Let's talk good beer

Went to Troegs brewery in Hershey 2 weekends ago. My son had a hockey tournament that day. Great place, obviously good beer but also really good "different" food. I suggest if u are in the area to hit it up.

Straight outta Asheville!
One of the better tasting beers Ive ever had....

I'm not a craft beer snob but I was drinking Modelo's Negra while I was tailgating for the Vikings game and it went down very smooth.

I can tear down some Mexican beers. Skunky and delicious.

Yes, really liked it. Have only seen it once but will buy it every time i see it from here on out.

Beer explosion lately.

Picked up a bottle of Founder Lizard of Koz - imperial stout bourbon barrel aged with blueberry, chocolate and vanilla. Ive never heard of it or seen it before, seems pretty limited. $19.99 for 750 ml (25.3 oz) isnt that bad compared to other BA imperial stouts. Should have gotten 2 but money is kinda tight.

Fresh double duckpin (11.9.16), fresh brown sugga (302 6), fresh pure hoppiness (best by april 2017).

Very DIPA heavy this week ... need to add a nice gose or saison.

Dc Brau tripling their production, going from 15 barrel production to 45. . Thats good, sometimes they do some really good one time beers like space reaper that you never see again.

I tease my brother in law, who's go-to is Yuengling, that Negra Modelo is the Mexican Yuengling. Both are good by their own right.

If you're in NoVA and want to grab a festive beer, seek out GBS (http://hardywood.com/beers/gingerbread-stout/) by Hardywood. So delicious.

Nothing wrong w Negra Modelo, that and Stone were the fancy beers in So Cal before the craft beer explosion.

Grabbed a can of BA ten fidy, pretty excited about that, never had.

Firesotne's Luptonic no. 004 is a tasty crushable beer 5.5 abv ipa, and at 10.99 a sixer, easy on the wallet. Tastes like a tastier SN hop hunter imo. I will be drinking these tomorrow so I can pace myself.

2 questions:

1. what is everyones favorite premixed alcohol egg nog? I love this stuff on ice for the holidays. I usually just grab an Old New England or Evan Williams but want to try something top shelf this time.

2. Laguinitas born yesterday - just saw 4 new cases being delivered yesterday w bottle date of 10-17-16. I thought this beer had to be drank within 10 days or so. Am I wrong? Why would laguinitas have a delivery lag on this beer they pride on getting on shelves within 24 hours?

happy holidays, cheers

Its more on the distributors. It will still be tasty but a little faded. If I recall though it went downhill fast after about 50 days from bottling.

Just asking , is the beer pasteurized? If so it should have a least a 90/120 day range on it.

Rodmans must have made an error with their sale - $8.99 for a 12 pack cans two hearted (dob 11-21-16). I grabbed 2 of them.

got a bottle of Hardywood gingerman stout, hearing a lot about it so im pretty excited to try it. also wicked weeds freak of nature and a gose.

should be a good weekend.

giant - i think most craft beers are unpastuerized as there is no real need to do so, i think new belgium (fat tire) pasteurizes their beer.
