Craft Beer

Really? I didnt now Abita was popular. Yeah neither would I , its not really one of those "more then 3" kinda beers although its not bad to have around during the summer.

 

Hop Wallop is awesome, as are all Victory beers. But you gotta go out and try Baltic Thunder...maybe the best beer I've ever teasted! I don't think its year round so you better hurry.

 

The Wallops are good always because they're so heavily hopped.

The Hop Devils get too malty if they sit for more than a few months.

Old Horizontal is a hell of a barleywine.

Storm Kings are good.

I can't stand the Baltic Pride.

 

Love Dale's Pale Ale. Especially on vacation around the pool if they won't allow bottles. Other two are real good also.

 

Are we really doing this again?

Best IPAs hands down:

 

Sorry. I take my IPAs seriously.

West Coast IPAs FTW?!

Fuck Green Flash for only selling 4 packs now. At least we have it up here on tap.

 

I just had Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, and it was one of the best beers I've ever tasted. Besides that, it knocked me on my ass.

I did not like the Green Flash Imperial IPA, but it's the best smelling beer I've ever encountered. Like fresh tropical fruit.

Yeah man. I said it earlier in the thread...but the Green Flash brewery does not fuck around. A bar in my neighborhood has Founders IPA on tap, which is tasty. Not the best, at all, but very tasty. Southern Tier IPA is no joke neither. They've been brewing it for a while now, but the Six Point Bengali Tiger IPA is great, too.

 

Summer's coming. Anyone like a good summer beer? Brooklyn Summer and Bluepoint Blueberry, good shit. Can't wait to get the bluepoint on tap.

 

I can't stand fruit in a beer personally.

Might as well drink a cosmo at that point.

IMHO!

 

I'd like to try a Hop Stoopid on tap. Don't like it in the bomber. The straight Lagunitas IPA is way too sweet.

I have drank them on the way to the games though. Good breakfast beer if you're going the IPA route. Kinda like a sweet danish.

 

I like this in the summer time:


and this:


and this:


and,finally, I love this on blistering hot days. The beer of my youth! Just wish it was never sold to Anheuser-Busch.

 

Totally different.

 

Agree that it is totally different, but this was one of the worst beers I've ever had



I actually had to lower the price to 2 cans for $1 to get the one case we ordered out of our cooler. It still sat there for another week before the 18 or so beers were sold.

 

Dale's Pale Ale is definitely one of my favorite beers. We had it on tap a few weeks ago and we kicked it in 3 days. Not a big difference at all in taste from the tap or the can, but it's still one of my go to beers at the moment.

 

Interesting. I've heard good things about that brewery though (their Monk's Blood beer).

 

I said it earlier in this thread. I think 21st Amendment Hop Crisis is one of the best beers I've had. Definitely have to love hops.

Did you drink it straight from the bombeR? I poured it into a tulip glass. IPA I feel needs to breathe. Trying to sound as hetero as possible saying that, but yeah.

Lagunitas IPA is much better on tap. Not a bottle beer. Something about all Lagunitas IPA's, when you let them breathe, the pine notes are more like "really good weed" notes.

 

lol. Dude I haven't drank a beer out of a bottle since college. I even use glassware when I'm tailgating.

I do drink Cristal out the bottle though, holla!!!!

 

I like their Back in Black quite a bit actually. I just didn't care much for the Watermelon Wheat. The Fireside Chat is pretty mediocre too in my book.

I have yet to try the Hop Crises, but will do so when we get some in. I love hoppy beers, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
