Stocking up for the Winter

I think its 18%...drink it slowly

 

forgot to put New Belgium Frambozen, totally love that stuff

 

What a great thread. Stocking up before Winter is something I do annually and this year so far its:

Speedway Stout
Lost Abbey Serpent Stout
Founders Carmadgean
Founders Dirty Bastard
De Dolle Stille Nacht
Amager Hr.Frederick
Oscar Blues Ten Fidy
St Bernardus Christmas Ale (for Christmas, obviously)
Delirium Christmas (ditto)
Harviestoun Ola Dubh 1991
Harvisetoun Old Engine Oil Engineer's Reserve
Hawkshead Bladnoch Cask Imperial Stout
Great Divide Old Ruffian Barrel Aged
SN Bigfoot
SN Narwhal
Dark Horse Scotty Karate
Traquair 2020
Fullers Double Stout
Fullers Vintage Ale (various vintages)
Tempest Old Parochial Barrel Aged Imperial Scotch Ale
Struise Pannepeut 2010
Struite Pannepot 2009, 2010
Hardknott Vitesse Noir Triple Imperial Vanilla Mocha Stout
Hardknott Granite 2011
Bourbon County Brand Stout (2012)
Courage Russian Imperial Stout (the new stuff)


This year's guest whisk(e)y, joining the usual Winter house whisky (Dalwhinnie 15 year old) will be The Green Spot.

I'd say I'm set to get absolutely slaughtered.

 

I enjoy a lot of the beers that have been mentioned, but usually just buy them as the mood strikes. Schlenkerla Urbock, Pannapot Reserva, Courage RIS and Sinebrychoff Porter are probably the ones I will drink the most of.

The only beer I am actually stocking up on, though, is BCBS, and that's because I am planning on having it with the family over Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think there's a bottle of FW DBBA left over from last year, too- we'll just have to do better this year.

 

I don't really believe in hot and cold weather beers, but I shall be on the lookout for Schlenkerla Urbock and Sierra Nevada Celebration in the later stages of the year.

 

I panicked a little when I read the first post... love me some Brooklyn BCS...

 

Feeling lucky.

 

Founders breakfast stout
Terrapin WnB
Narwhal
Schlafly Tasmanian IPA
Modus Hoperandi

Will be regulars in my fridge for the winter!

 

Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout/Winter Warmer
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Boulevard Nutcracker
Paulaner Salvator
Ayinger Celebrator

In general what I listed are not seasonal but definitely work for winter!

 

Sorry. Sorry everyone.

 

It's already being bottled and should be available soon!

 

Just got some fresh breakfast stout and have to say fresh is the way to go super coffee taste great stuff. Also got some vic at sea doris tge destroyer cuir and black butte xxv. Cant wait till those cold winter nights.

 

This is a thread that is causing much jealousy. Stocking up...what the hell is that?

Do people have the money to stock up for the winter? Where the hell did I go so wrong in my life that I don't have this ability...

 

Hell yes! Saw the FB post earlier this week, ready to consume mass quantities of this stuff!

 

seriously ... even if i could afford some of these lists, it would take me FIVE winters to drink it all up

of course, winters here in Texan can be short

 

I'll have to wait to see what the local specialist bottle shops are getting in stock, so the short answer is I don't know atm.
But like others I will be reaping the benefit of fruits of the cellar come winter;

I just started my cellar so I don't have much that I will be drinking this winter that isn't readily available. But maybe I'll have one or two of the following:

Narwhal
Old Rasputin
Black Butte XXV
Speedway Stout (and BA version)
Vietnamese Coffee Speedway Stout
All Yeti variants
Black Xantus
Stone RIS (and espresso)
Lost Abbey Angel's Share
Uncle Jacob's Stout

 

I was told about this when the American IPA was coming out and from how they were talking about it, it sounded like a one-off that they did for 2012 as a special release. Keep in mind, this was just earlier this year when I was just getting into craft beer. I was pretty disappointed to be missing out on such an interesting IPA. I'm super excited now.
