What beer are you drinking now? #103

Kegging my Stone IPA clone and decided to crack this which is from 2009. Wow!! This is amazing now!!

 

Random question, have you ever made Graf, and if so, did you send a couple bottles to the dudes that do brewing tv?

 

Nothing yet because I am working.
But I am putting this in the fridge for tonight.

Thanks to Saturn1, a great BA.

 

New(er) seasonal from Great Divide. Very tasty.
One of the many benefits of having lunch on a day when working from home.

 

Not bad.

Kind of a different. Recycling comes every friday, so this is a pic the beers i've had at home by myself in the past week before i put them out for pick up. i don't cellar or store beers, so I drink them as I get them.

That is a beautiful thing - great picture.

 

Have a very good friend in Iowa who just gave me the same weather report and it made ME feel cold - eighteen below! Stay safe!

 

Looked at the Facebook for a bottle shop about 25 mins away that I had never been to because I know they price gouge on bottles pretty hard, but I noticed they had Hopslam on tap. Never had truly fresh Slam, let alone on tap. It was glorious. Had it side by side with my favorite beer, Flower Power. Either their FP was old/bad (likely) or HopSlam made FP taste like cheap vodka (doubtful).

Anyway, I grabbed 3 bottles of HopSlam and two bottles of Nugget Nectar, each bottled one week ago. Pretty psyched, considering Nugget Nectar isn't even officially released in this area yet, and I've yet to find a sixer or case of HopSlam. Also grabbed a bottle of Green Flash Palette Wrecker. Paid too much, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy.

 

Just had this last night. One can wasn't enough. Damn good!

 

From the city of Wind

 

Terrapin W 'n B Stout.

 

For nice and refreshing, go with a koelsch.

I wish the beer was half as good as the food.

 

Hopslam

Have you tried the Sam Adams Double Agent IPL? If you like hops the IPL blows Whitewater and Latitude out of the water (IMO). 'Not sure what the availability is on this beer, I haven't really seen it around, though.​

No wonder it sounded familiar, it's in the spring pack that's out now. I really wanted to try the Irish Red and MP Porter. I already had Alpine Spring on draft, and I had little interest in White Lantern. So your DA IPL recommendation, plus the fact that Giant Eagle didn't have anything else really enticing, lead me to buying the 12 pack.

My nose is confused. My palette and brain are confused. I'm pretty sure I like this, but I wouldn't buy it again. I wish I could give a better explanation/review, but I'm having a hard time explaining this. It kind of smells and tastes...muddy? I don't know. I just don't think IPL is a style that was meant to be. This definitely wasn't nearly as good as Whitewater. I don't hold any ill will, though, my PA brother, I wanted Irish Red and MP Porter anyway.

 

Starting with this one while the wife's out getting inked. When she gets home we'll share some New Holland Dragon's Milk. Gotta say it feels a little odd drinking a wheat beer in the middle of winter. But delicious nonetheless.

 

So good...
