Good morning pastors of pilseners and pale ales! Hope this message finds you enjoying another fine Sunday and if you do happen to be tweeting from church today then I hope you will also be tweeting about craft beer as well. All other threads aside we have some tasty offerings showing up in Central Ohio. Nice to see 3 Floyd's back, I've seen some Fat Head's, Frangelic Mountain Brown, and Devil Dancer (which I usually have to pick up in Michigan). Whatever is new to your area or new to you this is the place to talk about it today! Please try a new beer, review it, and post it hear. Kindly paste your review link, give us a good description, and a pic if you're feeling especially daring. Thanks for keeping NBS fresh, informative, and fun. I hope you have a great day and your glasses are full of new, world-class beers for you to enjoy. Peace, love, and malty-ness, Matt
Saison/Farmhouse Ale Good day NBS. My new beer is from a relatively new brewery. They have developed a very mixed opinion of their beers. This one turns out to be fairly good. I guess I will give their beer more of a chance. Lucid Summertide: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/27025/83006/?ba=morimech
Firestone Walker Double Jack Grabbed this little gem after driving the family truckster down to Virginia with the little woman and my four kids. Wow, what a great Sunday afternoon beer. I'm painting some interior molding and sipping on this hoppy bad boy with a nice malt backbone. There aren't too many out of market beers that I really wish were sold in Michigan but this is one of them. Cheers!
New American DIPA Sunday Upper 80s today, and sunny with a slight haze in Northern Utah. Been waiting to try something from this brewery for a few years, finally I've gotten a chance, not the beer I was originally looking for, but one that is very nice non-the-less. What a surprise it was. Thanks Dick! http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/14952/78559/?ba=Wasatch Cheers!
New American Blonde Ale Greetings NBS'ers, Back to a pleasant classic sunny summer day in SCMN. We all beat the heat this week. ' had a surpsingly good cream ale from the new #rd St. Brewery associated with Cold Spring. I didn't realize I could like that style as much as I liked that beer. Today going with Victory's new summer ale. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/345/59987/?ba=garymuchow A nice summer ale. A little big for a session beer - richer and fuller than most too - but flavorful and enjoyable. Best to all.
I have been holding onto this forever (although I traded multiples of this with others ^^). Finally got to crack it open and give it a shot. It's not the best BA stout in the world, but definitely worth a try. Sweet caramel, chocolate, vanilla, some characterics from the bourbon-aging (not dominent though), orange rind.... alcohol extremely well hidden (at 14% abv). Cheers to Sunday! Joe
Greetings fellow NBS'ers! After too long of an absence, I'm able to join in again, thanks to a new work schedule. I've been keeping an eye on y'all though, and some of ya aren't posting in the spirit of NBS. If you don't do reviews, at least take a minute to tell us a little something about that brew. Here in the Fourth Corner, Summer showed up right on schedule, July 5th. I've been out walking in our great weather a lot lately, and after doing 6 round trips up & down the Stairs of Doom (a set of 106 stairs on a local trail), I started off with this much discussed brew: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/80911 . It exceeds all its hype, you should do what you have to to get one. Cheers and Happy NBS all!
tried this for the first time today. Have to be honest- rather disappointed- very thin, not much going on. Was expecting more- but still good none the less.
>>> New American IPA <<< Rosebud from Beer Valley. A descent and full-malted IPA with a lot of molasses flavors to off-set the bitterness. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/14984/58745 Hot here in the Columbia Basin, with temps in the upper 90's. I LOVE IT! Give me all the hot weather you have. Happy Trails.
No review, but I had Bruery Filmishmish today. Pretty high on the sour scale, decent fruit flavor from the apricot. This beer has officially made me scared of Mother Funker.
AMERICAN DOUBLE / IMPERIAL STOUT Happy NBS to all... Sunny, mid 80's with a lot less humidity here on Long Island today. I vacuumed the pool this morning and then got to enjoy relaxing in and by the pool with my wife. We each had a couple of bottles of Sam Adams Summer Ale and snacked on nachos and chicken wings. I bbq'd a couple of strip steaks for dinner and I decided to open this beer for desert... 2011 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout
is there a date on it? i got a couple four packs back in jan/feb and thought they were on par with fbs.
New Belgian Style Golden Sunday! Made a wonderful beer run and grabbed this as my mandatory "affordable" beer. What a wonderful ale! http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/112/411/?ba=mtlasley North Coast is never a disappointment and they've not let me down with this. A bit yeast dominated but still, an easily drinkable Belgian that won't destroy the wallet? I'm pleased.
***New American IPA Sunday*** A late check in for me today. It was a sweltering day here in Southern, CT with hazy sunny skies and warm, humid temps. It made the yard work and chores interesting. Time for a tasty NBS: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/696/20389/?ba=CHADMC3
