LIRR Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Captain Laurence is a tiny brewery located just north of NYC. It isn't widely distributed and if you find it the Freshcester Pale Ale and Liquid Gold Ales are most refreshing. Unlike many craft brews the still taste good on the second pint.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted October 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2015 Here it is (a big one you'll notice) nice malty, hoppy, dark lager beer with a lingering finish. It's wonderful stuff. Don't miss out !Even SWMBO likes it and that's saying something!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2015 That Ninkasi beer does sound rather nice. A lot of their beerrs are hoppy whereas I generally prefer dark or malty beers. They have anice brewery and tasting room in Eugene and only a stones throw from Oakshire Brewings tap room.

AndrewC Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 For those in London the nice people at Bottle Dog have 20 different beers from Ballast Point available at the moment. Ales by Mail are also having a US beer tap attack on Sat at their bottle shop on the Bermondsey beer mile. Many California brews in the UK for the first time.

Don't miss out ! Even SWMBO likes it and that's saying something!! I had meant to post this for a while. These were the Oktoberfest beers (locals and nationals) that I tasted at home this year. I missed one of my usual favourites - Widmer Brother's Okto. I couldn't find it bottled here in the 'burbs, though I could have made the effort to find it on tap downtown. One restaurant that had it had just moved to a winter seasonal when I asked for it. I have to say that the Sierra Nevada offering was probably the best and closest to style - despite their reputation and usual preference for being heavily hopped. I’m going to get some Yeunglings “Octoberfest” this week...... It's a shame they're not distributed 'out west'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autocoach Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The brew list at my local today December 4, 2015: The Drink List 0 Two Rivers Hard Apple Cider 2072 Eight Bridges Hoppy Salvation IPA 22 Guinness Stout (N2) 2104 Deschutes Pinedrops IPA 226 Widmer Hefeweizen 2287 Auburn Alehouse Hop Donkey Red 629 Sierra Nevada Best Bitter 2291 Drake's Brette Davis Eyes - S (10oz) 696 EJ Phair Ditzy Blonde 2357 Berryessa Mini Separation Anxiety 960 Drake's 1500 Pale Ale 2549 Mike Hess Brewing Grazias Vienna-Style Cream Ale 968 Drake's Denogginizer 2553 Drake's Rise Of The Dark Gord (10oz) 1343 Pabst Blue Ribbon 2554 Drake's Living After Midnight 1537 Firestone Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout 2555 Drake's Jolly Rodger '15 1794 Calicraft Oaktown Brown 2556 Drake's Jolly Rodger '15 Ferkin(10oz) 1973 Mission Brewing IPA XX Black and Tan This list changes twice a week. The numbers refer to the "connoisseur" club which gets your name plastered on a wall of fame/shame for each 100 different boutique brews one consumes. Some heavy drinkers claim to have consumed over 2000 different beers, stouts, porters and ales. The Black and Tan and cider don't count. There is something cult (occult?) about the Pabst Blue Ribbon for 20 something techies. Personally I find it disgusting dishwater no better than a Dud. I could suppose one uses it with the Guinness to make the black and tan. Truly revolting. The local is Pete's Brass Rail and Carwash in Danville, California. (There is no brass rail, no carwash and who the hell is Pete or so it says on the young female servers t-shirt.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken, yes, the PBR + hipster intersection is a bit weird. I think it's a "we're cool because we're so different" thing (ie not drinking Bud, Miller or Coors) yet ironically they are essentially doing just that - drinking generic Ameri-rice lager. Of course the Brooklyn, NY hipsters drink Narragansett. I think the last time I drank PBR, I was in a Milwaukee pizza place. It was obligatory. And perhaps 20 years ago.

rockershovel Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 "Female server"? Is that American-ese for "barmaid"? Fully agree that most American beer is gassy weak slop, only fit to be drunk cold when it's stinking hot, although it does serve THAT purpose rather well (seeing as cider doesn't seem to be popular over there) Being "ironic" is so "hipster" it's practically "meta", along with all the Rosie the Riveter look-alikes covered in tattoos ...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 5, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2015 There are many superb craft beers in the USA with over 4000 craft breweries these days. The problem with them is that many are over 6%. Stone Brewery beers are mainly rocket fuel strengths Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockershovel Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Depends how cold your room is... Apologies, it was just a figure of speech. I spent my formative drinking years in East Anglia and most of my local pubs served beer straight from barrels sat on shelves at the back of the bar. For home parties, we'd always get a firkin of Abbot, three days beforehand, bang in the tap and then let stand on the kitchen worktop to settle. Marvellous stuff and very fond memories. Much as I drink gassed and chilled beers these days, they still fall a long way short of the local beers back in the 60's/70's. Interesting contrast there. I started drinking beer in the early 70s (large 16-year-olds having few problems of that sort in those days) and Greene King was wildly unreliable, a new barrel could be good or it might taste as though it has come straight from the Cam's murky, slow-flowing stream. CAMRA did a great service by demonstrating that traditional beer COULD be brewed snd served at a consistent quality, at a sensible price, and there was more to drinking beer than quantity. Their woolly-pulley wearing, farcically bearded beer-snobs have long been figures if fun; but they did have a perfectly valid point and we would all be poorer without their stance in the 70s and 80s Anyway, I always knew it was near Christmas because Tolley Cobbold produced a dark, heavy beer, best drunk in the Spade and Beckett in Thompsons Lane..

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted September 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2016 Santa brought me three bottles from Ommegang including the Three Philosophers, the Chocolate Indulgence, and the Hennepin, as well as the Two Roads Road to Ruin. Once I have finished them, I will report back once I am able. Cheers, Andy 8 months and no report so I'm assuming they knocked you for 6! Has anyone tried either of the Oktoberfest brews by Sierra Nevada or our own Ninkasi Brewing company. I found the Sierra wasn't as good as last years and the Ninkasi way too hoppy for a lager. Not bad though. Shaun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
