Finally got my beer bread made!
We have:
Moose Drool + Sharp cheddar
Lagunitas Maximus + Gorgonzola
Blue Blood Stout + Aged Gouda
Summit Maibock + Gruyere
These are going to serve as sustenance while I pour at Omaha's extreme beerfest for 5 hours. Wish me luck!

Agree completely about not being that impressed by them. Most of the beers of theirs that I have tried are very one note. They seem to want to put out way too many beers/variants without taking the time to get them right. If you like the one note of a particular beer it is fine (as I did with the Portola Casa de Lima and Ichigo Highway) but there is not a lot going on beneath the surface.

Holy shit. Yum!
Yeah, and for ridiculous prices :O Easily one of the most overhyped breweries

Washington brewer's open house today. Drinking a 575 barley wine at Fremont and then going on the brewery tour.

All the luck in the world won't be better than the combination of fresh baked beer bread and a beerfest. Have fun!
I really want to do this now.

Taking an all day beer bus tour tomorrow of American River Brewing Co, Hoppy Brewing Co, Rubicon Brewing Co, and Pyramid Brewing Co. Can't wait 
.
.Yah that must be it, I'm extremely fortunate that we have a great bar here that does growler fills of la folie for 16$ so I've been able to get it almost anytime I want.
The Bruery is so tough for me because I really like that they try new things but almost everything I have tasted is just one level below being awesome. With the exception of Ichigo highway ( It's basically liquid plastic that had a hint of strawberry flavor ) which I thought was absolutely horrid, everything else I've had is just ALMOST there, its just always missing something for me.
Lagunitas Maximus is probably my favorite IPA. God damn I wish I could taste that bread. I'm sure it'll do well.

Think I whiffed on the Erdinger, but I'm excited to try the Houblon Chouffe
Also, that beer bread looks AMAZING
I've had bigfoot once and holy shit.
Really intense flavor. Definitely a sipper.
edit:
I could only find Duvel in a gift pack.
But the glass is awesome so who cares. I also picked up some stouts that caught my eye.
My fridge is packed atm
The barrel aged Bigfoot is something else.

Good to know. The Houblon is the same way, just kinda nursing it, very complex. It's a Tripel IPA? It certainly tastes like a hybrid of fhe two. Can't say I've ever tasted anything like this

I gotta try making that sometime
Definitely. One of my faves for sure
I will say, I had White Oak Sap (BA White Oak) last time I went to their tasting room and thought it was pretty damn incredible.
Probably the only Bruery beer that I would go out of my way to track down.

So I have the option to pick up one of these in the beginning of March. I live in Sweden so they only imported a very limited supply, and it's pretty pricey. I remember liking the regular variant quite a bit, would this be worth picking up?

Dear God, yes, grab this if you can. It's amazing.
I tried Old Rasputin last year when I was in California and it was fantastic. I would love to get my hands on a bottle of the barrel-aged stuff.

Alright, I'll do my best then. Unfortunately I looked again and there's only three stores that carries it and none of them is near me. Since they haven't started selling it yet I don't know if I can order it to a store near me, so I really hope that I can.
Wow! Made my first ever beer bread with an English ordinary bitter (home brewed) this afternoon. Worked really well and actually tasted more like a scone than bread. Made with baking powder as I didn't have any bread yeast.
Yummy and will be trying IPA and blue cheese.

It's good, but I honestly prefer the "regular" Old Rasputin. It might benefit from aging for a while.

It's not legally distributed to New York, so probably not. Best bet is to go to Philadelphia (only Eastern state to get RR) and hope to get lucky.

2/15/13 was good. I like that they're actively advertising the importance of drinking IPAs fresh.
...sounds delicious.
I've never had Pabst Blue Ribbon, which I assume you're talking about.
PBR light is where it's at
Houblon Chouffe is really nice. It's like a great tripel and an IPA had a baby and you're drinking it.

Snagged a bottle of Bottleworks XIV at Bottleworks. Cascade made it, its a wild ale aged in port and bourbon barrels. $30 for a 750 ml. Yeah.

That's exactly how I'd describe it. Both the Houblon and the Bigfoot took me about half an hour to drink. Really big flavors on both. I'm getting kind of interested in trying out some of the Trappist stuff but man... This is gonna be costly :l
Pray; do tell! Kinda curious about the Kalamazoo stout too. I might crack open the Bell's Best Brown tonight but man... Wish I had stocked up a few bottles of that Hopslam
Glad I'm not the only one. Have you tried it? Is it worth it?

I haven't tried the Kalamazoo yet but I hear Hopslam is amazing. I might pick it up next.
As for the darkness...A 750ml bottle set me back $30 plus tax.

Kalamazoo stout is awesome, the licorice taste is barely present, which is a good thing and somehow it really helps with the balance. One of the most balanced stouts I've had in terms of alcohol presence, chocolate, and a bit of either molasses and or brown sugar. When I don't want to get extremely drunk off of Old Rasputin, I'll resort to the Kalamazoo
...Hopslam is over appreciated. So many of these IPAs throw balance right out of the window.

I had it on tap at Bottleworks (it's the 14th Anniversary party today -- bottleshop in Seattle) along with Bottleworks XII, an Imperial Wit aged with raspberries. Best beer I've ever had from the Bruery. Wow.
XIV isn't very tart, just a hint of acetic acid along with port and bourbon notes. Really nice. I only bought one bottle, will hang on to it for a special occasion with friends.
Lost Abbey is doing Bottleworks 15 next year, and it sounds like Alpine has a super double IPA for Bottleworks 16.
Don't beat yourself up. I mean you can always save beers for special occasions, but I started buying too many and then you just have stock of beers you aren't drinking. Eventually they actually get harder to crack as the older they are the rarer they are and you start thinking about things like "This is worth $$$ in trade value I could get something sweet!" or "This is my last one I have to keep it"... but the point of beer is to drink it.
If I get multiple of something rare, I'll save/age one. But I am going to enjoy one right away!
