What beer are you drinking now? #3124

Probably, not sure if AB discloses that info. I drank Becks when they first started
brewing it in the US and it was ok, but I swear over time they dumbed it down.
I'm sure they will do the the same thing with Stella when they start brewing it in US.

 

Yep it's printed on the front St Louis, MO. Beck's was $1 more per 12. No Warsteiner or Bitburger in sight (which I would've opted for) so SPG all the way home! I just bash 'em off my face. Crush beer. However I must say that I spent a lot of time in Ireland and was there when Heineken began brewing there. No change in quality of flavor on that one. But it's been a couple yrs now...Cheers!

 

Up now is Troegenator, a doublelbock from Troegs. It's rich & malty as expected. The most striking thing about this one is the color. It's a unique auburn color that really stands out.

 

I’m afraid of st Pauli girl because the last time I had it it tasted like burnt paper. I know why. I left it in my truck for way too long on a hundred degree day. But still scared.

 

You are are talking about the beer...right?

 

Lunch beer, courtesy of @gbiello - Tilted Barn’s “Grow” an “American IPA” that happens to be hazy:



Canned 3/16/21. Poured at 52°. Hazy pale amber; three fingers of rocky off-white head; looong cap retention; heavy ring; medium heavy lacing. Grapefruit and dank nose; aroma becomes a little skunky as beer warms. Bitter grapefruit zest entry; firm malt base; strong earthy hop finish. Smooth soft mouthfeel; moderate minus carbonation; medium plus, almost full body; no astringency. Overall, a drinkable IPA; long bitter linger which I like, but more body than I want, and I just didn’t care for the taste (Strata, Talus and Vic Secret hops), as it was earthy(er) than what I like; still a very good IPA.

4.75 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 4.0
Score: 4.05 rDev +0.2%

Thanks again Greg!

 

Wonder what's next. DDH DIPA from Prizm.
Cheers

 

I took this week off from work and plan to mountain bike in the morning, putter around the house in the afternoon. Gonna rent a big car and head to Georgia on Friday. A friend gifted me some Palmetto Brewing beers. Starting with an Amber, labelled as a red ale. Meh.

 

oh baby - well, my shipment of Nightmare's 'Sororicide' (imperial stout, 15+abv) just arrived. and it's a rather boozy, peanutty BOMB!

 

Thanks! Good to know. Until last year this was just a place we could go anytime. Realy like to visit that cathedral.
Cheers

 

Really really good beer.

 

Ouch ...

 

In my glass now is Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA. This is a really nice one. There's a lot more malt than in an ordinary IPA. There's caramel & bread to go with the grapefruit & pine.

 

One and I will see you all later.

 

Hoping these return this Summer.

Going with a Pattie Boyd / Goodfellas connection, the third not featured this Saturday on the Flashback.

 

Nice saison that went well with raspberries and Jarlsberg cheese. Wish we got more Stillwater brews here.

 

I had fond memories of St Pauli Girl from long long ago until I had one in a Hungarian restaurant about five years ago that tasted like hot garbage for whatever reason. I wasn't there for the beer but still...
