What beer are you drinking now? #1507

I'm drooling!

 

Lagunitas: Brown Shugga

 

Welcome to BA! How's the beer scene up in BC? If it matches the scenery, not a bad place to be! Cheers!

 

been a while since i had this bad boy. the aroma on this thing is fantastic, but it's too boozy to make it into the top tier of triple ipas for me. glad to revisit though. cheers yall

 

Thanks!

I think it's a pretty good scene on Vancouver Island (and on the mainland for that matter!). There are about 4 or 5 good breweries that I've found within a 45 minutes walk of my place - which is just way too convenience. And for a municipal area of 400 000 or so people, already a great ratio. And I know there's a few places I haven't been to or seen yet.

My personal favorite, so far, is Driftwood Brewery - their Fat Tug IPA is amazing - and the New Growth Pale Ale is just as good - but with a lower ABV. So sessionable... I guess? My wife and I just moved west to the Island, so its still an exploration for us - which is awesome.

 

beautiful! =)

 

My family too! we have the pianah, guitars, mandolin, saxophone, coronet, bells, and even the accordion. Everybody sings!

 

New Belgium - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ale

Not a fan. Taste very artificial.





Cheers

 

Having a couple IPA's tonight.

#1. Mankato Mad Butcher IPA




This beer is just worthy. Such rich notes of grapefruit, tangerine, and tons of pith on the finish. It's so juicy...it's like an aspirant of Todd the Axeman. Nice work, Mankato.


#2. Commodore Perry by Great Lakes



This one was much less impressive. It's fresh, but not particularly flavorful. Just basically the equivilant of chewing on a grapefruit rind. Not a favorite of mine, and probably won't be revisiting again.

 

I decided I couldn't wait any longer to crack this one, and holy cow is it amazing. Better than I expected, actually. I always expect these spiced imperial stouts to be too sweet, too strong, and overspiced, but the spices are subtle and the coffee and bitter chocolate is extremely well done. And, at 13% abv, it drinks very easily without being cloying or boozy. 10/10, would buy again.

 

also first time in a while for this one. i'd take this over simtra any day, way better put together. not my favorite but clean, hoppy, and dank.

 

Because you're an Assassin!

 

I had a lot of people tell me they loved Snake Party. I didn't like it at all. As I recall, it was too piney for my taste. I'll have to try it on tap if they make it again.
