RaoulDuke79 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Avery Raja Double IPA simply delicious....tastes nothing like an IPA, but packs a punch at 8% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Avery Raja Double IPA simply delicious....tastes nothing like an IPA, but packs a punch at 8% Funny story, was out to dinner about 10 years ago with friends and another couple we had never met. Craft beer still relatively new. Â Place had these in the 750ml bottles. the dude I did not know sucked one down pretty quick and ordered another.I warned him about the ABV...but he paid me no mind! after the 3rd, and a few wines lets just say his wife was not so happy with him.

RaoulDuke79 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Lagunita Little sumpin sumpin is pretty tasty.

Bad Things Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I am blessed to live in a region known to produce quality hops. (Nelson-Tasman region/Top of the South Island NZ) This year's hops were harvested about a month ago, so the local brewers are just coming out with their freshly hopped IPAs and Pilsners.  Last night I enjoyed a couple fresh pilsners. Harvest Pilsner from The Sprig and Fern. http://www.sprigandfern.co.nz/blog/triple-gold-medal-winning-harvest-pilsner  I love this time of year.   Let's go Buffalo!

I was plan on working outside today, but the weather is miserable so I'm watching bucks/raptors in between painting and drinking beer. That's a nice one, it's in my normal rotation. Â For this evening's ferry ride I have a Brown Shuga but I'm not a big fan of this offering from Lagunitas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Been quite the variety for me today:  Two Genny's from the can as I finished doing expense reports late afternoon  Two Smartmouth Alter Ego Saisons for happy hour/dinner  Couple 60 Minutes to watch the Wizards game  Finishing with a Show Me Sour from Boulevard..not a fan at this point, but could be palate is cooked from the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 went to the Yankees game saturday and wanted to hit a couple breweries on the way out, preferably in Brooklyn as we were meeting my nephew. Decided on Other Half, have had their beers before and everything I have had from them has been top notch and ridiculously good, had 2 beers, first one was Imaginary Greenscapes, second was their Double Dry Hopped Cabbage, what an outstanding beer....wow. This place is what you would expect from a Brooklyn Hipster place, very industrial, no aesthetic appeal at all, but holy crap is their beer good. From there we went a mile down the road to The Three's Brewing, also some pretty outstanding beers...was able to snag a couple 4 packs, SFY and Unreliable Narrator, haven't tried them yet. Â On a side note, buddy of mine was clearing out his beer cellar of some aged beers. He has 3 1995 Sam Adams Triple Bocks he is giving me plus he said he will throw in some that didn't garner any interest. Can't wait for the Sam Adams, had a bottle 0f 1994 in october, it aged well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Had a couple of the Vedett Extra White (Duvel) and some Progress Pilsner (out of CLE) this weekend. Both tasty but the Vedett was the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Went to World of Beer this past Friday and had a couple pints of Road to Ruin Double IPA by Two Roads Brewing Co (8%). Very tasty. That's the second beer I've had by Two Roads and I have been impressed each time. The other I had was Lil Heaven IPA. Only 4.8% but I really enjoyed it.

plenzmd1 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not sure if a mentioned in this thread or not, but i am always a HUGE fan of Brooklyn Summer...but it off this year. Needs a little more hoppiness. Â Also, have not seen the Sothern Tier Hop Sun on the shelves yet...see some Lemon Sun beer, but I really loved the Hop Sun. Hope they did not replace it.

Ned Flanders Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 In the fridge: Â Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA (Delaware) Brooklyn Lager (actually brewed in Utica) Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale (Maryland) New Belgium Fat Tire (Colorado...also now brewing in NC) Not sure if a mentioned in this thread or not, but i am always a HUGE fan of Brooklyn Summer...but it off this year. Needs a little more hoppiness. Brooklyn Summer in cans is my go-to summer brew...sorry to hear about the quality this year. What ever happened to Brooklyn '55 Pennant Ale? It was a great beer.

The Poojer Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 A-B InBev just bought Wicked Weed......hate these acquisitions, but as long as A-B maintains a laissez-faire attitude, i guess i can live with the further reaching distribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Couple of new ones this past week for me. Â Did break down and get a single of the Soutern Tier Lemon Dtop Sun, and really enjoyed it. Total Wine said no Hop Sun this year, so guessing this replaced it. Did end up buying another 6 yesterday. Â Aunt Sally from Languinitas..tart, sour, light..enjoyed it as well.. Â Finally, bought a twelve of 60 minute in the can yesterday! Prolly the beer I drink the most, and I am a big fan of beer in cans! Have not cracked the first one yet to report any difference, but will this evening at dinner time. Just excited it is in cans now!

Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Found a 6 pack of Brooklyn Summer tall boys yesterday. Bought 2 of them. My favorite summer beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Anyone in the Buffalo/Rochester area needs to check out Big Ditch Brewing's beer. It's my favorite. My best friend's brother is the head brew-master and they do a great job, especially with their IPA's. If you're a fan of DIPA, Deep Cut is amazing and won the award for best heavy IPA in NYS. Their regular IPA called Hayburner is always fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) You need to try the Sour Monkey...it is a very nice twist   Sour monkey is much higher than Golden Monkey in my rotation. And I've never had a sour aside from the monkey so I'm certainly no connoisseur. Edited May 29, 2017 by RaoulDuke79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I tried a beer today that tasted like watermelon. What is this world coming to? We've had a few different fruity beers in the office lately and I tried a watermelon one too - don't get the appeal at all. But still, it's free beer, at work. Fortunately we also have Lagunitas and other varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
