New Beer Sunday (week 377)

American Pale Lager

Starting off this Sunday on the lighter side before I hit a big beer later. My first new beer of the day is New Belgium's Shift Pale Lager. I enjoyed it. Hope everyone has a nice day.

***New American Blonde Ale!!!

G'day Matt and to the rest of the NBS-ites!

Absolutely gorgeous day here in Casper with plenty of sunshine and now 64F heading towards 74.

New beer review is here:

It tastes more like a good Pils, like I said in my review, but whatever. I liked it.

 

Good day BA's.

Got work in a few, but I got a Alesmith Speedway Stout for tonight. Cant wait to try this one.

Havin a Nugget Nectar now. One wont hurt.

Cheers!

 

New Pale Ale Sundae
Greetings and Happy Mothers day fellow NBSers! A beautiful, warm, sunny day here in the Fourth Corner, temps are supposed to be a bit over 70 and a few early clouds have left the area. I'm starting my NBS a bit early as one of my locals, Boundary Bay Brewery, opened early brunch. Since the Mariners were playing an early game against the hated Evil Empire, I figured I'd come in, grab a plate, and watch some baseball (M's up 2-1 in the bottom of the 5th). I had this very nice Pale Ale for breakfast before I left the house: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1043/78667 . It's not going to replace Mirror Pond as my everyday drinker, but it's a very nice take on the style that I'll certainly have again.

 

Rye Beer

The second new beer I had today was forgettable, but the third one was of note. A rye/barleywine aged in Templeton Rye barrels. It has to be great, right? Brau Brothers Rye Wyne Ale:

Naughty naughty.

 

New Black & Tan Sundae.

I technically had this one last night, but you guys need to be warned away from this beer: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/892/42354

 

Sounds nasty! THen again, I've never had (that I know of) a beer in the style of "black & tan," so that could be what it's supposed to taste like.

 

New Imperial Black Ale

I'm back!!!

Two weeks off from beer certainly makes my heart fonder of this sweet nectar.

Beautiful Mother's Day in West Michigan. Warm weather, blue skies. One handed crepes were a hit at breakfast. Time to get back in the saddle and review.

This one from Arcadia is a "hit" in my book.

Low 70s, sunny and with a mild breeze in the city that was jam-packed with Bloomies last week. Been giving my kitchen a major cleaning, but paused for lunch,which I then followed up with this:

A very tasty DIPA, one I hope SN will make on a regular basis.

 

Southern Tier Gemeni. Excellent.

Supplication. I guess it's called 'sour' for a reason.

1 winner, 1 not. both new to me.

Cheers!

 

Decided to have a stout for lunch dessert, and this oatmeal stout from Firestone Walker did the trick:

New Wild Ale Sunday.

Got to check out the most recent Lips of Faith offering from New Belgium, Tart Lychee. LOVED IT. I do believe its my favorite wild ale I have yet to sample. Good stuff!

Also tried Dry Dock's Barrel Aged Strong Ale and Victory's Summer of Love. Yet to review though.

 

First time having Sixpoint Resin, was a little dissapointed.

Bud light platinum


I was away this weekend and had a leftover this a.m. A truly regrettable experience but hey, at least I was with friends.

 

Red IPA Sunday.

A nice candy flavored brew from Sam Adams. East-coasters must get this all the time, but it's new in my region.

Nice beer, lots of caramel flavors with that pine bitterness.

Gorgeous day here in the Columbia Basin. Sunny skies with temps in the high 70's. I doesn't get much beter than this.

Happy Trails!

 

Greetings NBS,

Just finished sampling this **American IPA** from He'Brew. Unfortunately, it was pretty average:
