Let's talk good beer

[BDBohnzie]

@OTM - Trust me, I had been planning to hang out with a buddy of mine who lives in West OC for about 5 months now. Took us that long to nail down a weekend. Just glad I finally found time where we weren't busy with family stuff.

Had some friends over Saturday evening, so I grabbed a few 6ers and had some friends bring different beers.

Lancaster Brewing's Winter Warmer Ale - I loved last year's version, and this one I think is better. Great winter spice bite. Very drinkable.

Sixpoint Brewery's Global Warming - My first beer from Sixpoint, and found it quite tasty. Imperal Red IPA, good hop bite.

Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla Porter - Decent porter. Wasn't fantastic but worth trying.

Newcastle Werewolf - Decent red ale for a macrobrew.

Instead of dessert, I opted for a DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus topped with homemade whipped cream. Whipped cream soaked up the chocolate peanut butter porter and was delicious.

I have not enjoyed the beers I've tried from them. Been a few years since I tried them though, maybe I should give them another run. They can change over time, for sure.

I only started drinking their beers recently. Their Milk Stout is pretty good, their double chocolate milk stout (tap only) is heavenly.

Had a few beers over the holiday weekend:

Dominion Brewing Morning Glory Espresso Stout - Decent coffee stout but not better than Flying Dog's or Evo's

Lagunitas New Dogtown Pale Ale - quality pale ale. have loved everything these guys do

Schlafly Kolsch - Great drinking beer. Smooth, goes down easy. Would be a good beer to introduce craftbrews to that one guy who still only drinks macrobrew.

Grabbed a 6er of this for New Years, but ended up drinking it yesterday. Had 4 of them. Since they are 9.9%, I felt very, very good. Helps that it is an awesome beer. I have yet to have a bad beer by Lagunitas.

Had a 6er of Uinta's Baba Black Lager, which I've had before. Very good lager. And a 6er of Pub Dog Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, which was just ok. A lot better chocolate stouts out there, but these guys are from MD so I gave it a whirl.

sculpin is so hit or miss with me. BD you must be right about the shelf life.

i dont get it.

the last 2 six packs have tasted off but the sixer before that was awesome.

at 14.99 a sixer, i dont think i can continue to gamble on them.

definitely looking forward to this one

thats nuts, i cant wait to try it. I see these 22 oz bottles from sierra nevada that i have never heard of but never pull the trigger bc they are $6-10 a piece. i will pull the trigger on this one.

i also grabbed a 6er of brown shugga, it was good. i liked it. i need to get off west coast IPAs every now and then. def a strong ale.

i dont have the article in front of me but did a flood ruin a large portion of the market's barley?

beer prices are soaring like gas prices in the mid 2000s. unionjack went from 12.49 to 12.99. telltale heart ipa and a lot of others went from 8.99 or 9.99 to 10.99.

The articles I saw on the flooding of the barley crop said it won't affect beer prices in 2015...
