NEVERENDING ♾️ The NEVERENDING Beer Thread

[hilldweller]

While in Boston for the APA Conference a few weeks ago, I took in a tour of the Sam Adams Brewery. It was a much smaller tour compared to the Budweiser tour in STL. The Sam Adams tour was very informative and a lot of fun. Several other planners were enjoying the tour on a Monday afternoon.

I brought back two large bottles from Boston, part of the Sam Adams Barrel Room Collection. Last weekend I enjoyed the New World Tripel, a very strong beer weighing in at 10% ABV. It was a very very good beer, with hints of tropical fruit which I assume comes from the strain of yeast. I also have a Sam Adams American Kriek which is supposed to be VERY heavy on the cherries, I will prob. hold off for another month or so, until the heat of summer roars its head. :h:

The Jamaica Plain brewery was the original Sam Adams brewery, but my understanding is they don't brew there anymore (they outgrew the place) and it is now just a testing facility. Did you take the trolley to Doyle's afterwards?

I just drank a Miller Light. Screw you microbeer people!!!

I keep telling the guys at my favorite local watering holes that they should keep charging the usual prices for the ever-changing lineups of great beers on their taps, but start charging like $10-15/bottle for the likes of Miller, Coors or Bud Light/Lite.

:lmao:

Anyways, I'm not yet sure of I should cringe or celebrate regarding this, but it seems like more and more micro and craft breweries are starting to distribute their products in cans.

OTOH, if any of you still have your childhood beer can collections, there might be some good additions to them in the offing.

I find it annoying how much I like Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. It is my "general" beer. I try lots of random beers, but I always fall back on it... not sure why.

That is Mrs. P's general beer as well. There is usually Newcastle Brown and Sunset Wheat in the beer fridge in the garage.

 

[prana]

the cans are awesome for us backpackers, kayakers...or even a picnic in a city park that doesn't allow glass. So easy. And now with literally hundreds of quality offerings!

so much easier to recycle too!

Oskar Blues packages only in cans and most of their beers are quite good. At last year's big local brew fest those guys stopped giving 3oz sample pours and just started handing out cans.

Top Five Overrated Beers

While all 5 of these are really tasty, I can't argue with his points. Racer 5 was excellent years ago but has since been passed by better IPAs. Dark Lord...good but too much of everything. Rochefort and Westy...there simply are just better Belgians out there but one of these is popular by virtue of accessibility and the other for inaccessibility.

With that said, don't turn down the chance to drink any of the five on this list because odds are that they are better than most of the swill in the taps to the either side! And if you find Westy on tap...you are dead and in heaven...so enjoy.

 

[Planit]

I found something this weekend I have never seen before. Newcastle has a Summer Ale. It's in a yellow box and the label is light blue and yellow. Not bad for a lighter ale, but I still like the Brown stuff better.

I've never tried any of those. I've been trying to find Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout for a few months now, but none of my local places ever seem to have it. You'd think that since it's from Michigan, that one would be easier to get a hold of. Maybe I'll have to make a cross-state road trip soon.

Even in GR it's hard to find. You need to go to the small, independent beer stores.

 

[Rygor]

They have the KBS at a few of our better local beer bars where I am (in central Illinois). I would try a good beer bar as they are more likely to have it than most liquor stores.

I alas did not take the trolley, as I was on a tight schedule meeting some friends back near the hotel for an early dinner. Yeah I think the guide said they only use the original brewery for some of their really special items, the Utopias and Barrel Room Collection.

MW and I have been thoroughly enjoying Wailua Wheat Ale the past few nights. So glad wheat ales are back in season! Scrumptious!

 

[Planit]

A local pub is featuring certain beers/ales on Wednesday nights. Last night they featured New Belgium and I had 3 pnits. The 2 Crus were excellent and if you can find either one of them in the store, its great stuff. The Ranger was very good as well. Below are the descriptions.

SUPER CRU: a tribute to the 20th anniversary of FAT TIRE. Brand new and, most likely, a big, more boisterous FATTER TIRE.
ABBEY GRAND CRU: actually produced every 1000 batches. This special Abbey Ale has garnered no less than 16 medals at the Great American Beer Festival, 7 of those being Gold. Take that award-winning recipe, precisely increase the hops, malt and fermentation time, and the result is a Grand Cru worth collecting.
RANGER IPA: This clear amber beauty bursts at the starting gate with an abundance of hops: Cascade (citrus), Chinook (floral/citrus), and Simcoe (fruity) lead off the beer, with Cascade added again for an intense dry hop flavor. Brewed with pale and dark caramel malts that harmonize the hop flavor from start to finish.

 

[Rygor]

I actually enjoyed a few Abbey Grand Cru's this past weekend at my buddy's cookout. It was delicious. Celis also makes a good Grand Cru.

 

[prana]

As part of our "purging" of stuff prior to our move, I'm going through boxes in our basement and am going to part with about 300 beer glasses that haven't seen daylight in years. Lots of straight logoed pint glasses, but many tasters, beerfest glassware, some Belgian and German specific style glassware.

With that said, I still have 3 large boxes of beer glassware that I am keeping! I had no idea how many I had accidentally collected over the last 25 years. And I remember selling about 100 before we moved from Colorado!! 8-!

A friend of mine brought me out a six pack of the Ranger IPA in April and I really enjoyed it. They also brought me New Belgium's Sunset Wheat which I thought was phenomenal. I wish I still had some of that left because it would be great now that the weather is hotter and I've fired up the grill.

This past weekend, I got a six pack of Stone Ruination IPA. A friend of mine had been raving about Stone for a while but the price of it here has usually been above what I like to pay ($18!! 8-!) but I decided to take the plunge finally and I'm glad I did. This one has an ABV content of 7.7% which is definitely towards the high end of what I generally like but it was surprisingly smooth and not nearly as hoppy as I was expecting.

I also got a six pack of Sierra Nevada Summerfest (less than 50% of the price of the Stone Ruination) and really enjoyed it. Nice and smooth and another beer that's perfect after working in the yard or while standing over the BBQ grill. This may just become my beer of choice for the summer of 2011.

I know what you mean. One of the chores this weekend was to "thin out" the pint glasses in the cupboard. I was allowed to keep 9 for daily use. I filled up two copier paper boxes. They went upstairs into the attic with the other 4 boxes of pubware (which haven't been out in 10 years).

 

[TerraSapient]

This weekend we enjoyed a peach lambic and the cherry, raspberry, and apple cider ales from Samuel Smith. It was a fruity beer weekend and quite delicious!

 

[HomerJ]

I tried reserving a spot on the Boulevard Brewery Factory Tour today. It's booked months in advance!:-c Looks like I'm not going to be able to see what goes on in there until August, that should give me just enough time to sample the product.

 

[imaplanner]

Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer Beer!!!!!!

WSU MUP! Ruination is usually super hoppy and bitter. I'm guessing your bottle was old enough to where the hops were starting to drop out. A good fresh Ruination takes those hops and punches you right in the face with them.

Speaking of Sierra Nevada, has anyone tried the Kellerweis? It's delicious, and a perfect summer beer IMO.

Somebody else told me the same thing. I still have a few more left but the ones I've had so far have been pretty consistent. Maybe I'm just getting more used to IPAs in my old age or my taste buds are still fried from all the Hopslam I drank this winter.

I am moving soon, too, so know exactly what you are going through. I have a rather extensive beer bottle collection that I don't really want to move so I'm thinking of just arranging several at a time in a line and taking pictures of them all so I can catalog them later. I also have about 100 various peices of barware and pint glasses, etc. I'm going to try to sell.

 

[Dan]

Currently drinking a Brewery Ommegang Witte. It tastes like a close cousin to La Fin du Monde from Unibroue, which is a regular in my fridge, albeit with a lower percentage of alcohol. A good, well-rounded summer beer; some spices, some citrus, a little bit sweet, and very drinkable, yet full-bodied.

Is Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard worth it?

Before we moved from Colorado I gave my bottle collection of 2100+ to a liquor store in Greeley that was planning on putting them up in the store. Never made it over there to see if they did or not. But they filled a pick up bed to the height of the cab plus a full size delivery van. Not a duplicate bottle in the batch and only two beers that I didn't actually drink.

 

[imaplanner]

I have just been collecting six pack labels, cutting them into squares big enough to say what they are and collecting them like oversized baseball cards. I haven't counted in a while but it has to be at least 2 to 300 so far.

 

[Hink]

I refuse to go back through and see if we talked about this but kentucky bourbon barrel ale is amazing.

With ribs on the Ohio River.... I am a happy guy.

 

[prana]

very nice! Love the bourbon stout.

Had some tasty IPAs in Portland over last weekend. So much more to explore though.

I didn't find anything that absolutely knocked my socks off...but...and this is huge...we found a house less than a half mile to the Horse Brass and Belmont Station. If you don't know of those, definitley worth looking up. We made a trip to Portland a few years ago specifically to go to these two places and now that is my 'hood! Very excited!

Wow prana, that is exciting. Nice 'hood!


Green Man is a micro-brewery in Asheville that has been producing very good ales for several years, but only serving it at their place. Recently they have been expanding and getting out to other pubs. It's now here at my favorite watering holes. Great stuff and glad to see the Green Man out more.

 

[Salmissra]

Rangers played the Twins last night. Saw a large advertisement for Grain Belt beer. Anyone heard of it? Tried it?

I'd like to Beer Swap with that person, if possible!

I am a huge fan of the Laurelwood Workhorse IPA. I've been to Horse Brass but not Belmont Station yet. If you are into sour beers you absolutely HAVE to go to the Cascade barrel house. just don't orer their regular beers. Best sour beers ever, but their non-sours are not so good.

Also- not quite portland (stevenson, WA, across the river) but definitely check out Walking Man. Their Homo Erectus IPA is one of the best I have ever had. They also have a CDA based on that beer that they call Big Black Homo.

BTW- I'm sending you a pm. I'll be passing through portland in a few weeks.

Retro old-man beers: yes, they're still around, and they can be a guilty pleasure. Last night a friend and I spent a few hours around the fire, drinking Utica Club. Canned. I polished off about six scans, and didn't even feel a buzz, thanks to UC's 3.7% alcohol ABV.

I classify a "retro old man" beer as a cheap lager or pilsner from a regional brewery, of the kind your grandfather or old uncle would have in the basement fridge, which can be hard to find among shelves filled with Big Three macros and hundreds of micros. Some examples of old man beer:

* Genesee
* Utica Club
* Stroh's
* Ballantine
* Schaefer
* Schlitz
* Old Style
* Rhinelander
* Blatz
* Old Vienna (Canada)
* Labatt 50 (Canada)

NOT old man beers

* Old Milwaukee
* Milwaukee's Best
* Natural Light/Ice
* Keystone
* Busch
* Lone Star
* Beer 30

 

[Maister]

emphasis on Guilty when speaking of pleasures

I have a soft spot in my heart (and around my waist) for 'old-man beers'. I've got a 12 of Old Style sitting in the fridge right now and last month had a 30 of Strohs. My favorite local grocery store likes to rotate their beer stocks on a regular basis and frequently manage to bring in a surprise oldie but goody (Black Label!). Before they completely vanished about 6 years ago, the old Falstaff labels would qualify as old man beers. I'm sure 3.7 alcohol ABV is par for the course where o.m.b is concerned. Virtually any micro one can name is going to taste better than an omb and have more kick, but nostalgia is the one thing omb's have going for them.

 

[prana]

broke into the stash yesterday for our going away party...
2001, 2003 and 2007 Bigfoot
2005 Rogue Imperial Stout
2005 Bourbon Barrel Stout from a little brewery in Prairie (?), Wisconsin that I can't even remember the name of. Stillwater maybe?
2010 Abyss

Is Little Kings in this category or just old-hipster?

I'd like to Beer Swap with that person, if possible!

It's been many years ago since the last time I had Grain Belt, but I remember not being impressed with it, probably because I also tried Leinenkugel at the same time and really preferred it. I was in Minnesota at the time so they were local beers.

I don't know about the new version, but the old version was the cheapest rot you could get back in the 70's. It went away for a while, so I have not had any since they brought it back.

 

[Maister]

I hereby nominate 1983 as the year the US brewing industry reached it's nadir. The craft beer movement was yet to be born and maybe four breweries producing remarkably similar tasting beer dominated virtually the entire beer market.

Does anyone have figures available on what % of the beer market 'craft' beer sales account for today?

 

[Dan]

Nostalgic Generation Xer who went to college in the late 1980s, perhaps.

But they filled a pick up bed to the height of the cab plus a full size delivery van. Not a duplicate bottle in the batch and only two beers that I didn't actually drink.

The funny thing is that a majority of those bottles are ones that I managed to sneak out of the bars around town at various times. I've drank a lot more than that but either forgot to take the bottle home or my (ex) wife inadvertently recycled them. Of course I also just drink drafts a lot of the time.

2100 bottles is most impressive. I hope to come close to actually matching that number someday. Likely won't ever happen, though. I do have a cousin who has a collection probably close to that size, though, and he has all the bottles/cans lining shelves that wrap around almost his entire basement family room. It is amazing.

A lot of people forget that much like cigars, craft brewing went through an initial boom and bust period in the late 1980s and early 1990s before experiencing a renaissance in the late 1990s. There's a lot of micros from 20 years ago that are no longer with us,

 

[WSU MUP Student]

So went through a little less than half of my extensive beer bottle collection. Here is the list so far...

And the rest of my bottles...

(

That's about 145 bottles you need to take back for deposit. For $14.50 you could get a couple really good beers or a 6 pack and maybe another two good big beers or take yourself to your favorite bar for a couple pints. What on earth are you waiting for?

For Father's Day my wife bought me the book "1001 Beers You Have to Try Before You Die." Just flipping through it I've knocked out a few, but I've got alot of 'research' to do now.

Cool book with excellent descriptions and background on how the breweries developed the beer.

 

[Planit]

In looking through my new book, I found:

Aecht Gehlenferla Rauchbier Marzen (Dan & Maister)

and

Lawnmower (Salmissra)

both of which I've tried ...the Lawmower thanks to Sal! ...along with several others

They also listed better known beers like Newcastle Brown, Budweiser (American & Czech versions), Anchor Steam, Dogfish Head 90 Minute & MidasTouch, Terripan's Rye Pale (yo bubba), Bell's Two Hearted, Fat Tire, Pilsner Urquell and even my avatar's origin.

I have that same book (got it for my birthday last year or maybe it was Christmas) and put little Post-It highlight stickers next to the ones I've tried. My problem is I find a few that I really like and never deviate too much. I just never think of going outside my comfort zone.

I also have to thank Salmissra for the Lawnmower. That was a great one.

The Terrapin Rye Pale was a good one too. Being able to enjoy that in the beer tent was always one of the things I looked forward to the most going to Bonnaroo each year.

Maybe now is the time to consider another Cyburbia beer exchange?
