Beer Thread III - Very Sessionable

VERY NICE! Ommegang makes some fine beers. Got into sours
last summer on an excellent and long overdue vacation to
Wine Country + San Francisco. First day, we stopped at Russian River!
World class brewery that doesn't distribute to Illinois.

Has anyone tried Asahi before? All I know it is from Japan and it was part of my Christmas gift from some friends.

Extremely light, grain flavor.

Yeep it's available at most japanese restaurants along with Kirin and Sapporo.

Grabbed one today at one of the few good beer stores in New Jersey!
P.S. Jersey is too crowded and expensive.

also grabbed a 6 pack of this, local brewery in Philadelphia, good stuff.
Figure while I'm on the East Coast, might as well sample all the beer
I can't get in Chicago/Great Lakes. Yards makes some nice beers.

OH YES! I love that beer.

Not to be a beer nerd, but this is actually a Belgian Strong Dark Ale.
It has a mild sour yeast tone, but not an official sour. I only
know this because I tried a ton of sours over the summer and
they REALLY make you pucker.

Just popped this open and it is mighty fine!
Nice way to start New Year's Eve.

Did everyone here give up alcohol as a NY resolution or something of that nature ?

Young's double chocolate stout. Awesome for this time of the year.

Are you on BeerAdvocate? I am.

Just popped open these 2 beers today:

I go there to check out brews from time-to-time. I have had a few Terrapins in my time. Got to check that one out. Drinking a lot of and learning a lot about wines lately. Someone needs to start a wine thread.

My evil buddy makes me drink Green Flash IPA whenever we are out.

Love it! One could literally drink him/herself under the table with this one in a hurry.

That IPA is outstanding!
NJ is awful for craft beer, they don't make that much but have quite a bit
from other states.

I love red wines! My wife and I took a week long vacation this past July,
1st one since our honeymoon, to CA Wine Country + San Francisco. I tried
a ton of styles and over 2 days we visited 10 wineries.

Had some Sam Cherry Wheat last night. Love that stuff. Perfect blend of beer and fruit IMO. I have it 2nd on my fruit beer list behind Harpoon Raspberry UFO.

I had a Kriek when I was in Belgium and it was like drinking cherry soda.

Ok, besides Guinness what other Irish beers do you like
or will you be drinking tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day?

I used to LOVE this beer, but can't find it anymore in the USA.

Celebrating Ajax's midfield maestro Christian Eriksen and the big win vs PSV today with a delicious IPA from Denmark's Mikkeller brewery.

I believe it is no longer made for export to the US. The Guinness rep in these parts in a dick, apparently, so The Globe used to get Beamish instead but switched to Murphy's Stout because Beamish was not going to be available anymore. They have Guinness now because people were complaining about Murphy's.

Had a bottle of Bourbon County 2008 that I inadvertantly aged, was quite a treat. Only 3 and a half more years until I can have another .

I want one of these box sets...

if u are interested

Never tried an alcoholic ginger beer but I mix up a ton of Dark and Stormys. Generally using Reed's and Gosling Black Seal rum...So good.

That's cool you get Brooklyn Brewery and Sierra Nevada over in the UK.
