Azalin Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Speaking of BeIgian wheat beers, I just tried one of these last week and am looking around town to see where I can get more. White Rascal: http://averybrewing.com/our-ales/white-rascal/
The Poojer Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Just had cigar city jai alai... Always a good choice
plenzmd1 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Just game back from Total Wine...one thing i want to mention Sweetwater and Sierra Nevada have the best twelve packs boxes...lay them on their side, they have the cut out so cans roll out perfectly one at a time! Little things my friends, little things! Edited November 26, 2014 by plenzmd1
The Poojer Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 unfortunately bud light or miller lite or coors light had that first, but if you are like me, you try to have selective memory and not give them the credit Just game back from Total Wine...one thing i want to mention Sweetwater and Sierra Nevada have the best twelve packs boxes...lay them on their side, they have the cut out so cans roll out perfectly one at a time!

Little things my friends, little things! Only one beer at a time? Who has the patience for that?
Chandemonium Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Currently drinking a labbatt's bourbon barrel ale. I would recommend it if you like oaked beers or bourbon.
Chef Jim Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 I'm in Seattle for the holiday. I'll most likely run into some and report.
Tony P Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Lagunitas...A Little Sumpin Extra Ale Very nice IPA Yummmmm! Sumpin Sumpin is always in the fridge. Now I'll have to try the Extra. Didn't care too much for the Wild though. Edited November 28, 2014 by Tony P
sullim4 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Granville Island Lions Winter Ale. Tried this on a trip up to BC last month and really liked it.
Wayne Cubed Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Big fan of the Belgian beer Delirium. Has anyone tried the Xmas beer they make?
Chef Jim Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Ok the report from Seattle. Had a Silver City Brewey Fat Scotch Ale. Dark, sweet and boozy at 9.2 ABV. Best I've had in a long time. Had a 22 oz'er and not sure if it's available in a smaller format or any place other that WA. Good stuff.
sullim4 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Silver City is a good brewery, and their scotch ale is arguably their signature - you typically see 22oz'ers in the grocery stores around here (Puget Sound), and they are a fairly popular rotating tap. I've never seen any of Silvery City's beer in 12oz. Some of my other favorite breweries from around here are Elysian, Black Raven, and Ninkasi (though Ninkasi is actually in Oregon, not Washington). The Tamerlane Porter from Black Raven is probably my favorite. If you like hoppy beers, Fremont is a good choice too.
plenzmd1 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Saison DuPont is one my favorite Belgians. This love child between Dogfish, Victory and Stone is another. http://www.dogfish.c...son-du-BUFF.htm So, was in a little beer store Saturday night and they had one of these up at the counter by the register. This post came to mind.. but I was a little scared by two things Bottled date was 06/10....thats seems like a long time ago $4.99 for a 12 oz Bottle...wowzer. Anyway, started cooking a little early today...so pulled it out to help with my prep work! Worth every friggen penny Thanks for the heads up!

The Poojer Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I bought a sixer of Balast Points Sculpin Habanero last week, hoping to get the Sculpin Grapefruit this week. Also have the latest Rogue Voodoo Donut offering, the lemon chiffon crueller....i enjoy that series, can't drink a lot of them but the flavor profiles are pretty cool, they do a good job, even if they aren't flavors typically associated with beer. Eagerly awaiting their siracha beer coming out in a month or so
Dante Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Lauguintas "Brown Suggah" weighing in at 9.9%. Does not taste overpowering at all. http://lagunitas.com/beers/brown-shugga/#

Eagerly awaiting their siracha beer coming out in a month or so I have not heard of any them Pooj...but my first reaction is "yeech". But like i tell my kids, how can you say you dont like it if you have never tried it! Hate the watermelon from 21st amendment!
The Poojer Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Sculpin is Ballast Points signature IPA, one of the highest rated beers in the USA, awesome beer. The habanero and grapefruit are derivations of the sculpin that used to brewery releases, this year they bottled and distributed. The Voodoo series is interesting, maple bacon donut, chocolate, banana and peanut butter and pretzel raspberry chocolate, along with the new one mentioned above. they come in bright pink bottles, really worth at least trying once, the way they are able to separate the individual flavors blows me away. Should be getting the bourbon barrel hardywood gbs this week, the rum barrel will hopefully follow close behind that I have not heard of any them Pooj...but my first reaction is "yeech".

Does not taste overpowering at all. http://lagunitas.com.../brown-shugga/# I will always remember the first Lauguintas i ever had...was in San Francisco for work, Sabres were playing a playoff game, the one Vanel got crushed.. I was only familiar with 21st Amendment, as Langunitas was not on East Coast yet. Guys at the North Star were saying had to try the IPA. That was 2009 i believe...been a big fan of their beers ever since. Sculpin is Ballast Points signature IPA, one of the highest rated beers in the USA, awesome beer. Should be getting the bourbon barrel hardywood gbs this week, the rum barrel will hopefully follow close behind that Yep, know the Sculpin well...just added the flavors not so sure i would like
The Poojer Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 i am waiting to try them until i have both, i have heard the habanero has all the goodness of sculpin with a nice head sweating heat, I will report back when i try both Yep, know the Sculpin well...just added the flavors not so sure i would like
