Wow, Brewdog Hardcore IPA (Explicit Imperial Ale) REALLY did not work for me. I love Imperial IPA's, double IPA's and the like, but this is much closer to a barleywine IMO, with a very malty sweetness and almost syrupy mouthfeel. (And I like barleywine a lot, too, but I found this unpleasant; it left a really bizarre aroma in my pint glass.)

Oh man, I've been trapped in Philly for two days due to snowshitstorm, but I turned it into a beercation. So many good beers from Monks Cafe that I won't even attempt to spell at this time.

Kind of curious to see how this bar fares:http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2010/11/kalamazoo_beer_exchange_main_s.html
"Kalamazoo Beer Exchange allows the prices of beer to fluctuate based on patrons' buying trends."
― Zsa Zsa Gay Bar (jaymc), Wednesday, 29 December 2010 22:16 (thirteen years ago) link
The prices will change every 15 minutes and there will be, at random, a “stock market crash” — signified by air horns — when all 28 beers are sold at a low rate for five minutes.
Haha, awesome!

For a sec I was thinking that was actually in the wall street area, which led to me doing a near spittake at the "base" price for a beer being three dollars.
ps love this idea

don't know how available it is outside of new england but "our finest regards" by pretty things is the best barleywine i've ever had. that style usually gets kind of sick with malty sweetness to me; this is more like a steroidal brown ale or something.

I'm not fond of other New Belgium beers, but for a reasonably priced American IPA I like their new Ranger. Same IBU (70) as some of the double IPAs I love (like Widmer Deadlift) but 6.5 vs. 8.6 alcohol makes it a bit more sessionable. I like the bottle shape, too -- remeinds me of a retro root beer bottle.

I got a Harpoon Winter assortment and it was all good, but their UFO unfiltered hefeweitzen was GREAT. I got to find some more of that stuff. I bet it is even better on tap.

Kinda bummed out by the Harpoon chocolate stout. Seemed sort of thin? And the chocolate flavor was sorta artificial. I did really like the Sierra Nevada porter I had this week though.

Old Rasputin is great; I don't like a lot of stouts but that one is something different. It's pretty intense though.
I had a black IPA from 21st Amendment tonight and thought it was fucking vile - something about it was just wrong and unappealing. They're the assholes who made the watermelon wheat beer so I though I'd give one of their real beers a chance but it might have been worse because I wasn't expecting the watermelon one to actually be any good.

Bells hopslam tonight. I usually don't hesitate at buying expensive beer, but this was $17.99 a six pack. Kept me from buying 2 of them at least.

21st ammendment's IPA is stellar.just bought at the specialty shoppe:
Dulle Teve (by De Dolle)- one of my fave Belgians
I Hardcore You (Mikkeler, Denmark) - i really love what i've tried by these guys
't Smisje Kerst (De Regennboog, Belg.)

8 bucks for 6 tallboys of a very nice porter. i guess it was their winter seasonal. spring is going to be a bock and i've already heard good stuff about that too.
i'd love to see more brewers working in this space--excellently priced, accessible versions of classic styles.
