Inveigh: Beer And Music

Inveigh 02.20.12	what you got sputnik
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.20.12	I worked part time at a liquor store. I've had the Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. 3 of them and you're good to go. So delicious. Also the Celebration Ale is good too. I'd recommend trying Flying Fish Company (Anything made by them is awesome)
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.20.12	Also Clown Shoes makes an 18% alcohol brew...it's terrible. But kicks your ass if you drink enough.
fsharptrit0ne 02.20.12	hows that clown shoes. i rec southern tier 2x ipa. had the trappist rochefort 8 the other day. was delicious
Inveigh 02.20.12	"Mountain Dew. Kicks beers ass if you ask me." technically i did ask but i'm definitely not happy with your answer dan: my issue with clown shoes (indirectly) is that the liquor stores near me all have really old bottles of most of their stuff, like over a year old. so there's quite a few i want to try, but just haven't. I've had the 120 minute IPA as well, it rules. Just expensive. I'll have to check out Flying Fish, not familiar with them. Wear are they from?
sniper01 02.20.12	firestone walker double jack double ipa. right now that's my favorite beer. one of the best i've ever had.
Inveigh 02.20.12	I actually almost picked up a bullet of that today sniper
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.20.12	New Jersey - http://flyingfish.com/ And yeah, I know what you mean about the clown shoes. Half the bottles we had made by clown shoes were dustier than a haunted house. lol
BallsToTheWall 02.20.12	Steel Reserve...the beer of champions
Inveigh 02.20.12	dude i know they're all covered in dust with like Feb 2011 bottle dates it's frustrating, because they do make some good stuff
Neenahskater 02.20.12	who said klown? Who dunnit?
killrobotmusic 02.20.12	Here's a few I've tried recently that are pretty good... don't know their availability in your area. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (Imperial Stout) Brooklyn Local 2 (Belgian Strong Ale) Dogfish Head Midas Touch (Traditional Ale) Dogfish Head Namaste (Belgian White) Ommegang Seduction (Porter) Paulaner Salvator (Doppelbock) Rouge Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout (Stout) Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale (American Strong Ale) Troegs HopBack Amber Ale (Amber Ale) Unibroue La Fin du Monde (Abbey Tripel) Victory Hop Wallop (Imperial/Double IPA)
killrobotmusic 02.20.12	By the way Dnor if you're looking for something else out of NJ, try the River Horse Hopalotamus Imperial/Double IPA from Lambertville, it's good stuff. Flying Fish makes some good stuff though, they make a specialty beer for the Back Bay Ale House in Atlantic City which is one of the best amber ales I've had.
Inveigh 02.20.12	I'm in Chicago so there is a bit of a midwest bias to my taste (Bells, Founders, Metropolitan, Argus, Goose Island) but I definitely try to branch out as much as possible I'm familiar with most of those breweries but have only had the Oaked Arrogant Bastard out of that list. I'll try some of the others. drinking a Torpedo Extra IPA right now because there's a bunch of them in my fridge, it's always a solid beer
killrobotmusic 02.20.12	Yeah I'm in NY now so I'm pretty well versed with east coast stuff like Ommegang, Dogfish Head, Flying Dog, Brooklyn Brewing Co., and some others but thankfully there's a pretty good selection from all over the country.
AggravatedYeti 02.20.12	Left Hand MS is so fucking good & loving that Ruthless Rye too. I dont think yall get Heavy Seas brews out in Chicago but if you ever see Loose Cannon (purple bottle, pirate on artwork) I think you'll nom in right up homie. So fucking tasty, a floral IPA that is smooth as fuck at 7.75abv. mmmmmm
Inveigh 02.20.12	nice sounds right up my alley, I can probably have my local store order it and dude the Left Hand MS has quickly become one of my favorite beers, I've gone through an obscene amount of the Ruthless Rye already this season
AggravatedYeti 02.20.12	It is easily sippable similar to Guinness in that I cannot house a lot of stouts or porters but both of those are easy going. Granted Left Hand is so much thicker/better but the same idea a sixer isn't that hard to make it through.
Inveigh 02.20.12	exactly I basically treat them like session beers, which is horrible
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.20.12	lol I have like an entire fridge full of Sam Adams Lat.48 IPA and Yuengling right now. I should probably get on drinking those.
Inveigh 02.20.12	wish i could grab some yuengling anytime i wanted
AggravatedYeti 02.20.12	you do. until you can. then the excitement wears off.
Inveigh 02.20.12	well yeah I'm sure that's true, but just as an alternative to heineken or something when I'm drinking with friends
MartiniKisses 02.20.12	I've never heard of any of those beers -_-
Inveigh 02.20.12	lol i see what's going on here
wakeupdead 02.20.12	Miller Genuine Draft, or if you're a cheap bitch Lakeport, also Venom-Black Magic
AggravatedYeti 02.20.12	yuengling is an excellent bar beer. generally everywhere if available in your area and usually cheap + tasty. I can't get it anymore in RI but don't miss it too much.
Shuyin 02.20.12	'any good beer recs?' yes!
patman1001 02.20.12	natty light cause im a broke college kid :(
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.20.12	My favorite bar beer has to be Amber Bach. It's soooo good, especially on draft in a frosty mug
halloway 02.20.12	A few tastees I've had recently: Left Hand - Fade to Black Pepper Porter (vol. III) Lagunitas - Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Lagunitas - Imperial Red (limited edition; totally amazing) Lakefront - IPA (you should be able to get this by you, eh? Milwaukee isn't too far..) Bear Republic - Racer 5 Founders - Backwoods Bastard Founders - Breakfast Stout (Amazing stout) Founders - Double Trouble (if you like really citrusy grapefruity IPAs)
Apollo 02.20.12	Sam Adams Winter Ale is decent Muskoka Dark Ale Chimay Trappist Ale Leffe Brun Warsteiner Dunkel Schneider Weiss
MartiniKisses 02.20.12	Smirnoff Ice is good :)
ThespianLesbian 02.20.12	smirnoff ice lol
jredmond 02.20.12	Great breweries listed here (except Rogue), but you should try to get ahold of some of their other stuff. Founders KBS, CBS (goodluck), Better Half - all the premium shit will blow your mind. World class craft beer. West Coast - Russian River, Lost Abbey, Port Brewing, Ballast Point, Alesmith The Bruery; East coast - CIGAR CITY
MartiniKisses 02.20.12	Wow, this poser dyke followed me in here
halloway 02.20.12	Anchor Steam is like none other if you haven't had that yet either. Gotta have at least one.
jredmond 02.20.12	also, Ratebeer.com is a great reference for finding, reviewing, and logging your beers. If anybody's on it hit me up, same username
jredmond 02.20.12	Bells is great too
Tyrannic 02.20.12	good list, wrote a couple of these down haha
Satellite 02.20.12	bell's ftw
FromDaHood 02.20.12	Oberon, but that might just be a Michigan thing
sniper01 02.20.12	seconding anchor steam. also the 2012 sierra nevada bigfoot is out now and super fuckin' fresh and hoppy and delicious if you see any in your local beer place grab some i've gone through 2 or six-packs between me and a few bros and every bottle is delicious.
jredmond 02.20.12	nah, oberon makes it out to philly atleast. Bells and Lost abbey were the two biggest losses for me (distribution wise) after moving to NYC.
Tyrannic 02.20.12	in honor i've cracked an ice cold fat tire. mmmmm.... ice cold fatties (homer simpson drooling noise)
Satellite 02.20.12	drinking a bell's amber ale right now m/
Tyrannic 02.20.12	bells. less than or greater than fat tire? (quality wise)
Satellite 02.20.12	i'd definitely go with bell's amber ale over fat tire. both are really good, though
Inveigh 02.20.12	yeah I love Lost Abbey too. Bell's Best Brown and Imperial Stout are two of my favorites. I love Founders, have tried all of the ones I can find around here (Red's Rye, Dry Hopped PA, Centennial IPA, Dirty Bastard, Porter, Breakfast Stout, Double Trouble). I really want to try the Curmudgeon, CBS and Backwoods Bastard but seen them around.
Inveigh 02.20.12	yeah Bells amber is better than Fat Tire imo really liked the Snow Day seasonal from New Belgium though
Tyrannic 02.20.12	i know this seems like a stupid statement, but i've never seen bells in the chicago area. i'll be checking my neighborhood obscure-beer place tomorrow though.
snerefedsav 02.20.12	left hand milk stout is pretty delicious. not really a beer connoisseur but the evil twin yin and yang beers are really good, especially if you do it like a black and tan
jredmond 02.21.12	Bells destroys new belgium. Also, not sure if Kuhnhenn is around your area - but everything they make is legit as shit
Inveigh 02.21.12	I'm really not a big fan of most of New Belgium's stuff outside of Ranger as a session IPA and the Snow Day. Their Abbey ales are ok too. Tyrannic: where are you in the Chicago area? I see Bells beers everywhere (grocery stores, small liquor stores, Binny's), it shouldn't be too hard to find.
sniper01 02.21.12	new belgium brews are always hella drinkable but are nothing more that decent in terms of flavor/complexity. i'll take. any sierra nevada offering instead any day.
Inveigh 02.21.12	most definitely, don't think I've ever had anything from Sierra Nevada that wasn't great
random 02.21.12	Earth Crisis style recommends you drink Almond Breeze. That was your random comment.
andcas 02.21.12	half of you can't even legally drink.
ohfoxxxycole 02.21.12	i thought this was 'bear and music' im disappointed
CaptainDooRight 02.21.12	camp lo is old school me and my bro used to jam that back in the days luuuuuuuucccccccciiiiiiiinnnnnniiiiiiiiii
Nikkolae 02.21.12	"I've never heard of any of those beers -_-" [2] carlsberg and heineken mainly but im developing a new found love for dark beer specially mixed with bands like The Secret, Full Of Hell, Grieved and Runes c:
CaptainDooRight 02.21.12	i heard you like other things that are dark too
Nikkolae 02.21.12	your moms anus for example
Inveigh 02.27.12	gonna sip on some dogfish head indian brown ale later today, so pumped
CaptainDooRight 02.27.12	i like water beer
demigod93 02.27.12	we're the brews, sporting anti-swastika tattoos i like stella artois
Inveigh 02.27.12	stella's a decent session beer for sure nothing's better than a nice, dark, high abv brew while listening to Boris though
Spec 02.27.12	Lucky Extra.
sniper01 02.27.12	stella is just about the nicest beer that i would still use to play pong with.
Shuyin 02.27.12	Super Bock owns all of those just saying
sniper01 02.27.12	lol
Inveigh 04.07.12	just enjoyed a Double Dog Double Pale Ale it was satisfying
sniper01 04.08.12	is that actually an ipa or what
Inveigh 04.08.12	nah it's not quite as hoppy as an ipa, it's like an imperial pa or something, it's 11.5% abv flying dog makes it
sniper01 04.08.12	sounds creamy. i love high abv pales.
Inveigh 04.08.12	yea it was definitely flavorful i like flying dog but for some reason i'm always just a tad disappointed with their brews
sniper01 04.08.12	the only one of had of theirs was like their normal pale ale or whatever. doggie style i think it was. pretty decent but i was already pretty drunk when i opened it...
Inveigh 04.08.12	i've had most the ones that you can find around here (prolly around 6-7 varieties) and they're all good, but none of them really wow me
sniper01 05.17.12	listening to debussy and sipping on stone imperial russian stout from a snifter, served at the perfect temperature. heavenly.
sniper01 05.17.12	that comment wow fail
sniper01 05.17.12	i thought we were bros foxxxy but you're different on this account.
sniper01 05.17.12	lol you're alright man. don't mind me i've had a few tonight.
sniper01 05.17.12	i am forced to admit i will take a pbr over pretty much any similar shitty lager. but i don't generally spend money on shitty lagers, except if i'm throwing a party and i don't want all kinds of people drinking my good beers.
andcas 05.17.12	"can never have too many pbr tho im just gonna put that out there" yup.
Spec 05.17.12	pbr is bum
sniper01 05.17.12	i usually buy a case or two when i throw a throw a party but i only drink one myself if i run out of good beer.
Spec 05.17.12	Lucky Extra is the best cheap beer.
Inveigh 08.16.12	yea pbr is never a preferred decision, I only drink it in a lesser of two evils type situation #latetotheparty
omnipanzer 08.16.12	Looks like you can handle IPA so if you can find it definitely try Flying Dog "Double Dog Double IPA". It's a savorer so plan on switching to another after you drink one and pack the rest away for special occasions.
omnipanzer 08.16.12	Of course anything by http://brooklynbrewery.com/ is always fuckin tasty.
Inveigh 08.16.12	I do enjoy a good number of Flying Dog brews, and definitely appreciate their double IPA. I've been drinking more Brooklyn Brewery beers as well, but some of their stuff just isn't adventurous enough for me.
Inveigh 08.16.12	been sipping on Sierra Nevada's Hoptimum on and off throughout the summer, that's a nice Imperial IPA.
omnipanzer 08.16.12	No not adventurous but it is strait up good premium brew. you can go through these lists to find something new if you like. This is my favorite local bar. http://www.bobsbar.com/custom/beer.asp there will be more than a few you've never even heard of guaranteed.
Inveigh 08.16.12	nice, that's a very solid beer list. definitely some I haven't tried on there. here's where I'm heading tonight, they have all their draft beers (yes, ALL of them) for $2 on Thursdays.
omnipanzer 08.16.12	That's pretty bad ass, they remind me of a Winking Lizard.
Inveigh 08.16.12	never heard of or been to a Winking Lizard, but I love their name.
Foxhound 08.16.12	heroin and music....
Spec 08.16.12	A few beers helps you see the good in everything.
Foxhound 08.16.12	a few beers and i call my ex girlfriend, tell her what a damn whore she always waz
omnipanzer 08.16.12	^ you've been hurt... I won't hurt you. =-*
Inveigh 12.10.12	tossing back a Lagunitas Brown Shugga right now, fuckin delectable
Sapientlife 12.10.12	BEER IS GOOD! BEER IS GOOD! AND STUFF!
Inveigh 12.10.12	good beer is good, I can't even tolerate shitty beer at this point
MetallicOpeth 12.10.12	just had a brew called Winter's Beard a double chocolate cranberry stout...it was fucking intense, but delicious
Inveigh 12.10.12	interesting, not sure how I'd feel about the choco-cran combo, but I'm always down to try new stuff. I've gone through about 6 bombers of Three Floyds Alpha Klaus already this year, not to mention countless Celebration Ales. tis the season and such
BallsToTheWall 12.10.12	Porkslap my nigga, porkslap.
Apollo 12.10.12	Fucking love beer. Canadian beers kicking my ass right now: Amsterdam Boneshaker Unfiltered India Pale Ale Granville Island Lions Winter Ale Howe Sound Pumpkin Eater Mill St. Cobblestone Stout Big Wheel Amber Muscoka Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout Muskoka Harvest Ale Hockley Black And Tan Kawartha Lakes Raspberry Wheat St. Peter's Winter Ale London Porter Granville Island Kitsilano Maple Cream Ale Barking Squirrel Lager fuck too many good beers on the go right now to mention
Apollo 12.10.12	FUCK YES METALLIC M/ probably my favourite beer right now
Inveigh 12.10.12	I know practically nothing about Canadian beer my knowledge is of American Craft, with a little bit of UK and German/Dutch/Bavarian in the mix I'll have to seek some of those out Apollo
Apollo 12.10.12	You could help me out too Blake I love American craft but it's so hard to find here
Apollo 12.10.12	Had the Brooklyn black chocolate stout on Saturday night tho, it was phenomenal
sniper01 12.10.12	just had a pliny the elder for the first time the other day, it was fantastic.
Inveigh 12.10.12	yeah that's a great beer, I have two sitting in my fridge right now that I'm holding off on cracking it's probably hard to find where you're at, but if you can get your hands on a Stone Imperial Russian Stout, Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout or a Founders Breakfast Stout, definitely don't pass it up (since it seems like you're more into the darker stout/porter style)
Inveigh 12.10.12	my last post was aimed at Apollo btw, never heard of pliny the elder...
sniper01 12.10.12	stone ris 4.5, lagunitas capp stout 4.25 have you ever had north coast's old rasputin ris? love that shit. also tried the sierra nevada narwhal last week and was pleased to find that it is somewhat unique compared to most (good) imperial stouts.
liledman 12.10.12	How much do you guys pay for this stuff in the states? In Melbourne, at cheapest, I can get a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada pale ale (getting a bit popular here at the moment) for $22. Seriously hampers my efforts to explore international microbreweries and whatnot. If you ever come across Australian beers, or happen to be in Australia, James Squire is our everyman's/most dependable microbrewery, and Mountain Goat is my personal favourite.
CaptainDooRight 12.10.12	some sweet albums on this list
MetallicOpeth 12.11.12	I've actually heard of James squire from some aussies who hated how fosters is advertised as australia's beer ha also hell yea Apollo m/
sniper01 12.11.12	"In Melbourne, at cheapest, I can get a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada pale ale (getting a bit popular here at the moment) for $22. Seriously hampers my efforts to explore international microbreweries and whatnot." ouch. i pay ~$10 for a 6-pack of snpa. less at good liquor stores. that's a serious shame too if most american craft imports are that expensive, and i'm assuming harder to find as well? "If you ever come across Australian beers, or happen to be in Australia, James Squire is our everyman's/most dependable microbrewery, and Mountain Goat is my personal favourite." word.
liledman 12.11.12	Well we have a great chain of stores which is the cheapest place with the best range, and a large one of these stores is in my town so it's all good. You can find quite a bit of Australian and international, but when it comes to craft beers, only the bigger ones are available, like Sierra Nevada. I've looked for Dogfish Head and a few others to no avail.
sniper01 12.11.12	luckily sierra nevada beers are mostly great. i don't think i've ever seen aussie beers besides fosters to my knowledge, which i think is distributed by ab-inbev so no surprises there.
sniper01 12.11.12	http://www.businessweek.com/printer/articles/82076-the-plot-to-destroy-americas-beer people should read this.
liledman 12.11.12	Yeah Fosters is weird though, because it really isn't popular here at all, it's just the chosen export for some reason.
Deviant. 12.11.12	"from some aussies who hated how fosters is advertised as australia's beer ha" hahaha Don't forget VB
VinVal 12.11.12	Dale's Pale Ale Purple Haze Lagunitas Maximus Chimay Rouge Dark Horse Perkulator (Coffee infused; is actually not bad at all) Hill Farmstead Susan
andcas 12.11.12	as an american I can assure you no one drinks fosters.
liledman 12.11.12	"Don't forget VB" Some of us try to. Interesting article, Sniper.
sniper01 12.11.12	i think so too.
Inveigh 12.11.12	sniper: yes, I actually have one or two Old Rasputin's in my fridge right now. can't believe I forgot that one, definitely an essential RIS. I'll have to give that Narwhal a go too, I've never had a Sierra Nevada that I didn't like (excepting the Imperial Pils from their 2012 beer camp, but I don't really care for Imperial Pilsners).
omnipanzer 12.11.12	I spent the weekend drinking Shiner - Holiday Cheer, I wait for it every year. Peaches and pecans = delicious. http://bgood.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/shiner-holiday-cheer.jpg
Inveigh 12.11.12	nice, I do enjoy that brew omni. I spend all year waiting for Alpha Klaus and Sierra Nevada Celebration.
sniper01 12.11.12	yeah celebration is great
Inveigh 12.11.12	have you tried Stone's Enjoy By IPA? ridiculously good
omnipanzer 12.11.12	I keep wanting to try Stone because the have a great rep but it's so expensive. I need to find a place that has it on tap or something.
Inveigh 12.11.12	yea it's not cheap, the best way to do it is trying a 22 oz bomber of Arrogant Bastard. It's generally like $4.99 that Enjoy By IPA goes for like $6.99 I think... Three Floyds makes incredible beer, but THAT stuff is expensive. I have a hard time finding bombers cheaper than $10
omnipanzer 12.11.12	Did you ever get to try Rogue-Chipotle Ale?
Inveigh 12.11.12	no I've been looking for it though. I generally have no issue finding their beers, but that one has been elusive. Love their Yellow Snow IPA though.
andcas 12.11.12	flying dog is pretty cool.
halloway 12.11.12	I thought the Yellow Snow was pretty "meh." Three Floyds has the lockdown on the IPAs. Helluva brewery.
Inveigh 12.11.12	yea I don't normally dig Rogue's attempts at IPAs, which is why I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Yellow Snow (I had it on tap). I've got Dreadnaught and Arctic Panzer Wolf bombers at home chilling right now...
klap 12.11.12	had some coors light the other day
Inveigh 12.11.12	did it taste like club soda and corn water?
klap 12.11.12	once it hits your lips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byb_FfxA8hs
omnipanzer 12.11.12	"no I've been looking for it though." It was awesome, smokey and sweet with just a little heat. My buddy and I cleaned out our local bar of the stuff. We've asked when it'll be back but according to the owner it looks like it was a one time run. :-(
Inveigh 12.11.12	damn... might be a lost cause for me then. anyone tried Dogfish Head's Chicory Stout?
omnipanzer 12.11.12	Well, it's on the 2012 release chart. Maybe they'll release it in 2013 as well. http://rogue.com/beers/chipotle-ale.php Release chart is on the left hand side.
andcas 12.11.12	"had some coors light the other day" why are you drinking watered down ass?
omnipanzer 12.11.12	^ good question "anyone tried Dogfish Head's Chicory Stout?" No but it sounds good
klap 12.11.12	Sarcasm you got me andcas
andcas 12.11.12	sarcasm no do well on dee interwebz.
sniper01 12.11.12	"have you tried Stone's Enjoy By IPA? ridiculously good" i wish. stone brews are always dope but i haven't seen that one around i gotta hit up a bevmo soon.
Inveigh 12.13.12	purchased a bomber of Three Floyds Dreadnaught (my favorite IPA, probably) today, also grabbed a bomber of Stone's Vertical Epic 12.12.12 -- which I'm super excited about. Unfortunately my local Binny's limited me to one of each...
sniper01 12.13.12	i got one of those vertical epics as well, gonna drink it the 20th in anticipation of the world ending.
Inveigh 12.16.12	haha, that's a good idea, I'm still holding onto mine so I maybe I'll crack it on the same night came up on that Rogue Chipotle on Friday, plus I somehow managed to find TWO sixers of Gumballhead
andcas 12.16.12	you can't go wrong with 1 dollar pbr draft at the bar I frequent.
Inveigh 12.16.12	I would rather pay $5 for a good beer
andcas 12.16.12	I'd rather get drunk every now and then without breaking bank.
Inveigh 12.16.12	Idk i can get a proper buzz going on $20 of good beer at a bar, and if I didnt have $20 to spare then I probably wouldn't be getting drunk Obviously this doesn't apply to the college drinker
americanohno 12.16.12	I've had that Left hand milk stout before and didn't much care for it. of course it was in the middle of the day in the middle of the summer that i tried it which isn't a great time for a stout.
andcas 12.17.12	ain't nothing wrong with ice cold pbr draft. all I'm saying.
americanohno 12.17.12	except that it gives you cancer of the heart
andcas 12.17.12	lol what?
Inveigh 12.19.12	was an IPA kind of night for me started out with a Two Brothers Heavy Handed wet-hopped IPA, now polishing off a Dogfish Head 90 Minute DIPA damn tasty
Inveigh 12.19.12	yea I don't think I've listened to them since I made this list, they were just a recent get at the time
omnipanzer 12.19.12	Drink that Chipotle yet?
Inveigh 12.19.12	saving that one for tomorrow actually, I plan on getting nice and toasty between that and my Stone Vertical Epic 12.12.12 brew (for the end of the world, of course)
omnipanzer 12.19.12	Epicly lovely brew that, I hope you enjoy it.
Inveigh 12.19.12	Rogue generally doesn't disappoint, and I trust your recommendation. I'll report back to this thread with a brew soundoff
jrm96 12.19.12	dos equis, tecate, corona, carta blanca, modelo
Inveigh 12.19.12	modelo and victoria are the two mexican brews I normally go for but the others are ok too
jrm96 12.19.12	the tequilas aren't bad either :)
Inveigh 12.19.12	i'm not a big tequila fan, I mean I'm not opposed to a shot of don julio, patron or whatever, or a margarita but I'm mostly a whiskey or gin drinker when it comes to liquor
jrm96 12.19.12	awww i was about to give u a huge ass list
sniper01 12.20.12	"i'm not a big tequila fan, I mean I'm not opposed to a shot of don julio, patron or whatever, or a margarita but I'm mostly a whiskey or gin drinker when it comes to liquor" agreed. "Stone Vertical Epic 12.12.12 brew (for the end of the world, of course)" same here, it should be a party. "Idk i can get a proper buzz going on $20 of good beer at a bar, and if I didnt have $20 to spare then I probably wouldn't be getting drunk" agreeeed. but i'm still a college drinker.
Inveigh 12.20.12	so when I poured that Chipotle Ale, it basically exploded everywhere and poured with like 5 inches of head at least. There are tons of giant yeast discs/floaters throughout, to the point of looking like a snow globe. Did I store it too cold? This happened to an Arctic Panzer Wolf I cracked open the other day too... anyone have an idea?
Inveigh 12.24.12	I'm going to make a bold statement, Dreadnaught by Three Floyds is the best IPA in the world (I guess technically it's a DIPA) But yeah seriously it's the best
Inveigh 12.26.12	i'm just going to use this as my 'what i'm drinking now' thread http://oi48.tinypic.com/21mg0sw.jpg
halloway 12.26.12	I scored a bottle of Rogue's Bacon Maple Ale for X-mas. What am I getting into?
Inveigh 12.26.12	Never had it, but if there's one brewery I would trust with that specific task, it'd be Rogue
Inveigh 01.09.13	drinking a 22 ouncer of Hop Rod Rye by Bear Republic damn good brew, they call it an IPA but it tastes more like an American Strong Ale to me
Spec 01.09.13	Drinking Canadian. Bleh.
Inveigh 01.13.13	just cracked my last bottle of Founders Breakfast Stout, leftover from the fall http://tinypic.com/r/a5dw0k/6 so fucking good
Inveigh 01.14.13	just finished off a bomber of Three Floyds Rye'Da Tiger and it was unbelievable. Maybe the best Rye DIPA I've ever had. just cracked a BridgePort Ebenezer Ale leftover from one of my xmas/winter warmer hauls. Decent, but nothing special.
Inveigh 01.14.13	and yes, I know I'm the only one posting here anymore. what's everyone else drinking tonight? assuming you're all functioning alcoholics like I am...
Spec 01.14.13	Sleemans Honey Brown. Also took a lot of codeine and am listening to Codeine. I would recommend it.
Inveigh 01.14.13	damn, care to share some of that codeine? syrup variety I assume?
Spec 01.14.13	Tylenol 3's actually.
Inveigh 02.24.13	Have had some awesome beers over the last week. Tyranena The Devil Made Me Do It Coffee Porter - 4.5/5 Green Flash Palate Wrecker DIPA - 4.5/5 Lagunitas Sucks DIPA - 4.75/5 Founders Backwoods Bastard - 4.25/5 Oskar Blues Deviant Dale IPA - 4.5/5 also came up on a few bombers of Three Floyds Dreadnaught DIPA (otherwise known as the best beer in the world). It's $12.99 per bomber, but totally worth it.
ReturnOfTheDnor 02.24.13	I've had tha Lagunitas before. Stuff absolutely rules.
Inveigh 03.01.13	tying one on tonight, so far I've downed a Lagunitas Sucks, Firestone Walker Double Jack, Three Floyds Alpha King and a Three Floyds Gumballhead
sniper01 03.01.13	double jack is so good. one of my favorites drinking a young's double chocolate stout and listening to the men.
Spec 03.01.13	Old Milwaukee tonight. Cheap beer hooray.
sniper01 03.01.13	brits really know how to stout
Inveigh 03.01.13	young's double chocolate is easily one of my favorites in that style, obviously Samuel Smith makes a great one as well. Purchased a bomber of Pipeworks' Jones Dog the other day, haven't tried it yet though. Really liked their Galaxy Unicorn, Standard Issue and Close Encounter. Tonight I've gone with Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot, Oskar Blues Deviant Dale and Bell's Two Hearted. It's been a good night.
someguest 03.01.13	You gotta love the skunky Two Hearted. A Michigan classic!
Inveigh 03.02.13	dude Two Hearted is not skunky at all to my taste buds... just grapefruity, orangey, bitter goodness
toxin. 03.02.13	i thought this would be a balls list
someguest 03.02.13	It's skunky to me. I'm still a novice beer drinker.
Inveigh 03.02.13	if you're still in Michigan you're in a good spot. Bell's and Founders are world class breweries, plus Dark Horse, New Holland and Jolly Pumpkin are pretty great too. you're also not too far from awesome breweries like Three Floyds and Pipeworks.
someguest 03.02.13	Sadly, I am still here. Beer is like the only good thing left in this state. Oh, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. But that's about it.
Inveigh 03.02.13	ah, yes the dunes. Grand Rapids is a pretty cool town, if my memory from the one time I was there serves me. otherwise yeah, michigan's got beer and that's about it
Inveigh 03.13.13	drinking my last bomber of Rye'da Tiger right now... sad, but god damn tasty. probably the best rye IPA (or DIPA) out there imo
someguest 03.13.13	I haven't had a drink in at least two weeks. :(
Inveigh 03.13.13	on purpose?
someguest 03.13.13	Yes and no. Big person problems man.
Inveigh 03.13.13	I'm familiar with those
Apollo 03.13.13	New brews kicking my ass: Howe Sound Pothole Filler Imperial Stout (British Columbia craft) Beau's Coffee Amber (Ontario craft) Kostriker Black Lager (German) Samichlaus (Swiss, this beer is 14%, like a kick in the teeth in a good way) Beau's Hefeweizen Style Wheat Beer Lava Smoked Imperial Stout (Iceland, 9.4% delicious, blacker than black coffee)
someguest 03.13.13	The last one sounds really good.
Apollo 03.13.13	It's awesome man. Only $5 for a bottle where I live too.
Melons 03.13.13	I don't care much for beer. I enjoy whisky though.
Inveigh 03.13.13	downing an Alpha King to close the night I love whiskey, it is second only to beer in my booze-love ranking best coffee-ish stout I've had recently was Central Waters Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout. It's 9.5% abv and pure deliciousness.
DominionMM1 03.14.13	drinking an old chub right now. mmmmmmm alcolicious.
sniper01 03.14.13	pretty things beer and ale project - our finest regards (barleywine 12.1% ABV) quite a mouthful (as is the flavor)
Inveigh 03.18.13	oh damn dominion didn't know you were up on that oskar blues tip. i love dale's, deviant dale's and g'knight, I really need to try old chub seeing as I love scotch ales. the wife and I celebrated a slightly belated St. Pat's tonight with some homemade corned beef and cabbage, and a bomber of Brian Boru Irish Red Ale. now I'm sipping on a dark horse double crooked tree. damn good.
Inveigh 03.18.13	also sniper i just looked that stuff up, sounds pretty tasty. i've been in a barleywine mood lately. guess it is the season..
andcas 03.18.13	had a chocolate tasting ale that was 10% at some bar. don't remember the name but it was tasty
DominionMM1 03.18.13	"oh damn dominion didn't know you were up on that oskar blues tip. i love dale's, deviant dale's and g'knight, I really need to try old chub seeing as I love scotch ales." yeah the brewery is a 45 minute drive from my place. you need to try mama's little yells pils and the gubna, too if you haven't.
AngelofDeath 03.18.13	I don't think I'm ever going to drink anything besides Sam Smith's chocolate stout from now on.
Inveigh 03.18.13	yeah I've got a can of Gubna in my fridge now, gonna crack it next time I'm in the mood for an RIS yesssss Angel Sam Smith makes the best chocolate stout around. the oatmeal is damn good as well. I tried something recently called Not Your Father's Root Beer by Small Town Brewery. It was 10% and tasted like the best root beer I've ever had.
andcas 03.18.13	"I don't think I'm ever going to drink anything besides Sam Smith's chocolate stout from now on" that was it. good looking out for my trashed memory at the time.
Underflow 03.19.13	All I know is is that if you're trashed enough to think Keystone Light tastes awesome, then you're doing a good job.
DominionMM1 03.19.13	keystone doesn't taste like shit because it has no taste whatsoever
sniper01 03.19.13	me and the gf split a unibroue terrible for st pattys day along with some irish creme ale in nitrocans i can't remember the name of right now. the amber ale i brewed is ready, bout to open the first one.
Inveigh 03.19.13	nice, I really want to get into home brewing I just cracked my last Founders Russian Imperial Stout for the year, couldn't hold off any longer. It's probably my favorite American take on the style (although I still haven't had Dark Lord).
DominionMM1 03.19.13	have you ever tried old rasputin, veigh?
sniper01 03.20.13	@ dominion -- Inveigh: "sniper: yes, I actually have one or two Old Rasputin's in my fridge right now. can't believe I forgot that one, definitely an essential RIS."
Inveigh 03.20.13	lol that's awesome. this is one of my favorite threads, people with good taste in music and beer. drinking my last Hopslam right now, again, wanted to let it mature but couldn't wait. It was bottled on 1/9 and I got it 1/14, I think I've waited long enough. DIPA and YOB are a great combo
sniper01 03.21.13	i always buy cellar beers at whole foods and then i never wait to drink them. i have even tried buying 2 of each so i could drink one and save one but i have no willpower at all it seems.
Inveigh 03.21.13	yeah I'm the same way. Just picked up a couple bottles of Founders Curmudgeon Old Ale today and I'm drinking one now, planning on cellaring the other... we'll see if it lasts. I'm making a trip to Three Floyds brewpub on Saturday for a haul of some Zombie Dust and whatever else they have available for growler purchase. It's going to be awesome.
Maniac! 03.21.13	The only good beer I've had is Killian's Red what's the consensus on that one?
ffs 03.21.13	special brew
MetallicOpeth 03.21.13	strange brew
Inveigh 03.21.13	Killian's Red? I used to like it back in the day, and it's pretty good for a Miller-Coors product. But it pales in comparison to other Irish Reds like Brian Boru or even Murphy's.
Maniac! 03.21.13	for a first beer, it was pretty good
Inveigh 03.21.13	yes, definitely good for a first beer. I think of Killian's as like a "gateway beer" -- it's good for the transition from stuff like Bud Light into real beer.
Maniac! 03.21.13	hah. I skipped entry level
Inveigh 03.21.13	that you did. when you're under 21 and the luxury of choice is not on your side, I'd say you did pretty good.
Maniac! 03.21.13	"that you did. when you're under 21 and the luxury of choice is not on your side, I'd say you did pretty good." Fun shit happens at judo camp
Maniac! 03.21.13	like gay sex
Inveigh 03.21.13	damn beat me to it
sniper01 03.22.13	ommegang three philosophers and the doppelgangaz
Inveigh 03.31.13	rocked out with some Solemn Oath Kidnapped By Vikings IPA earlier (best IPA I've had recently, brewed 5 minutes from my apartment), along with Ommegang Iron Throne Blonde Ale and Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale finishing the night off with a dirty martini made with City of London gin
sniper01 03.31.13	Kidnapped By Vikings 2nd best beer name ever after bitches brew
Inveigh 04.02.13	^I would actually agree with that drinking a Victory Hop Wallop right now and listening to Let Us Prey by Electric Wizard m/
DominionMM1 04.03.13	bitches brew slays for days. dogfish head is my favorite non- CO brewery.
Inveigh 04.08.13	menu tonight so far has included Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale, Dogfishhead Aprihop IPA and now a Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA
DominionMM1 04.08.13	how's the aprihop?
Inveigh 04.13.13	drinking a Three Floyds Dreadnaught DIPA (probably my favorite overall beer) and jamming Gang Starr while hanging with the wife (who's drinking a Two Brothers Side Kick pale ale) good fucking times
Inveigh 04.15.13	tossing back a Three Floyds Gumballhead right now... jamming Thou
sniper01 04.16.13	i need to jam some fucking thou
sniper01 04.20.13	trappistes rochefort 10 and living legends fuck yeah
Inveigh 04.21.13	nice choices i'm on my second of two awesome bombers tonight. started off with a Revolution Galaxy Hero IPA, now sipping a Stone Enjoy By 5-17-13 DIPA. so fucking good. currently jamming deftones but it will be a long night of tunes and reefer. Black Domino and Lemon Kush are the strands of the evening (or so I'm told, pretty sure half of these names are just made up)
Inveigh 04.21.13	getting down on my last Aprihop at the moment, been a good night
Inveigh 04.21.13	drinking a Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout and listening to Portal it's a good afternoon
Inveigh 04.21.13	Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale canned on 4/3/13. if you can get this stuff fresh it's one of the best APAs on the planet and yes i realize I'm the only one posting in here today.
sniper01 04.22.13	westmalle dubbel and the pyramid imperial ipa
sniper01 04.22.13	i don't believe i have ever been able to drink a beer that fresh that wasn't a homebrew.
Winsomniac 04.22.13	Figueroa Mtn. Hoppy Poppy Mirror Pond Pale Ale Red Chair Northwestern Pale Ale Inversion IPA Widmer Bros. Pitch Black IPA Ruination IPA All from quite good breweries. Stone is by far the most well-known, but they mostly live up to the hype.
Inveigh 05.02.13	yeah love Stone, we recently started getting Deschuttes here in Chicagoland so I've grown quite fond of Red Chair just finishing my first (and likely only) Three Floyds Permanent Funeral (collab with Pig Destroyer) one of the top 3-4 IPA/DIPAs I've ever had
Inveigh 05.02.13	sniper, freshness is so key with anything hoppy
Inveigh 05.03.13	drinking a Revolution Galaxy Hero atm
chemicalmarriage 05.03.13	Founders KBS. Have a friend close to the brewery. It's fucking amazing. Suck my balls. yes. Suck my balls
Inveigh 05.07.13	last night I got down on a Three Floyds In The Name of Suffering, black IPA collab with Eyehategod. really good beer, but not in the top tier of Black IPAs that I've had (Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous and Firestone Walker Wookie Jack would be in that category). tonight I'm polishing off one of my other Three Floyds limited release bombers, Rabid Rabbit Saison. slightly less impressed with this one than I normally am with their brews.
Jesuslaves 05.07.13	Y U BUMP UR OWN LIST
Inveigh 05.08.13	because it's awesome AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT I'M DRINKING
andcas 05.08.13	every time you bump this I want a beer lol
DominionMM1 05.08.13	i certainly hope you were jamming some ehg while enjoying that black ipa
omnipanzer 05.08.13	every time you bump this I want a beer lol [2]
Winsomniac 05.08.13	Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA m/
sniper01 05.08.13	had too much coursework to drink/sputnik/sleep much lately but i'm gonna crack a few and jam some deer leap
