Yeah, I'm trying to do the popular fall styles together, so I'll get to the brown ales soon. That's a good brown ale, Sierra Nevada delivers a range of consistently good beer. That's pretty much a given. They're like Dogfish Head's classy brother that lives on the West Coast. I said it on the last page, I got me one of those beers (Life & Limb) Cost me $15, but couldn't pass up a collaboration by those two breweries.

GoSkins561 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Speaking of Sierra Nevada, they are now packaging 12 packs of Torpedo for the same price as the Pale Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I love this time of year for beer. Stocked my fridge with magic hat hex, a Sam Adams harvest variety pack, and I'm going to load up on Blue Mountain Brewery's Evil 8 this weekend.

I feel the same way about Sierra Nevada (DFH's classy brother lol). Lagunitas is in the same category for West Coast beers IMO. Where did you find this collaboration at? I would gladly shell out $15 to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the Soviet guy at my local deli put a small display of craft bombers up last month. Literally all of them I've never seen before in my life. That's where I got the New Belgium beers and it's where I got the Life & Limb. I really wanted to get a second bottle of it for immediate drinking because I'm determined to age the heck out of the bottle I have. Yesterday I stopped there after work and it was sold out, so after crying, I picked up a bomber of New Belgium Trippel, and a six pack of Heavy Seas Dubbel Cannon. The Trippel is for the pregame ceremonies and the Dubbel Cannon is for the game. Edited September 26, 2011 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Heavy Seas Dubbel Cannon (Belgian Style IPA) Aroma and flavor generally mimic one another - A lot of yeasts/breads/toast, also getting some wood notes, not sure if this was barrel aged or what. Seems like it. You can taste the Loose Cannon IPA in this. It's a cool mix, but personally I'd rather just have the Loose Cannon or a good Belgian.

SloppyOneXXVI Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Anyone else love pumpkin beer as much as I do? I tried Southern Tier's Pumpking Ale this weekend. $10.99 for a 22 oz. beer, but totally worth it. The taste/smell is pretty strong, but the beer is 8.6% ABV, clearly not a beer you drink all night. (Not that anyone can afford to anyway). I highly recommend just trying it once. Totally worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) The Pumking is the best fall seasonal beer I've ever tasted. I went to the really nice beer store up the street today and got Southern Teir's other fall seasonal, the "Harvest." Also picked up a couple beers I've never heard of before. Porterhouse Oyster Stout and a Uerige Doppelsticke (German import). Also got a bottle of Orval Edited September 28, 2011 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that is my fiancee's favorite beer. She loads up on it when we go to Total Wine. It is very good for a fruity beer. Sea Dog also makes a good Apricot beer and a good IPA.

AsburySkinsFan Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Not a bad list, but IMO missing some notables . http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/27/25-most-alcoholic-american-beers-from-samuel-adams-to-dogfish-head.html Primarily Samuel Adam's Utopias. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale which varies from batch to batch due to the variations in the barrels (8.5-12%), same with the Jefferson's Reserve Stout.

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale which varies from batch to batch due to the variations in the barrels (8.5-12%), same with the Jefferson's Reserve Stout. I never get how they get beers over 20% alcohol (unless they distill the beer after fermentation, but that would make the product liquor)...I wonder what yeast they use for fermentation because as soon as a beer reaches ~20% most of the standard brewing yeast will die. They must have strains that can tolerate high alcohol that are not available to us homebrewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
