Beers you miss

I miss those so much. Not so much for the historic aspect, but the interesting combinations of ingredients. I really liked the Birra Etrusca. Believe it or not, my local Whole Foods still has bottles of Etrusca that it's trying to sell.

The ancient ale series is what got me into homebrewing.

 

I'm an old timer (64) who misses not only some old beers no longer around, but also miss the "old man" bars and taverns that are gone or going to the point of near extinction.

Growing up in NJ, one of my favorite old haunts was a place called Big Stash's located in Linden. No blasting loud music, just a great bar, really good European and American staples, and Pabst, Andecker, Falstaff (occasionaly), and a few German beers on tap.

Of the lot, I miss Falstaff. Not a particularly excellent beer, but substantial and good with damn near anything you were eating at the time. Andecker was a close second. Though more expensive and of better ingredients, I found Andecker - produced by Pabst, by the way - to be somewhat inconsistent in body and flavor.

Just curios if anyone out there reading this has ever been to Big Stash's.

 

Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner and Noble Pilsner
Alpine Exponential Hoppiness
Firestone Walker Double Jack

 

Lagunitas - WTF (Wilco, Tango, Foxtrot) recovery ale. This was kind of a hoppy brown ale.

On the brown ale note - Sierra Nevada Tumbler. Tasted like fall.

 

Westy 12.

For about a year my brother in law was a pilot who had regular flights to Belgium and had time to be a mule for me.

I should have drank more when I had the chance.

 

I'll add Rheingold. The beer was dry and crisp, more flavor and nuance than your Buds and Millers.

 

Victory moonglow
The original version of SN otra vez

Nothing will compare to bamburana when that disappears though.

 

Rayon Vert

 

Mic drop. Whoever decided to change that recipe should be fired.

 

Bear Republic's Cafe Racer 15

Not close to the same name, I could see a bitch if a place in Miami was involved. But Wy has a lot of moose’s, wrong to pluralize that? Lol.

 

Cedar Creek's "Dankosaurus" IPA

A Pearl Longneck

 

The Big Stash! Same here in Texas. Different beers. I should be grateful for what I have close by.

 

North Coast Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale...web site says it is still produced, but for some reason it has disappeared from my area

 

I’d even go ahead and say their V 1.1 IPA recipe is completely mediocre compared to the classic. They screwed up by overcomplicating those two recipies.

And screwed up by nixing the RIS, Old Guardian, I mean...the list goes on.

 

Stone Go2IPA...whatever happened to this low cal version that had almost all of the hop intensity of the original?

 

Deschutes yes please thank you

Timothy Taylor Landlord & Hog's Back T.E.A. also

 

I'm wondering when someone will finally mention a Stone beer.

 

DFH Chicory Stout
SA Latitude 48 IPA
Green Flash West Coast IPA (my gateway into craft beer and now I can't get any GF)
