Re: Tonight's Beer
Had my share of PBR back in the day....was cheaper than Coca-Cola....lots of good times with PBR & Nat Light...back then a splurge was Michelob or Lowenbrau.
I do enjoy the selection of fine beer we have today, but I also find the number of different beers at our supermarket to be overwhelming at times.....yes, a bad problem to have.

Re: Tonight's Beer
Honestly, I didn't start enjoying a beer until I was in my mid twenties and living in Europe so now I am discovering domestic beer for the first time. I have tried a case of about everything over the past year.Carter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 4:46 pmHad my share of PBR back in the day....was cheaper than Coca-Cola....lots of good times with PBR & Nat Light...back then a splurge was Michelob or Lowenbrau.

Re: Tonight's Beer
I went to college in Central Florida in the early 80's....Hooter's was a brand new concept and one of the early locations was near campus. They had a loyalty program of "Drink Your Way Around The World"....think you had to drink like 300 different beers and they gave you a "free" jacket, anyway I completed the task. It was a ton of fun and surprisingly, the food was decent back then, it was closer to backyard cooking than the highly institutionalized stuff it is today. It was a good beer education and the scenery wasn't bad.

Re: Tonight's Beer
drank one of these last night...I am a fan of the style, have brewed a few batches of my own and generally find the different flavor profiles amazing with just barley/wheat yeast hops and water.
I think this one is remarkably good considering its always available

Re: Tonight's Beer
anyone try this ? 
I think it kinda sucks like they put just enough cara malt to change the color but not the taste

Re: Tonight's Beer
Bumping the thread with one I had a couple weeks ago. Too boozy for me, but not bad.
Re: Tonight's Beer
I remember when you could buy bottles of Hunaphu at the tap room for like a week after release. It wasn't really that long ago now that I think about it...
Re: Tonight's Beer
A good run on this thread! This is tonight's beer.
Fullsteam Brewing Coffee is for Closers. They call it an iced coffee porter. Coffee is the strongest flavor but it is also very creamy, both in mouthfeel and in taste. It's sweeter than most porters and extremely smooth. I like it a lot and I would highly suggest anyone who can get Fullsteam beers try this one out. I am really starting to love this brewery.
I'm sorry I didn't think to comment a week or two ago. We got some serious snow, some six to seven inches and almost a foot in some nearby areas, which stopped the world. There was plenty of Yuengling on hand, but I took the chance to walk to the grocery store and buy one of the make your own six packs of whatever beer looked good and some other staples. Then I went home and drank some of the craft beer, made pasta and a tomato-heavy bolognese, ate all the pasta and drank the rest of the craft beer, and made a brandy and tripel sec eggnog, which I also drank. I refrigerated everything with snow, including the beer. I left the Yuenglings there overnight; it was magnificent about noon the next day.
Tim, I tried that Sam Adams lager this year and I was disappointed, too. Mediocre. Samuel Adams makes enough good beer I'm willing to try most anything they do, but I'm not surprised when they miss the mark.

Re: Tonight's Beer
OT: would love to see a review of it, gladius. Checked them out with the sale this month but decided I'd rather put that money towards some U.S. makers I'm waiting to try.

Re: Tonight's Beer
Right! Not so much anymore. You have to shell out a lot of cash to get bottles. I went to the event the last two years. Not going this year since they moved it to RayJay.
