Puddy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 First time I've had it and I am pretty impressed. Really liked their Sunset Wheat this summer and this brew is a very nice winter beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policyvote Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I pimped this beer in the 'microbrews' thread . . . I know Lienie's isn't really a microbrewery, but their seasonals are twice as good as anything in their price range, and frequently better than stuff that costs twice as much. I am LOVING the Fireside Nut Brown; it's outstanding football beer and a great pair with autumn/winter food (like turkey!). ETA: I have a couple left out of a sixer of it in the fridge . . . well, better make that one!

loaf Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Most Wonderful Time of the Beer Lakefront Brewery - Holiday Spice Lager Beer - awesome stuff. If you can find it, try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policyvote Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 A-B's Bourbon Cask Ale is a good one. I also like Black Dog's Winter Cheer. Oh, and to pile on the Magic Hat love, I picked up a six of their Roxy Rolles Seasonal Hoppy Amber last night. I'm sad that this means the end of the Jinx Strong Autumnal Ale, but *whew* is it good. Magic Hat's stuff all hits right in my wheelhouse. Peace policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Goose Island Harvest Ale. I can't get enough of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Enjoy it while you can, it is leaving the Milwaukee market mid-December. I'm guessing it will last out a bit longer in other areas. Being replaced by Leinie's 1888 Bock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being replaced by Leinie's 1888 Bock. I think I'll go pick up a few cases then. Wouldn't mind having it on hand until March or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember how well Leinie's dark beers keep. Shouldn't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 My favorite beer is Newcastle, are they similar at all? I'll have to pick some up for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 My favorite beer is Newcastle, are they similar at all? Very. IMO Newcastle is better, but Firenuts does not suck by any stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 My favorite beer is Newcastle, are they similar at all? I'll have to pick some up for the weekend. I went to get the Fireside tonight and my closest beer store was out Figured I'd try the Newcastle on your recommendation. I agree with Chavez, they are very similar. I think I like the Leinenkugel a little more (better aftertaste IMO). Still, the Newcastle is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I couldn't find this anywhere here today. I did buy a six of the Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale. Haven't cracked one yet as they were warm and are now chilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If you ever get a chance you should try Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale. Pretty good stuff, but very hard to find outside of Ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
