The Beer Thread

Since Oktoberfest is actually in September, I guess Pumpkin is in for October.

Interesting selection, especially the one with a cork. Let us know how they taste.

Enjoy, and safe travels to you.

 

Will do, just have to wait until Thursday unfortunately.

 

New to me Pilsner.
Sorry for the bad pour - ice in the glass.

From the other day at Fremont Brewing in Seattle, a Gose Sour.

Oh, and those beers I posted the other day, only had one.

Trying a pumpkin... not really my thing, I guess. But it's still very much drinkable.

The Sour, is it like they say?

"It tasted like it had been squeegeed off the back of a German day laborer toiling in a coriander processing plant."

People are so ridiculous. Craft beer is just that, CRAFT BEER. There is no set standards, other than the anal purists that like to poop on everyone's parade about everything in life.

I enjoyed the sours I had.

 

Yeah, the hilarity of craft beer snobs.

Good day

Local and surprisingly good.
Lately I've been calling Craft Beer "Crap Beer". It's like no one tries, beer is so popular they just make **** and it gets consumed. But this was actually good.

Sadly, Karbach was swallowed up by Budweiser.

 

I meant to post something here awhile back.. just stumbled (ha) back in..

I've got a Stone Delicious IPA going at the moment that is okay.. but the best IPA I have had recently was actually home brewed by a friend. Wholey crisp/fresh!!!

As of late- I have had a taste for stouts. Topping that list is Coffee Milk Stout, also by stone but most notable is a bit of a limited run by Resurgence, a Sponge Candy Stout. NOW- Resurgence is local to me (Buffalo) and I think Sponge Candy is as well, so good luck trying to find it elsewhere- But FWIW, it is incredible.

 

you have too travel along way to get one of these, but it's worth it imo,,

I agree, lots of creative labeling.

Curious though, I see many that come in cans. Back in my day, canned beer was the last thing you bought if looking for taste. Granted, a keg is really just a big can (think on-tap).

So, how's canned beer nowadays?

 

I prefer canned over bottled - of course fresh tapped draft is best

Another local surprise:

This was a nice surprise. I would expect a "blonde" to be summery, but this one from Leffe has a hint of spice that's just right for the Thanksgiving and Holiday Season. Clean and smooth too.

Another successful Black Friday in the books.

Goose Island?

 

Yes sir.

 

Which one? I like Goose Island.

 

I grabbed six of the Bourbon County Stout and two of the Barleywine. Do these make it that far south? It's a Black Friday tradition for me and apparently the rest of the Chicago area folk.

 

We are finishing a remodel and put a Kegerator in our kitchen. We tapped a keg of Copperpoint Witness for Thanksgiving. It's a Belgian Wit. Awesome beer and we are loving having the tap right there.

 

I'm not sure about those particular styles, but Goose Island is in fact down here and it seems to be fairly popular.
