Late Night Beer Advocate - Wednesday

enjoying a torpedo from the can

go cardinals

 

First, a New Belgium Shift Pale Lager(good stuff), now I'm finishing a Sierra Nevada Ovila Dubbel that comes in C&C 375ml 4 packs. It's better than I remember from last year in a 750ml.

 

Stone collaboration TBA and Sculpin IPA--Yummy!

 

Southern Tiers Pumking and it is still tasting good.

 

Might have to try that Dubbel. Enjoyed it on tap last year when I tried it, though not enough to have then invested in a bombers worth. But in regular 12 oz'er I might have to give it a try, especially if offered as a single somewhere.

Almost bought the Shift Lager today, saw it available as a single, but passed. Want to try it for the nelson sauvin hops but also a little disinterested since I don't care for lagers. I am sure I will eventually try it though.





Started my night with an Oskar Blues G'Knight and while it started off great, aroma was wonderful, it ended being a dud. Thinking I had a old batch, couldn't figure out how to read the date code, but it was kinda gummy in flavor, a lot of alcohol showing itself, and quite chewy in texture. Didn't finish the can



Now, finishing up a Green Flash Hop Head Red IPA. Enjoyable brew but nothing remarkable.

 

Split my first ever zombie dust earlier with my gf, now I'm having my first ever bells beer, java stout, and watching the ball game, that new park in Miami looks beautiful.

 

New Glarus Cherry Stout straight from the mail today. Thanks atone315, this is tasty stuff!

 

KBS, Tres Blueberry Stout & SNPA.

 

Finally got my hands on some Central Waters Illumination. It's as good as I remember.

 

Having my first Torpedo. It's so widely available I've been passing it by. Wish I wouldn't have been....it's awesome.



not my picture

 

For me, the night is devoted to Alesmith Speedway Stout. It reminds me of that scene from the Simpsons where Barney Gumble wins a lifetime supply of Duff beer and he yells out ``Just hook it to my vein!''

 

So far, a couple of Hoptimums and a Duck-Rabbit Rabid Duck.

 

Tried a brew local from my home town. Expected one thing got another.. decent I guess.. meh.

 

Stoudts Pilsner, world class.

 

Had a Resin earlier...might have my last FBS that is in my fridge.

 

Hofbrau Maibock for me. Unfortunately, it's a little skunked. I can only blame myself for taking the gamble, though.

 

got a victory at sea in my hand. soo tasty. dont know what ill drink next. finally got my cellar all put together today. was gunna brew up a stout but got kinda lazy

 

On my second and last mug of Narragansett Bock. This is such a tasty lager.

 

It's a Double Trouble kinda night.
