What are you Drinking ?

Adam · December 06, 2013, 07:43:03 PM

I don't have issues with hops....I just hate overly hopped stouts, which is why I am not a fan of black ales/black IPAs either (aside from Firestone Walker's Wookey Jack)

I want one of those subpop bottles..you still have it??

RAGER · December 07, 2013, 12:33:25 PM

mortlock · December 07, 2013, 03:30:07 PM

RAGER · December 09, 2013, 12:21:44 PM

Yes Lagunitas. Wait till yall see what I bring home today.

RAGER · December 09, 2013, 06:47:22 PM

Ok you all have waited like good little children. Here it is.

Haven't cracked one yet. Might wait until my buddy gets here on Sunday. Probably keep one in my jam room.

Oak aged Belgian inspired IIPA from Ft. George Brewing.

Way killer cider.

Adam · December 13, 2013, 08:24:02 PM

Not usually a fan of barrel aged ipa's but this barrel aged IIPA from Elevation Brewery, Fanboy, is really damn good.

Speaking of sour cherry, I just tried Leifman's Cuvee Brut for the first time and I'm loving it. Nice change of pace from the IPA's I've been drinking recently.

I've not had that. I should try it. There's just so much local stuff around that I don't usually drink imports anymore

It's definitely worth trying. You def have a more sophisticated palate than me so it's possible it might not be your cup of tea. I've been enjoying the heck out of it though. Sweet, tart, and a little funk.

Speaking of sour funk, my wife surprised me with one of these last night. Very tasty. Reminded me a bit of Petrus Aged Pale but more dry.

My intro to Jester King, Wytchmaker. A farmhouse rye IPA. A very nice first impression from these guys.

Adam · December 27, 2013, 08:14:41 PM

A mini growler from Grimm Brothers, an oak aged American brown Ale, Clever Hans. Awesome stuff, Grimm Brothers is one of Northern Colorado's hidden gems.

Adam, if I thought I could actually participate in a beer swap thingey it would be great to swap stuff with you but I'm terrible at those things. heh. Anyways here's a few from the last few days.

Breakside Wanderlust IPA. Outstanding of course. This is from their 30 facility ion Milwaukie which I haven;t been to yet. Lots of stuff there that's not available in Portland.

This is from John Harris' new place. John is responsible such great Deschutes beers in the past such as Bachelor Bitter, Obsidian Stout, Mirror Pond, Black Butte Porter,..... Worked for Full Sail the last 15 years and is finally on his own. pretty good winter IPA

I could probably give up beer completely and drink nothing but this place's cider. it's that good. This is one of their botanical versions. Amazeballs

fallen · December 30, 2013, 11:58:40 PM

The one on the far right hand side. Burnside Brewing "Sweet Heat" ale with apricot and scotch bonnet pepper. Drinking it out of a jar.

RAGER · December 31, 2013, 10:37:49 AM

Hey that's Portland beer. Where'd you get it. Their pub is right off burnside near to the site of the new red fang vid shoot and Doug fir. They have this app on the menu called the cohiba. Duck confit, crisp crepe rolled up to look like a cigar served in a crystal ashtray with some finishing salts. It's interesting.

I don't trade either. Too expensive.

I like to have options

Adam · January 02, 2014, 10:47:33 PM

I wish I had the option of some White Rajah out here in Colorado.

That said, happy to have one of my favorite beers back on the shelves. The beer formerly known as Odell Red.

Adam · January 21, 2014, 10:24:01 AM

Hit up Odell yesterday and grabbed a pour of Wolfpicker Pale Ale and Head for the Hills hopped up amber. Ambers aren't usually all that interesting, but Odell continually counters that trend and makes a bunch of good ones. This was no exception and one of my favorites.

(Sorry for the wacky lighting, the sun was shining directly on the camera at the time)

peoplething · January 22, 2014, 08:36:50 PM

you might know what's out there, but it fails....... FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say.

RAGER · January 22, 2014, 08:59:20 PM

Fort George 1811 Lager. Nums

Lumpy · January 23, 2014, 01:22:44 AM

Kelso Pilsner, it's poop. Not really a pilsner fan, so I should have known better. Pilsner kinda sucks (maybe it's a good summer beer, I dunno).

I scored two sixes the other day(one for a trading buddy of mine) and I've drank 2 bottles so far. (It seems the alcohol is a bit more prevalent this year, but who knows?)
Every year, it's the same thing: enjoyable, but overpriced and overrated.
And next year I'll buy the same amount, drink it, and bitch about the same things.

RAGER · January 23, 2014, 12:35:20 PM

I have never had Hopslam and I'm not entirely sure I've had Bells beer at all. Especially for as old a brewery it is. I'll ask around but I do;t think it's available out here in the West.
