New Beer Sunday (week 375)

it is an amazing day in Central NC today. low 70s, mostly cloudy with sun coming out later. Im going to go brew a hefe with some friends, and bringing along a growler of a local brewery's (Triangle Brewing Co in Durham, NC) Belgian Lambic.

But before I leave, i had a hankering for something new. I opened a bottle of One Oatmeal Stout Ale from Dark Horse. I really like it, and I think its my favorite Oatmeal Stout.

While the blue skies in West Michigan have me thinking "crisp, refreshing lawn mower beer," the ongoing rounds of Vicodin tell me "sit on the sidelines this week."

I'll live vicariously through your experiences, but hope to be back with a new MI brew next Sunday.

Happy NBS to all...​

Clear, sunny skies here on Long Island with temps in the upper 50's. I did some landscaping work and repaired the pool deck while it's cool and comfortable outside. I have to be at work extra early tomorrow so I'll be going to bed extra early which in turn has made me start enjoying a few beers extra early. I'm just sitting down to watch a little NHL action and I'm enjoying this beer...​

New American IPA Sundae

Greetings fellow NBSers! A cloudy morning is starting to break up and we might get some sun here in the Fourth Corner this afternoon. I poured for Anacortes Brewing yesterday at a local beerfest here in Bellingham. About 30 breweries had various offerings and my favorite was the Oatmeal Stout/bacon brownie from Boundary Bay. Beer-wise I liked the cask ESB with cherry Jolly Rancher from North Sound, as well as their cask ESB with pumpkin pie spice. Boundary Bay poured a tasty Ginger Peach Ale that I liked. Some other favorites were poured by Foggy Noggin and, of course, Anacortes, where we had the Broadsword Scotch and Tulip fest Brown. With over 1,100 GA tickets, and all VIP tickets sold out in advance, a great time was had by all and some money was raised for the Max Higbee Center, who provides recreational opportunities for developmentally disabled teens and adults.

My first new beer for today comes courtesy of BA DaftCaskBC, thanks IAN! A very nice IPA that's probably setting up a trade for, if your so inclined: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2385/79399 . Happy NBS everyone, I might be back with another a bit later on, Cheers!

 

A gorgeous day in southeast NY... and I finally tried my first "Ten Fidy"... wow, this is dangerous stuff.. I followed it with a Backwoods Bastard, and washed that down with some Helles... and now back to the the "Ten Fidy".... my old lady should be thrilled when she gets home later................

 

Got some notes on those brews? How did you like them? Tell us what you think of them. 10-50 is a great beer, let us NBSers know what you think of it!

 

New Sour/Fruit Beer Sundae

The owner of one of my locals recently had the opportunity to check out his first NASCAR race in person and wasn't sure he would go. I encouraged him to go, and watched the recent race at Ft. Worth from the Mayors box. He now has a whole new appreciation for the sport and says he'll no longer give me crap for watching the races at his bar. As a thank you he bought one of these nice little sours from Cascade: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2391/76759 .

 

New American Stout Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Fort Collins Chocolate Stout

Average at best.

 

Just minding my own business, studying for finals, when all of a sudden...THIS. What is going on in my glass?! It's a coffee beer, but it it's an IPA, too. To Øl Sleep Over Coffee IIPA is INSANITY!



The coffee presence is definitely not like a stout, making it even more unique. It blends with the hops pretty well, actually. Cheers!

 

Drank two of these bad boys earlier today. And a Nugget Nectar. Still plan on opening the Stone Smoked Porter for dinner. <3

 

That looks awesome. A coffee flavored beer does not have to be a stout or porter as Furthermore Oscura proves.

 

Berliner Weissbeir

Reviewed what is probably the classic, most readily available beer of the style. It is quite good and hard to believe Germans drink, or use to drink something like this.

New Belgian Strong Pale Ale Sunday

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/36/114/?ba=EgadBananas

Bottle was a few years old, which may have helped, but this turned out to be much more enjoyable than I had expected!

 

I'm enjoying my very first Dirty Bastard. What took me so long?

 

New APA Sunday

The new seasonal from Odell and its a definite winner. As bummed as I am that Red is off the shelves (or will be once the stores sell out) this hitting the shelves does soften the blow. Really enjoying this APA, far more than their 5 Barrel. Once again Odell shows why they remain one of my favorite breweries.

 

American IPA

A second beer that fooled me. But a slick label and affordable price suckered me in. If I knew who the brewery was, I never would of bought it, but it turned out to be a decent brew.

Cloudy and rainy day here in South Florida. New beer for me today is Thomas Creek Red Falls Red Ale. I really enjoyed this brew. Clean light bodied ale with honey and caramel malts. Delicious!

2011 Parabola

One of the best barrel aged beers I've had. So complex and all the flavors well integrated.

Stone IRS. My first go at this brew.

Wow. Just...wow. Perfect mix of coffee and dark fruit and chocolate. God, that chocolate comes in at the end and just ties everything together so nicely. It's deeply and darkly roasted, but there's just this combination of slight creaminess and carbonation that makes it taste refreshing and crisp and just fantastic. I'm in love.
