Maury Ballstein Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not a beer fan normally but I think I might have found one that's awesome. Don't like the dark ones, hate all the ones that have a Heineken like aftertaste Breckinridge Agave Wheat. Anyone had before ? Is this a beer people like or am I drinking the apple martini of beers. Had 3 huge drafts last night, didn't feel like death after like usual beer does to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 so if you like Belgian style ales, try some of these Sasions that i think are absolutely fantastic...and i drink as much Saison as i do any other style And love, love , love the Singel from Hardywood here in Richmond. If you see some ion the store, it is a definite buy http://www.hardywood.com/content/hardywood-singel As a Richmonder what are your thoughts on Ardent ? Looks great, but I've been 2x and didn't love any of the beers. Also Green Flash just opened some monster brewery here, some are acting like that's a huge deal ?

Also Green Flash just opened some monster brewery here, some are acting like that's a huge deal ? I really like the sweet potato and sage Saison...but i usually can find a way to like most saisons. Love the Hardywood Pumpkin Saison...just a hint of Pumpkin...perfect. Have two cases of 12 of the big bottles in the garage fridge to last me thru the winter LOL.

SWATeam Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 With the holiday beer selection in full force, here is what is in the fridge at the moment. Magic Hat Snow Roller, Anchor Brewing Christmas Ale, Fat Head Holly Jolly, Elevator Winter Warmer, Great Divide HIbernation Ale, Bells Winter White, Harpoon Winter Warmer, Great Lakes Christmas Ale, Sam Adams Winter White, and a few more that I can't remember.I love the beer this time of year. I'm really liking genny's winter warmer and rohrbach's kaceys kristmas ale right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 had a couple really good ones today...one was outside my comfort zone a bit...evil genius - purple monkey dishwasher, a porter, absolutely delish, then went back to my IPA comfort and had the Golden Road Wolf Pup, what a tasty session IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 What about it!!! I'm excited as a non beer guy who found a beer he likes. Is this a good beer? Or am I still a kitty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds tasty, but at 4.4 ABV you'd have to drink about 15 of them to get a buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Is there a comp with higher ABV ? Drank 3 was fine. It's all good man. 4.4 is like a Mormon beer, but drink what you like. I really enjoy Founders All Day which is a really low ABV beer. Tastes good and you're not slurring your words after a 6 pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can have 3 miller lights at a show and just turn to crap. Stomach just turns and puking ain't out of the question. I will go in on some Irish carbombs tho.

Bad Things Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 A fantastic American IPA made here in New Zealand. Dump The Trump - Behemoth Brewery, Auckland NZ "This beer will build a wall of hops around your taste buds and make Mexico pay for it." http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/drinks/77696287/auckland-brewery-creates-antitrump-beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Is there a comp with higher ABV ? Drank 3 was fine. That to me is beer Nirvana...finding a beer you love with low ABV. I am on the eternal quest to find good, low ABV, beer. Love Tank 7 Saison from Boulevard, but its 8.5%...so i drink way more SmartMouth Saison at 5.5% even though i don't like it as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I don't know if this one's been mentioned, but I like a lot of the stuff from Left Hand. http://lefthandbrewing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix it up off shore drive sells it by the pint/growlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Fat Tire has been a favorite of mine this fall. Pairs great with wings! Also one of my local shops has been carrying a lot of Grimm over the last year. I have yet to have a bad one. I especially like their sour ales.

If you like stouts I recommend Left Hand Milk Stout. A good local IPA is Dogfish Head 60 minute. They have a 90 and 120 for you hop heads. Really good beer IMHO.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Fegley's Imperial Stout. Had one with lunch about a week ago. Maybe the best I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
