Back to the thread…

I have no idea if this is still available. I found it earlier this year and bought several over a few week period. It’s pretty awesome

I'm a big fan of chocolate beers!!! My favorite is Youngs Chocolate Stout........

 

[gunjunkie45]

Now all we need is for some one to admit to drinking Schlitz

They tracked down the original pre 1964 recipe and started selling it in select markets. It's not bad.

I completely forgot about this one. I used to live near a Scottish restaurant that had this on tap. So good

 

[BAMAboy18]

I had become a true snob when I started brewing my own.
My favorite was "Big Als Crimson tide" a red malty ale that was dry hopped. I made a banana whit that was light a fruity but 12%, so it was served in small glasses. As well as a berry wit also high gravity at 11%. I was a founding member of FLAB (Ft Lauderdale Area Brewers) another member won the 1st Samual Adams long shot contest with his summer ale. Since then micro brews have proliferated the market, making it all but impossible to taste them all. I really like to mix 1/2. Guinness with a fruity wheat like SA cherry wheat or purple haze!

To the folks who recommended Dragon's Milk, thank you. Never heard of it before, tracked some down, and just tried some, damn that's tasty!

 

[Halfnutz]

100 beers here in St Charles MO. I only brought 1 liver.
Most are in cans but they have some excellent options for the connoisseur.

 

[Odysseus1911]

Brats and Schneider Edel Weisse. Simple pairing but I am really enjoying it.

Wonder if @TheGerman, has any favorites when it comes to German beer?

 

[lyman]

Here is another good one, Chimay Blue. It kind of has a cool story. It is a trappist beer, and like all trappist beers it must be made by monks. Those dudes sure do have the art of beer making downView attachment 7752671

put it in a dark cool closet for a year,
or more

then drink it,


it ages very well

 

[lyman]

^^^That's a great beer. It's sister, Delirium Tremens is actually my wife's favorite beer.

O’dell IPA is one of my favorites. They also had 90 Shilling aged in rum casks only on tap at the brewery last summer(maybe?) that was absolutely incredible. I love everything about O’dell. I think now that New Belgium has been bought out, O’dell may be the best CO craft brew(just my very biased opinion).

Kind of a similar story behind this;

Samichlaus Classic | Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg

Samichlaus Classic is a Doppelbock style beer brewed by Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg in Vorchdorf, Austria. Score: 90 with 2,257 ratings and reviews. Last update: 06-28-2023.

www.beeradvocate.com

I have 3 bottles that have to be getting close to 30 years old. I made a maple pecan barley wine (such high gravity that it won't carbonate) it was pretty rough to start with, but it too is 30 years old now and has aged well, very smooth and a flavor that's pretty yummy! Got 7-8 bottles left.

Oh man, you brought out the Samichlaus! And cellared at that. Well done, sir.

Ale beer is Golden Ale of the Gods , their is allot of beer some better than others. Their is no bad beer, the best beer is free beer. If you ask a women what is the best beer and she answers cold beer, merry her.

Ever been to Oskar Blues in Lyons ? ( their original place).

Odells is good though.
Lady friend likes their sour.

A few times but not in quite a while. We just stopped for lunch going to or coming back from RMNP.

Found some, it even came with its own glass. Delicious

Edit: whew, and strong too. I’m not finished with the first glass and can feel it

I'm looking for some of that, haven't found any yet.

I have some giant liquor stores near me, that’s where I found mine.

 

[greg1147]

Never could develop a taste for it even though I lived near Pittsburgh

 

[quietmike]

I remember this from high school. Made Milwaukee's best taste like heaven.

 

[gray1974]

Another good beer by Voodoo Ranger.

 

[Betedtf]

Someone has sand in their vag.

Prolly puts ice in whisky and cream in his coffee.

And maybe even doesnt eat BACON!!!

I think IPAs were created by "men" with man buns.

Drink my bourbon neat, don't drink coffee, an love bacon.

If you have a Costco, I think you'll find it there as well.

Two bottles with the glass? Walked by it last night, but didn't note the name.

 

[Redhook]

I'm not an IPA aficionado, but here are two I tried recently that I would buy again.

Waldo's is a great triple. Too bad they only produce it once a year.

Delirium Christmas | Delirium

IBU: 26 A strong presence of alcohol, very spicy, slightly bitter. The aftertaste is sweet, spicy and slightly bitter.

www.delirium.be

Impressions I got were this; it tastes like Fat Tire from New Belgium but smoother and a lot stronger. Very good

My dad drank that. German farmer from Illinois. He didn’t have Budweiser in the house until we were all out of the house!

I'm a big fan of chocolate beers!!! My favorite is Youngs Chocolate Stout........

Even better if you can actually find it FRESH on nitro tap. In my opinion, their oatmeal stout was even better (on Nitro).

One of my favs. I need to search around here. I have some from 2017 aging.

Where are you?

 

[BytorJr]

Where are you?

'Bama.

Sadly, folks here think beer is the shit coming out of our local microbrews - some of it is ok, but nothing like Delirium Noel (or Nocturnum). Another favorite is the Gouden Carolous Noel which may actually be better than Delirium depending on the year.

Found the above’s little brother. It’s still 8.5% abv so it’s no slouch and very tasty

 

[mewillis]

^^^^^looks yummy, I was in Targay today and they had Yuengling dark "Hershey" beer. It appears everybody is
getting in the game of Chocolate flavored beverages I'm in for sure.......

 

[Odysseus1911]

Tonight's selection. . .
Roasty malty goodness.

 

[FWoo45]

More local swill. Pretty darn good.

 

[bunsen27]

My everyday beer is Yuengling Lager for reference. These are some beers that have caught my attention recently. Two are local to NC and one is very limited distribution to Wisconsin.

I can get the Black & Tan variant in NC which is quite nice too. When I’m back in Pa next week I’ll see if I can snag a sixer of this to try.

 

[mewillis]

anybody drink Grolsch??

 

[theLBC]

anybody drink Grolsch??

back in the day. i am not sure if it was more because of the unique top, or the taste.

 

[theLBC]

we also drank carlsberg elephant back in the 90s, cause it was stronger than most.

 

[The D]

anybody drink Grolsch??

Haven’t had a Grolsch since the tops were still ceramic. Not because they changed it, just because there are so many other good beers

 

[ColinW]

Absolute best beer ever made and among the most rare to find. End thread
