One of Unibroue's best for sure, just behind the Terrible for me.

Yeah I think peaches and nectarines could get me to ignore pretty much any pricetag. I honestly don't think I've ever had a Goose Island beer, though a lot are pretty common near me. Hopefully by some miracle I'll find some BCBS when it hits California this year.

Drinking some Smuttynose PA, some of the better IPAs I've had. mmmm

Pretty much everything by Unibroue is amazing.
But Zombie Dust isn't made on the West Coast...
i got you hrd, hit me on pm, i'll send you out a box of smashers
There are lot of things including a good Flanders Red or Belgian Trippel.
I picked up the same haul this past week. Looking forward to trying some of them. I hear Lolita is going to be a year round now.
They are quite pricey though.
Fair enough. IPA is my favorite style of beer, and when I hit up the store and see something like a 6 pack of Racer 5 selling for ~$7, it really makes my decision on what to buy pretty easy.

Just drank one. That is a good beer.

Highly hopped and darker beers are much more forgiving when brewing and will hide poor ingredients, process or mistakes better than other ones.
Not to say West Coast-style IPAs aren't bad. Just some can be a bit unrefined.

Only one shipment came to Australia this year and I missed out.

I'm a bit tipsy. Boneyard beer is good. I also beat SteamWorld Dig today, so I'm celebrating. Wow.

Boneyard rules.

It is a nice place to have a beer or two - farmland out on the edge of the Hill Country.
The Funk & Sour Fest was "interesting" - a great beer lineup, great food & atmosphere as expected, but horrible lines for certain elements.
Because of scalping/resale problems in the past that people complained about, everyone had to provide ID & get checked off a list at the gate causing a /long/ line (upto 2 hours allegedly).
The beer was split between three lines (A/B/C) with the interesting beer spread across the three. Line C was the closest to the entrance & also had a 'secret surprise' that we all got one blue ticket for (Cantillon Gueze....). Line C's line was ridiculous for most of the afternoon - twice the length of B. B was often twice the length of A... People consistently ignored A for some reason, and it had the best beer at the fest - Jester King's Apricot sour.
The "bottles to go" line was even longer than C for most of the fest & I'd say it was a good two hour wait. There was a limited edition two bottles for presold VIPs & a limited edition of another JK bottle, as well as a bunch of other rare sours for Texas. Slow, slow, slow going. Jester King have apologised profusely for this (and the head guy apologised in person to me & a buddy as we walked around the brewery).
But it was worth it... The beers rocked... The atmosphere was cool... The food was good...

Got a four pack of Dog Fish Head Olde School tonight.
Barleywine made with figs and dates. Basically tastes like a quad. 15% ABV. Yeah, one bottle is enough for the night.

Ahh I envy you, I've been watching the brewers tv show and maaan I wanna try some of their beers, Wells (UK brewers) brewed up a batch of their New World IPA and it was fucking fantastic
Stumbled across this during my interneting last night, seems like a pretty splendid way to communicate with ale drinkers around the UK, good potential if enough people get on to it!
if anyone in nj or pa can find any remaining bottles of this stuff, i definitely suggest checking it out. one of the best pumpkin beers i've had

just got an email offer for Cascade's Pumpkin Sour, unfortunately i'm all pumpkin'd out

Pumpkin Smash is awesome, but I can't imagine drinking a whole 750 ml bottle of it.
yeah, i doubt you pay $32 for it on the west coast either. too steep for pumpkin beer

Bottles are actually $30 at the brewery, the only place that it's legally being sold. Cascade's prices have been increasing the last year.

Bottle of this is $9.50. Can't afford it right now unfortunately.
Three of the sisters arrived in town today, but there's no way I'm paying that much for a bottle or beer or three. I ended up grabbing a Sam Adams Winter Lager and some Tallgrass Ethos IPA.

Like I said, tastes like a quad (slightly bitter, but more sweet than bitter), but the kick from the ABV hits after a bit. Quite nice.

Drinking a beer... Base Camp's In Tents IPL. It is stronger than their Rye Pils, that's for sure. $4.49 is a bit better value than $9.50 for the size of bottle. Also got a Mickey's Malt Liquor for later... Happy Halloween!

And a bottle of this:

oh sweet!! it's that time of year when the larger breweries come out with their best stuff
sam adams winter lager too pls
Winter Lager is on the shelves here. Apparently SA's Octoberfest is more popular than their Summer Ale. It seemed like it took a while for stores to get rid of their bombers of the Summer Ale and switch to Octoberfest. And now we're already on to the Winter Lager...oh sweet!! it's that time of year when the larger breweries come out with their best stuff

Is the Gingerbread Stout good? It sounds like it, so hopefully it will show up here.

Pretty good. Very slight bitterness, some sweet, but more spice than anything. So much like Fat Jack in that regard. Basically tastes like a potent gingerbread cookie.

Tonight from Green Flash Brewing Company I'm having Green Bullet, which reports itself as a "Triple IPA".
That's a whole lot of green.
As expected, it's nearly undrinkable. I guess it's interesting to see just how far the style can be taken though.
I also got Coffee Ale from Boulevard, although I'm not drinking it tonight.
My store also has an ale aged in Wild Turkey barrels, made by Anderson Valley, one of my favorite breweries. I really want to give that one a try.

It's nowhere near being one of the best bourbon barrel stouts out there but it's pretty tasty (though kinda thin and bourbon-heavy) and pretty cheap for its style at around 10 dollars a bomber where I am. A while ago I had a sour barrel-aged stout of theirs on tap somewhere and it was incredible, though.
I was at this beer tasting today and my girlfriend wanted me to pick up some banana bread beer while I was there. One of the guys from the tasting saw me buying it and told me he heard it's really good if you mix it with Young's Double Chocolate Stout so I grabbed a can on my way out without looking at the price. $10 for a single can of this ghetto looking shit, it better be good.

$10 for a can and with that low of an ABV? It better taste like fucking heaven.

Where do you live?
A can of that should not cost $10.
Not a bad beer but definitely not worth $10 a can.
