I freely admit to being a hops loving beer snob, but I adore this little brown ale.
Maybe it's because it's endorsed by Fatfluffybitch. Maybe it's because I just shared a bottle with my dog.
Maybe it's just because it's a good all-weather, subtely hopped, not quite an IPA, not quite a stout, low diesel (localish to me), delicious beer.
It is now my favorite.

I had a Rogue New Crustacean Barleywineish Imperial IPA Sorta at my local craft beer haunt on Friday. It was... interesting. Like someone poured half a Double IPA into a barleywine. Sweet, rich, pleasantly hoppy. I liked it.

I would like to say " Siberian Night, that is all " ... but there was also Terrapin "so fresh and so green", and Kona "Pipeline Porter"
And there may be something else at home

I had the Evil Twin - Molotov Cocktail the other night. 13% double imperial IPA. Was pretty tasty.

Stupidly opened up a batch of Big Bad Baptist #55 when the Uber driver dropped me off at home. Way more barrel than the last few batches I've had. Not sure if I'll make it through the bomber by myself. Hope one of the room mates come home soon, otherwise I'm out by tko.

Upon recommendation :

Is this the real life? Is this Beastie Boys fantasy?

Of course you have not lived until you've served a keg of Brass Monkey to a crowd of people, and at least drank a gallon yourself

I think I just had a flashback to 1973.



To be honest, I didn't even know they still make that stuff.

Good ol' slick mick.


I usually grab a 40 of it when we have our annual winter time classic outdoor hockey tournament around Christmas. :beer:

I hadn't seen it in many years. Not as drinkable as I recall from my misspent youth, lol. But fun once for nostalgia sake.

I also picked up something new at the same predominantly Mexican-patronized store. Victoria cerveza. It pours as a slightly darker, reddish lager and has none of the skunk that is present in Corona or green bottle Dos Equis, or Heineken. Not bad at all for an American style light lager brewed in Mexico.

Oh man, it's been a good night down under...

Everything local to tas, except the xs which I bought on an already drunk whim at the bottle shop :) glad they take AE.

Nice. Today is the release of Mother Earth's "Silent Night", a big boozer beast of a stout. I'm DDing the gang down to Kinston fire fantastic BBQ and imperial stouts on nitro. Going to bring home a half case of so. Silent night has been one of my Xmas eve traditions for a while now.

This is just good.
I think i'm drinking it too cold.

General truism for all beer: If you think it may be too cold, it's too cold.

Yup.
I let this one warm in the garage while i finished the last one. Mucho mejor.

Good day for beer. Bad day for diet. 2013 Sexual Chocolate, 2012 - 2015 Silent Night, 2014 Gingerbread Stout, and a little bit of our homebrewed Breakfast Beast from last fall. Delicious bishes.

Yuengling Porter all day for me.

I'm starting to think that maybe the 6 I bought sat next to a space heater in the sun for a couple of weeks before it made it into the cooler. You are not the first person I've seen say that its a decent brew, so perhaps its time to give it another shot.

We are supposed to be getting more Yuengling out this way, more than the Summer Wheat and the Lager anyway. I'll have to look around and see if the Oktoberfest or Porter (Dark-Brewed Porter?) have made it out here yet.

I'm not gonna get to go. Sadface.
