What Beer are you enjoying?


Shadow of a Doubt Imperial Porter from Russian River Brewing Company. Tasty!


Seeing as how I’m not well versed in dark beers, this NA version doesn’t taste all that bad.

I’ve been wanting to try that one. I plan on ordering that the next time I make one.

Since the local craft beer store closed, it has been more challenging to get the new releases from my fave brewery, Hop Butcher……but man, was this one good.

Hawaii Cut DIPA….juicy without being too hazy or thick.

With my brother-in-law (birthday two days ago) whose wife was in the infamous Motorboatin pic above. So we had a Morgan Territory Motorboatin’ and then

Don’t normally keep beer in the house, but a friend dropped these over to say thanks. My all time favourite beer. 9% stout from the locally brewery.

I am thrilled that Czech Dark Lagers seem to be on a roll lately….and this one was fantastic.

Revolution Brewing Pragueress Czech Dark Lager (get it?)….so good. And the can design is next level.

Shorts (I believe. Might have been Stone?) had a ‘Christmas Tree IPA’, and I thought it sounded goofy enough to be interesting, and it was really damned good. I haven’t seen it in a few years though, sadly. That brew sounds interesting. Something about the hops playing on the pine flavor made it a 9 to me. :+1:

Last local beer before a trip to sample some foreign beers

Very good, but I’m a sucker for wheat beers with fruit.

Russian River doesn’t miss :+1:

can’t remember ever having a Hop Butcher but will keep an eye out :handshake:

I think I’ve found this weekend’s indulgence; 2 of my favorite breweries and I only live ~3 miles from each but I’ve never seen this collab.

:+1: Found that at a bar in Sutter Creek, up in the foothills of the Sierra (of all places!).




Excellent, well-balanced Hazy. In fact, everything I’ve had from Abnormal has been quite good.



I’m a big fan of Harland’s Hazy IPA and I’ve heard good things about Black Plague, so I was keen to give this one a try, but it was too dry and kinda tasteless for my liking. Still totally drinkable and might come alive if paired with the right food but it lacks the juiciness that I like.




Solid ★★★★☆

Hazy Dreams makes me want to find Abnormal beer locally, and Dream Responsibly.

Also going to look out for Business Oracle.

Good local beer last night, after a couple days in the Costa Rican cloud forest.

Numu brewery

Yummy.

Always read about your beer

We are researching Blue Zones…

:blue_square:

Hopslam YUM!! Didn’ realize it was 10% ABV, 20 proof!! :drooling_face:

I red to get me some of that while it is available.

I was told they will be bring out more minikegs! So hoping one finds its way here somewhere/somehow where I can snag one. I DID end up with one too many years ago. To say it was rare was apparently an understatement, as no one had apparently ever seen one! Luckily I saved the carcass. I thought everyone had access to one. If it was rare here, did ‘anyone’ else get one?

It was so nice having a snort of Hopslam without having to open another can. (I have never seen it in bottles)

Going to crack this one from the event this weekend. Had a few from the keg post race so looking forward to it

Papagayo Brewing’s Tropical IPA, at the marina’s aptly named Dive Bar. Turns out I’m a Chorotega fan.
