Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

It's in Hamden. Website is kind of messy but informative... I don't think this shows everything they have either. http://www.the-wine-source.com/beers.htm

Thanks a lot. I was going to try to look at this spot called the perfect pour that is in Columbia.

Its also worth giving Total Wine (used to be Corridor) on 198 in Laurel a look.

It's terrible this year. Totally watered down taste. Even their employees switched to Thirsty Dog's 12 Dogs...

Ended up grabbing a bomber of Rahr & Sons Bourbon Barrel Aged Winter Warmer (9%), and filling a liter growler with Peticolas Wintervention (10%).

Wintervention


Winter Warmer (I think they've updated the bottle art)

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I'm collecting a six-pack of robust Chocolate from my BNI brewer this week at the meeting.

Probably the first meeting I'm actively looking forward to going to so far.

You'll have to let me know how the Evil Twin Biscotti Break Natale turns out. I saw that at a Whole Foods a couple days ago and wanted to try it. But I didn't want to break down and spend $14 on it (plus their Spicy Nachos beer that I had was crap).

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Spicy Nachos Beer? lol wow, so much potential until you actually consider the flavor clash
