What are you drinking now?

[WesleyS]

My white whale. I see it on the menu all the time and am always told it the tap is dry. Guess I need to start combing the local beer stores to find it.

That's a shame. I would think all Founders would be plentiful in Michigan.

When I find it package, it's always old. I am yet to have a good IPA by founders because I buy a six, get home, pour a glass, taste it and think its "off", then check the date and see that it's a year old.

From now on, I will not buy Founders without checking the date. The Breakfast Stout was 5-6 months old when I tried it but I'm guessing it was as good as it gets at that age. That was good stuff.

Wheat for me

I hope you tried the Live oak Hefe. That's an amazing beer

Man, that stinks. I usually have no issues with the freshness of Founders, and I do most of my beer shopping at Meijer. Maybe it's because of the high turnover in the Ann Arbor area. If your ever out this way check it out.

I'm usually buying it in a very densely populated area. Don't understand it. It is the only brand I've had this issue with. I am not judging the beers based on what I've had from the bottles. The Founders beers ive had on tap were very good.

Densely populated, but maybe not with the people who are likely to spend upwards of ten bucks for a sixer...I'm guessing those beers sit there for quite some time on the shelf.

Mashing Stauff's White Pepper Rye Saison and having myself an example of the almost polar opposite of that style. It's a good example of the style and will certainly get better as it warms and as it ages.

Every time someone says lager is fizzy, yellow beer I want to slap them with a Dopplebock.

Having some black tea. Haven't even started filtering strike water and trying to stick to my 'no beers before the boil' rule. Good day to pace myself after all day 'AHA conference training' at my club's Big Brew event last Saturday.

 

[rockbasementbeer]

Monster while at work, and debating what i want to get for tonight

 

[j1laskey]

At Cedar Creek in Houston just about to order Live Oak Hefe. And eat some of these

 

[j1laskey]

Thanks for the recommendation. ....Live Oak Hefe

Sunny Saturday!

 

[nukebrewer]

I think is my last one of these. I didn't see any more in the fridge, but I might get lucky and have another on hiding in there.

Sharing a HB Cascade Rye IPA with my dad.

Coffee atm. It's still only about 49F around here. WTF happened to all the warm weather lately?

Tell me about it! So much for enjoying beers on the sunny deck, freakin 45° and raining

 

[half_whit]

Annoying day calls for a quick walk past the tap house. Founders all day IPA

 

[free2scour]

Pumpkin Ale I kegged back on October 4th....Still tastes GREAT and it's clearer than ever. Too bad I'm getting to the end of the keg, heheheheh.

 

[Qhrumphf]

My Kolsch.

 

[NIZZLE]

these make this crappy day just fine.

 

[NIZZLE]

But these are nice too



And you all know your jealous of the Vernors

 

[nukebrewer]

This is definitely getting better with age. The first time I had it 4 months ago it had a fairly prominent astringent note that has now completely disappeared. Great roast, coffee and chocolate notes paired with a strong supporting bitterness make this a solid imperial stout, though not my favorite by far. Also, I'm a few deep on brew day, so no fancy pics until after I'm done brewing. I know it's a travesty, but y'all will get over it.

 

[blkandrust]

Heavy Seas' Riptide. An IPA fermented with a Belgian yeast. To say its a tasty brew would be an understatement.

 

[meltroha]

Thing of beauty my friend! As for me shoveling down Buds due to $2 24 oz drafts watching Spurs game

Why would you waste $2 like that? Could have bought 1oz of hops at the lhbs.

Lol I hear ya but only decent thing they had was Magic Hat #9 and theres no way I can have more than one of those in a row.

Sicillianos? And how much are the Kuhnhenn going for? Might pick some up Monday

 

[TNGabe]

It's upper 60s here and some drizzle. After 90s in March here last year and frost in May, I've been okay with this spring.

Big day in Badgerland! I'm in the extreme minority who finds NG fruit beers unpleasantly sweet. I had some crazy Kuhnhenn at a big beer tasting and oddly don't remember. A friend has all of their meads lined up for a scary blackout tasting.

I've moved from tea to water here. Maybe I'll drink something fun from the cellar soon.

 

[NIZZLE]

Yes Sicillianos $5.89 each I would call first though.

 

[bobmcstuff]

Splitting a Thormbridge Jaipur old-school IPA with my dad. Got to be one of the best English IPAs I've had.

 

[TNGabe]

Well, almost made it through the mash and it's only 4.5%. Table biere

 

[Ridire]

Anyone ever have Sam Adams Wee Heavy? Saw it at the store and picked up 4.

 

[Brewitt]

Tasty!

I didn't care for it young but, after two years in the beer fridge, it turns into something great.

 

[bobmcstuff]

Another present from SWMBO...




First thoughts, feck me!

 

[jaydog2314]

Rogue Dead Guy Ale and then onto some homebrew, IIPA is more or less ready, needs a little more carbonation but I can't wait any longer, indulging in these bad boys today!
