Nice to know!

This thread got my curiosity going and I actually scored some last night. It was just a few bucks cheaper than what y'all are paying, xina, but it's really smooth and I dig it.

To hell with the utility bill this month!
Fancy pants vodka!!

the price difference just pissed me right off, i live up the street from them and i pay more. oh well still my favorite and it's better than the other Austin vodka (Dripping Springs).

Brooklyn Brewery Dry Irish Stout

It's dry alright -- not sweet whatsoever. Oddly enough, it's not very flavorful. It tastes a little bit like Grandpa's attic. Maybe my palate isn't sophisticated enough to like this style. Would not buy again.

Not a fan of Irish Dry Stouts either. Same complains as you.

Homemade Chicha Morada - delicious!

You can make it alcoholic with Rum, Red Wine, or Cachaça

Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA. So easy going down, it practically drank itself.

Adam · March 15, 2013, 06:00:56 PM

Racer 5 is a nice IPA.

Just discovered Goose Island's Sofie the other week. It's better with some age on it so that the brett can continue to mature but still mighty fine fresh. Enjoying a fresh one right now.

A cool cider is nice after sauna.

Sixpoints 3bean. Strong... 10% ABV. Lordy. It goes down fast.

Had this 2008 Samichlaus last night. Just....WOW. Amazing..

MadJohnShaft · March 18, 2013, 11:54:18 AM

To celebrate the death to the Irish I bought some Bushnells yesterday - not bad in a rocker glass with on of my new Giant Ice Cubes

Adam · March 21, 2013, 02:40:18 PM

Got one of these and probably gonna crack in a few. Curious to try a brown ale with some coffee beans and cocoa nibs. In theory, it should be delicious.

Port Brewing can do no wrong

Adam · March 21, 2013, 08:39:00 PM

Yeah, this Port beer is not letting down.

I am quite health conscious person,so i always try my best to eat healthy and pure stuff.Also i stay away from drinking and drinks juices,plain water instead of drinking.

Volume · March 22, 2013, 03:26:04 PM

The most expensive beer I've ever bought, 26€. It's good, but not great. 10,5% is a bit too much and apparently I'm not a big fan of beer that's been aged in oak casks, bourbon in this case.

Oh, well, getting drunk tonight.

So put your favorite juice on the glass or shut up aboot it.

^straight up

currently sipping on a bit of chilled homemade rooibos/lime/ginger mead. dry, just a little sour. started it last spring with drinking it cold on a hot-ass summer day in mind, just bottled it last weekend. gonna be awesome in august (will probably tighten up flavor-wise with a few months of aging, anyway).

Soundgardenia · March 22, 2013, 08:13:21 PM

Drinking just some plain old jack and coke.... The move is leaving me with no money left for fancy beer or delicious ciders

(Which might also be the reason why I lost a jean size in just the past 3 weeks)

Jor el · March 22, 2013, 08:20:40 PM

Drinking some kind of Abita dealio.

Them loosianans make some purty good suds. Their amber is a good fallback.

Been an Odell night for me and now on some 90 Schilling.

Never had that one but have come to love bourbon barrel aged stouts. Love bourbon, love stouts, so its a nice marriage for me.

As for 10.5%, I have come to appreciate a little booziness from such big stouts, personally. What I have found is that is the brewers ability to make that kind of thing work that makes the difference. I have tried some 8% beers where the booziness was too much and killed it the beer, then I had some beers well over 10% where the alcohol was hidden well.

Best one of those i've had:

Gotta give my vote to these two bourbon barrel aged gems. I can't pick one over the other.

I dig the regular Old Rasputin so would love to try the barrel aged version, but so far I have gotten turned off by the price. Stuff costs no less than $23 a bottle around here, when Parabola comes at around $15 I can sometimes struggle with spending so much more for a beer that I can only hope I will enjoy as much as it. I am sure it's great though.
