NoCalMike Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 After a round of disc golf I hit up Knee Deep brewing co and Moonraker Brewing co for the first time. Great spots only about a block from each other. Took home a growler of Trumpkinhead Pumpkin Ale from Moonraker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I usually go on a beer run during lunch on Fridays. Usually I will get a sixer or bomber of something Ive never had before, usually an expensive imperial stout or barrel aged old ale. Today, a lot of my tried and true easy drinkers were fresh and im kinda happy about it. Fresh sculpin, fresh grapefruit sculpin, fresh laguinitas sucks and 2 bottles of maines something beautiful. All tasty easy drinkers and I might even wake up tomorrow not sluggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 We just spent 10 days in Europe, split between Ireland and London. The beers over there are fantastic. People say that the Guinness in Ireland tastes better. It's true. It tastes great. I drank lot of it. The Irish, and Brits, really have their act together, when it comes to beer. I love the imperial pints, (20 oz). We hit a lot of pubs, and I tried as many different beers as humanly possible. Most of them have a lot of taps. The "real ales" are very, very good. With the exception of one bottle, and one can, all I drank was draft beer. It was beer Nirvana 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently in a great erase for UK beer and choice is getting better than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I snapped pics, of some of the taps, especially the ones that I liked in particular. When we start wading through them. The one bottle that I had was in Bath "bath ales Darkside" It's a dark, dry beer. Very, very good. I'll try to remember the others. I drank the "real ales" most of all, as we can't get any of them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Last week I was at Tapp'd Bethesda (cool bar by the way), and I had the New Belgium Citradelic Tangerine IPA on tap. Really enjoyed it, got that dry bite of citrus hops on the first sip. Crisp tingly mouthfeel. Had about six pints of that and went home drunk and happy. Very good beer.

Dan T. Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Walmart has gotten into the craft beer market. They have introduced their private label beer, brewed under contract by something called Trouble Brewing - which really isn't a brewery, it's essentially a fake name created by North American Breweries, which brews beer brands Dundee, Genessee, Honey Brown, Imperial, Labatt Blue, Labatt Blue Light, Labatt Blue Light Lime, Magic Hat, Portland Brewing, and Pyramid. A 12-pack of Walmart beer comes with four different styles - 'Round Midnight Belgian White, Cat's Away IPA, After Party Pale Ale, and the Red Flag Amber. A 12 pack costs 12 or 13 bucks.

Rodmans right now has a mismarked sale item - 12 pack cans of Bells Two Hearted for $8.99. Im pretty sure they meant to put the 4 pack of 16 oz cans on the $8.99 sale but got it mixed up.

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Clown Shoes brewery turns 7 this month so they are rolling out a variation of their dipa Space Cake with Space Cake #7 where they use 7 diff hops diff ways. I really like Clown Shoes and their offerings so Im going to grab a few bottles. Sucks, I got some Surly Abbrassive but its almost 60 days old and you can tell it has turned and is on the decline. Guess I will have to crush them this weekend. Can you drink on a Z pack? edit - space cake # 7 write up -- http://tenemu.com/news/clown-shoes-celebrating-seven-years-with-space-cake-7-in-december/10/2016 Edited December 16, 2016 by Why am I Mr. Pink?

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Well that was dumb. Between drinking beer over the weekend, not strictly complying with the times I was supposed to take the various pills and going to the MNF game .... my pneumonia didnt get cured. Anyone have anything special for the holidays? I got a bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County stout, just a regular bottle. My lady went behind my back and drank my Praire Bomb which I was saving for xmas eve. Rodmans has the "rare" version for $95 which has great reviews but $95 for 1 bottle is out of my tax bracket. Tried a couple bottles of Clown Shoes Space Cake #7, a variation of their space cake celebrating their 7th year in the biz. Really good, slightly thinner than reg space cake with less malt but more floral/fruity hop nose to it. If perfect pour doesnt tap their keg of Alpine Nelson by christmas eve, I might just buy a bunch of bottles of space cake #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Check these awesome gifts out. http://www.newschoolbeer.com/2016/12/ten-beer-gadgets-add-holiday-wish-list.html I am thinking about buying that fizzics waytap. That item was on sharktank a few weeks ago also a great idea my friends and i thought of for the holidays. Each of us brings the number of beers for the number of people at the party. Then we all exchange with each other to have the number of different beers to try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) I picked up a bottle of the seizoen on the left and as I was driving back to the office I started thinking "when did alpine start doing saisons, they are really stepping out of their comfort zone" . . .. i get to office and google "alpine saison" and didnt find anything. Apparently that is not alpine but from a farmhouse brewery in Oregon. Doesnt that look exactly like alpine labels? Anyways, im more excited now. A farmhouse ale from a farmhouse in oregon? Yes please! Also, I left one bottle of wicked weeds freak of nature at magruders, I hate being the guy that cleans a store of a hard to get beer. cheers and new years! edit - I came in here to post that i find a good bottle of saison for $14 or so is a much better alt to champaigne for holiday events.
