generaleclectic Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Lets see... I think ElToroExtreme, HerBlackWings, and myself had a brand new low in the Wyndham Lobby last night... Colt 45 and Icehouse... Is this even more pathetic than riding Miner Mike at Zuma Fun Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this even more pathetic than riding Miner Mike at Zuma Fun Center? We should be ashamed of ourselves for both! But with the amount of fun we had, I wouldn't have changed a second of it.

65skylark Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The Abyss will be on tap at Deschutes tomorrow. I know where I'm going out for dinner. As far as IPA's go, I'm not sure I could pick a single favorite. I have really been diggin 90 Minute IPA lately, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 ^^I don't think I had ever actually seen someone drink Colt 45 before that night. Amazing. At least on the other nights we had tasty beers, including Blue Moon. But we could have been drinking the worst beer in the world, and it still would have been a good time because of the people drinking... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and at least they still served beer in the "damp" town of Pigeon Forge! At a BBQ today, I had to settle for Michelob Ultra, because I failed to read on the invite that it was BYOB. Blah.

Meteornotes Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ^Blech! Sorry you had to drink that. And that margarita I had at the Texas Roadhouse in "damp" Pigeon Forge was very odd. That drunk guy at the bar made it totally worth it, though. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 A couple days ago I´ve been in Anchorage. It was just a night stop and we din´t have a lot of time. But we went to a T.G.I. Fridays and had a couple beers. I had the Alaskan Amber and I have to say it was a nice one. The food was just okay, cause my steak was way too small... --Soren And some good food, but as I´ve said - the steak was too small. The Alaskan Amber. T.G.I. Fridays in Anchorage.

DerekRx Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ^At least the Friday's you went to had something local on tap, I don't think mine around here does, though if it did it would probably be Yuengling. Last week I returned to Texas with the TPR group. I knew of 1 place we'd be going and really wasn't expecting to do lots of beer stuff because it was a roller coaster group trip and all, but I was pleasantly surprised by all the bonus stuff we got to do thanks to a little iPhone app called Beer Hero. So hot that I even took shelter for several hours at SFFT and kicked back an $8 Shiner Bock and so concludes our adventure in Texas, a place that is really freaking hot in the summer! A look down into the TPR room at a few of the people We had one of the rooms just for us, Obama had the other A look at the bar area I tried some of the Live Oak Big Bark Amber Lager as well, pretty good stuff, easy to drink Dave and I started out with the Live Oak Liberation, another great beer for the style from the folks at Live Oak I was put in charge of the beer selection for the evening, so I went with some local stuff like Live Oak Liberation IPA, and Live Oak Big Bark Amber, along with some familiar stuff like Pilsner Urquell, Bass Ale, and Franziskaner Hefeweisse. Hopefully everyone of age found something they liked It's old, there's an outside beer garden area, but Elissa was smart enough to request indoors for us Our final day in Texas took us through Austin for our farewell dinner at Scholz Garten, the oldest business in Texas, built in 1866 and even recognized by the historic society Chris then braved some beer and got Pilsner Urquell while I was running out of options with most stuff I wanted to try kicked and went with Stone IPA Jewy also went with more Live Oak while everyone else was enjoying some sort of Woodchuck Monday was pretty much everything for $2.75, so more Live Oak Hefe for me. Stefanie got some Abita Purple Haze, and more ciders for the rest The next night we returned again with a few more friends. Nice to see Victory being represented! our final beers of the night before they closed at midnight was some more Live Oak, this time the Pilz which was very tasty and pretty hoppy Cool beer deco all over the place Gotta love getting served by waitresses dressed like that Not being into beer, Wes went with some pear cider which means Live Oak Hefe for Jew and I, simply fantastic and so sessionable Lots and lots of taps, and it happened to be local beer night, where all beers brewed in Texas were $2.75 per pint The next night we found ourselves in San Antonio where Beer Hero came to the rescue yet again and told us the closest beer bar was a Flying Saucer. Sold! Next Jewy and I enjoy a Piranha Pale Ale and Nitwit Witbier, respectively A few of us decided to head over for some food and drinks. I went with the Totonka Imperial Stout which was chocolately and roasty but still mild enough to enjoy in these hot times Later that night after some time at the Kemah Boardwalk we got to the hotel, which was conveniently across the street from a BJs. Thanks for booking that location, Elissa! This time I went with the Hefeweizen. Good clove and banana notes and very drinkable On Saturday we got done at SFOT again a little bit before our bus departed, so we went back for a quick lunch at the bar Even the pandas were coming in from the heat for a round Next up I went with a small Raspberry Blonde, just for something to help keep me cool. Nice raspberry flavor, easy to drink, and sessionable. A good amount of the people on the Texas trip decided to come with. Beer, good food, and Air Conditioning can sell anyone in a Texas summer I started out with the Big Red IPA, which had nice spice and pine notes to it. This 0.5L was the "medium", crazy Texas Humperdinks is home to Big Horn Brewing, with a pretty good selection on tap. I'm thinking this is what my little piece of the afterlife will look like On day 1 we managed to devour SFOT thanks to Robb's awesome skills at acquiring Gold Flashpasses for everyone, so we had time for dinner. Beer Hero located a brewpub 0.8 miles from SFOT called Humperdinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haux Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The last beer I had was Shiner Bock, and that was a couple of weeks ago. I need to buy more. I also had Skinny Dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have a friend visiting here this week and we stopped by a New Orleans themed bar tonight that I've been wanting to check out for a while. Had a few Abita Purple Hazes, which I've had before, but it's been a while. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wow lots of Abita love. The only Abita beer I've had that I would have again is Andygator. Then again, Louisiana in general blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstevet07 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Sorry no pics, but last week we were in Geneva IL visting a friend. I had a Bell's Oberon Ale at Country House. I thought it was an excellent summer beer, midly fruity ( not like Leiney's Sunset Wheat which I think tastes like Fruity Pebbles,) and had some good spices with it. I just wish Beertopia carried Bell's here which they don't. Also had dinner the next night at Nick's Pizza and Pub in Elgin. I had the Nick's Golden Ale which was basically a standard pub ale. Refreshing but nothing too exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba83 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Mmmmm Beertopia =] Can't wait for them to get more Saison-Brett in so I can order a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^ Full Sail is still in business. I want to find Captain Sig's, but they never seem to have it around here. Try emailing Rogue for distributors in your area. http://www.rogue.com/about/contact-rogue.php I've tried that with Full Sail, but they never mailed back. Hope that helps.

Bubba83 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well they have tons of Rogue around here, just not Captain Sig's, so I'm not sure doing that would help. I bet I could try it if I went into SF and went to Rogue's beer bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Jacket Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I found a new craft beer store in Atlanta this week (they opened in April but I didn't find out about it 'til now) called Hop City. They had a great selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff. I'm happy. I'll be working my way through some of this stash this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
