What beer are you drinking now? #524

Ending the night with a Winterbraun - Lost Coast Brewery. Perfect desert beer after a hopbomb (Ruinten).

 

Went into the basement for a Backwoods Bastard but came out with a Curmudgeon. Bottled 01/18/13

 

Impressive:

 

Well, I need to go all in on this MSU battle. Michigan beer and song. Who is going to take that long shot gamble BA? Cheers!

 

I had Hop Rod Rye in mind when I bought it. It definitely has more of a rye note to it. It was good, I was just expecting something else I suppose.

 

might just be the best enjoy by yet..

just like the last one.

 

One of my favorites:

 

Enjoy by 4/20/14

 

Friday night! Revisit review night as usual. Most of these I havent had in 3 years!

One of the best examples of oatmeal stout out there. So great. Big dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, dark bread, toast, oats, caramel, light coffee, light herbal, and roasted earthiness. Great complexity and very robust with an impressive mouthfeel as well.


Great DIPA! BB date = its fresh. Big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, peach, pineapple, orange peel, floral, grass, citrus rind, caramel, bread, pine, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of malt sweetness but it doesnt trump the hops, quite crisp too. Very delicious stuff.


I usually skip buying this because no bottle dating, but the store I went to in Lansing last weekend puts a stock date on their price tags(Oades Party store). Great DIPA. Big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, citrus rind, floral, grass, pine, rye, caramel, toast, and floral/grassy earthiness. Tons of citrus/earthy hops with a good amount of rye/caramel malt sweetness that just almost balances. Really damn delicious.


Thought I'd never see this one again. First review was an obvious old bottle. This is awesome. Not Vitus status, but it's getting up there. Big banana, orange peel, pear, apple, bubblegum, wheat, bread, light honey, light clove, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Awesome malt/yeast balance and very robust. So smooth.


Worst head retention ever, but the taste makes up for it. Awesome complexity of tart raspberry and fruity/funky yeast with balanced red wine barrel notes and musty leather/clove earthiness. Yum


Cheers!

 

Debated on cracking one of these open...glad I did.

 

Pouring out a victory dirtwolf and a freaken 5.3 earthquake hits ! Cheers -

Dang the dodger game was stopped for a bit

 

Put on the hardhats...

 

Here's my earthquake brew



Ahahha look at the label on this it's all dumb

 

Not happy with how these late games went... Coop Ale Works F5 IPA to drown my sorrows...

 

didn't evacuate my house during the earthquake. i'm a thrill seeker

 

I haven't been super impressed with Foolproof, but will give this a try. Raincloud was a good effort too - nice to have an up and coming local. They are twenty minutes from my house.

 

Enjoying some more Lagunitas Sucks love this beer

 

Perennial Sump. Big, big coffee, brown-sugary sweetness, vanilla and some spice at the end. I'm sure the BA version is more spectacular, but this is very, very nice!

 

One more, no shit...

 

Had a nice little 5.3 magnitude earthquake not that long ago. Didn't scare me:
