Wild Wolf American Pilsner.
Unseating the champagne of beers with this sparkly, heady concoction for realz yo.
The flavor is quite sublte, dry, mildly bitter, with a solid hop note. A flavor that also reminded me of champagne. Pretty interesting for a pils when I'm used to more bite from stuff like a Victory Prima Pils or Oskar Blues Mama's Lil Yella Pils (the latter being, I think, my fave).
Sessiony alcohol content.
Tonight I'm trying out a new stout I just randomly came across in a small grocery store up in the Sierras. It's a Black Flag Imperial Stout - American Style 22oz. 11% ABV. I just got the one, but I'm thinking I may just have to go back pick up a few more.

Anyone know anything about Baltimore Washington Beer Works / Peabody Heights Brewery / RavenBeer?

(I got red nectar and trois pistoles instead)

I did a beer advent calendar this year and completely forgot to post any of it here. I bought most of the beer in advance and labeled it with a day, then drank it.
Here is a picture of most of mine and some of the girlfriend's.
Edit: What a terrible picture. It's uploaded from my phone with the IB app, but it obviously didn't go full-res. I'll try again from home.

Oo, mine eyes detect at least 2 of New Belgiums Lips of Faith series in there. Glad im not the only one who drinks the wierd beer. Nice haul. I've got like 15g of homebrew on tap right now so commercial purchases are at a minimum at the moment. #firstworldproblems

big heads up to all the kings up in here.
trader joes has bottled some unibroue beer under their own label and are selling it super cheap.


I suspect it's a very similar recipe to their Trois Pistoles which we all know and love.
It's really good. And it's $4.99 for a 750mL bottle.

That Rogue double chocolate stout is pretty damn good! ^
I'm quite fond of this recently. Cheap, and simple. But my inferior taste buds are easily pleased when it comes to beer. I don't pick up on the subtleties people talk about.

New ones I tired this past week:
Avery Brewing Hog Heaven
RoughTail Brewing Polar Night Stout
Green Flash Brewery Palate Wrecker
Unfortunately, there are a ton of beers we don't get in OK.

surprisingly drinkable imperial stout. almost had a tart/tangy hint followed by a smoky after taste (that could have also been my salmon...)

it was part of the payment for watching a neighbor's cats. winnar!
