Zooty Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I thought Pliny was famously also distributed to the Philly area? nope, PA is regulated statewide and rarely available. It has popped up at beer events but usually by the keg. Pretty sporadic on the east coast as a whole in my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Firestone Walker has made plans to partner with Duvel. Hopefully, this means we'll see some of it in OH. Now, all we need to do is drop the stupid ABV limits and we can get the really good stuff, like Parabola http://news.firestonebeer.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Brewing a dubbel tomorrow. First time adding honey in, so I'm hoping it will be a good batch and ready by draft day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedMercs Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Brewing a dubbel tomorrow. First time adding honey in, so I'm hoping it will be a good batch and ready by draft day. Honey should give a nice bump to the ABV... or so I've been told by friends who brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Went on a small but expensive buying spree on Sunday. Found this Sour in a 12.7 oz bottle: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22893/173869/ Got this from Rivertown in Cinci: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22157/84292/ but I don't remember mine being barrel aged. It may be. I bought one of these for a good time: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/14879/57110/ and I also got a Three Floyds Zombie Dust 12 oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Oh, I forgot I have tried the Dog Fish Head 61http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/64/91677/ Interesting. Not bad and had a nice taste. Wouldn't want to drink many but it's a nice change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've had the 61, I liked it a lot. I also bought Ballast Point's Calm Before The Storm http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/199/169625/?ba=wulfie85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningMud Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Not as adventurous as some of you, but I am very happy that Sam Adams Summer Ale is back. Anyone suggest anything similar to that or like Breck's Avalanche Ale that I would like? I just can't enjoy a dark beer or a sweet beer or an IPA.

Anyone suggest anything similar to that or like Breck's Avalanche Ale that I would like? I just can't enjoy a dark beer or a sweet beer or an IPA. Fat Tire? Left Hand Brewing had some stuff on par with Sam Adams IMO Maybe try any seasonal Kolsh. Maybe pilsners or pale or American Ales. That's what I feed my neighbors who are Yuengling and Sam Adams drinkers Edited July 31, 2015 by Zooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 http://www.evilgeniusbeer.com/current.html Evil Genius Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter. Yuck. Not even close to the offering from Terrapin or Sweet Baby Jesus. From a bottle- Kind of flat tasting, very little chocolate or PB flavor. The name was the best part, Chocolate Monkey Dishwasher. More like dishwater. Looked at reviews on BA and people generally liked it. Ehhh, maybe the bottle I got had been sitting I'll probably try some of their other stuff since they are local but not promising so far.

Big Country Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 so Ballast Point's Calm Before The Storm is now my favorite beer... I've found just about everything Ballast Point does is pretty good. Had their Double IPA the other night, I believe it is called Dorado, and I enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dorado is tasty too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I know this isn't an IPA or super trendy beer/microbrew, but my go to for a hot day (or night) is quickly becoming Kona Big Wave Golden Ale. Fairly low ABV at I believe 4.7%, but tastes good to me. Even more so after running practices outdoor or while grilling some burgers/dogs/steaks.

DisplacedMercs Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 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?

loaf Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 So, I had some 2014 and 2015 Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout. The 2014 had mellowed nicely. The 2015 was still "hot" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I just bought Pirate Noir from Prairie Artisan Ales. Rum barrel aged imperial stout. Can't wait to try it. Also got the 7th Planet in the Bell's Planet series, Neptune. I've been pretty underwhelmed by the series save for a couple. This one has rave reviews though. It's a stout with peppers and dates and raisins and maple syrup and other ingredients...probably going to be a draft night drinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octoberfest ends in early October, so getting an early start here in the US is fine by me, On the dot of 12 noon on Saturday, September 19th, Munich’s mayor Dieter Reiter will tap the first barrel thus declaring the "Wiesn“ - as the Munich people call it – officially open.

Big Country Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Next Thursday one of our local spots is having a Russian River night...... tapping at least 4 of their brews, but have not announced which ones. I have a dinner meeting elsewhere at 7, so hoping that it doesn't run too late so I can get over there and squeeze in for a couple pours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
