds like you had a successful beer tasting.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-03-23_15-36-11_396_zpsb7d7a689.jpg)

Finally got the chance to try this, and I really liked it. It tasted like grapefruit to me. I give it a solid 3.5 Caps.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-03-23_15-46-38_385_zpsad48ba4d.jpg)

Oh  beware the chick beer! This was really good, I mean, drink 5 by accident and get smashed good. It's like lemonade but better! 4.5 Caps!!

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-03-23_15-58-46_648_zps5b99fb33.jpg)

The description on the back of the bottle was more entertaining than the beer itself. There was talk of nipples with mouse traps on them, and mouths being wet with banana. The beer belongs in the dirty section at the bookstore, the taste was ok, there was a faint banana, but I don't think it lived up to the hype. 2.5 caps.

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/ouch_zpsce6f44d1.jpg)

This beer is serious business, it will whip your ass!! It tastes like there's whiskey, or some other esophagus burning agent inside. Good for a cold winter's night. I give it 3.5 caps for doing it's job!

(http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab217/HEcreated487/BEER/CE3A18F6-ECBE-400B-8D1D-DEDAB222B9AD-14769-00000B8E3AE3437F.jpg)

Red Horse.  Reppin' the native land!  :thumbsup:  Refreshing, very smooth, slight fruit flavor.  And it's 7% by volume.  Solid 3.5 caps.  Could be 4 though.

Alpine Spring.  Slight citrus flavor.  Nothing very unique or out of the ordinary.  Overall, nice subtle flavors and body.  2.5 caps.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/06/a9upamap.jpg)

Brooklyn Silver Anniversary Lager 1988-2013

5 caps!!

This shit rocks!!!

Can't trust this rating. You have been to anxious to drink. Its like having a bad meal when your starving... At some points anything taste good. Send me a case to verify the rating please....

At $15 a bottle, you gets no case.

You will get a bottle at Z's BBQ though, if it's still available.

That price automatically reduces the rating!

It was worth every penny. Plus i got 2-1/2 pints out of it and it was 9% ABV

I just sampled some Shipyard Melonhead at a local MB. I really like it, it's a chick beer but whatever lol I give it a solid 4 Caps.

Big kahuna

3 caps

Nice summery pilsner.

New Belgium Rolle Bolle

3 caps

Citrus-y tart Ale very similar to an IPA, but not quite as bitter.

Has anybody tried third shift amber lager?

I found the beer equivalent of Ryan (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/03/u3ytugym.jpg)

(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/dieselphle/2013-06-08_15-33-57_58_zps2d3e656e.jpg)

Our normal beer haunt is closed :( so I looked up a new one.. and I found...The Drinkery.. hidden under a music hall one town over in Londonderry, carrying 400 different types of beer, and a huge wine selection. There was also a friendly dog named Obie, as in Obie Wan...I think we'll be visiting this place from now on :)

so. damn. jelly right now. 

^This.

You guys need to visit the Hampster and we'll hit that joint! :D

Yes, we do.

 I have no idea what/where that is. haha. you new englanders are odd.

Does anybody know where I can find a limited edition bottle of Jameson called "the urban escape"?

"The Jameson Great Urban Escapes bottle is now available in key international hubs across Europe, theAmericas, Gulf and Pacific Travel Retail."

First of all, that's a very beautiful well designed bottle  :thumbsup:  and second, the above statement is all I keep finding!!!! ARG! I'm on a mission to find this thing. It's not even on Egay, have you tried calling nearby liquor stores?

I think it's only found at duty Free stores in airports. I saw it in Seattle but they wouldn't sell it to me bc I was flying to Newark.

Enjoying it now.

Lets start with the no bullshit packaging and label:

The box is exactly the same. That drew me in.

Now the flavor. It is what you would expect out of a good lager. Its got a hint of bitterness to it but not overwhelming in any way. On days like today where it was a bit on the warm side, its actually very refreshing. I give it 3.5 caps.

^^ I wanna drink six (6) of those right now.

I'm already down five since that post.

??? Jelly.

No. There's no hint of jelly in this brew.

has anyone tried this?
best beer in the country. a bit hit in the restof Asia too.

Got a case of Long Trail Ale this week.  Def my favorite of the Long Trail lineup.  The sampler is good to if you guys see it.


Funny story about Long Trail, my dads friend moved up to Vermont a years ago (where the Long Trail brewery is).  They toured the brewery and asked the guys of they could buy a keg and take it with them.  The guys at the brewery got confused cause no one had ever asked them before (it was still a pretty new beer at this point).  So apparently my dad and his friend were the first people to take a keg of Long Trail beer out of the state of Vermont. :D

Time for a thread revival.

Spotted this brew today and decided to give it a try as I'm a huge fan of IPA's and I like to think I'm a rebel when I'm really not.

That said, it's a weak IPA. It doesn't have that hoppy punch IPA's are known for. Hell, Boston lager has more of that punch than this. It isn't a bad brew but it's a disappointing IPA. 2.5 caps is my rating.

A weak non hoppy IPA? Rob might actually like it...

I quit drinking two months ago.  I want a beer now....brb

City Steam The Naughty Nurse fixes what ales you. Give it about a 3 caps

Made a trip to our favorite beer cellar and got a random 6 pack. I liked this beer, slightly hoppy with a light aftertaste. I give it 3.5 caps. Trying a Schofferhofer grapefruit as I type. .. Review soon ;)

Holy frackus, this beer makes any other shitty beer taste like ambrosia. If you like sour things that contort your face than by all means, sign up for the torture. Is there a 0 caps? ROFL

Sour ale just sounds gross. 

Had some Allagash Cro.... Something yesterday. It's made in aged whiskey oak barrels. Good stuff. 4 caps.

I've been on a corona binge lately.

Corona is a good summer beer

Yes it is :) hmm. Maybe I'll pick some up this weekend. There was a grapefruit beer there to sample when we went, it was very good. :)

I had an opa watermelon beer you might want to avoid that one. It gets 0 caps would be -1 if it wasn't cold and I wasn't very thirsty.

I tried a four loko for the first time this weekend.  Absolutely the most disgusting thing I've ever drank.  I took a few sips and poured the rest down the drain. 

Its changed a lot since it was in the news a couple years ago. It was probably more awful then!

Holy resurrection time Batman! What else are we going to do with 6 foot snow banks and -8 wind chill? BEER! Now I've had Peak Organic Apricot and it was exquisite.  Winter session is OK, a little hoppy. It tastes better the more I drink it. I will not seek it out going forward. I give it 3 caps.

actually got to meet the owner of Great Divide Brewing Co. who was a former Accord owner:

Right on! I'm not a big fan of IPA's, but that farmhouse ale Looks good! :) I'll be at the local BBC tonight and I'll try something new and post it. How many caps would you give those? ^

Uncle Lumpy's Vanilla Porter is what I tried tonight. It was pretty smooth, I love coffee/vanilla porters. I give it 4 caps!!!!

i believe 5 Caps is max? i would give the Great Divide Collete a 4 because it lives up to its label

"COLETTE is our homage to the saisons that Belgian farm workers have enjoyed for centuries. Brewed with barley, wheat and rice and fermented at high temperatures with a special blend of four different yeast strains, COLETTE is fruity and slightly tart, with a dry finish that makes it that rarest of treats — a beer as refreshing as it is complex."


Titan IPA a 2 1/2 max which was disappointing since i am a fan of Pale Ales
