The NEW Beer Thread

[Gibby]

The influence of beer has many different meanings, but this list is about taste and those trailblazers who dared to brew.

As a guy who only weighs 160, I kind of like the idea of session beers. Not all the time mind you, but some of those 7-8% brews do make the outing short for me. Usually at home, I like the first one to be a bit higher than normal.

Bob, I was drinking Lagunita's Daytime IPA today. A hoppy but modest brew at 4.65%. Yummy.

Da Vinci would be proud?! A beer dispenser built into a La-Z-Boy.

Quite surprised on this. You really can't find Yuengling outside of the Delaware Valley Area.

Yuengling is available all over North Jersey. Ditto with Western PA. Yuengling is also advertising in bars like crazy...approaching Coors Light saturation.

I have had Yuengling as far north as Vermont and as far south as Florida in the past couple of years. I do remember though when it was hard to find Yuengling outside of the Delaware Valley. Some years back I once asked for a Yuengling in a bar in Vermont and the answer I recieved was, "sorry, we do not sell any Japanese beer" .

For those who are fans, Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' is on the shelves right now at Canal's in Berlin.
Mmmm,mmmm good !
I am a fan.

I believe I read somewhere that Yuengling is having problems with the town they are located in.

More like Philadelphia is on them for unpaid business "privilege" tax. Sounds like something the Philly Mob came up with.

I went to school about 10 min from the Yuengling brewery and it was the go to beer in our bars and parties. I had tried their Lager before, but doing keg stands, beer funnels, and playing beer pong with the black and tan or porter took some getting used to. lol
A buddy of mine there went to high school with one of the family girls with last name Yuengling. What a catch of a wife she'd of made. Millions of dollars and free beer!

Heres one I fell in love with, Innis & Gunn Irish Wiskey Cask.
Marianne found it for me at Medford Wine & Spirits. Stout, wiskey and oak, how can you go wrong?

I had a sumptuous, ass kickin' IPA tonight.
Great Divide Titan IPA . "Assertive and Aromatic", so says the label.

At 7.1% alcohol, I was a fan before I opened the bottle!

 

[Spung-Man]

OK,

Anyone up for a Hoo Doo Porter?

[dogg57]

No HooDoo for me but I will have a Voodoo instead

 

[bobpbx]

Where were you Mark? I suppose that is a different country? Tell us about it.

 

[Spung-Man]

Bob,

I just returned from Fairbanks, where I will be working on Pine Barrens soils with the University of Alaska (College of Engineering & Mines; School of Natural Resources & Agricultural Sciences). UAF has great expertise on cold climate dynamics not available in the lower 48 States. We met at HooDoo Brewhouse to break the ice. Three beers on tap, American IPA, German Kölsch, and Stout. I had a pint of stout and it was delicious.

[bobpbx]

Very interesting Mark. I may have been there once...I rember it being on a grade above the rest of the town, and they had preheaters you could keep on your engine blocks. You could see the peaks from the Alaska range in the distance.

 

[Spung-Man]

Yep,

Everyone had plugs hanging out their grills. Subaru is a popular brand.

HooDoo has well-made craft beer, brewed in the heart of Alaska. Fairbanks is one of the few places I can talk about Pine Barrens nondiastrophic thermokarst involutions over a beer, and don't get punched in the nose!
