What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4127

Stopped with that one. This is the premium one. Vizir. Seems a Slovenian American style IPA
You can tell by the foam and the 6% abv, this one will be better

But at the end all is still about taste.
More body, more creamy mouthfeel, taste, I am not quite sure yet, but surely better than the previous one.
Have to decide if I will buy again. But this is not a regular Neipa nor a crisp IPA, this is something else. For sure it is not bad and better than the Steam IPA.

 

Great Divide (Laws) Barrel Aged Yeti impy stout

 

Ringwood Best Bitter

 

Founder's 4 Giants

 

1) Phase Three P3 Czech Dark (5.3%): A Czech Dark Lager from Minnesota with flavors of rich cocoa, coffee roast, mild bitterness. Slightly sweet.
versus
2) Sprecher Black Bavarian (6.0%): A Schwarzbier from Wisconsin with flavors of bitterswete cocoa, earthy malts, mild roast.

Winner:
2) Sprecher Black Bavarian: Czech Dark vs Schwarzbier Battle. First is Phase Three Czech Dark. It's dark and roasty. A little sweeter than for the style after trying this a few times. It's really good though. Next is Sprecher's Schwarzbier. It's similar, but slihgtly more earthy, bittersweet flavors. Not as roasty. Drinks extremely clean and I keep coming back to this because it's excellent.
Sprecher with the slight win here.

 

Pilsner Urquell on an early day for me.

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I have to agree.

 

1) Phase Three DDH Perpetual Sounds (7.7% canned 1/19/24): A DDH NEIPA from Chicago with Mosaic and Amarillo for flavors of fruity blueberry tea, peachy grapefruit.
versus
2) Hop Butcher Treez Freez (8.0% canned 1/3/24): A NEIPA from Chicago with Citra, Pacific Sunrise, and Mosaic for flavors of orange citrus, berries, and sweet grape. Hints of pine. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Winner:
2 Hop Butcher Treez Freez: First up is a fresh one from Phase Three Perpetual Sounds. Mosaic and Amarillo. Tropical with a bit of grapefruit and pine. Extremely good.
Next is Hop Butcher Treez Freez. Nice Citra and Pacific Sunrise to balance the Mosaic. Very tropical and smooth. Both are fantastic IPAs, but preferring the smoothness of Hop Butcher on this one.

 

Wondrous - Janets Brown Ale
Back of the bus beer. If you look near the bottom you can see someone enjoyed a Leffe (?) earlier as well.

 

It's been 4 months without King Sue on the shelves around here. Not sure why because we've had plenty of their other beers coming in. I swear, I almost cried when I saw them today.

King Sue ~ Toppling Goliath


And to top it off...packaged just 5 days ago!

Beautiful World ~ DEVO

 

Wow, that is some amazingly fresh Sue. Enjoy!

 

La Chouffe Blonde to keep it rolling.



@defunksta posting Hop Butcher picked my next track while I sip on this one.

 

Man,what a day. I was straight out all day, didn't even have a chance to eat lunch. Having this Stone IPA which will probably go straight to the dome.

 

Smoked Helles, a lager from Dovetail (who have the most controversial thread in the Great Lakes forum for 2 years running). VERY light smokiness here; quite a pleasant brew.

 

Glad and sort of surprised you found that beer. Wonderstuff has always been one of my go-to Czech Pils from The Cities. Not widely distributed though. Like you said, simple, but very good. I like that one.
Whatever you're doing with that that food sounds amazing.
