mmm mmm mmm!

I came home with a 4 pack of the breakfast stout which only cost $15 and they're like 8 oz bottles :D

but what a taste!

There was an urbock (never heard of that style) that was smoky and reminded me of smoked cheddar. Weird but decent. Most of the beers were excellent. I skipped all the IPAs as I just don't like my beer that hoppy. I go for the darker brews which is why I came home with the breakfast stout.

just got this in:

 

Loaf,

 

I forgot three others...

 

Buckeye Hippie IPA

Buckeye Martian Marzen

Buckeye "76" IPA

 

 

I've never heard of 99% of those but am truly expecting an out of body experience.

 

I'm glad you included this as even though i'm not a beer drinker, I hadn't heard of any of them.

they only give you about an ounce of each....but there's no limit :D

 

A friend of mine was telling me that it's impossible to try a lot of beers at Oktoberfest in Germany because the smallest beer you can get looks like this.

I know this is going to sound blasphemous, but most of those German Oktoberfest beers taste pretty much the same anyway. (And in fact, they don't taste too much different from the normal versions of the beer.)

 

One of the first things I will do when I get back to America is consume some IPA's because they seemingly just aren't available over here.

that is somewhat true of all the german styles. compared with the american craft brew phenomenon, uniqueness isn't really the goal, but excellence in fidelity to an existing standard.

 

but, are you saying in the parentheses that the marzens don't taste much different than the pilseners? that i can't agree with at all.

I don't know about the Oktoberfest selection, but I visited Germany once about 8 years ago. I stayed in a small town south of Frankfurt called Saarbrucken. Every restaurant I ate at offered a pint of microbrew that was brewed on the premises. Most were Hefeweitzens, and they were AMAZING.

 

you know how sometimes your mouth starts watering and you "gleek"? your picture just made me gleek on my monitor.

 

sweet. . .

Yes--and it gets boring after a while.

I think I am close to pulling an "irish wink" here... for some unknown reason, in my brain I was thinking about the German Christmas "festbiers" when I was typing up "Oktoberfest" beers. :D I agree that you were right to disagree with what I wrote. :wacko:
