Balzac Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Basically anything by Captain Lawrence and/or Great Divide works for me (though I'm partial to the imperial IPAs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Had a Jackie O's night at a brewery last night. Oro Negro - chile spiced imperial stout. delicious Bourbon Barrel Black Maple - imperial porter with maple aged in bourbon barrels...pretty self-explanatory. delicious Mandala - Double IPA with simcoe hops. awesome!

nogohawk Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 got me a 4 pack of Heady Topper ready to go to start the season then a fresh 12 pack of Shape of Hops to Come for Sunday hops + football = heaven had Shape on tap a few weeks ago at a local pub and I think its about as close to Heady as you can get. But I don't think they distribute widely in PA but can pick it up at the brewery outside of Phila ... road trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We tried an assortment of Pumpkin beers today. Southern Tier Pumking - Super sweet tasting Rogue Pumpkin Patch Ale - Bitter beer with suprisingly little pumpkin/yam taste Dogfish Head Punkin Ale - Even blend of ale & pumpkin (my favorite of the day, which really wasn't saying much) Lakefront Brewing Pumpkin Lager - Over spiced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 soooo you're saying you don't like pumpkin flavored beer? Oh I love pumpkin beers. We've brewed the Smashing Pumpkin from Northern Brewers twice now and it was good both times. 2nd time we steeped pumpkin in the wort to add to the flavor. But the Rogue and Lakefront brews were disappointing. Southern Tier is good if you can stand sweet, and I would easily kick back with a pack of the Dogfish Head but I wouldn't go out of my way for it though. Best pumpkin I've had is from Wild Onion Brewery but they're still pretty local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Had lots of good Pumpkin beers last week for CBW one of the best was Pumpkin Chucker, a pumpkin stout from Fat Head's Southern Tier's Pumking was the gold standard. I swear I could taste the whipped cream. Their Warlock is a pumpkin stout and you should be able to find it in bottles if you found Pumking. Warlock's a 10% beer this year. Last year's was 8.6%, which is how you can tell if you're getting old or new. I found myself staying away from the pumpkin stuff though and was getting more into Sours...but, ya just can't keep drinking sours without getting an upset stomach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Had Racer X last night, the Double IPA from Bear Republic I believe, the maker of Racer 5 I enjoyed it, had 2 pints. Definitely would drink again, just not a beer to drink in heavy quantities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Man I haven't been to the tailgate in a while or read this thread, lots of catching up to do... I like the build your own six pack at my local Giant Eagle grocery, for $10.99. Often I grab mostly beers that cost 12+ a six anyway and get them at a bargain. Also good way to try new things without buying a 6 or 12. I laugh when I see stuff like Bud, Mike's Hard Lemonade or even Sam Adams in the rack. Still drinking some of the last of Octoberfest beers now and have a couple samples from Brecks brewery in Breckenridge CO, an IPA and a Christmas Ale. My brother was in the store one day and called me as he remembered I mentioned Lagunitas, he bought some of their stuff (Dogtown Pale maybe) and liked them all. We were visiting with another brother from California where he had brought some Lagunitas and he was like "Oh yeah Lagunitas is mucho bueno".

stevegrab Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Oktoberfest hasn't officially started, but the brews are in the stores now. We usually have an Oktoberfest Bracket in September with 16 different marzens/octoberfests. Leinenkugel, Yuengling, Sam Adams & Shiner were the breweries whose offerings made it to the final 4 last year. What's YOUR favorite marzen? Ok, as I continue reading it seems I haven't been gone from this thread as long as I thought, maybe just most of football season. Must be all the beer and whiskey I've been drinking to drown my sorrow over the horrilble Browns. Didn't see Yuengling Octoberfest in stores much until this year, now one of my favorites right there with Leine. Great Lakes pretty sure I had some of those too, as well as some from Thirsty Dog (Akron) called Barktoberfest The last month or so I had more IPA/PA/Oktoberfest in the house than plain lager. That's a first for me. Now home to see what's in the fridge waiting for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
