Let's talk good beer

[mredskins]

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.

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 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.

I just wanted to point out that that cuts down on the availability to a larger distribution area.

I had Guinness blonde a couple weeks ago when I had to go to a business conference and it was really good! Only time I had ever had Guinness was the extra stout stuff that we used for Irish Car Bombs, but I didn't know they made that beer in a blonde. It is very tasty - but then again, I hear a lot of blondes can be very tasty! Brunettes and red heads as well!

Finally got my hands on some death by coconut... super delish

I also grabbed a couple of bottles of this year's Bourbon County, $14.99 a pop, I swear I got it for $9.99 last year, either way I'm not complaining

[BDBohnzie]

@otm - Helluva grab at Rodman's. Hardywood GBS is good stuff. From this year's stash, I got a one to drink and one to age.

@mtk - Death by Coconut is a nice beer. I split a case with some friends last year.

Yeah, Born Yesterday falls off pretty quickly. 6 weeks is a bit long in the tooth.

Speaking of pasteurizing, BCBS is pasteurized this year to avoid last year's debauchery. Went to a bottle share last weekend and had this year's BCBS, and it was quite good. I have a bottle of last year's, hoping it's not a bad one.

Last year I was able to get unlimited bottles of BCBS so i didnt bother waiting in lines bc I figured ppl were just waiting in lines for the limited variations of BCBS .. now Im thinking the bottles sat around last year bc of the "infection". I cant find a bottle of regular BCBS anywhere.
