January 25, 201411 yr For those in the Alabama area, or definitely while at Maxwell, you should check out some of Good People's beers. I think I mentioned their IPA on here before, but they just started selling the Coffee Oatmeal Stout in stores. I tried it, and it is pretty good. Beer Advocate gives it outstanding marks too - a 94.

February 2, 201411 yr Enjoying a few Founders Porters while pre-gaming for the Superbowl. 45 IBUs. 6.5% Alc. I give it a 9/10!
February 2, 201411 yr Enjoying a few Founders Porters while pre-gaming for the Superbowl. 45 IBUs. 6.5% Alc. I give it a 9/10! Best porter out there, in my humble, sober opinion. Founders makes an awesome IPA and Breakfast stout as well. And I love how the packaging has the IBUs and Alcohol % on the neck of each bottle of each brand. Standardized. Dang, I just checked the beeradvocate score for the stout. I think that is the only beer I have ever drank that got a 100 on that website.
February 3, 201411 yr is anyone interested in a beer exchange? i know there's a lot of beers that aren't distributed widely, and this could be a cool way to try new/rare beers...
February 3, 201411 yr is anyone interested in a beer exchange? i know there's a lot of beers that aren't distributed widely, and this could be a cool way to try new/rare beers... I'm in. Anyone going to Germany and can bring me a case of Das Helle, I get you anything available around Atlanta.
March 5, 201411 yr I've been a look time onlooker of these forums and thought I'd comment on this thread because this one is a regular one I read. I'm in a tonight between which to buy out of these Philadelphia regional beers: Troegs Nugget Nectar Imperial Amber Ale Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA Victory Brewing Co. Golden Monkey Belgian Tripel Also I'm just curious are there many home brewers out there in the flying community?

March 7, 201411 yr "Fat Yak" pale ale from Matilda Bay Brewing co. Have yet to find it outside of Australia, but if/when you get down there, give it a try.
March 7, 201411 yr Finally got to try the Founders Imperial Stout. I have been looking for it ever since I first heard about it on beer advocate, but there finally appeared a few 4-packs at the local grocery store. Overall, it was pretty good, if you are into the double stout thing. It poured like motor oil, and I got a tiny drop from the bottle on my hand. That drop slowly rolled down, leaving a trail of brown smudge on my hand. Pretty thick stuff. It had a good taste, but nothing super special really stood out to me (maybe imperial stouts are not totally my thing). It tasted a lot like Rasputin Imperial Stout. Still worth a shot if you can get it and put one down on a frigid winter night in front of the fire or something. I definitely will want to finish the other three before the warm weather starts.

March 7, 201411 yr Tahoe Mountain Brewing Co.'s Double Nut Brown. Smooth, dark, with a little hazelnut flavor. Magnificent.

I've only heard good things about the Troegs...I say that one since it's not distributed as much. I definitely will want to finish the other three before the warm weather starts. Save em for a year or 2...beers like that age well.
March 27, 201411 yr Save em for a year or 2...beers like that age well. I have heard that, so I am giving it a try. Two are stashed away to be used after the first snow of the next winter season. I read the same thing about Chimay Grande Reserve - about how they get better with age and should be stored upright to keep the extra yeast on the bottom. They even print the bottling date on the cork of the blue Chimay's, which is kind of cool. So I have three of the big Chimay blue's stashed away for next winter as well. Has anyone every actually aged these dark ales for a year or so and definitively noticed an improvement in taste and flavor?? So I came across this gem at the local Costco today for only $17, which is a pretty kick ass deal It's a limited edition package of four 22 oz bottles of Stone: Arrogant Bastard Ale Imperial Russian Stout IPA Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale I have had the IPA, DIPA, and one or two others from Stone and have been generally impressed. Can't wait to try these. I think $17 is a steal, because at the supermarket next door, they had the 22oz Imperial Stout going for almost $10, and the Self-Righteous for about $8 I think. Plus the Costco here also has the big bottles of Chimay Blue for only $10. Their prices are unbeatable.

March 30, 201411 yr Narragansett. Asked for the shittiest non-PBR beer they had at this hipster cafe near the college I'm trying to attend. I got what I asked for. At least it helps me pregame before sorority chicks at the spot next door. Maybe one of them will be lucky number notch 13. It'll make me feel better for attending the local community college for my last few classes required to transfer to big bad university with glorious AFROTC. Might not get a pilot slot due to crappy grades stemming from chasing too many chicks in college. Prior AD makes you appreciate college one thousand percent more. Gotta earn dat slot though. Edited to say more clever crap to impress you guys with. Edited March 30, 201411 yr by Vice
March 30, 201411 yr Ayinger's Urweisse was recommended by the wait staff; pleasantly surprised. Also, if you're in the El Paso area, check out the Hoppy Monk; great food and an expansive beer list.
July 16, 201510 yr Some Yahoo article pointing to an online site doing a brewery survey. Check off the ones you like. I must say it was a nice list, but didn't go deep enough for some local-regional favorites of mine. I did it while enjoying a Tallgrass. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/best-craft-breweries-survey
July 16, 201510 yr Anyone have any decent recommendations for good beer places around Okinawa? The Okinawa Brewing Company is pretty good, but has a semi limited selection. The shoppette's here SUCK. Anywhere else in the Pacific but here has a nice selection of IPAs, but every shoppette on this island has absolute garbage beer.
July 16, 201510 yr Boulevard 80 Acre is my new default. If you like hoppy wheat's I'd highly recommend.

Cross the bridge and turn left into a parking lot. Japanese liquor store should be right in front of you. If you find yourself watching the banana show you have gone too far.
July 16, 201510 yr If ever in Wisconsin I suggest Spotted Cow,it is only sold in Wi. https://www.newglarusbrewing.com/index.cfm/beers/ourbeers/beer/spotted-cow
July 17, 201510 yr Iron Bird Brewing Co. in Colorado Springs. Great place with great beer! www.ironbirdbrewing.com Edited July 17, 201510 yr by Tank
