Skinz4Life12 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Nocal, I'm moving to SD in 2 months Can't wait to take the brew tours out there Schlafly is definitely my favorite of the pumpkin beers I have had. I thought that Pumking tasted like the buttered popcorn jelly belly. Wasnt a fan, dont understand why its so popular. Had a couple other people taste it and they agreed. Also, Alewerks Pumpkin Ale is pretty good. Not great but a solid pumpkin beer. It tastes like gram cracker, vanilla, and pumpkin to me Edited September 24, 2013 by Skinz4Life12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm up in Sacramento, quite the drive, but if you are ever up here for 'Skins games lemme know. Sierra Nevada brewery up here is amazing, as well as many others. CA is a great state for craft beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 For those that have had and enjoy Pumking from Southern Tier, have you had their stout version, Warlock? http://www.stbcbeer.com/black-water/warlock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 New Belgium is a heck of a brewery, my favorite is Deschutes Black Butte Porter but anything from there is a pleasure Is it better cold or warm? Or is it OK to start it off cold & not care when it gets warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Is it better cold or warm? Or is it OK to start it off cold & not care when it gets warm? I prefer porter slightly chilled or room temperature,not a fan of ice cold beer except to guzzle. when I go out I usually let it warm up awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Stouts are oftentimes best close to room temp. Guinness Extra Stout is a good example, I don't put that stuff in the fridge at all. 72 degree Guinness is guzzle-worthy. Warm beer? No thanks.

Samuel Smith's is a low alcohol stout with the body of an extremely heavy stout. It's pretty baffling, great stuff. Their Brown Ale tastes like a classy cigar, literally. Always wanted to have some with a cigar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.T.real,lights,out Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for sharing that Dan. Very cool. Had Harpoon UFO the other night for the first time. I like it a lot. Thought it was better than Blue Moon. Finding that i like a lot of the Harpoon products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Enjoying some Enjoy By 10/25 at Tap 42 in Ft Lauderdale. Fantastic. Earlier in the week I had Funky Buddha's Moro Moro Blood Orange IPA at the brewery. Had a big grapefruit bite to it. It's 7.7% ABV. Very good. Nice alternative to their Hop Gun IPA. And two weekends ago I hit the Lion and Eagle Pub in Boca Raton, FL which has a few Cigar City bombers in the back fridge. Had Cigar City's Last Spike IPA. Pretty good though I must admit it was a little bit of a let down. When I heard that Cigar City and Coronado collaborated on an IPA, I had huge expectations. Pretty good...but not one I would go out of my way for. Edited October 4, 2013 by Southtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 had my first pumpkin beer (Blue Moon) ,not bad, I will have to try some of the other like Pumpking Good luck finding Pumking, that stuff sold out a month ago. I actually rank Schlafly Pumpkin ale right up there with Pumking, had a Greater Pumpkin brewed by heavy seas, which is a Bourbon Barrel aged Pumpkin ale and thought it was awesome.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm on the hunt for the Southern Tier Warlock and Flying Dog The Fear. Want some dark pumpkin beer. I agree with GoSkins, the Schafly Pumkin Ale is just as good as Southern Tier Pumking. Will be looking for the Starr Hill Pumkin Porter as well, good heads up Skinsfan-1215.

I think it mighta been a bad batch. Guess I'll try it again. Got some Newcastle and Lenies Oktoberfest for the game tomorrow. Good craft beers for newbies. Newcastle is actually pretty damn enjoyable. Edited October 12, 2013 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Do Itch Big Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 For West Coast Breweries, don't sleep on Drake's out of San Leandro (right below Oakland) they are coming up, have a good IPA, world class Stout, wonderful Porter and a Nitro Stout available only on tap at the brewery. Also, Northern, CA is peppered with TONS of small operations that just don't have good distribution yet but if you are ever in the Bay area or Sacramento Valley, there is a LOT of good beer around. Can you recommend any? I'm in Davis, and I want to start expanding my taste in beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My dad picked up a Sam Adams hop-whatever variety pack when I was home for the weekend. I tried their Double Agent IPL, which I hadn't tried before and found intriguing. The beer was quite tasty. It had a very different body than an IPA, was much easier to drink. But there was still a strong hop taste, very citrusy. I was pleased. Definitely a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
