The Beer Thread

Bloody hell. This will be the last post I make tonight. This stuff has compromised my gray matter.


Birra Moretti. I have yet to sample a brew from this Italian brewery that was not awesome.

Iltaian beer!!!

La Rossa tonight.

 

We have one down south brewed by Lazy Magnolia called Southern Pecan. And, yes, its brewed with pecans. Its an interesting break from the norm!

i've had a couple different pecan ales. i find them a little dryer than a nut brown ale.

 

Many beers to choose, but my favorite beer is Pilsner Urquell, although its difficult to find on tap.

 

I've never seen it on tap. Good beer though.

I'm drinking Peroni tonight. Strange how the Italian brews have my fancy.

 

Tried some Peroni tonight. Not really doing it for me.

 

It used to be one of my favorites. Now i've spoilt myself. I can't even look at stella, pilsner urquell or any of the other mainstream "premium" imports

 

11.5 cases of beer in just the front seat of a Mini Cooper!

 

Good God!

Having a party?

 

I LOVE HopSlam. Its just so damn good

 

The Hopslam is nice, they brew it right in Kalamazoo so it's availible at any small party store here. $20 a 6 pack is rather steep though.

 

Yea. My friend got a case of it at a local distributor. It was the last one left and he sold me 3 of the 6's out of it. I also love Nugget Nectar. I killed a bomber of it last night at a friends house

 

Why on earth is it $20/6pack? It better be the best beer I've ever tasted.

Maybe they'll start shipping to Texas, I'd love to try some.

 

AB bought the distribution rights, or something along that line so around the country Bells is much easier to come across from the former years. They also brew the big seller (Oberon) year-round instead of the Spring release they always did. Hopslam ABV reaches the light wine level, combined with the limited release and cult-like following means they can get away with the $16.29 (lowest I've seen) the local supermarket charges.

You have a excel spreadsheet of all the beers you've tried?

You should have 6 left.

 

Yea. I miscounted


I started the spreadsheet last night. I only have 3 on it so far. Just a few basic notes so i can remember the beer. There are a few beers that i've had a while ago that i didn't like but when people ask me why i can't remember why i didn't like them

 

That's dedication.

I have a hard time remembering off hand what I've tried. I have to see the label.

 

lol. Have you had a hopslam yet?

 

No not yet. I'm waiting for a good moment. Preferably when my roommate is gone for a day or two and all my friends are busy.

Enjoy it in solitude. That way I can throw something on the grill and have a nice beer with it. Not to mention so I don't get the can I have a sip. Stingy I know. It's eating at me everytime I open the fridge, but I want to enjoy them and not just drink them because I had a "long day".lol

 

If you like Hopslam, try this:

I have 4 bottles of it ageing (sp?) In my closet

 

No 'e'.

 

You need to drink it now. I had one of the ones from my closet last night and its not as good as it was 2 weeks ago. Drink them this week otherwise you're gonna be let down. I hope they aren't ruined yet. Mine was pretty bad

Cracked open a bottle a few days ago. Didn't like it. Ended up pouring it down the drain
