Beer Time

just happen to be in a brewpub called calhoun's in harrisonburg, va having an esb. bitter enough and kind of hoppy but a bit sweet like it's a little young. think I'll be trying the wheat next.
 
Having a few Saranac Belgian White ales this morn (not a drunk just a 3rd shift guy). Very citrusy and mighty tasty brew. And at $20 for a case (with tax and dep) can't beat the price!!!
 
Having a couple of Anderson Valley Winter Solstice tonight. Another awesome brew from them. A nice thirst quencher on a hot night.
 
Tonight having a couple of Three Floyds Alpha King, I've got to say this is the best/tastys APA I've had so far. Very nice, sweet, hoppy, with a slight hint of caramel.
 
Last night was a couple of Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA's. Probably not quite as hoppy as I would like, but still a very good beer. I saw the 120 minute IPA in the store, but didn't feel like paying $10 for a 12 oz. bottle :eek:

They're actually 2 very different kinds of beer. The 120 is an Imperial IPA and is much more balanced than the 60 (it's also 42 proof). The 90 minute i think is actually the better beer however (also an imperial IPA) If the 60 wasn't hoppy enough for you then you're obviously one for punishment, try a victory hop whollop or stone ruination.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info. I've had the Stone Ruination, that's a very good beer. I've never had the Hop Whollop, just the Hop Devil, from Victory. Have to keep an eye out for that one.



I don't always like my beers hoppy, I like almost anything, actually :). But when I'm in the mood for a hoppy IPA, I like them nice and hoppy.
 
You guys are killing me!! I've only heard of just a handful of these beers. I can get some Sam Adams and Guiness, but that's about it. I have to stick with Killian's Red and Warsteiner for a decent beer. I don't know what it is about WV, but if it's not some watered down junk, nobody carries it. I might drink one beer a week, but this thread makes me wanna drive to PA right now and get a decent case of beer. I've got two cases of Yuengling(sp) on the way so that will be a nice change. Guess I'll have to go to NY more often to see the in-laws as an excuse to get my hands on some premium beer. I like to drink a good single-malt scotch when I smoke a cigar, but I'd love to find a good beer to have with one as well. Who knows, maybe beer doesn't go with cigars. None that I've had seem to work too well.



I can't believe how thirsty I am now. I'm getting up early and searching for a liquor store that may have some unique beer. It's time for a new bottle of scotch anyway.
 
yuengling is a very solid beer as far as american pale lager's go. Because of it, PA is the only state where one of the major brewers aren't the top consumed beer.



may i suggest www.ratebeer.com helping you in your search.
 
As my previous Posts mention, I am a Duvel guy. Last week I have two pilots from Belgium working with me as a crew. I mentioned I could go for a Duvel right now ( not flying!) and they looked at each other and kind of made a face.



I asked what was that about, they almost in unison replied that in Belgiam Duvel is the beer of serious drinkers, usually alcoholics , left me dumbfounded. I always thought this was one of the finest Belgian beers around. Its a strong 8% but its not Busch beer or Colt 45?



I dont know if they were messing with me since I was their instructor and was giving them a really hard training session in a flight simulator but that really made me wonder........



Still I love Duvel, buying some today, never goes on sale though.... I have about 8 glasses now, they make the beer, without the proper glass its not he same. Who would have thought the Monks would cater to drunks?
 
speaking of monks, if you're ever across the bridge in philly, try Monks Cafe. Awesome belgian beer selection. Also Eulogy.
