Since then, I've been endlessly reminding myself to buy it, but she doesn't know that. So when I bring it home she thinks, awh, how thoughtful.

Ned Flanders Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Time for my winter beers: New Belgium Accumulation and Sierra Nevada Celebration. Also liking that winter beer Southern Tier puts out and the Great Lakes Christmas Ale (but it's a bit pricey at $12/six pack). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I've heard people say that this is going to be a hell of a lot better in 4-6 months or longer.

My buddy and I split one Saturday so I guess it was half. Fun little fact about Dorignacs, one of the executives there is a Bills Backer and from Buffalo. I just didnt love it. In general though I don’t love Stouts (I like them). I’d have them ahead of Sours but well behind IPAs. I will buy Breakfast Stout when I see it and but will always buy every IPA if that makes sense? I bought CBS because I felt that I needed to try it. I really enjoyed it but am not dying to do it again.

Every once in a while you need to stray from your wife (IPA), and pay that scabby whore (Porter, Lager, Pils) you see hanging down by Walmart to hoover your bald butler. Snow day today. Schools closed. I just got back from taking the dog for a long walk up at Killington. Just cracked an Otter Creek Drip Drop Coffee Stout (Middlebury, VT) and it’s amazing.

The Poojer Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I don't know about that. I am also all about IPA's, but sometimes you just can't beat a good pilsner, done right, they can be incredibly crisp and refreshing. As far as sours, i am always too scared to commit to a full pour, so i normally go with tasters whenever i see one that catches my eye. I did have a really good wit the other day at Tired Hands, it was damn good 16 minutes ago, Jay_Fixit said: Bro, I’m all about the IPA. I’d !@#$ing bathe in that ****. Blaspheme!!!

LB3 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I tried a 6 pack of Victory's Sour Monkey on Thanksgiving. It was the first sour I'd ever had. It was pretty good. Though i should not have drank the whole 6 pack in one sitting. Family game night while home for the holidays will do that to you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The only IPA I can honestly say I enjoyed was Sam smiths India ale and only because they don’t overdo the hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know what the alcohol percentage was until after I'd had 4 and was surprised how buzzed I was. Luckily, the whole family was drunk so if I was an idiot they were too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard rumors about it, but haven’t been able to find it until last night. Apparently, Magic Hat releases a limited edition raspberry stout every year around the holidays. My beer guy only got 12 four packs, and I got the last one this afternoon. Going to give it a try tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Strangeways as they have a lot of good sours and funky beers, but Cletus more a hophead i think. We shall see. Going to change starting place to Ardent as I like their outdoor space(nice out today) and can start with a nice Saison before hitting the hops!!!
