What Beer are you enjoying?

Just a fan of the poster…

Support the Potato Ambassador!

Can’t wait to get those Belgians back into the rotation, mate, alongside some crispy frites as well.

Too brash might be a good way to describe it… I’m not good at describing beers and their subtle flavor notes, I just know if I like something or not. Personally, I bounce back and forth between West Coast IPAs and Hazy IPAs, so I’m not turned off by bitterness. As an example, I recently picked up a 6-pack of the notoriously bitter Stone Delicious IIPA and thought it was, well, delicious. When I bought the Maximus, I was at a store with a limited craft beer selection and had pretty good memories of Lagunitas from past experience so I gave it a try. However, when I tried it, it reminded me of a cheap $8/6-pack IPA I picked up years ago; not nearly as bad but a similar flavor profile. I dunno, there are some beers that I look forward to, and then there’s the Maximus that has been sitting in the fridge for a couple of weeks now with no real interest in having another.

I may or may not have a baby blue baseball cap with a pink trunk and ears on it

Stone Delicious, bitter? I think my tongue is hooked on hops and IPAs.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Stone’s FML, a ‘West Coast IPA’. It’s kind of strong, but so tasty. I did actually love Sam Adams East Coast IPA too. I guess, on your recommendation, I’ll look for a single and see what Maximus does to my tongue. Hmm…

Try FML, if you haven’t. Yum, to me…

Went to Jolly Brewery and Restaurant last night….very good beers and great Thai influenced dishes (the grilled pork jowl is unreal!)

They don’t skimp on the pours for their flights…these were probably 6oz glasses. (Note - the Pilsner was not available, so they doubled up on the Pale Ale. )



Had one of these last night, tasty!

Well now we definitely have to take serious action on climate change
:frowning:

Just last night, had a Stone Delicious Citrus IPA, and bitter nails it. Too much grapefruit.

They’ll just start growing hops under huge domes. :roll_eyes:

Met some friends at our local Prost Beer Hall and showing my support for the potato ambassador!

Sampled an ABT 12 St. Bernardus - a a Belgium Quad wowzers! Will get that next time I’m here.

Well we stayed and my arm was twisted.,

Celebrating getting g into the Marji Gesick for 2024. Reminiscing and looking ahead!

Apponaug Brewery in Warwick, RI……


Choices were

Foolish fire
First Due
Meander Through
Occasional Disruption

I then followed that up with another taster of the Weathering Steel. The first 4 were excellent, the WS was meh.

Found this last week. The second local brewery that did a Märzen -and- was in the grocery store. Tasty.

No idea about the beers, but I approve these names.

Xul PB&J Mixtape (sour) for the wife

Xul Rhymes like Dimes (hazy) for me

When to the Sushi place around the corner (5-10 minute walk), and they just got liquor license. Beer list is completely meh, so I tried a cocktail:

Lychee Mojito

and it was AWESOME for this beer-and-wine only guy.

Best sushi in town!

I need to make a trip to Trader Joe’s, that looks pretty good. Can is cool too!

haven’t seen that at our Trader Joe’s, and from visiting in different areas they tend to have local beers.

Elktoberfest from the new brewery down the street from my house. Tasty.

Good selection of beers, some IPAs, a couple Belgians, the Festbier I had, Red Ale, and Session:

the former brewery at that location did not have good beer.

These guys know how to brew beer :+1:
