What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #109

I had that and Dirty Bastard back to back a few months ago and I must say I didn't dig Old Chub very much. The Chub is a little more to style but it was just to cloying sweet for me, especially compared to the DB.

 

More Captain Lawrence.

 

Having the last bottle from a sixer of Bear Republic Racer 5.

 

Preference went to 2011. The 2012 coffee presence was obviously stronger, but it was dominate and at times the combination of huge black coffee coupled with bitterness made it slightly astringent. In the 2011 the coffee mellowed out, allowing some other great stout flavors like chocolate, dark fruits, etc to comes out. Def prefered the 2011 vintage.

 

Time to play a lil 'Super Freak' with this funky fella

 

First RR wild ale..... Pretty damn delicious!

 

Having Bell's Smitten gloder Rye Ale tonight nice change from the hoppy IPA's and DIPA's Ive been drinking latley.

 

Fishing for your beer? That's hard livin', man. (!!!!)

 

Wife and I are enjoying a bottle of Big Hugs by Half Acre Brewery.

 

Nugget Nectar. The best seasonal EVER.

 

(You know what they say, "A family that drinks together....STAYS TOGETHER!")

 

I was introduced to Scotty Karate a few weeks ago and my feelings haven't changed. Best Scotch Ale made in the US. And shows you don't need a barrel to be complex and otherworldly (yes, I look at you Backwoods Bastard)

 

These were from last night:





This is right now

 

Ahoy!

 

Uh oh, better go blow up your shorts.

 

I still have a Batch 001X2 sitting in my cellar. It calls out my name every once in a while but so far, I've been able to ignore it.

 

My first ever Everett. Gushed out of the bottle and was worried it would be infected. It's not and its delicious. The best porter out of a bottle.

NN #2. Apparently this is the last one is my fridge for some reason....I did see a Hopslam in there so I think I'll grab that next. T minus 45min to zero hour.
