Calling all Brew enthusiasts
« on: October 28, 2007, 12:30:27 PM » |

So I just found out that there's a Beverages and More near my new apartment and I went to check it out and found myself in beer heaven. any suggestions on new beers? there's just too many to choose from. I like most beers, hefs, dark ales, pretty much anything except bitter belgian beers (blue moon is the exception). I wanted to get some Rogue Hazelnut brown but they were sold out, so I got a bottle of Hopf Weiber Bock (looked interesting) and a 6pack of Bard's dragon stuff (cheap $2.99/6) going to go back soon, lol i'll probably apply for a job too.

I'd love to participate, but odds are I couldn't get my hands on 75% of them without crossing state lines.

great idea! fwiw the bard's tale dragon gold wasn't half bad. kinda sweet and more of an ale than a lager as it's labeled. $2.99 a six, that's a pretty damn good price! (reg price is supposedly 9.99)

Looks like I picked the wrong week to lose weight. (actually I had a beer and a glass of wine last night, so my dry period is over)
Let's try a Brew of the Month in November. If we get too many suggestions at once, maybe we can have a poll to get it down to one to focus the efforts.
I love trying new beers, but I'm in a rut these days and just pick a lot of the old favorites, so I could stand to try something new.
This reminds me of a beer tasting that I once hosted where I asked a bunch of friends to bring a bottle of beer or two of their favorites or what they had on hand. My girlfriend (now wife) took all the beers and put them in non-descript containers labeled Beer A-J and we grabbed every glass/cup I could find. We tasted, discussed, snacked, and argued for hours.
I was going to post everyone's rating grid and notes afterwards, but I forgot. The only thing I remember is that Pilsner Urquell came out with the best aggregated ratings and Sapporo was the worst.

I work P/T at a sushi restaurant. I've noticed that everyone likes Asahi over Sapporo, but I actually like the taste of Sapporo.
