all swedes are racist Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Went over to some friends' place? With a pretty nice beer collection. Some Treehouse, some Yellow Star, all around fun time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some beers in the Lips of Faith series (more "out there," craft offerings that come in single 22oz format) are pretty great (although conversely, some are fucking awful) whereas the normal and seasonal 6 pack lineup are pretty mediocre. Not bad, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We're enjoying some Morning Juice #9 (unfiltered Berliner Weisse with dragon fruit and passion fruit, it has an amazingly bright pink colour) from The Answer Brewpub in Richmond, VA. So SO good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyKC Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am enjoying some really fantastic sweet tea the wife and kids made yesterday--super sweet! Had a couple of glasses with a giant frosted coffe roll and a big bowl of cocoa puffs. Usually I don't allow that kind of trash in the house but we've all had a real hankering for sweets of late. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Agreed - the Lips of Faith stuff has been pretty nice in my experience. I've had some tasty beverages this week. A 30-odd TT by Cloudwater was halted as soon as I reached their IPA Citra brewed with Vermont yeast, because I refused to drink anything else after that. It's one of the best IPAs I've had in the UK. Probably closest to a Kernel IPA. The best thing was drinking it side by side with their DIPA and getting that East vs West thing going on. Then we went to Bristol for the weekend to visit friends who are opening a brewery there this summer and finally got to visit Moor and have a little poke around their brew house. AND got to drink Return of the Empire at source. AND bought a bottle of Fusion (annual special release old ale aged in Somerset cider barrels) from 2010. Looking forward to doing a vertical Fusion tasting soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercenaryChef Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 i did a beer dinner with a virginia brewery called ocelot friday. they make some really lovely beers. it was a true pleasure cooking to match their fine work. highlights in food and pairing for me was a super tropical tasting ipa with a raw halibut presentation, corned pork belly, smoked beef tongue and kimchi pierogi with their imperial red ale and chocolate pudding, coconut mousse, caramelized bananas with a simply perfect porter.

Fat Tire looks right up my alley. Way late to this but as it is my hometown brewery I ought to respond. I recently had Fat Tire again for the first time in years and was pleasantly surprised by how it held up. My tastes have changed dramatically but Fat Tire is as balanced as they come. My dad's favorite beer for the last fifteen years has been Abbey (too malty for me) and I used to drive it up to him before New Belgium expanded their distribution to everywhere. That said they are probably my third favorite brewery in Fort Collins; they have a very distinct taste but it doesn't really match my own in most cases. Le Folly was the first sour beer I ever tried and still one of my favorites so they will always get credit for that from me but I rarely drink them anymore.

all swedes are racist Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Sorry. On a serious note, I am not three sheets at the moment (barely a hanky to the wind), but I very much wish to be, and this Avery "The Maharaja" is a good place to start.

Xray the Enforcer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 To be fair, the second-cheapest lager really ought to be served ice-cold and from a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I believe the correct way to drink a Fosters is to hold it in one hand while wrestling a kangaroo into a headlock with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
