What beer are you drinking now? #1247

XTRA CITRA -- a new one from Surly. A summery session strength pale ale canned only a couple of days ago.

 

Great banter so far today. It's brunch time!

First up; TAPS Fish House & Brewery: Cream Ale





Any song that mentions "The beer you had for breakfast" and "Sunday Morning" works for me. Thanks JC!

 

Good Morning. Epic Utah Sage Saison. I enjoy this one, it is usually my go to for turkey day as the sage plays well with thanksgiving dinner but it's also a good beer for a Sunday morning in March. Probably my second favorite Epic brew behind BBB.

Cheers BAs and happy Sunday

 

Getting psyched up for some grocery shopping.

 

3rd Sign Abandon All Hope. A coconut and pepper flavored porter.

 

I stopped by Fieldhouse yesterday for the first time - was pleasantly suprised! Their Hoppy Sour and Saison were pretty good IMO.

 

Cooking breakfast on this rainy day

 

Three of my Final Four teams lost the first game. I had Michigan St. winning it all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Love their new location, but the beer hasn't been the same since Jason left IMHO...

 

Looks like I'm not leaving the house today. Spring cleaning mode. Love the boozy goodness. Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

Interesting - added to my "to visit" list in Chicago in April. Cheers...

 

Enjoying my last Manor Hill IPA I smuggled back to WI

Cheers BA!

 

Oh it's definitely available, I just haven't tried it yet. Achel is also readily available where I live and I definitely look forward to trying it soon. La Trappe is pretty good as well but not as good as the ones that I listed.

I'm not particularly concerned about trying the others (Zundert, Spencer, or Stift) since they're not available where I live and I haven't really heard great things about them either. Tre Fontane looks pretty good too, although I have no way of getting it since it's only available in Rome or from the monastery.

I really want to try Westvleteren, however, so I'll have to either find some in a trade or wait until my trip to Amsterdam in a couple of years.

 

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification. Wasn't too sure about that.

 

Yeah, need to get back to FH (haven't been in a year, maybe) - my go-tos in our COS region are Iron Bird, Manitou Brewing, and because of distance...Pikes Peak Brewing... but I need to give FH another try, soon.
When i'm feeling picky about FH, I think they completely mis-designed their taproom, by sticking beer up in light, and all the patrons in the dark slot-hole of a tasting room. But I like them as people, and they really are trying to do different things, so props on that front.
