Shiner has a holiday beer??? Man would I love to try that.

 

[wheebz]

Well since this is thanksgiving, and I am ready for a beer, time for a good one

when I was in chicago, a teacher of mine learned that Schneider is my favorite german brewery

well he gave me a present

in 1999, they decided to start taking 240 cases of Aventinus every year, and saving them for a minimum of 3 years

well he got me one that was brewed back in 2003

wheebz- just noticed you work at southern tier- you guys make some great stuff!! unearthly oaked is umm...well... unearthly!

 

[JayT]

Wheebz that sounds great! How was it?

 

[wheebz]

actually it sucked

8 years was too much

3 might be better

 

[JayT]

I really liked the '11 DFH 120 I had the other night at Bully's.

 

[wheebz]

meh

 

[JayT]

Kick the keg on Olde School Barleywine wasn't bad either.

 

[biscgolf]

meh

agreed on the 120. super-over-rated. DFH in general is very hit or miss. i do like 60 and 90 though.

Picked up 3 of these the other day with another idea for them but had to try one to make sure that it will work for what I have planed.

Stone Smoked Porter
5.9% ABV

Good beer but as wheebz told me I wouldn't want to drink more than one. While not strong alcohol it is a rather heavy beer with some GREAT flavor. Look for it again soon in a DC post. And yes, I think this will work perfectly for what I have in mind.

Cheers,

I haven't tried that one yet. I had both the Ruination and the Toasted Bastard? (Cant remember the second). I agree that at least with those two more than one is a bit much. Yours looks like it may be pretty cool for like a beer batter. If some of that smokey flavor can come across maybe a fried fish sammy or fish and chips or something. I may have to go on a hunt...

 

[RocketMan]

Dude, toatlly the wrong direction. Let me assist, if I can get through some of this fog.

Ok, close your eyes and think of a Great Bourbon mixed with a Great Porter and Portobello's and


OH, I go too far. Just keep a weatrher eye to the DC and you'll see.


Cheers

 

[MGOLD86]

oooo, sounds good.

 

[RocketMan]

Ok, 2 beer night. Actually I've been wanting to try this and I finally found it

Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre

I can understand why this was voted Beer of the Year in 2000. It has a really great flavor not too sweet and not too hoppy. I really enjoyed this one.

 

[wheebz]

i wish they still made their Raisin D'Extra

that was my favorite DFH product they ever made

 

[JayT]

I am sure it will be back again some day. These things seem to have a habit of resurfacing.

wow. I didn't know Stone beers were nationwide. you mean the oaked arrogant bastard? If you ever find yourself in the area of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly the San Diego Wild Animal Park), you need to make a stop at the Stone Brewery. Food is overpriced as hell, but the beer tasting is ... yeah.

I take my classes to the wild animal park every semester. heh heh.
