What beer are you drinking now? #58

I don't do much beer shopping in NJ, I wish I could point you in a direction as to where to get it. It's a NJ BA Call to Arms, does anyone know where you can find Krampus?

 

Will be in Asheville NC tomorrow night. Anybody going out?? Any suggestions?? Thirsty Monk is top of my lists.

 

Over the years my focus was on darker beers with a malt profile; shying away from hoppy beers. Heady Topper was a turning point for me but I've been reticent to dive deep into IPA's. Tonight I decided to pick up Racer 5 and give it a spin. I like this one and will try and find other IPA's that have minimal bitterness on the finish which is typically a turn off for me.

 

Starting the night off with this !!!

 

Highland Thunderstruck Coffee Porter from Asheville is pretty much IMO the best pure coffee beer out there. Tastes like drinking cold black coffee.

 

I feel bad, if I had another one I'd send it to you. The only reason I had that one is because a good friend of mine was able to acquire a case of it, thank goodness we, here in PA, have access to some pretty darn good stuff. I was lazy and didn't pursue it and now wishing I did.

 

Sharing a Batch 2011 Parabola with The Mrs ..It's drinking phenomenal ..



Cheers !

 

What really intrigues me about this beer is all the "16's" - 16 Hops, 16 Malts, 16% ABV...

 

Living in muscatine I work in Illinois on school breaks,so I went to Hyvee today and got myself some flying dog(which is not distributed in Iowa). Having some Gonzo tonight....so tasty!

 

Just opened my last Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Imperial Red. This one was my favorite of the four.

 

On my second Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro bottle. Fantastic.

 

Currently drinking a bottle of Victory Headwaters Pale Ale. The other day I was struck by a craving for a light, bubbly American Pale with strong, grassy, citrusy hop character—Maine Peeper immediately came to mind.

This is definitely doing the trick. Review to follow . . .

 

I think that makes you a Knight!

 

My first Narwhal.

Its awsome, unique, and hella good.
Cheers!

 

Now i'm out of delicious fruit beers.

 

Perennial Peach Berliner Weisse


Pipeworks Galaxy Unicorn

 

They already did and they come in a barrel.

 

Well you're in luck, because hoppy-but-not-bitter (D)IPAs are all the damn rage these days. And I love 'em as much as anyone, though I enjoy the bitterness of (D)IPAs, too. My recommendation would be Maine Beer Co.'s Lunch IPA.

 

Sam Adams - Latitude 48 from the fall seasonal pack. The hops are fading from a fresh bright floral bitterness, to a duller more over-steeped tea kind of bitterness.
