FlyerACE1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 This one was from last week... WOW! Thumbs up! Loved this one. Nice complex hop flavor with an orange/citrusy finish. Good stuff. Thanks Heath! Another one supplied by Heath. Davidson Brothers IPA. Had no idea what to expect with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekRx Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Today I start out by drinking another Thunderhead. At some point I'll need to go back to the distributor for more beer, but I'm hoping to hold out until the Fall stuff comes out. Awesome IPA, I can't wait until the CalIPAs in a few weeks New photo spot for the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Next up, time to try something I forgot I bought earlier this summer, the Weyerbacher Blanche, their hefe. Eh, its ok. Not my favorite hefe by a long shot Yup, smells like Hot Dog Water, just like Victory's Sunrise Its all like, German and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugged One Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The Lake Placid Frostbite. Got this when we were in upstate New York back in June. The guy at the brewery kept calling it an IPA but it's an amber. A really hopppy and delicious amber. A quick bit of trivia, while we were at the brewery the guy there told us that they had recently sold the name "Frostbite" to Anheuser-Busch for $150K. I wouldn't be surprised if their winter craft beer, the Winter's Bourban Cask Ale, had a new name come November. The Lake Place Frostbite Ale or whatever the new name is going to be. No matter what it's called, it a darn fine hoppy amber ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Today starts off with one of Vermont's finest, Magic Hat #9, a pale ale with a little apricot tinge. OK, now I can start my evening routine Really nice on a summer day, but I'm eyeing that empty bottle of Vertical Epic and wondering when I can drink another one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugged One Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The Big A IPA for Smuttynose Brewing in Portsmouth, NH. This Double IPA may not be as complex as some of the others out there but it is all about the Hops. And the warmer it got, the more the hops came out. My mouth is still puckered as I write this. Good stuff! The Smuttynose Big A Double IPA. Feels like a solid hop jab to the face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Another swap with my baseball buddy. This time I got a Lake Front Fuel Cafe. It's a coffee flavored stout.....my first thought was, a real "Buzz Beer." I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Yuck....I think the over carbonation did this one in. Nice dark color.....once again a Lake Front with no head...wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I was looking at craft breweries I can visit while I'm in Japan and I came across this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Time for some Dogfish Head tonight! Really strong alcohol flavor, not very citrusy. Highly alcoholic (10%!) and really tasty. Burton Baton, the oak-aged Imperial IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugged One Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Tonights selection is the Blackberry Wheat from Long Tail Brewing in Vermont. Not too bad. Definitley has a "some-kind-of-berry" taste to it. The Longtail Brewing Blackberry Wheat. I'll stick with my Raspberry Wheat for fruity beers thank you.

mcjaco Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Ah, nice and humid here. the perfect time for a workout followed by a Berghoff Soltice Wit. Nice flavor and light and zesty. I'm being daring, but not as daring as Derek, as I sport a sleeveless t-shirt. Grrr. I'm gorgeous! Berghoff, America's second oldest brewery. Ahh the perfect summer brew.

DerekRx Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 ^Brave AND stylish! Since its finally cooling off here a bit, I'm really starting to enjoy summer. Let's have a Hefe!

DerekRx Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I figured I'd have another Three Floyd's to follow up tonight, as I want a taste to compare with the real deal this weekend. Of course, now I won't be able to bring any back with me, how lame. Finish all liquids now! (Sorry Wally, this also means I won't be able to bring you out any Victory or Great Lakes stuff!)

RBOrrell Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 May last beer was a Mill Street Brewery Tankhouse Ale. http://www.millstreetbrewery.com/ Very flavourful! This weekend is the annual Festival of Beer - http://www.beerfestival.ca/ - A must-attend for any beer lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 ^Cool! If you go, you'll have to post pictures (just make sure its in this forum). Apparently Buffalo had an IPA Festival last weekend, but none of us knew about it. Have fun if you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugged One Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well in anticipation of Derek and I hitting up another top brewery this weekend, I decided to try something that will probably be on tap anyway. The Three Floyds Gumballhead Wheat Beer. These guys brew some pretty wild stuff and this one is no different. Bascially, it's light and malty like a wheat beer but balanced out in the other direction with a buttload of hops. Absolutely awesome. I'm going to have to pick up some more bottles of this. I was going to bring some Three Floyds back home on the plane with me this weekend but I guess that's not going to happen now. Thanks terrorists! They even have directions to the brewery on the bottle. Who need mapquest, when we can just bring the bottle along? The Three Floyds Gumballhead Wheat Beer. A hoppy wheat beer? Only in Indiana.

Scaparri Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Ah, finally, my first beer review. I just turned 21 so I haven't had a chance to explore too much into the microbreweries nor am I terribly familiar with the terminology so please bear with me. Here's my first beer on the big day, a Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss. I was quite impressed. It has a very nice, sweet blackberry flavor to it, with a crisp wheat after taste. I'm definately a big fan.

Hitting up the less traveled parks like Wyandot, Fun Spot, Coney Island, Strickers, and hopefully Indiana Beach and Kings Island, as well as a stop at Three Floyds. Stay tuned! Its like they know I'm coming or something (too bad it was closed, but there's always hope for Sunday) And when I get to Ohio, whats right at my gate?! While waiting for the flight, I'll read some good stuff I loves me a HopDevil Followed by another HopDevil with dinner, nachos (no lettuce) Time for the usual, a HopDevil This place is like my new local hangout! at an airport none the less Which meant I had time to go back to Independence Brewing! Security wasn't as long and delayed today as everyone was saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ^ Does Independence have a frequent buyers card???? Looking forward to the Three Floyds report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks a lot Wally and Derek. And no Wally, that definately isn't the CP housing, thank god. I bid that place adieu.
