What beer did you drink today?

[MoeCizlak]

Great lunch. Awesome Beer.

That's a lot of beer and food for two people.

Two people?

Also, does this place allow smoking? Because I'm moving there if they do.

Ketch basically is two people. Looks like one hell of a beer selection, but $15 for a burger? We don't all roll big time like Ketch. ???

Went to the bar last night and had some pints:

Stone Vanilla Porter (no way this is a porter. Thick and chewy with a nice vanilla extract flavor)
Firestone Union Jack (solid)
RR Blind Pig (much better and more balanced on tap than from the bottle. Really impressed with this)
Stone Old Guardian '10 (very good. Gonna have to buy some bottles of this one)

On the receipt. Kathleen served 2 people.

Tonight I had a Konda Brewing Pipeline Porter followed by a Ten Fidy Imperial Stout. Not the exotic things some of you are able to get, but pretty good.

Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Ale. Good stuff.

Belhaven scotish ale

Belhaven scotish ale

Like that one. Maudite for me right now. Bought for me by a coworker. Why does free beer always taste so much better?

That was my first one! I liked it pretty well. I also had a sierra nevada gliseale or something like that, I thought it was great!

Me and my buddy Ray split a growler of Scaldis Noel the weekend. Two glasses of that and wooooo weee!

I've been pounding homebrew pale ale all day long. I love it when TheKids(c) are out of school and grandma takes them for the day. :thumbs:

Dogfish Head Chateau Jiahu

A=Appearance
S=Smell
T=Taste
M=Mouthfeel
D=Drinkability

Grade: C (3.0)

An herbed/spice offering from Dogfish Head.

A. Pours a golden yellow in the glass with a creamy white head that slowly dissipates. 3.5

S. A little honey, but nothing particularly exciting. Outside of the honey, dare I say it resembles the smell of many lite beers widely available. 2.5

T. The taste is slightly bitter. Flavors include honey and some cooking spices with a malty pilsner background. Hint of ripe melon is present. Very sweet. 3.0

M. Good carbonation. Quite thick. 3.0

D. ABV is 10%. Dogfish masks high ABV beers very well. It's a sipper as the sweetness can only be tolerated in small doses. 3.0

Summary: Not a bottle I would often reach for. I'm glad I only bought one. Too sweet and too syrupy for me. I will struggle to complete the glass I'm drinking.

Presentation: 750ml bottle

Thanks Rob!

I've often wondered about this one, and could not decide. I'm not overly crazy about overly sweet beers. Think I'll pass unless one falls into my lap.

 

[The Black Cloud]

Irondale Swanton Rae's Double Chocolate Stout. Save your money. Had a delicious aroma of caramel and butterscotch along with milk chocolate but the taste had a peculiar bitterness. Not a floral hop bitterness, but more of an ESB/sour bitterness. Wasn't sure if it was just a bad bottle but looking at BA seems the two reviews on it got the same experience.

 

[Kingantz]

Faaaaaaantastic!

 

[gtadroptop]

Surly Abrasive. :thumbs:

 

[MAS_Puros]

Went to a pub with a buddy ... had an Orbier and Goouden Carolous van kaiser blue

 

[BobbyRitz]

Faaaaaaantastic!

Bee-u-ti-ful picture, Greg. :thumbs:

I need to start hanging out with you. :whistling:

Bell's Hopslam and Nugget Nectar back to back. Hopslam is excellent. NN is not as good to my goat palate, but damn good.

 

[B.HOBS]

Had a few Delirium Tremens at Blue Dog the other night, and sipped on the lovely Rocheforte 10 last night with pizza! So delicious.

 

[Aventinus]

Faaaaaaantastic!

Drank one of my 09s a couple weeks ago, and it was nice.
