snafu Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Brooklyn Lager is my go-to these days. That and Sierra Nevada. On a hot summer day, I like a good Coors (not light) or PBR. When I travel I try the local fare, usually sticking to a pale ale. Never wheat, never something that needs a slice of citrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I LOVE Molson Export, but I haven't been able to find it in years. I get mine on my trips to Canada but have not stopped for a while; no space last summer w/family luggage. Will try to get more next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomoe Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I know there are a few Central Florida residents here. A "newer" brewery that has started to get their product distributed across Florida is Central 28 Brewing. They have a healthy stable of beers that are continuously produced and have a few that they bring out as "seasonal or special occasion" I am currently drinking "Trekker" which is a Farmhouse Ale(delicious) and the wife loves their "Under Duck"' a lager. I highly recommend trying any of their beers if you can find them. Winn Dixie carries a bunch and they are popping up throughout most establishments that carry something other than Bud and Coors Lite as their go to drafts.

CountDorkula Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Had this over the weekend. Sour meets Coffee Oatmeal Stout.

The Poojer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm not normally a sour guy(I say that, but then everytime i try one, i really enjoy it), but this really sounds like it would be awesome! I like a lot of the stuff Terrapin puts out Had this over the weekend. Sour meets Coffee Oatmeal Stout. Not as much tart cherry sour flavor as I thought there would be, but still delicious.

BringBackFergy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I like that one but only in the summer. I had a couple of my standard Lagunitas IPAs tonight. One of my favorites Flower Power IPA (Ithaca, NY) Saranac Legacy IPA (Saranac NY) Ballast Point Sculpin (CA) Druthers IPA (Saratoga Springs, NY) (had wayyyy too many of these at our last 518 Lunch last week and still feeling it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 For people who like craft beer on a budget you should check out Costco for Kirkland's craft beer mix. It comes by the case with one six-pack each of brown ale, pale ale, IPA, and double bock. It's really not bad and at $20/case you can't beat the price.

Unfortunately I live in the stone age where my Costco doesn't carry alcohol. We just started selling beer on Sundays a few years ago and just started selling beer in convenience stores a few months ago. I'm off for the next 4 days. Who wants to party? I have to get some painting done, but how hard can that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Island is pretty "mainstream" for you beer geeks, but I like it for it for that reason. I love reading the reviews on beeradvocate.

The Poojer Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I've been lucky enough to get some every year I've been here in Philly. It's really an outstanding beer. But I've found the events are worth the wait because even if you don't get the Younger they always back it up with an Unreal tap list so one way or another you're getting something pretty spectacular That's on my beer bucket list, but I'm hoping I'll just stumble into it some day.
