Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Back to some better beers lol.

I had 3 of these last night. I drank a sixer of these last weekend also. Turbo Dog has been one of my favorite beer for sitting down and killing 12 or so. It is cheaper than Chimay and has great flavors of Chocolate and caramels.

Turbodog has been replaced on my list of go to beers. Sam Adams Cream Stout..........Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't know what it is about this beer that I love so much. It is very similar to Turbo Dog, dark rich flavors, alot of chocolate and caramels. Pours a nice thick off white head, which lasts the whole glass. The lacing is amazing, Go to wash dishes couple days later and the lacing will be dried on.

My New Favorite beer.

Man, I have 4 of those on my shelf just sitting there that I will never drink. If you lived in Birmingham I'd give them to you.

Had some NewCastle Brown Ale this past weekend

A- Hazel brown in color, Sudsy tan head that shrinks quickly. Little lacing.

S- Sweet malt, slightly nutty scent as well.

T- Clean and crisp. Sweet malt flavor dominates and is nicely done. Nutty, slight buttery taste, some caramel. Clean finish with no aftertaste.

M- Lighter bodied, creamy smooth texture. Carbonation is dead on. Soft on the palate.

D- Outstanding drinkability . Refreshing, clean and very sessionable. Good go to beer for any occasion and easy to find which is a bonus.

a little pricey tho.

swigs...outa 5 good stuff

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

This thread makes me want an Amber Bock. And this is my first visit to this thread, so I'll enjoy reading through some of the older posts.

Seeing as how I'm 23 and have been recently released from the fraternity lifesyle in May that was filled with Natty, Bud Light, and the occassional PBR, I found that I really am a beer lover. My question to the experienced beer lovers is, what are some good places to go learn more about the different types of beer and other useful information. Any other advice, tips or whatever would be appreciated. Thanks.

...I still want an Amber Bock...that Cream Stout looked delicious, too...

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

It's like $50 a case for Coors Light. Just a little a little under 50. Old Mil I always got 6 packs of tallboys for $10.75.

Where do you live that a case of Coors Light is $50?

That is unbelievable! Unless you aren't in the states.

Newcastle is good stuff.

Beeradvocate.com is a great site for that kind of stuff. It's usually my go-to site for reviews, as well.

Thanks for the offer Fish. I am in Louisiana, not a long way away but way to far for 4 beers LOL.

Why won't you drink them bro?

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Yeah, Newcastle is one of my fall-back beers when a bar doesn't have anything appealing on tap... they almost always have a bottle of Newcastle sitting around though.

Places around here have been adding Hoegaarden on tap, which rules... tastes identical to how it tastes in Europe, but I think it's literally just because it's a draft instead of bottle. Heineken actually tasted different bottle or not... I don't normally like it (neither does my Dad), but we both enjoyed them in Amsterdam.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Yeah, I'm becoming a big fan of the aromas that hop-heavy beers have... and you're right about them going well with "oregano". I'll go to the massive liquor store and see if I can find those to try. Thanks for the suggestion.

I might warm up to the skunky craziness that some of them have, but I'm easing my way into the hops I guess. It just always turned me off -- even Sierra Nevada Pale Ale used to make me nearly gag with the skunk factor, but I think I would like it a bit more now. Helps to have food nearby to pair with it... in general, I'd rather drink a dark malty beer if I'm just sitting there drinking a beer.

You will warm up to it. The first time I had a Sierra PA (about 11 years ago) I spit out my first sip and dumped the rest. I really don't know what clicked, but over time I just wanted more and more hops. There is still a limit with me on too much hops though. Again, it's tough to provide some good examples because so many brewers throw a ton of hops at their brews these days, but maybe the guys at the massive liquor store can help out.

Some day you'll be drinking stuff like this where planes actually bomb your beer with hops:

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Been rockin lots of PBR lately and drawing plenty of blank stares from my friends and family wondering why, after years of preaching the good beer gospel, I'm toting around a 12-er of PBR. Goes down easy that's why. Oberon mini kegs are fun to pick up from time to time.

Rocking the PBR tonight, watching the Twins inevitably choking against the Angels. This is of course before I watch them choke from the third row tomorrow afternoon while downing another unfortunate beer mentioned in this thread, Coors Light.

Yup, a not-so-good beer weekend unfortunately. Although, I really think you can't go wrong with some PBR now and then, it really is one of the better old time macros (turned super cheap).

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Newcastle is a good beer.

Agreed.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Whoo, holy ****... I think my tastebuds just evolved in the last 6 months or something, because I'm LOVING this Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. It has an aftertaste, but it's not skunky at all, and it's just so snappy and smells great. 9.0% ABV doesn't hurt either. Eating an onion, mushroom, and goat cheese tart I made and drinking my 2nd beer... good times.

I know what you hop heads are on about now. This was a beautiful beer:



Great lacing:

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

That looks delicious. I think I'll head to the store tomorrow and look for it.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I have about three 4 packs of the 90 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head in my fridge. It is my favorite beer ever. In fact, I had two of them tonight. Before that I had a Hoegaarden and a shot at the bar and after that I tried one of these:



That is a Founder's Breakfast Stout and it is absolutely delicious. It was rather pricey ($15.99 for a 4 pack) but well worth it to me. I highly recommend it.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

What do you guys elsewhere pay for the 90-Minute IPA? I found it for $10.99 for a 4-pack (not on sale or anything) -- is that pretty average?

But yeah, it's crazy... very good beer. These hoppy beers are very complex, and I guess it's growing on me. I used to hate olives and asparagus too, so things change...
