Let's talk good beer

Wow so the midas touch is not good. White grapes belong in wine. Not happy but ill push on through
Edit: decided to switch to six point resin. Ill save the dogfish for guests when they are drunk enough that anything will do.

Sixpoint Bengali Tiger is top notch

They only had this sixpoint. Its a mom n pops shop that i try n stay loyal to. But i might have to venture into a spirits n look for that. Thanks.

Grabbed a pint while I waited for some food to be made last night.

Elysian Brewing Company - SuperFuzz Blood Orange Pale Ale (http://www.elysianbrewing.com/elysian-beers/superfuzz-blood-orange/) - Nice hoppiness but not overly bitter. Good citrus flavor.

Then went next door to the beer shop and made a 6er. Had 4 of the 6.

Nectar IPA Beer - Humboldt Brewing Co. (http://www.humboldtbrewingco.com/nectar-ipa/) - Great hoppiness. Definitely worth a try.

Session Premium Lager | Full Sail Brewing Co (http://www.fullsailbrewing.com/session-lager.cfm) - Smooth drinking lager. Would be a nice jumping point for non-craft drinkers

Rumble IPA | Great Divide | (http://greatdivide.com/beer/seasonal/rumble-ipa/) - Great IPA with a very caramel aftertaste. It was almost weird. You get the hoppiness as you drank, and then this smooth caramel vanilla favor on the back end.

Allagash Brewing Company - Black (http://www.allagash.com/beer/year-round/black) - Ended the night with the Allagash Black. Great stout beer.

Have an Allagash White and a Oskar Blues G'Knight left to drink.

Does anybody have prior drinking experience with Firestone Walker Brewery? Someone told me I needed to try, been sleeping on them apperently.

I've had the Union Jack, good IPA

You'll find the Union Jack on many IPA top-ten lists, and the Double Jack is likewise high on the best-of-DIPA lists. Both are worthy, IMO. I was lucky enough to get on a list at a local beer store for the annual release of the Firestone Stickee Monkey, a Belgium quad style aged in whiskey barrels. I'm letting it age a little (got the bottle in June). Bottom line is that you ought to give at least the Union Jack a try.

Just found out I've probably got Celiac disease :-(

Still have to undergo biopsy to confirm, but pretty lame.

Anyone know of any good GF beers? The Omission was pretty good. I've had redbridge and haven't been impressed. I'm more of an IPA guy myself.

Bumping this list and adding this one for IPAs:

The definitive top 10 IPAs, chosen by a panel of beer writers (http://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/the-definitive-top-10-ipas-as-chosen-by-a-hopped-up-panel-of-beer-writers)

here is the list of beers for Fenwick in silver spring which has a vast selection ..

Fenwick Beer and WIne - List of beers we sell (http://fenwickbeerandwine.com/list_of_beers_we_sell)

walked down to fenwick .. they didnt have russian river, bell's or ballast point but thankfully they did have a sixer of firestone walker union jack which cost $19. I was hoping to at least get an IPA from one of those 4 brewers.

fenwick is pricey (a sixer of dales is $13.99) so i imagine the firestone usually goes for $14 or so.

at $19 a sixer, that is not a receipt i want the wifey to find.

had a draft of baltimore beerworks "tell tale heart" IPA as we had dinner at annabelle lee's a few weeks ago, it was really really good.

Nice list with the IPAs. I have three in my fridge right now, Two Hearted, Torpedo, and Stone.
