Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

[Neighborhood Creep]

O'Dell Myrcenary Double IPA is incredible.

I kept going back for this at Brew Fest the other night

[gazercmh]

Had a little tasting with some friends Saturday night. Among the highlights

Bruery - Filmishmish, a sour apricot beer that was damn good, almost as good as
Cantillon - Fou' Foune, the king of sour apricot beers
Ithaca - LeBleu
Bruery - Mother Funker. A lot better than I expected, especially for the price. I hope I can get more of this.
AleSmith - Barrel Aged Old Numbskull, 2006 - delicious
Bruery - Oui Oui. A little too wine-like for me
Cantillon - Classic Gueuze. always good
Bruery - ISO:FT kinda disappointing
Fulton - Worthy Adversary, a growler of a coffee RIS. It was good but the growler was kinda flat
Bruery - Melange No. 1 - nice chocolate cherry flavor, but as it warmed up it started to taste more like cough syrup

Drinking some Kentucky Breakfast Stout I got in a trade. I've had the regular Breakfast Stout and the Canadian Breakfast Stout before so I am very excited to try this one

Edit: Wow this thing is excellent! I'm am very happy I got 2 bottles of it, but at the same time I'm sad I only have 1 more bottle after this one.

Got to try Pliny the younger at Congregation Azusa last night; 12oz servings and no line. Definitely worthy of the hype.

After that, headed to Beer Belly for the Hangar 24 one night stand and had
Pugachev’s Cobra. It was outstanding.

[bmack86]

That woulda been fun. I still haven't been to Beer Belly, but i'm loving the Hangar 24 stuff.

[brogore]

this beer delights the thirsty soul...

[westcoastpirate]

I just finished bottling my second batch of homemade beer, a hefeweizen. God damn the banana smell made my mouth salivate the whole time I was bottling. The sample I had tasted great! I can't wait to try this one once it's carbed up and chilled!

[captncrzy]

You must save me one.

Drinking a Samuel Adams Griffins Bow Oaked Blonde Barleywine Ale. Holy God.

Yesterday I volunteer at Inland Empire Brewery for 3rd anniversary. Highlights were Kat Daddies 's molasses porter, Inland empire 's Peanut Butter porter and Mango Ginger Saison.Also someone opened a bottle of darklord.I got pretty buzz and when I was pouring beer I started asking really fast to the drunk girls if they wanted two in? Which most of them thought I was talking about about both beers I was pouring and if they did they catch what I was saying usually they smiled and said yes.

Went to AleSmith for their grand reopening party for their tasting room. In addition to all the usual AleSmith goodness, a friend brought a growler of Barrel Aged Speedway Stout that he had been cellaring for 22 months. I thought it might be flat but it wasn't at all. It was delicious!

[sleepybrew]

we've got a wheat ale with lime zest and 40 lbs of agave nectar (among other ingredients) in the fermenters. should be an interesting one.

[Coach Bombay]

Victory at sea is bomb!

haha. I was going to post the same thing... soo good.

[hippityhip]

Got two more of these sent to me... Stoked!

Had a damnation last night, now I'm drinking this...

How the hell did you get the Westvleteren? 8 and 12?! nice.

[hippityhip]

I had an amazing weekend of beer. Had a couple of glasses of Pliny the Younger. Enjoyed this years batch more than last year. Then went to The Bruery and had a glass of Filmishmish which was damn amazing. That led my date to surprise me today with this lovely beer:

[hippityhip]

^ Well that's a small image but it's the Fou Foune by Cantillon. 2010 bottle. fucking amazing.

Where do you work?

[Geno_g]

You mean twice? Yeah, I'm not sure either... I got an 8 and 12 from someone on a secret santa from a different website. He promised to send me two more and I was shocked last week when my mailman rang my door.

I only tried the 8 and it was fucking tasty, but I'm gonna try the 12 pretty soon.

I'm jealous. Cheers!

Yesterday was awesome, but my memory of everything I had is foggy. the Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout and the Bruery Chocosaurus rye were both insane. Everything gets hazy after the 12.5% barleywine I had as my third beer before I even ate lunch. Awesome day drinking great beers in a crazy old theater!

[BoardsofCoachella]

Drinking some Sierra Nevada Norrhern Hemisphere Harvest. I don't think I've ever had a wet hopped beer before this one. The smell is incredible. It tastes pretty good, I would definitely pick up some more.

...the aroma of this is very different from a dry-hopped IPA. The flower scent is much stronger.

[mickflyy]

Drinking cuvee de tomme on draft right now and it is delicious.
