Let's talk good beer

It's a once a year release. Not a seasonal.

Well I need to load up then, thanks mike. Had a bottle last night and this is my kind of stout. Having tried a 2014 cellar one and now a fresh one, letting this stout sit for a few years really makes a huge difference, much more mealy and bodied. fresh is really good too.

Tried a farmhouse/saison bottle from Hill Farmstead/braisserie last night and it was really good. Like beer champaigne but much more mellow and smoother than any saisaon/farm i have ever tried. Going to save the second bottle for a special moment, might have to try and get a few more bottles for the holidays coming up. if they are still there. this is a beer that non beer drinkers would enjoy. light, crisp, subtle flavors, nothing overpowering or off putting.

praire bomb - had a bottle last night, not as good as i remember but that was after splitting a bottle of the saison above. def not worth the 12.99 i paid for one 12 oz.

its like a beer explosion around the DMV with all these new breweries suddenly on the shelves.

Expedition Stout is available now until February.

At the beach this weekend. Hitting up a bottle shop I heard had an excellent selection. Wish me luck. Tomorrow Berlin MD's Oktoberfest (Burley Oak is running the beer garden) and other debauchery and then Sunday Funday watching football in West OC, with at stop at RAR on my way home.

A guy at perfect pour said they get one big batch that they spread out to last them 2-3 months.

You love those beach beer trips, jealous. I dont know how you do it with your kids, I got 1 and I cant take a shit without having her kick down the door.

Over the summer I really got into some craft pilsners. Love having something light (with flavor) that I could pound 6-7 of without a) wrecking my palette or b) getting me trashed with high ABV. Any recommendations that are still fresh right now?

Champion Shower Beer was my beer of choice all summer.

My folks have a place and I have friends down here. I'm working today with a partial view of Rehoboth Bay. Not complaining whatsoever. It's hard, but my wife and I make it work. Usually the kids are up her ass, so I can take my deuces in peace :D

@TMC - I don't slide into too many pilsners. I tend to gravitate towards lower IBU IPAs for my sessions. But I have had a few. Check out Sixpoint's The Crisp and Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yellow Pils. Not sure you get Evo down in your neck of the woods, but their Pure Pils was pretty good. And Burley Oak's Bilsner was delicious.

LOVE Little Yellow Pils. Will look for the Sixpoint option. Thanks!

I love me a good IPA/Stout/etc., but some of those just fill me up or destroy my palette in the case of IPAs. I won't lie, I do enjoy having quite a few beers at once, lol. Right now, been loving the Oktoberfest options out.

that reminds me, i love this beer called "little bo pils". i've never seen it in any stores, just at this sports bar in redondo beach.

they also had this, french fries topped with cheese curds, gravy, and filet mignon. fucking fire!

Favorite pumpkin beer out there: Schlafly Pumpkin Ale

I usually don't get too into the pumpkin craze in fall, but I make an exception for this one.



Good call!

it's called poutine there, as well. looks like the filet mignon was a bonus!
