Great Beer....the sequel

[Willy4UK]

Tonight...
Lagunitas Pils...solid

Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Ale... I wish santa had kept this one to himself.

I get so disappointed with Rogue anymore. Actually their Dead Guy ale was one of my originals. But it's like Heart disease these days, and that makes me sad

Delish. Comes with a little plastic goat necklace.

I've had it since then. Freaking amazing.

Also, relatively recently I went through a variety pack from Unibroue brewery. Great across the board. Of course their headliner is "La Fin Du Monde," which is stunning. And I'm searching for "A tout la monde," which is a special edition tripel collaboration between Unibroue and Dave Mustaine from Megadeth.....but Lexington just hasn't brought it in yet.

We got it down here. But I won't buy it because it only has 4.5% abv. I was kinda shocked a Megadeth beer would be that weak. It should be about 15%

I like La Fin Du Monde. It's what started my transition to the higher abv beers.

La Fin Du Monde rocks.

I drank Dead Guy last night. Surprisingly good, but not a go-to.

If you're in Louisville, just skip the rest of the breweries here and go directly to Monnik Beer Company. Its the Louisville location of The Beer Engine from Danville, and IMO, it is the best in the city and they keep destroying every one of my "I hate this kind of beer" stereotypes.
. .

Visited Monnik tonight. I drank Mild George, which is only 4.2 %, but wonderful in the 20 oz glass. Only had one beer because I drove. Great experience. Thanks!

Lagunitas Pils...solid

Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Ale... I wish santa had kept this one to himself.

I've never had a Lagunitas beer that I didn't like.

 

[Willy4UK]

Austin- Got a couple of 5 Beans tonight.

 

[Willy4UK]

Got a Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot

11% Barleywine. Nice flavor. Man, Barleywines have such an awesome distinct taste.

Here's how it goes for me

1a. Imperial stouts
1b. Barleywines
2 Triple Ipas
3. Belgian trips/quads
4.Dipas
5. Imperial everything else (porters, pils, etc)

Just a quick short list.

Austin- Got a couple of 5 Beans tonight.

Oh yes. Most excellent.

 

[Willy4UK]

Just had one of these. 5 stars. Rich in flavor. Almost 15% abv. Wow.

Today...

Stone Enjoy by 12-25-2016...awesome but dangerous at 9.4%. Highly recommend.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale...terrific as always.

They had some Dogfish Head World Wide Stout that people were making a big deal about in the store earlier this week, but I didn't snag any.

 

[We-Todd-Did]

Best thing I've tried in quite a while - Against the Grain 35k milk stout.

Earlier this year, I brought a can back from KY and drank on April 30. Rated it 4.5/5 stars. Really interesting sweet notes. Good stuff.

 

[weused2luvhim2]

Picked up a 4 pack of 16oz cans of Evile Twin brewing's Even More Jesus. Imperial stout 12%. Nothing to screw around with lol. It was a very good stout. Not as good as Narwhal which I can't find this year or founders breakfast stout. But very good.

 

[weused2luvhim2]

Drank 2 killer beers tonight here on the Kentucky-Tennessee-Virginia border. First up was Dogfish Head World Wide Stout. Kick-ass. Had to split it with a relative . Second was Ommegang Three Philosophers. Incredible . Listening to the Ellis Brothers here at a private southern rock jam just for me.

Life is good.

How much was that World wide stout? I saw it the liquor barn in Bowling Green and it was $10 for a 12 oz bottle. I left it there.

I paid $9.99 for a 12 oz bottle of World Wide Stout at Pappy's in Ewing, VA near the Cumberland Gap. Complex and strong. Roasty notes. Truly developed for cellaring. Shared the bottle with my former brother in-law. Honestly, not worth the $10. Perhaps $6-8.

No more Bell's Best Brown Ale til next year

 

[AustinTXCat]

No more Bell's Best Brown Ale til next year

Drank it back home on November 21st. Great stuff.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Currently working on a New Belgium Voodoo Ranger 22 oz bomber. $4.89/bottle. Decent. Nice kick. Smooth. Checking in shortly.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just drank Founders Lizard of Koz. Holy shit, what a masterpiece of a beer.

hahaha, just had one 4 days ago. Pretty solid

Still drinking on the 6-pack of Dogfish Head Beer for Breakfast Stout. Great stuff.

Let's consider Ocean Sun Brewing next month. They are open on 01/16, I think.

 

[AustinTXCat]

New Shiner Birthday Beer release. Distribution is usually slow, so we may see it around here next month.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Saint Arnold Bishop's Barrel #16. Difficult to locate outside Texas. Awesome Dubbel. One of the better examples from this American interpretation..

 

[AustinTXCat]

As promised, working on a Shiner Holiday Cheer, 2016 release. As good as usual. Merry Christmas, my fellow Great Beer drinkers.

 

[We-Todd-Did]

Found some Brooklyn Oktoberfest in the fridge I forgot about and it ranks as my best Oktoberfest. Smooth, with a finish like walnut. Not walnut like from Kroger, but walnut like when I was cracking them for my grandmother on the family farm. Absolutely fantastic memories, so I'm saying that this is perfection for me.

 

[AustinTXCat]

@Willy4UK : Working on my second Saint Arnold Devine Reserve #17. Excellent porter. 9.2% ABV. I'll save one for ya out of the 6'er. Need a couple after this debacle of a loss.

 

[TransyCat09]

Space Dust is in Lexington

We now have 6'ers of Space Dust in Austin, too.

Good deal man. That beer you gave me was effing spectacular. I just finished the belco and english. Excellent. What is the names of those so I can add them to Untappd?

Glad ya liked 'em, bro. Names and links below.

Austin Beerworks Heavy Machinery Belgian IPA.

[UKraziest]

Hopslam. Lots and lots of hopslam. Bought several cases so I don't have to chase it like years past.

Man, good for you. I drank Hopslam a couple years ago, as my little brother purchased a case. Awesome. Bell's is coming here to Texas later this year.

 

[Willy4UK]

Hopslam. Lots and lots of hopslam. Bought several cases so I don't have to chase it like years past.

Use to be my favorite beer. Still in my top 5, but I've had a some imperial stouts that now take the cake.

How much for a 6'er? I pay about $22.

 

[UKraziest]

Yeah, definitely top 5 for me too. Obviously gotta be careful with them though, as they are damn smooth and very potent.

I got all of mine for $19/sixer. Seems like there were more available this year, or maybe I just got lucky as I tracked the release date and checked multiple stores. Also, last year most places limited you to one sixer, but this year the limit was two, or even a case.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Lenin's Revenge from Buffalo Bayou, Houston. Not as good as Marshal Zhukov (thanks, Willy), but still awesome.

@Willy4UK : I'll bring a bottle for ya when I come out in June.

 

[jameslee32]

Bockfest in 7 days!!!! Befriend a monk!

March is so freakin' awesome.

 

[weused2luvhim2]

Ran up on some Hopslam yesterday. I figured I had missed out this year. Love that stuff
