What beer(s) did you have on this date? Has your opinion changed?

I disagree. I can drink and enjoy most light AALs, but not Bud Light. It tastes like corn urine.

 

I wish I knew! I do not log my beers :/

 

Is there a quick way to check this on Untappd?

 

While I don't keep a log, I distinctly remember that Columbus Day last year was rainy and cold I had enjoyed Wake Up Dead Nitro.

 

This date last year (10/12/14) I had a Smuttynose Pumpkin...apparently didn't care for it that much with a rating of 3.22. Could probably say I wouldn't enjoy it today but then my tastes have changed since last year. 2015 I have really gotten turned onto sours and my pumpkin beers this year have been dark pumpkin pie tasting (Pumpkinator, Nightmare on 1st Street)

 

No beers on 10/12/14. I don't recommend that to anyone

 

I go to my coworker's house once a week and drink Busch Light. I usually tell him it has the same taste as the smell of plastic mold injection.

 

Wouldn't it taste like rice urine?

 

On 10/13/14 If that counts, I had a Pyramid Apricot Ale which was total ass. I call them 'after the fact' beers. Basic beers that taste like the brewer threw in a couple drops of fruit extract right before the bottling stage

 

One or the other. Technically that seems more likely. I've avoided it long enough that I have finally forgotten exactly what it tastes like - I just remember not being able to stand it when I was into Coors Light.

 

Sorry to say I don't keep a record of beers I have had on any certain date. I know I could sort all the beers I rated by date but alas that would cut into my beer drinking time today. It's a fun idea maybe some day this winter when it's 30 below and I have nothing better to do I'll take a shot at it. Besides as many years as I've been drinking the number of beers might just cause a heart attack.

 

I can't remember what beer I had on this date. I would have to look at my ratings to see If I had date that matches, even then that doesn't touch the amount of beers I've had.

 

On October 14 2014 I had the Bruery's Autumn Maple. My review:

"Interdasting, drank slow, got hot, drank slower, got hotter, delicious spice, sweet, enjoyed."

Looks like a drunken phone review. I gave it a 4.25 tho, that's the best score i've ever given a beer brewed with yams.

Hopefully i get to revisit this one.

 

I don't have any record of exactly what beer I might have had on this date last year, but since the first beer picture I took (Farmhouse Red from the Blue Moon variety pack) was dated October 22nd, it's likely that I was drinking Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale on the 12th, if I had a beer that day at all. That was the first six-pack of beer I ever bought.

I haven't had that one again since then, though, so I'm not sure if my opinion has changed or not. I remember thinking it was okay but wishing the pumpkin/spices were more noticeable... I suspect I'd be able to pick them up a lot better now since the general "beery" flavor that used to seem so strong in almost everything I tried back then is something my taste buds have gotten used to over time.

 

Nice thread idea, the only issue for me is that 10/12 has been a day off from drinking in every year since I've joined BA except 2013, and today will follow suit. What the HELL is the matter with me????

On 10/12/13: Clown Shoes Genghis Pecan and Central Water BB Scotch Ale were my choices and my ratings are in keeping with my current feelings. The former was a decent but unexceptional brown ale with minimal pecan flavor, while the latter is a very good barrel aged scotch ale in line with other CW brewer's reserve offerings; tasty, drinkable, not so massive they are one-and-done material.

10/12/10: Hadn't joined BA yet so let's just say I was drinking....GI Rare and Cantillon Blabaer...seems likely.

 

Not there yet, I just recently started my craft beer journey on last April.

 

When I get off work tonight I plan on drinking a Burial Beer Co. Skillet Donut Stout. So bring this back to life in about one year, and I will drink that beer again and say it was delicious. As for this time last year, I was still drinking awesome beers and enjoying them just as much. HOOORAY BEEEEER!!!

 

Cyclers in Montgomery Texas had a couple of beers on tap at Whole Foods, not sure what I was doing there on a Sunday
Palmares Imperial Stout
Derailleur Scotch Ale
Both really good beers

 

on this day in 2014 I had
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/137578/?ba=Beef_Curtains
Don't remember it very well but apparently I liked it

 

10/12/14 I had Back in Black by 21st Ammendment. Thought it was decent not great with a 3.5 score.

 

Cool thread idea. Oddly enough, the only time I've logged in a beer review on this site on October 12th was exactly ten years ago in 2005, and it was three beers.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale (3.81) - I'd say I still agree with my old review.

Amherst Brewing Co. Righteous Red (2.81) - I had this on cask at ABC, apparently didn't care for it very much, and now it is retired.

Paper City Hop Monster (3.80) - I remember this one since I drank four of them under the impression it was a regular IPA and have no recollection of the car ride home (don't worry I wasn't driving). Turns out it was an Imperial IPA clocking in at around 9%. Whoops! I haven't had it since then and it looks like nobody has written a review of it on BA since Nov 2012, although there have been a few "hads" since then.

Going to have to disagree with you here. Bud Light is the only beer on the planet that gives me a headache every time I have one. I'm fine with Miller Lite, Coors Light, even Budweiser, but Bud Light makes me feel like garbage to the point that I'd rather not be drinking at all.

 

On 10/12/2014 I had Samuel Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin and Spooky Tooth Imperial Pumpkin Ale by Fat Head's. Like the Spooky Tooth better.

 

Seems I gave these generous ratings the day before
10-11-2014 Warlock
Southern Tier Brewing Company
American Double / Imperial Stout 10.00 4 +1.5%
- 10-11-2014 Pumking
Southern Tier Brewing Company
Pumpkin Ale 8.60 3.75 -6.5%
generous ^
- 10-11-2014 Upslope Pumpkin Ale
Upslope Brewing Company - Lee Hill
Pumpkin Ale 7.70 4.65 +19.5%
Deserved imho ^

 

Crazy some of you know these. Must log everything

I might have had beers on this day. If I liked them I probably had them again. If not I did not.

Something like that.

 

Too much scrolling on u tapd to keep looking.

Enjoy

 

Firestone Union Jack.

Not possible for me to love it more.

 

Agreed. We should do this again some time. It's like the Time Hop app for beer reviews.

Reviewed two beers last year on this date: Elysian Punkuccino which I was stoked to have, since I traded for it, but was quite underwhelmed. Also Unknown's Over the Edge IPA which was meh. Neither have I revisited since then.

On this date in 2012: Reviewed the bottled version of Biere De L'Amitie, the Green Flash/St. Feuillien collab and did not like it. I had had it a month before on draft and loved it. The bottling date was 22/04/12 so it was six months old. Was a good lesson on bottled imports and how they don't hold up well. Have not revisited the beer since then since I believe it was a one-off.

So none of the beers I reviewed on this date in the years applicable lived up to my standards. Interesting.

Sidenote: When I went to look at my Beer Hads, I noticed that the beer I just reviewed (Alewerks BBA Porter) says that I reviewed it on 10-13-2015...it's the 12th. I did a review in the future man! Wonder what's responsible for the glitch.

 

Likely I had gallons of my homebrew. Springing from that assumption there's a 10% chance I gagged. 80% chance it was pretty decent. 8% chance it was great and I thought I should go pro. And 2% chance it was so good I ferretted the recipe every where I could think of; hoarded any remaining bottles, and rubbed the contents on my nipples as a sacrifice to Ceres before drinking the rest in a darkened corner of my work shop.

Or I was too busy to drink.

 

I still love the brews I had this time last eyar, but I rate them now more based on style instead of preference....I like IPA's more than I did a year ago, but still seek balance in any brew regardless of style. I suppose the more you review the more critical one becomes but still try and be even with criticism even from a brewery I like.

 

Can only narrow it down to one of these (purchased on 10/6/14), consumed with Sunday dinner...

I have a vague recollection that it may have been the Victory Festbier.
