Let's talk good beer

Bought a 6 of Brooklyn Winter Ale (or lager can't remember). I'm very impressed. Very good brew.

Speaking of microbrews in general, I'm thinking about heading to my local beer supply store to pick up a growler. I figure, with a brewery down the street (Flying Dog) and 2 local brewpubs, having a grower would be a great way to try different beers. Does anyone else use this approach?

I've got a growler and it's definitely a great (and cheap) way to sample fresh local brews.

tried out the sam adams noble pils, not too bad at all.. went great with pizza to wash it down

also had a few of the rj rockers mix pack.. interesting stuff, not bad at all.. was very chilled when we got it, flavors came out much better after being brought closer to room temp, especially the peach one

Abita jockamo IPA was exellent. The best IPA I've ever tried.

My wife loves wheat beers, so someone brought Sam Adams Coastal Wheat to the house last weekend for her birthday. I had the last 2 last night. Very smooth, light beer that goes down quite nicely. Similar to hoegaarden, but with more lemon flavor.

These guys have made a name for themselves on the Delmarva Shore (hon), and are slowly creeping to the west side of the bay:

:::EVOLUTION CRAFT BREWING COMPANY:::

I have yet to try any of their beers, but if you see them on tap at your local watering hole, give them a try.

dogfish Aprihop is pretty decent can't really taste the apricot but it adds something quite nice to an ipa

tryfuhl · 04-06-2010, 08:20 PM

Yeah they actually reformulated it this year because they thought that it had gotten too apricoty/sweet compared to when they first introduced it. I've only had it once but it was pretty clearly containing the apricot flavor. I'd be interested in trying it now that it's supposed to be more low key.

Speaking of Dogfish Head, they just hired a new brewmaster:
