What Was the Last Beer You Drank?

So is shaving your head part of your plan to lose 50lbs? Anything you gotta do to stay drinking beer with us, I say try it!

 

Tonight I continue making some room for Pumpkin Ales and Oktoberfests by finishing the last of the Old Dominion stuff from Spring.

Almost up there with Prima Pils in terms of good hoppy taste for a pilsner

It's a great time of year as it's still coaster season, football season is starting up and it's time to drink Oktoberfest beers. I need to get ready for Munich after all. I'm giving Spaten Oktoberfest a try. It's very good, probably better than Hofbrau but not quite as good as Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Good old Sam is always a safe bet. As far as Spaten goes my favorite would still be the Optimator.

I'm starting to worry about Derek and Heath. This might be the longest they've gone since posting on this thread! What happened guys?

 

Any way, I myself am back from the dead and figured I'd start with this one from a business trip to St.Louis- dedicated to our very own mcjaco! Before that, at Bahama Breeze for dinner, I tried an usual A-B offering called Aruba Red. The waitress ecstatically plugged it because it was "very good, just like Killian's!". Wowweee!! I'm sold. Wasn't great but was good for an A-B product. But here's what really kicked ass...

Simply incredible! Now I know what the fuss is about. Easily a Top 10 brew. Great flavors such as hazelnut, caramel and mocha in this one. Damn, what a complex brew!

My co-worker and I stopped at a Max & Erma's for lunch before flying home. Much to my surprise, they had New Belgium Flat Tire on tap!!

This next one was the last of the four I recently got from Heath. So far, 3 of 3. How would this measure up?

See, all smiles and my fiance, just because she hasn't been on here for a while.

HOLY HOPS!!! This sucker is BITTER!! Sweet! Easily the hoppiest amber I ever had. And yes, I loved it. This is my hop face, not a bad thing.

Lake Placid Frostbite Ale. Didn't really know what to expect other than it's an amber and I like ambers.

Not beer, but awesome margaritas from a place in San Diego due to close this week, unfortunately. I am partial to blue margaritas! The second one I ordered had a plastic mermaid swimming in it, and I thought, ya know, I'd sure like to be swimming in a giant margarita right now!!

"Kick Ass" Margaritas, so good!

Don't get to hyped up about it Adam... it's only Red Wolf

 

Did you try their Key Lime pie? It's the best!!! It's so rich, you feel like you have to brush your teeth right after eating.

I've been fighting a stomach bug all week, so tonights was the first beer I had since Sunday. Don't worry, there will be plenty of pics of Derek and I drinking beer to go around after this weekend.

 

By the way, I still want to see the pics from last Saturday's blowout!

 

So in preparation of our San Diego invasion, I decided to bust out the latest from Stone. The 10 Anniversary IPA. Make that double IPA. And it's a good one. Great example of the West Coast style. The aroma on this sucker rocks. Citrus and pine and hops, all rolled into the one. The taste is where it's at though. Huge hop bite up front but then melds nicely into a sweet malt kick at the end. Unbelievable! At 10%, I tasted a little more alcohol than I normally care for but that slowly dissipated as it warmed up. I gotta say, this may be the best yet from Stone. And that's saying a lot!

The Stone 10th Anniversary IPA. These guys know how to celebrate with style!

"Like Napolean Dynamite, but funny". Yeah, that pretty much sums it up! I should have downed some Stella's while watching.

 

Whoever posted the margarita pics, you rock. I love a good margarita. The best I've had here in Baltimore is at Cafe Hun, a funky little place downtown. Nice and strong...

Meteornotes...me too! I always splurge for the high end tequila if it is avialable. These are definitely the best I've ever had.

 

You can imagine margaritas in Utah...a sad, watery mess...

 

Those of you heading off to San Diego...I just spent a week and a half there, sadly missed the Stone Brewing Company but made it to The Field (Irish pub downtown) and the Coronado Brewing Company. If you liked Pizza Port, you might want to give Coronado Brewing a try.

These are from a last week....it's been a busy week. A little Sam Adams Hefewizen and a bottle of Anchor Steam. Dear God, why can't I hold the camera steady on personal pics?????

Last couple of beers (that didn't involve San Diego). They both happened to be from Avery.

The 13th Anniversary Weizenbock. Again, really good. Tasted very sweet and malty. Lots of caramel notes. A little heavy on the alcohol as it warmed up but not too bad.

The Maharaja Imperial IPA. This was a good one but just wasn't quite up there with some of the Double IPAs that I really enjoy.
