Craft Beers / Microbrews: What Are You Drinking?

[Mowglisml]

There is a brewery less than a mile from my house. They have a delicious Jamaica Beer. I & I brewery. I should be driving out to the San Diego area and hitting up all the breweries, but for some reason haven't really done that. I take advantage of the brew festival that happens yearly in town so i can sample

There is a great beer festival here in Toronto in October.. called Cask Days... brewers from all over Canada and USA. Always fun trying new big beers!

fantastic beer... im heading to florida friday.. hoping to find a 4 pack of that somewhere. Have had 90 min many times, but 120 only once...

I've got patience only because I have a stockpile of beer and wine. Some stouts are 2-3 yrs and wine is 10+

 

[Young Gotti]

Finally got some ballast point red velvet I'm the east coast

Not my favorite but it's pretty good

 

[jswain34]

Had a few good beers in NH this weekend. My favorite of which was the Switchback Brewery unfiltered amber ale. Drank it while eating a GREAT pot roast at an irish pub and the combo was top notch.

Right now I'm sipping on a Ste Chateau Michelle Riesling.
Can someone point me towards a quality cider? Not a generic angry orchard or anything like that.

I have a beer cellar that is about 600 beers deep. Only going back about 4 years but some beauts... shame we all live so far away, we could do a hell of a tasting with all our collections!

Hillstead Farms i think is the best in NH.

Side note... just returned from my trip to Florida (Sarasota area). Beautiful.

Beers.. great... some fantastic select from Cigar City, Big Top, Terrapin, Green Bench. Picked up a bunch of others and filled 2 suitcases... ballast point, southern tier, dogfish, founders, to name a few.

Picked this up this afternoon after the gym. Pretty smooth

 

[jswain34]

Had that last Tuesday. I was a BIG fan.

 

[nicksox15]

That looks great! Heading to Boston this weekend, any pointers?

 

[wasme]

....I envy the beer selections south of the border!

 

[Martyfnemec]

I love any stout or porter by DuClaw Brewing Company based in Baltimore.

 

[jswain34]

This is great

 

[wasme]

jswain34 .....Just picked up tickets for 'FUNKFEST' which is on Canada Day (July 1st)... sour / wild ale festival. Should be awesome! Last year the selection was epic..

https://funkfest.beer/ for anyone curious.

We don't store much food as I prefer to go the market every one to two days

 

[wasme]

Dank Tank, curious about that one!

My current favorite barrel aged beer.

 

[jswain34]

Great looking pour. I bet that carries a hefty ABV with it.

Either stalking the wrong guy, or so many that you got confused! I'm in Western Illinois. Most of my beer purchases are at Hy-Vee liquor store.

 

[SFreed]

According to Boulevard's website, BottleShop and Red Carpet Liquors carry it.

I spent a little time in Mishawaka back in the late 90's with work. Was never a big Notre Dame fan, so I didn't quite fit in

Hmm..red carpet is my go to liquor store in Lp. Guess its been too long since ive checked it out. And yah, i hear you there, im not a ND fan either so dealing with the ND fanboys around here can be a little...taxing, lets say.

 

[p5sky]

Drank for the cycle last night.

Single IPA
Double IPA
Triple IPA
Stout- Even More Jesus

I just can't get into IPA's. Maybe I haven't had the right one

I thought that said 11.2" for a second...

It's a matter of personal preference. I've tried several highly rated IPAs, but still prefer darker beers like porters and stouts.

 

[p5sky]

IPA, porters, and stouts are always in stock

If that were the case I'd have a different job.
