Bayou_Eagle_Driver Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Mikkeller huh? I'm guessing $35.50 a bottle?
BigE Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Best beer in the world? I'm not qualified to say. Pretty fücking good beer? Yup.
Insubordinate & Churlish Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 How does it compare to Ranger by the same company? The liquor store by my house sells pint.5's for 3 dollars... [i don't know all the fancy words for describing beer, but here it goes] Yeah, as mentioned before, Dig isn't as hoppy. (I'm not an IPA guy. Something about the flavor). Ranger seems to have a much more even flavor to it, the Dig has a lot of flavor right off the bat.
Prosuper Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Had a Stella Artois at JFK before I flew it was good, had a Russian brand #9 at Petes Place in Manas, it was not as good as the Stella but it did the job and was enjoyable. Had some German near beer here in OAMS, it was not good and didn't even get that plecebo effect , I hope there is a special place in hell for those who invented near beer. Stay thirsty my friends.
zrooster99 Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Can't remember the last, but the next one will be excellent...
Vno Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Pipeworks Brewery in Chicago. Words cannot describe.
LoneStar Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Abita - Andygator - if you are a light beer drinker you will like it. I a fan of a lot of the things that the Abita brewery puts out, unfortunately this is not one of them. I think I tasted some fruity tones in there too. (sts)
Slander Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 St Bernardus Abt 12 and Rochefort Trappist 10. Can't go wrong with a monk drunk.
Hodor Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 A Corona thats been in the back of my fridge for months. It was just a little skunky.
Day Man Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 hint: there's a reason 95% of beer bottles are brown.
Joey Freshwater Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I think I tasted some fruity tones in there too. (sts) You definitely did. I'll pick up and andygator every now and then and drink it as a nightcap. Being from Louisiana I have to show some love for the home team. I'm not a big fan of fruity beer, but I can tolerate Andygator. Abita makes some damn good beers, but they have a tendency to slip some fruity flavors into some of them("cough cough" Purple Haze). Turbodog is my favorite beer period dot. Ironically this post was brought to you by Shiner Bock, can't find Turbodog in CBM.
Winchester Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Lone Star Bock - good beer, smoother and slightly sweeter than Shiner with more Bock like qualities I.e. flavor. On the same note, St Arnold Bock is an excellent easy drinking bock with a crispness unlike other Bocks, doesn't sit as heavy as Shiner or Lonestar while drinking. No sweet after tone like LS but not as full bodied either. both beers are born and bred in Texas. Anyone try different Texas beers recently?
Jughead Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Anyone try different Texas beers recently? I can never remember the name of it, but it's easy to spot and I always get it when available: Shiner makes a black beer that's fantastic.
itsokimapilot Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I can never remember the name of it, but it's easy to spot and I always get it when available: Shiner makes a black beer that's fantastic. Shiner Bohemian Black Lager, agreed, pretty good beer.When I'm able, I'll grab a case of Köstritzer Schwarzbier in Germany. Similar to the Shiner black, but better flavor.
TreeA10 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Rahr Brewing out of Fort Worth is pretty good. Their brewery is located south of downtown Cowtown and they host "tours" on Saturday and Wednesdays with live music. https://www.rahrbrewing.com/ All their stuff has been good.
JS Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Had a Tommyknocker Hop Strike Black IPA last night. I really love most of the Tommyknocker beers - most of them are "high gravity" and high in taste as well. The regular IPA (Pick Axe) is also very good, and very hoppy. As far as this Black IPA - it didn't taste quite as hoppy as I would expect for 78 IBU, but I guess the dark, malty flavor sort of counteracted it (kind of the point, I presume). Either way, it seems like a good beer for my transition from winter dark/porter/stout type beers to more springtime type beers such as IPAs and Hefeweizen.
HerkFE Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Love me some Das Helle. Haven't had any in a while. If anyone is coming from Ramstein through Atlanta and want to bring me case or twelve, you'll be my friend.
Free7 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I was in Munich last summer and had an Augustiner Dunkel. Hands down the best dark beer I've ever had. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting.
Sasquatch Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Lone Star Bock - good beer, smoother and slightly sweeter than Shiner with more Bock like qualities I.e. flavor. On the same note, St Arnold Bock is an excellent easy drinking bock with a crispness unlike other Bocks, doesn't sit as heavy as Shiner or Lonestar while drinking. No sweet after tone like LS but not as full bodied either. both beers are born and bred in Texas. Anyone try different Texas beers recently? The Lone Star was a little too sweet for my liking. Love the St Arnold Bock though. Speaking of St Arnold, I've had a few of their limited-release brews lately... Bishop's Barrel #2 is an old ale aged in chardonnay barrels with cherries. This was... interesting. Icon Red is a belgian-style pale ale. I loved it, and was pretty pissed when my roommates finished off 2 out of my 4 while I was gone. Icon Blue is a cascadian dark ale / black IPA. This stuff was freakin' delicious. Nice & hoppy, but also kinda roasty like a porter. I don't think it's available outside the Houston market, but if you ever have a chance I highly recommend trying Buffalo Bayou Brewery's stuff. Their flagship beer (1836) and IPA (More Cowbell) are two of my favorites.
disgruntledemployee Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I have a Rogue Yellow Snow IPA in hand. Its delish and you can still taste it an hour later after you finish it. Out
LoneStar Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 If you have an iPhone get the app BrewGene (I'm not saying the designers knew what they were naming it) but you can log and record all the brews that you have ever had in it. Epic.
flynhigh Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Stumbled across this about 4 months ago. Has been my favorite ever since. https://www.bellsbeer.com/brands/info/2 Bell's Brewery is based in Michigan, so not sure how far they distribute... 1
