BEER. What's in your glass?

I had this gem which is ungettable at the moment. A pizza pub is doing a craft beer month and they had a keg of this stashed. Not as good as the Supreme Leader, but sill nice. It appeared to be missing some of the head it was notable for.

I also got a growler of this from Kroger of all places. No one has it, and it’s listed as a retired beer.

FYI, if you are on the East Coast, HELLDORADO from Firestone walker should be in stores tomorrow, around 1pm.

That’s one of the beers I have been looking for. Stupid Prairie Artisan and Russian River Distributers.

I did pick up today…

The fall beers are coming out now. I grabbed a case of Harpoon Octoberfest Beer in cans. While I like most of Harpoon’s beers and love Octoberfest beers, I’m not in love with this one at all. I’m pretty disappointed. I’ll just get an actual German one next time to make up for it.

Lala, do you have access to any Russian River brewing?

Pliny the Elder is a chase beer.

My family is from near Scranton, PA. This is the only beer I drink when I visit. I fucking love it. Obviously not available near Texas.

It’s all over Virginia and NC. I think they have new beer that just came out as well.

Really different and neat beer. They only let me buy two. First time this beer has been released. If you like coffee, and light on the palate you’ll love this.

I’m trying to expand my palette, so I’m starting with building my own 6 packs, and going from there. As you can see, I’ve taken a liking to Oktoberfest brews.

Forget the one on the left almost everyone has at least tried it.

The Dragon’s Milk is interesting. Aged in bourbon barrels. 11% ABV. Taste almost like a cigar up front then you get a medium bourbon flavor, and it finishes with a vanilla flavor that doesn’t last long.

Is it good? That depends on if you like cigars and bourbon. It isn’t something I could drink over and over, but I did enjoy sipping on the one I had. I also enjoyed it more as it began to warm up.

Cigars and bourbon are 2 of my favorite things. I will have to track down a bottle.

A bit on the bitter side for me but you definately get pumpkin, vanilla, and essense of rum

I don’t know why I didn’t post this earlier, but someone said something about sipping out of the bottle and I had to be that “beer guy.”

I know most of you know this, but beers will taste completely different depending on what kind of glass you put it in.

For a lot of the more complex beers you want to be using this

I know, I know, but it does make a difference. I wouldn’t pay this much for them. I get mine like 4-5 bucks at my local beer place.

Here’s what’s been going on in my kitchen

This has a little bit of everything in it. Not my favorite, but definitely unique. Split it with a bud.

This has been a solid performer for higher ABV IPA

I also got a 32oz of the grapefruit sculpin.

People liked it, but were more a fan of the regular version. They also make a few other crazy varieties, one with habanero. (not my fav)

I got a hold of a bottle of zoe from main beer co., and usually their beers are pretty solid, I just wasn’t a fav of this one.

I think it was too malty

Next week I’ve got the main beer co. Peeper and Barrel House’s Blue Reserve, and possibly the woot stout.

@Rau great pick ups. I agree with your assessment on the grapefruit sculpin, and especially the habanero… I found it to be far too overpowering. Oh and excellent glassware choices :wink:
