^Hah! You see that, Derek? Heath will come up to Buffalo!

 

Hey, I'll come to Buffalo too (someday when its not snowing). After all, there's still a few breweries up there I need to get to. And I am kinda running low on Anchor Bar sauce.

 

Maybe Heath can pick me up on his way, he's got AWD, I don't.

Ugh, why would anyone want to go to Buffalo? Especially this time of year?

Still not ready for the 12 days of Christmas, after last weekend I'm still very much on an IPA kick. First, with my dinner out of Prime Rib, I decided to get one of the only good brews offered, a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Bret would have been in heaven at Austins with a nice Prime Rib sandwich and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Pretty tasty!

That west coast goodness that I miss so much

Back home, time for a Lagunitas IPA

The best thing offered in a world of Heineken, Corona, Bud, Bud Lite, and Amstel Light

The Fifth Beer of Christmas.

 

Yet another of the infamous Ridgeway Brewing offerings.

 

The Warm Welcome English Strong Ale/Nut Brown, complete with "Santa getting his buns toasted" label.

Not bad. A little too watery but had some decent taste to it. Fairly sweet and malty with a hint of nuttiness at the end.

Let's just Grossman doesn't play like he just drank a six of Hop Devils!

Focus Rex, focus.

 

No worries! SexyRexy pulled it together. Everybody has their rough periods. Now we can sit back and relax through week 1 of playoffs since our Bears have a bye!

Wow, a HopDevil IN a Greak Lakes pint glass. Wally must be seriously yearning for a trip back East!

 

and my leg is proud to call you a friend, Matt Jacobs!

Tonight was pretty good to me. First off, it was time for me to attack that growler of Odyssey IPA from Sly Fox that's been in my fridge since Friday night. Secondly, it was taco night. Could things get any better on this 12 Days of Christmas Eve?!

OMG, they can!

Round 3, with Tacos! Could things get any better?

Round 2, still good stuff

beer12120603.jpg.f8a9edd212489a6ef1c7b1c611af3104.jpg

Its hoptastic, though I can't really taste all 11 different types of hops. Need a better palate!

Gotta break open the growler while its still good

Tonight, I figured that I needed to work on more of this Stone 10th that I have laying around, lest I age out all that fresh hop character.

Still holding up, so far...

^If you can't, you know where there's ALWAYS a HopDevil!

 

Decided I may as well finish the night, no need to worry about "if a growler is good for 48 hours or not!"

Done! and I still solved the mystery on House!

This is a young, hearty liver in action. Don't try this at home those under 21

This past weekend, the lady and I went to Claddagh, a very small Irish pub chain mainly in the midwest. I got a Murphy's Stout. It was a good strong Irish stout, kind of like a Guinness with not as much bight, but a little sweet with an ever so slight chocolate after taste. It made my taste buds dance.

That is some damn fine beer.

Ah yes, not posted on here recently. So this evening it's Juggler's own.

Smack lips and make an "Ahhhh" sound.

Take glass in hand and sample the delights on offer.

Allow head to settle.

Approach barrel and angle glass for the perfect pour.

Its December 13, 12 days before Christmas. So, what a perfect time to start documenting my 12 beers of Christmas. First up, Lagunitas Brown Shugga', a Barley Wine. Very strong alcohol taste mixed with a good sweetness (from the brown cane sugar added to it) and also some fruitiness, like plum. Also a minute hint of jasper, sage, and other things people don't actually ever taste.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, beer! (actually, I gave it to myself)

Brown Shugga, how come you taste so good

The Sixth Beer of Christmas and part deux of Ridgeway Brewing Elf trilogy, the Seriously Bad Elf, a English Strong Ale.

 

This wasn't what I was expecting, very light, more like a pale ale. Very strange taste, with malt first and then some fruitiness (perhaps juniper?), and finally hops. Not really my cup of tea.

This Elf was up to no good with my palette. Seriously.

For the second beer of Christmas, I took myself to Stoudt's Brewing Company down the road. They've got some pretty good stuff, but its usually the same stuff all the time. Well luckily for me they got bored recently and starting brewing some new stuff, just in time for their 20th anniversary!

 

For the 2nd beer of Christmas, Stoudt's Chocolate Nut Brown Winter Ale was up to bat. They took their regular Winter Ale and tweaked the recipe a bit, from a normally amber ale/porter mix to a nut brown. Then, they infused cocoa into the whole thing, giving it a really good almost stoutish finish. Really good stuff, and not much alcohol taste.

 

Then, since I was there, I grabbed their cask of the moment, the Scarlet Lady ESB with Chamomile. Also very good stuff!

Seriously, it had chamomile in it, and you can taste it (unlike other random dumb things people claim is in their beer)

The cask conditioned was wow, room temperature bitter (like England) but with Chamomile finish. Soothed the soul!

Chocolate Nut Brown Winter Ale; cocoa smell, nutty start, nice chocolate/coffee finish

I just made a trip to my local Beer Store and LCBO, so I've got a bunch of new beers to try. I was exstatic to find a sampler pack of Samuel Smiths that not only included 3 of their beers, but also a glass and a couple coasters.

 

Here's my upcoming beer list that I'll be posting this week:

Tuborg Gold

Faxe 10%

Stiegl Pils

SS Nut Stout

SS Pale Ale

SS Oatmeal Stout (this is my most anticipated of the group)

 

I'm going to make a return trip fairly soon because they also have the SS Holiday welcome beer that I want to check out as my first seasonal beer.

 

We honestly have an extremely limited selection up here. The Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is the only beer in the stores up here that cracks the top 100 on the ratebeer.com list.

 

If anyone else on here uses Ratebeer.com then you can check my list that is quickly growing. Just look up Goodeone. And if you've got an account on there please post your name so that I can check out your list too!
