skinsngibbs4life Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I freaked out for a little bit tonight. I totally forgot that November was the month of the backwoods **** limited release. I started scrambling, calling a few stores around here to see if they had any in stock. First three stores I called were sold out. Last store I called had a handful of four packs left. Grabbed myself a pack ( they were only allowing one per person). My night was made. Easily my favorite beer. If anyone is a fan of scotch ales / wee heavys, I would highly recommend checking it out.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Holy crap that looks good. I've REALLY been craving some loose cannon, but wanna get my Imperial Stout on. Have a 3 year old Sam Adams Imperial Stout here, dunno if I should wait longer or not. We'll see. One thing is for sure, I wanna guzzle some chocolate stout right now.

dfitzo53 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Picture doesn't show up for me. What did you get for $5.50? I might have to ask my parents if they can pick some up for me before they come over tomorrow. #*^&&$ Maryland not allowing the sale of beer in grocery stores.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Had Leinie's Orange Shandy and Dominion Morning Glory Espresso Stout last night. Great times. Leinies is really underrated, not sippin beers, delicious to swig. That Orange Shandy was good, I could drink 20 of 'em in a session. The Dominion Morning Glory is the best deal as far as beer goes, for me at least. $9.50 a 6 pack? The only beer I can think of priced that well is the Sierra Nevada Torpedo at $9.50 as well. The Morning Glory is very chocolatey, with coffee sharing the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If you can find it, I love McEwan's Scotch Ale as well for a dark beer. Three Floyds from Indiana has one (Scotch Ale) called Robert the Bruce that's pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in MD too, shop at total wine and the perfect pour. I don't ever see Green Flash at $16 or $19 for a 4 pack. That's insane. I think you need to look closer. LOL. I think you might need glasses. Most IPA's are about $10.99 at the most for a 6 pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I just tapped a keg of Yards IPA the other day. I've only ever had it in bottles. I can see it being a regular in the kegerator rotation, (the other's being Heavy Seas Loose Cannon, Victory Hop Devil & DuClaw's Hellrazer) The only "issue" is, with an ABV of 7%, it's not exactly a session beer. It has a slightly higher ABV than the Hop Devil & Hellrazer, and a slightly lower ABV than the Loose Cannon. It's one of the better balanced IPA's that I've ever had. Plenty of hops, but not over-the-top, and enough of a malt presence to make it very drinkable. If you're a hard-core hop-head, this might not be for you.

That's a terrible price for the Green Flash. A quick Google search showed 4-pack for less than that. As far as beer prices go, IMO, Total Wine prices are just okay and not worth a long drive. If I'm in the neighborhood, I'll go in one, but I won't go out of my way. I can get similar, and better, pricing closer to home, (Glen Burnie) We can take a 15 minute drive to Arnold, hit up Fishpaw's or Dawson's in Severna Park, both of which have big beer selections, (though Dawson's has the bigger selection of the two), and good prices. The bonus is that I can hit Broadleaf Tobacco on the way back home and pick up a couple of cigars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Brought home Boston Beer Company's Winter Sampler pack and, so far... all winners. Boo Devils Buttbone. Boo. Why? I've had three or four different brews from them and they've all been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Brought home Boston Beer Company's Winter Sampler pack and, so far... all winners. I guess if you bring that to a gathering, the completely unadventurous friend can drink the mega pedestrian Boston Lager. I mean, you'd think they'd toss in the Boston Ale or something else, at least. I really like the old Fezziwig, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Sam's winter variety pack is one of my favorites. One of the few where every beer is something I like. Old Fezziwig is good and so is White Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Why? I've had three or four different brews from them and they've all been good. I’ve never had their beer. I’m sure it’s good. I’m from the same area as the brewery and know the family that started it. They’re pretty much ***holes, your stereotypical rich snobs in a more rural area. Also, when they started the brewery my perception was that it was pretty disingenuous of them. Blue Mountain Brewery opened in 2007 in an area that I never could have imagined would be successful for a brewery, and I guess they decided that “hey, if they can do so can we.” And so Devil’s Backbone opened a year or so later. Anyway, personal consumer choice, nothing more. (Blue Mountain is also a tremendous brewery fwiw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Lager > Boston AleCherry Chocolate Bock > Old Fezziwig Just my opinion of course. Boston Lager is the popular beer, but it's also a legitemately decent craft brew. The Boston Ale is a mundane amber, probably my last choice when it comes to ambers. Didn't like. Old Fezziwig was boring too, but I spoil the hell out of myself when it comes to dark beers in the winter time.

Southtown Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A co-worker went to Colombia. Asked her to bring me back a beer they don't sell here. She brought me back a 4 pack of this: Bogota Beer Company - Chapinero Porter http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/18881/11164 5% ABV. Always love trying out new beer.

We may not be on the same page as the Cherry Chocolate Bock was probably my least favorite of their seasonal box! The cherry flavor was a little overpowering and sweet for me. Fezziwig isn't my favorite winter warmer/spiced beer by a long shot, and I'd rather go with something stronger, but if someone brings a box to Turkey day on Thursday, I'm snagging that one first!

TheGoodBits Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Enjoyed one of these the other night. A very tasty, complex porter. One of the best porters I can remember having actually. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
