posh beers and ales and stuff thread

y'know, like a barbecue. It's sweet too, but that is just the fat ass end of a very woody, smoky dickslap in the tastebuds

oh shiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm already halfway to argonaut

it's 13% too..

*tips over stool*

It's #1 on my to-try list. The fact that it's 13 is only going to make it more amazing than I'm anticipating... hope my expectations aren't too high... god if FW come out with a coffee brew I'm going to drive to the store, pour an entire case on my head, then drive home backwards with my butt hanging out the window.

i bet this one will have some serious coffee notes going on. i wish this beer had been released like 3 days ago when it was snowing balls and all i wanted was an imperial stout.

...precisely why I was drinking an Eclipse a few days ago

Just recently discovered this ale. Brewed down my ends.

 

You got these at Cafe OTO. Yummy.

need me a boulevard coffee ale right about now. or water. yeah i think water is good right now.

I enjoyed the Blvd Coffee Ale. Picked up a few bottles.

Re: Deschutes

I went to a tap takeover on Wednesday. Finally got to try The Abyss. Very nice Imperial Stout brewed w/ molasses and licorice. Also had the Armory XPA which was good as well. I agree that they're quality all around.

I recently picked up a bottle of their Class of '88 Barleywine and a couple bottles of a collaboration called Collage they did with Hair of the Dog. The latter is a blend of two beers from each brewery, some sours, aged in various barrels, and it actually has a best after date on the bottle instead of best before. I'm looking forward to trying it at the end of the month!

wow nice, I can't seem to find anything but the hop henge and their sixers around here.

had this guy last night in place of the FW parabola since it hasn't come in yet:

damn tasty, would drink again.

Does anyone have the untappd app? I have no friends on there and that's depressing.

Glorious glorious IPA...

 

had this last night, love it. killer deal for $6 a bottle.

 

 

It's incredible! I've read online the %ABV varies. My bottles were 10.4%, apparently some are 8.5% and some are 9.1% ? All the same label other than that.

 

One of my favorite

 

Got myself one of these at the grocery store, looking forward to tappin' dat ale!

Let me know what you think! Sadly, there are none left in my city (I called everywhere looking for them) =(.

I use untappd all the time. Add me up, same name as here.

what is untappd, tec?

Had this this weekend for the second time:

it just might be the greatest and best beer ever

Untappd is a social drinking site where you check-in to the beers you're drinking, comment on other peoples check-ins, "like" other peoples check-ins, and earn badges based on different criteria. I pretty much use it to find new beers and keep track of all I've tried.

www.untappd.com or get the app for your mobile device.

It can be fun, also sometimes depressing.

That seems really sad. Also, I don't need to broadcast when Im drinking.

at least it's a good way to keep track of what you've had and a better way to remember what things tasted like and how much you enjoyed them maybe right?

OMG this beer is incredible! It shows up the 120 Minute by a mile. It's so smooth and tastes like soft bananas, pears and mangoes.

Glad you like it! I'm surprised how bright and refreshing it is considering the alcohol %. It's absolutely one of my favorite beers.
