What Was the Last Beer You Drank?

[gisco]

Blue Moon White IPA

[Nrthwnd]

Last night, at our fave Chinese Restaurant, I had one of these.

It was light-tasting, not too heavy or bitter. And I had the smaller

bottle of the two, pictured.

Williamsburg Alewerks Tavern Ale

 

 

This is an old-fashioned American brown ale, that tastes a bit on the syrupy sweet side. It's like a milder version of Alerwerks' Old Stitch Brown Ale.

Founders All Day IPA. Quite nice for a 4,7% ABV IPA.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Yeah, that's honestly one of my favourites. Had some tonight.

[cfc]

^^Founders brews good stuff.

 

As for me, I had a bottle of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.

 

 

Excellent, and with a kick--9%!

Ulriken Double IPA from 7 Fjell Brewery. 8,5% ABV, 100 IBU. A very nice beer! (as most of the beers from this brewery)

 

Fun fact: "7 Fjell" means "7 Mountains", and is named after the 7 mountains surrounding the city of Bergen. Ulriken is the highest of these mountains, with a height of 643 meters above sea level.

And following up "Fløien", their regular IPA. This one is coming in at 6,9% ABV and 75 IBU.

 

Fun fact #2: Fløien is another of the seven mountains surrounding the city. This one is 399 meters tall and is by far the most visited mountain due to the funicular running from the city center to the top of the mountain.

 

Fløibanen, the funicular running up the mountain.

So for my birthday my daughter got me this Advent Calendar. The question now is do I wait for December?

[Nrthwnd]

^ Yes. You do wait. Happy B-Day, btw, Bob!

Ben & Jerrys Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ale from Blue Belgium. Hey, I really Blue Belgium Beer and Ben & Jerry's. So putting the two together is a winning combination. It's really good.

 

[Nrthwnd]

^ That just reads....a strange combination. A GOOD strange combination.

I wonder if we'll ever get this here in Canada, if not already?

[cfc]

Bell's Winter White Ale

 

 

As wheat beers go, it's quite good.

[viking86]

Nøgne Ø #100. Not the first time I tried it, but this is an absolute wonderful beer! Not something you drink at a party, but when you want to sit down and really enjoy and spend some time on a good beer, this one is definitely one for those occasions!

Arrogant Bastard Ale (Stone Brewing)

 

 

 

[DILinator]

Nothing earth-shattering, and nothing I haven't had before, many times, but still a nice craft treat!

Dirty Bastard!

[viking86]

Stone IPA from Stone Brewing. It was good, very drinkable. I liked it.

[viking86]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale imported. Always liked this beer.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

^ & ^^ Both very good, and pretty cheap around here. IPA is one of my favourite styles, and Stone makes a good one.

 

This was served yesterday at our most recent office happy hour:

 

Yeah, I love my job.

[Nrthwnd]

^ "Office Happy Hour"....? I really am innocent on such things.

Are these 'normal' nowadays in business, etc.? Colour me Curious.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

No, it's not normal. As far as know, my office is the only one in the area that does it. About once a month or so, we have a mixer for about an hour for people to get to know each other. Everyone gets one drink of their choice: craft beer, wine, cider, or soda. The company pays for it, and all hourly employees are in the clock. It's a good time, and it really helps to fight the isolation that often accompanies cubicle farms.

Sierra Nevada Celebration

 

 

This is my favorite holiday brew--very tasty, without being too heavy.

[cfc]

Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale

 

 

Not as good as Celebration, but a very smooth, pleasant beer--perfect for sipping on a cold winter's night in front of a roaring fire.

[cfc]

Hardywood (Richmond, Va.) Gingerbread Stout

 

 

Holy crap, this is good stout! Like Christmas in a bottle.

[viking86]

Celebrating the start of my Christmas holiday with a Two Captains Double IPA (8,5% ABV, 100 IBU) from Nøgne Ø Brewery. This is just a wonderful, wonderful beer, probably one of my favorites at the moment.
