ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Have you had any of the wines from the Western NY region? I am no wine aficionado by any means, but a lot of people seem to really like the wines around here as well as from the Finger Lakes region. Don't think I have. We don't get a lot of beer from that region around here either. We do have one specialty wine shop in town that carries a lot of things no one else has, so I may have to see if they have one.
Philrad71 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Woo-Hoo - Part 2 has been released! This is much milder than the first release 'All Is Well At The Station'. Great hop balance and not as strong as other unfiltered double IPA's that I have tasted. There is a story behind the six part series of releases...this one is called 'A Wrinkle In The Fabric" I like it!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Love the name and the can art. Very cool. It's the weekend and I'm enjoying a Mother's Backyard Lime Gose. The Backyard is a vacant lot next to the brewery that they bought and put up canopies and games like horseshoes and beanbags. They have a stage too, and live music on Saturdays with good weather throughout the summer. Limey and gosey, and certified backyard worthy.
Philrad71 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 ^ Andrew - I have to ask...have you tried a MILF yet? I am going to have to see if we can check this brewery out when we're down there. Let me know if you're around and maybe we can meet up for a pint!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I have not tried a MILF, or a beer by that name either. Mother's have a million varieties, and I've had most but not all of them. And yeah, totally PM me when it gets to be about your vacation time. My schedule is decently flexible, since I work in the tech/travel sector.
Philrad71 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 ^ Yeah, not sure if I could try a MILF either...LOL! I will certainly give you a shout when we get closer to vacation time!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Sounds great. Tonight I'm trying out more of my recent discovery Bur Oak Brewing Co., and it's the Big Tree Double IPA. It's less bitter than a lot of doubles while still being good and strong. I like it.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Boulevard's Irish Ale, and a proper red, not green. Happy St. Patrick's, everyone!
boldikus Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I haven't drank beer in over a month! And the 2 I had in February were the only beers I've had since December! I did have a little wine last night.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Congratulations! I know you're working on that as a health/weight loss thing, so keep it up!
boldikus Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Oh I have every intention of drinking this coming (opening) weekend! The sweet taste of freedom.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Excellent. Great Adventure opens this weekend then? The one in St. Louis opens this Saturday.
boldikus Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Excellent. Great Adventure opens this weekend then? The one in St. Louis opens this Saturday. My prediction is Great Adventure will not open on Saturday because we're about to get a half foot of snow tomorrow and park mgmt are a bunch of pussies. HOWEVER, BGW and Kings Dominion also open this weekend.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Oh wow, that's crazy. Half a foot? I wouldn't want to be outside in that at all. Wouldn't blame them if they did close the park. (Oh and in MO it's 74 and sunny on Saturday) Have fun in VA though!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Enjoying a STLIPA from Urban Chestnut out of St. Louis. I've had this before and enjoy it a lot, don't think I've posted about it before though.
viking86 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Bøyla Blonde Ale from Ægir Brewery in Norway. Decent beer, and Ægir still has my favorite can design.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Ballast Point IPA. A bit lighter than most IPAs, really like it. Ballast Point makes good stuff, just usually expensive around here. This went on sale, $9 for 6.
viking86 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 "Dankins" New England Style IPA (6,8% ABV) from Cervisiam Brewery (Oslo, Norway). A very nice refreshing and easily drinkable IPA, one of the better new beers I've had in a while.
viking86 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Spring has suddenly arrived on the Norwegian west coast, and this is the second day in a row where the weather/temperature has allowed for a beer on the terrace after work. Today I have enjoyed a Silver Lining White Belgian IPA from Norwegian brewery Nøgne Ø. This one was perfect for sitting in the sun!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Urban Chestnut's Zwickel in its natural habitat.
Nrthwnd Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 ^ And by that way..... THAT's what i'd call A PRETZEL!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Those are actually from Aldi, as is the Austrian beer mustard. They're based in Germany, so they have the best German food of any grocery chain. $5 for six frozen pretzels, bake in 5 minutes.
Nrthwnd Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 ^ Awesome. After all the very extreeeeemley thin and hugely uuuugly-sized ones I have seen in parks (IMhO), but never EVER wanted to eat, these ones looked great! Now, back to our regularly scheduled What-Beer-Did-You-Just-Drink? thread.....
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Celebrating my new promotion with a Ca$h Mony Imperial IPA from 4 Hands Brewery in St. Louis.
