The Autumn Wind
I won't disagree that those are pretty good, but a couple of standouts don't make up for overall underwhelming lineups to me. To each their own.

I managed to order one to the store, and picked it up today. I'll see it as a late birthday gift to myself, and I don't think I'll drink it until a very special occasion. It was very pricey...
Anyway since this is my first "proper" post here I figured I'd show what I currently have:
Today I picked up the Old Rasputin bottle and the three Irish Whiskey Cask bottles. I love their Rum Finish beer, so I'm really curious about this one. Gonna drink one tonight, I think. The wheat beer on the right I bought on a whim and know nothing about, so I'll see when I'll get to it.

Aww yeaahhh, Innis and Gunn is proper good. Only tried three varieties so far, with Rum Finish being my favourite.
Picked up some Ringwood Fortyniner on draught today because I'm at my parents' and they live near the brewery (I still get discount
). I'm also going to try a couple of Shipyard bottles (US craft)... can't remember which ones. Got the Wychwood blonde beer as well because I don't remember trying it, but I might save that for another weekend.
BEEEERRRRR

I just think they're not as trendy these days, but that could change. In 2006, 2007 no one would ever make the claim that either brewery is underwhelming.
Awesome pickup. When you do end up drinking the OR let us know what you think.

I'm drinking one now and yeah, I have to agree.
If things go the way I've planned it won't be for a long time, not until a special occasion. I turned 23 two days ago, and I'm thinking my 25th birthday is a good contender. But if this thread or a successor is still around (and if I remember it) I'll certainly post what I think.
have you had Ol' Chub? Its a game-changer.
Man, I've been following this thread religiously for quite some time now, and every time I pop in, it reminds me how much I regret not being able to get my paws on all these great looking beers from these awesome American breweries.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of craft brewing going on in Denmark, but I'd still like to sample all those beers you guys are posting.
Anyways, grabbed this on my way home today (not my picture - that sucker is already gone).
Pretty good, bit sweet though, brewed on plenty of caramel malts and with a bit of added maple syrup. The name of the beer is actually just Maple Brew.

My head would hurt from all that beer. I can't drink that much anymore. And to be honest, I wouldn't be able to appreciate the uniqueness of each beer after the 3rd one. At that point, I'm just drinking to drink, and I don't like to do that. I stick to 1-2 beers a night, 3 if I'm not driving.

Cantillon makes Blåbær Lambik exclusively for Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. Get on that!
The first 4 were all 4 oz pours and the last 3-4 were only 2oz pours.
Nah, but I'll definitely pick it up now.

You've no right to complain when you've got Mikkeller!
But yeah we've got a lot of great beer going on in Australia too, but it'd be nice to get my hands on some of these I'm seeing too.
Got a few yesterday, first one is a Trois Pistoles I enjoyed their La Fin Du Monde, and this seems like it is up my alley. Also bought a few stouts (Bell's Kalamazoo, Double Cream), Chimay Red, a Saison (forgetting the name of it). And a Mexican Style Stout that has peppers in it. All in all interested to see and taste them as I haven't tried any of them before.
Grabbed these last night:
Nothing new. I just decided to stick with what I know will be good.
Excellent beers. Trois Pistoles shouldn't disappoint.

Southern Tier's "Choklat" is now going into my regular rotation. Wow, good stuff, very chocolatey, and relatively cheap to boot.

Oh - well hell, that's perfect!
We have Mikkeller in the US also. Well, I do anyway!

Had these in Sarasota at this Peruvian restaurant, Was really good surprisingly. Almost had a light molasses taste to it, will be trying again on my return visit in two weeks!

Saw a few bottles of Southern Tier's Gemini still for sale, so I had to pick them up. Delicious beer. I wish it weren't retired.
Thanks for the heads up. I actually had a Red Poppy the other day, think I prefer the Russian River sours though.
Headed down to SD for the day (a baby shower), need anything? Planning to hit Alpine at a minimum but might try and grab bottles from a couple others depending on location

We get a lot in Australia, too. But it's a Danish company (though Mikkel brews with so many other companies it doesn't really count in their instance).

In Stone's case, I can honestly say that I've never had a beer of theirs that I didn't like. That's not to say that I was wowed by each and every one, but I wouldn't say that about anyone. They really are a consistently great brewery. That's my opinion, anyway.

To celebrate Daylight Savings time and also the final few weeks of winter, I decided to pick up this bad boy. Never had it but I heard solid reviews about it.
I also have one bottle of Ol' Rasputin I thought I chugged down several weeks back.

My pickup for tonight:
I'm rocking a huge backlog right now. Not sure what to try tonight. Probably hopslam...Or the weihenstephaner.
edit: I went with hopslam. I'd say it lives up to the hype.
Bigfoot is pretty damn intense IMO. Great sipper.

I've had a few cans of beer now, when I grab them from the fridge and replace it with another one. It's budlight so it might taste really bad sometimes but it feels all warm and fuzzy.

OMG @ that Skyhag bottle art
.I also prefer the Russian rivers to red poppy, but I am curious to see what a year on the shelf will do to it. Thanks for the offer, I am doing a brewery crawl in April between LA and SD so I should be able to grab anything then.

I thought this pic was a couple of breadsticks coming out of the beer, until I realized what it was. And I was mildly intrigued for a moment about that combination.

Trying a Abita Strawberry Lager
It doesn't taste like what I thought it would taste like, was afraid the strawberry flavor would over power the beer making it taste like a damn wine cooler. If proved me wrong, I admit.
The beer is seasonal, so if you see it. Give it a try, its beer with a hint of strawberry. Not tart, no tang, just smooth beer.

Definitely. I made it through two in about two hours, then took another two hours to finish a third. That was definitely my limit. Now I've got a lonely bottle for next week.

I had no idea fruit (berry) beer even existed. Looks interesting.

Enjoy! They're all fantastic.
Thanks. Hopefully I won't like them too much, or I might have to start ordering from Europe
Grimm Brothers Brewing in Colorado is interesting. Not your usual selection and its a brave list of beers in this hoppy/pale ale world.
Had the Little Red Cap which wasn't a style I'd tried before (alt bier). Didn't really do it for me but matched the style description. Guess that's not a style for me. Malty without bitterness, very light hops and not heavy.
Hefe was excellent- loved it.
Porter wasn't something I tried but my friends enjoyed it and found it smoother than Left Hand Black Jack.
Forgot to try 400lb monkey from left hand but will get to that next time I visit. Like the sound of English style IPA.
