Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I had the Grapefruit Sculpin when I was out there in April. Good stuff - especially with grapefruit wedges fresh off the tree!

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I had a beer about 15 years ago, and I've never been able to find it since. A friend brought it back after visiting a beer competition in Portland, but I just found it on tap yesterday in Virginia.

It's called Black Bute Porter... one of the best beers I've ever had, and 15 years later, I feel the same way. I hope I can find it in a store somewhere around here.

Any MD, DC, Northern VA guys see this in any stores?

I'd check the Total Wine's website. If they have it you can usually ask the store on 198 in Laurel to special order it for you. There "used" to be an ABC Store in Arlington that would order anything for anyone.

Total wine has a huge selection of hard to find beers. I will look out for it if I see it anywhere

Deschutes? They are putting out some very good beers the last few years. Fresh Squeezed IPA is one of my top 5 probably.

Yep... and I've seen that Fresh Squeezed IPA but didn't realize it was the same brewery. Now that I know, I'll have to give that a try.

A pleasant surprise at the store tonight. Ballast Point has made it here, so I picked up the Grapefruit Scalpin. Delicious.

Havin' that as we speak...& yes this IS outstanding, but a little steep in price 14.99 a 6

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I was sober for a little bit more than six months and just fell off the wagon.

Back on the Bells Two Hearted bandwagon. Plus, whisky. Lots of whisky.

Also had a few Lagunitas IPA's on Friday night. Awesome beer.

I guess I take it for granted. I can't swing a dead cat and not hit a case of Ballast somewhere here.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I was at a wedding last night and they had a crappy beer selection so I was drinking whisky instead. All of a sudden, a friend of mine told me that she had brought a growler of Fat Head's Hop JuJu and poured me a glass. Oh my, it was beyond fantastic. Had a kind of mosaic hops aroma and taste to it sort of like Great Lakes Alchemy Hour/Chillwave has. I will definitely be downing a lot of these in the near future:
