I know! they say if they sell a million cases this year, they'll reopen the RI brewery. we could use the jobs so I guess I better get started on polishing these off.

So I'm doing this thing where I drink the whole beer list from my neighborhood bar. It's going to make me drink a lot of beers that I normally wouldn't even think to order. Like porters, because I hate porters. Here's what I've had so far:
Stone IPA3 Floyds GumballheadLefthand Milk StoutTwo Brothers Domaine DupageGreat Lakes Dortmumder GoldTyranena Rocky's RevengeDark Horse Reserve SpecialO'Fallon Smoke
I started with my favorites but quickly realized that I need to get the unfamiliar ones out of the way first. Actually like the porter, which is surprising. The Tyranena is a brown ale that was really good and a style I don't normally like.

Add Metropolitan Flywheel Lager to the list. Too light and fluffy though.
― Jeff, Thursday, 21 October 2010 23:18 (thirteen years ago) link
lately... coors, bud. in 16 and 24 oz cans. dark times.

Cool project, Jeff. I should try that!
Currently enjoying a BridgePort IPA. Solid if unspectacular.

i always want to send ian $20 in the mail when he posts like that
― john water (harbl), Thursday, 21 October 2010 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
you can paypal me, harbl! ;) it's not that i don't have money actually, i just spend it on food and weed and records and so lately i have been trying to keep the beer budget low.
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Thursday, 21 October 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
For some reason I really am not a fan of Bridgeport's IPA - it tastes like the homebrews I've made which isn't a good thing.
― joygoat, Friday, 22 October 2010 00:18 (thirteen years ago) link
Still drinking the list at my local:
New Holland The PoetFounder's Red'sNew Holland Dragon's Milk
All good! Surprised by the poet since I don't normally like oatmeal stouts.
― Jeff, Friday, 29 October 2010 00:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Finally tried Founders Breakfast Stout. Was enjoying it until someone I was with had a sip and said it tasted like soy sauce.
― jaymc, Friday, 29 October 2010 00:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Also, what do you consider yr local, Jeff? Delilah's?
Dmk burger bar. Because they got this drink the list thing, I'm here like every other night.
Turn anything into a game/competition and I'm hooked.
― Jeff, Friday, 29 October 2010 00:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha. I think Sheffield's has something like that, too. Anyway, we should hang out there sometime. I loved their salmon burger.
― jaymc, Friday, 29 October 2010 00:33 (thirteen years ago) link
(DMK, that is.)
A byproduct of drinking the beer list is that I'm most likely going to end up eating the burger list as well. Somehow that seems less glorious.
Let me know when you want to go.
― Jeff, Friday, 29 October 2010 00:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh no, not in my home bar!!!
Green Flash Le Freak. Tasty, potentially deadly.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 00:47 (thirteen years ago) link
North Coast Pranqster. Drinkable. Tasty.
Wow, I suck at describing beer. Especially while actively drinking beer. Just try everything.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I had a Le Freak a few days ago. Will drink again.

Been drinking a ton of Rogue John John Ale. Like an Arnold Palmer for alcoholics.

i dunno what i was thinking. i almost never like wheat beers. but i had a trappist thing that i liked and thought i might be ready to branch out. i was not.
I had the Stone Vertical Epic 10.10.10 and the Sierra Nevada Estate Harvest Ale last night.
The Vertical Epic was a Belgian trippel, with some botanical additives. 9.2%!!! Belgians are not usually my thing, but this was pretty great.
The Estate Harvest Ale might have been the best beer I've ever had. Wonderful hop/malt balance, full and well-crafted flavors, and a wonderful effervescence.
Will go back and get another of the Estate this evening. So good.

anyone tried Gordon's from Oskar Blues? a "double-red ale" ... I got a growler of it last week and polished it off probably too quickly. kind of pricey though, one of those $11 for a 4 pack beers.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
gonna have to seek out that Sierra!
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Its that good. Get thee some if you can.
― Sauvignon Blanc Mange (B.L.A.M.), Wednesday, 3 November 2010 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
anyone tried Gordon's from Oskar Blues?
I've had the Gordon and liked it, but the Old Chubb from them is good too and much more reasonably priced ($9 for a 6-pack at BevMo), so it gets my money.
Just had a Vertical Epic recently and liked it. Gonna try the Harvest Ale.

been on a brooklyn black chocolat stout kick, no lie.but right now i am drinking a 24 oz can of Genesee Cream Ale.
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Friday, 5 November 2010 00:20 (thirteen years ago) link
my wife speaks longingly of brooklyn brews, i don't think i've ever had a single one. : /
― omar little, Friday, 5 November 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Man my uncle (of upstate NY stock, now living in VT) LOVES Genesee. loves it.
Brooklyn beers I can take or leave. They're good and all, but I think the distributor here in Chicago must charge a lot because they always seem overpriced in the stores.
― fwiw: lol iirc sb'd u tbqh (dan m), Friday, 5 November 2010 00:33 (thirteen years ago) link
one reason i miss chicago is that the area just seems to get a lot of beer from everywhere and even the divier sports bars have excellent brews on tap. and binny's is just O_O
― omar little, Friday, 5 November 2010 00:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I was at the Binny's formerly known as Sam's on Saturday, could have spent my entire paycheck. I got a 12er of Summit Extra Pale to take to a Halloween party with ilxors.
