Favorite Beer

one of 12 i brought home from the brewery

you lucky duck

[dillanharp]

I think Red Stripe or Session might be my favorite every day beers.

[oyolar]

I picked this up today because it looked so good.  I really like it, but I wish I could get a vanilla porter with a stronger vanilla taste.  All I got was a coffee porter taste with a vanilla aftertaste as it warmed up.  I want a smack of vanilla.  But that's probably because I really like vanilla.

from the last few weeks:

looks like ocean water and tasted even worse, really dissapointing since im such a huge fan of the show. Sig's Salmon Burgers from grocery outlet were good tho.

not my favorite from Firestone but good nonetheless

got this for cheap from my work but it was flat (i think when it was dropped the little thing inside exploded or something) so that kinda sucked, will have to try ? it again.

this was good. but after trying a couple of the red ones i think i like those better. just easier to drink. like Nallid said, really good everyday beer.

i never heard of this company so i was really surprised at how good this was. i know they sell one called Hop Czar at one of my stores so ill try that when it goes on sale.

also big shout out to Nallid who got me the growler of Pliny thats sitting cozy in my fridge. ill probably sip a few glasses on thursday cause my next day off isn't til friday.

Dude, I don't want to complain but that glass needs to go. The shape and the bubble formation is driving me nuts.

[Smell Good]

I always found it funny how beer connoisseurs drink from those snifters. 

[pancake man]

These ones are the worst... who would drink from these glasses?

not to sound like 'one of those guys' but beer is more enjoyable from a glass than from the bottle or can.  when you get into types of glasses that's a more finicky area that beer snobs will argue over.  but there is a difference between drinking something from a glass vs out of the bottle, because aroma is part of taste.  when you put your nose in a glass (even a pint glass) and drink a good beer, it's more enjoyable

if it's a beer that you don't really care what it smells (or tastes) like then it doesn't matter.  if i'm drinking a bud light (which i do sometimes) i don't give a shit about putting it in a glass.  if i'm drinking Sierra Hoptimum it would be a shame not to pour it into a glass.  it's like an insult to the brewers to not enjoy it as it's meant to be appreciated

agree with everything you said. and you're a dick for not inviting me to the russian river brewery, fuck you.

[brycickle]

This is back. One of my all time favorites.

[tangar]

preach on floop. suck my weiner Tale Crab.

[Tale Crab]

I just think the beers would be more enjoyable if you didn't need to lure them out of a fish bowl.

Just brought this from Vermont (I live in Montreal). To make a long story short, it took me about 3 hrs to get to the boarders (fucking traffic), then, the boarder patrol officer coudn't belive me when I told him I was going to the Alchemist Brewery in hopes of buying a 4 pack of Heady Toppers so I got sent to the boarder lobby where 3 officers questionned me while 2 other dudes searched my whole car. When I finally arrived at the alchemist BP, they we're just out of booze, so I spent $ 120 (25 beers = extra $25 of duty fees at the Canadian boarder) at the Winooski Beverage House instead ...

I'm showing these pictures so that all you West Coast dudes can be grateful of living in the world's craft beer capital because over here in eastern Canada, we have to spend a whole day just to get a hold of some west coast beers ! It was all worth it thought, I've been dreaming of trying these brews for a while, I'm drinking the '10 stone IRS atm and it's fucking amazing! can't wait to drink the speedway and try out the 1000 IBU mikkeller !!!

Sorry for shitty quality pics

Julz, the craft beer scene seems to be on the up and up in Montreal if I remember correctly. Brutopia on Crescent was a great little brewpub

i too could try to lend a hand

[pancake man]

YO, I'm driving up to Montreal at the beginning of August. I could easily transport the beer over to Julz. Get this, each person gets to personally bring over 24 twelve ounce bottles of beer, a litre of wine, and 750 mL of liquor. EACH FUCKING PERSON

oh god that would be fuckin' amazing !!! Thank you for the support everybody but I don't think we can trade beers, I'll ask on the local beer geek forum to see if there's anything we can do. I'd love to exchange beers and get some foreign feedbacks on my local products.


Pancake, If you're seriously planning on going to MTL, make sure you stop by Brouhaha pub
