Night before last, I finally opened a twenty-two of Lagunitas Gonzo that I bought in late '05. Absolutely delicious, a bit sweeter than anticipated, with a very approachable roasty quality. Glad there's another bottle in the ol' beer cellar.

I'm glad to see someone mention 120 Minute IPA. I was in the beer/wine store the other day and someone started a conversation about how much they liked hoppy beers. I mentioned he should try to find the 120 IPA (which this store did not have) the guy about told me I didn't know wht I was talking about because he had just been tot eh brewery and blah blah blah no 120 that he knew of blah blah blah. Some people just hate to have someone know something they don't already know. I ended the conversation by literally saying, "whatever" and walking away.

120 minute IPA is very sweet and high in alcohol, I am assuming you are refering to Dogfish Head brewing company.... I prefer their 90 minute IPA as it is much more true in character. Probobally the best IPA on the market, although for the price, I'd rather drink a Rock Art, or McNeills IPA. Both much more affordable and with... perhaps... more character.

I had Rodenbach Grand Cru for the first time about a month ago. It is a huge beer but did the vinegar tartness bother you a bit? I found it very intense (as I drank it without food). I piece of wild boar and blue cheese might have made the perfect accompaniment for it. Again, just gigantic beer but not in a hoppy bristling DIPA way or an overly rich Imperial stout way. Unique!

I prefer the blended Rodenbach(one of my all time favorites) to the Grand Cru.
This was my first also and I agree it is quite tart(as I also drank it without food), but your idea of boar and blue cheese sounds wonderful

For me, the tartness is what I love most about it. I'm on my 3rd case of this since being introduced to it last summer by my ex-girlfriend's neighbour (I'll forever be grateful!). There is nothing more refreshing than sitting outside on a warm summer night with a bottle of RCG and some fine, rich cheeses!

Bell's has expanded distribution in the Midwest but oddly not Illinois yet, but New Glarus only markets in Wisconsin. I find the New Glarus brews interesting but I don't know if I am ready to say great. The mystique of being hard to get works for them. The one brew on tap in a lot of bars, Fat Squirrel, is OK but not top tier.

Bell's were in Illinois, but they pulled out of Illinois. http://www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/bells/
Oh and there are two 'types' of beers made by new glarus. They have their everyday tap offerings like Fat Squirrel et al. and they have their special bottlings like the Raspberry Tart and the Belgian Wisconsin Red. Those two are a great counterpoint to anyone who trots out that canard about fruit in beer.

That's a big loss for Illinois with Bell's pulling out. Right now they are my favorite brew and I am working my way through the lineup. I generally don't drink fruit flavored brews. Only a cherry flavored one might tempt me.

Wasn't super thrilled with their Batch 8000. Two Hearted is one of the best IPAs in the US.

Ah, that one's too obvious to get me riled up. (But, it could be true, I guess- somebody's drinking that 90% of beer in the US that falls into that kind of catagory. What I can never understand is what they're doing reading a beer board in the first place. Are there similar people who post about Boone's Farm on the Wine board or store brand vodka in Spirits?)
I got a bit more riled up by the dismissive tone in the last post in the "Notes from Spain" thread - not enough to respond to it, tho' -g- but I figured *somebody* would. I'm hoping all the regulars are enjoying all the good beer this season brings to bother with such things. (A case of Hop Wollop and Celebration in my perfect temperature garage right now...)

"Captain Lawrence - which is sold in growlers"
Hmm... haven't seen these in NJ.Are you talking about brewery-bottled growlers sold at retailers, or simply draught sold by the growler, filled by the retailer?
I've only seen the CL beers in 750's, mostly their "Seasonal" releases.
(And the only local brewer who sells "brewery bottled" growlers to retailers being Climax from what I've found).

"They sell growlers in NYC filled by the retailers at New Beer, Whole Foods and Bierkraft as well as the brewery itself."
Yeah, I know that (OTOH, those retailers fill a lot of growlers, with many different brewers' beers- I'm sure, somewhere, one can buy a growler of Miller Lite, but I wouldn't say that Miller Lite is "sold in growlers".)
I thought "bosun" was implying the beer is "marketed and sold" in "brewery-filled" growlers (rather than simply filled from a tap at the request of a customer, either at the retailers' or a brewery), as are Climax's beers. I don't want to be looking for a beer in a package that doesn't exist...<g>

OK , <g> I suppose when what folks post is counter to my experience, I ask questions (at $3 a gallon for gas, I don't want to be driving all over the state for a beer that's not available. Hey, if I'm gonna blow big bucks on a liquid, I'd rather it be craft beer than gasoline).
I notice that I find a lot of the beers that the CL website lists as "Seasonal" (and are quite pricey) but don't see the "Year Round" beers and when "bosun" said "growlers" I thought "D*mn, no wonder! I'm looking in the wrong place, maybe they're on the bottom shelf of the cooler rather than the "warm" shelf over by the Belgians...".

Sorry for all the confusion. I am from Westchester and live in Brooklyn. I go straight to the CL Brewery to get my beer, so my experience has been that they sell their beer in growlers (except for certain seasonal or specials). I didn't really stop to think that they might not be selling it in a 64oz. container elsewhere, I just drink the beer. It's damn good beer too.

Hey, happy thanksgiving to all. My weekend was just made with a Goose Island package just delivered to my door with some Moose Drool as well out of Montana.
Half day before Thanksgiving- home now enjoying the hell out of a Double Bastard- doesnt get much better.

The hub got me stuck on Maredsous 8. It by far my favorite beer and its hard to get me stuck on another. I'm still fairly new to Beer though so I'm having fun trying others. Our pubs are out of St. Bernardus which we also like... last night we had a vintage Liefman's Goudenband and it was great too... its sweet upfront but has a super clean finish...may have to try more of that one.

Spent the weekend with SN Wheat and Celebration as well as Victory Hop Wallop and DFH 90 minute.
Celebration is so ridiculously good and I was just overblown by the oil of the Hop Wallop this time through on tap, a little bit upsetting. 90 minute, always delicious.

Ive always enjoyed the Hop Wallop, it was this one occasion I had from tap that just really left me overwhelmed a bit and just oiled down in my mouth- way too filmy. Maybe I just had my hop fill that day, not sure.
I find the 90 minute to be perfect in texture and aroma as well as taste really, but to be honest, that day, it may not have been what I was looking for. Ive never been let down by a 90 but not to say it wont happen.

Speaking of San Diego beers, right now I am drinking a bottle of Old Viscosity. Before it is done, I am going to crack open a bottle of Older Viscosity to taste the contrast. It's hard to imagine that the older version can be much better, so I am excited to taste the difference.

Older Viscosity is an astounding beer. I am suitably jealous.

We get Green Flash IPA in NJ- the stock that was around seemed to be getting old but today I just saw 5 cases or so at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, bottled the end of November.
I always find it annoying when I bring back some beer from a distant state and it shows up a few weeks later (but if that's what I gotta do to get another good beer distributed here, so be it).

I still drink alot of bud, and miller products, but have been going to some local(regional) breweries, and enjoying some of the products from Wisconson(New Glarus), and Three Floyds of Indiana.
I also drink Cuervo Tradicional & Cuervo Reserva de Familia as well as some top shelf 100% agave tequilas at home.
However when going out I drink whatever the bar has on the shelf, on tap, or in the cooler.

I recently got the chance to try some New Glarus beers. I liked many, but some weren't to my taste. The Belgian Red with cherries, for example, was absurdly sweet. I could handle maybe 4 oz. of it, but it comes in a 750mL. I did like the Uff-Da and the Spotted Cow though. Fat Squirrel was unremarkable, IMO. I have a bottle of Hearty Hop IPA at home that I'm waiting to break open.

Have you ever had the chance to try the Unplugged Bourbon Barrel Bock? One of the most inventive and enjoyable beers I've ever had, it's a dopplebock slightly soured with brett. New Glarus beers are amazingly varied, I've tried probably about a dozen and enjoyed each one, I will keep trying them every chance I get because they are really thinking outside the box. I'm sure there will be some misses in there, but that brewery is an adventure every time.

Bell's Cherry Stout is a great brew! It has been a while since I had it. I managed to home brew a cherry stout that was a close match to it. Right now I am drinking a Bell's Hopslam but am limiting myself to one a day. If I decide to have a second brew tonight I will switch over to Bell's Lager of the Lakes beer which is about half the alcoholic content of the Hopslam.

Okay, it's not what I'm drinking *right* now. This second I'm drinking a Sierra Nevada pale ale because it was on sale at the minimart (and a damn good beer). But earlier this evening, and if you can belive this, at a frickin' bowling alley in the frickin' suburbs, I discovered the Widmer '08 Brewmaster's Reserve, which this year, instead of being a variation on an IPA theme, is called a Crimson Wheat. It's like the best qualities of a red/amber combined with the best qualities of a wheat. A deep maroon color (in the pitcher, more of a reddish-caramel in a pint-glass), great hoppy scent, but mild to drink, and not as vegetably (to my palate, the combo of too much light-malt with a strong hop) as I find most red/amber ales. This is the sort of beer I could happily drink with the snobbiest of beer snobs (okay, that's me drinking with me...) and with a coors-light drinker who always wondered if beer could have some sort of flavor to it. Inoffensive yet still pretty damn good. It's probably got wider appeal than the '06 (which became the Broken Halo, one of my favorite hoppy IPAs at the grocery store) or the '07 (I don't know who drank this, but it was supposedly an IPA-style but with odd salty, sour, and funky notes that tasted to me like beer made with laundry water).
In a bottle, to take home with me, I'd probably rather have something floral-hoppy or chocolate-malty. But if I'm buying a pitcher for my bowling team, I'd pick this over Fat Tire any day. Yum.
YF, are you the same YF that posts at some marginally baseball-related web-board that is...well...unrelated (at best) to your primary baseball team? Where I've got a nickname that's short for 'twinkie fan' rather than...well, it's got another meaning I was unaware of? If so, hi!

2) DFH - Chateau Jiahu
3) Russian River - Salvation
4) Lost Abbey - Avant Garde
5) Smuttynose - Barleywine Style Ale
Loved them all. My favorites were the 2 DFH. Probably because I can't get them in CA, I savor them more.

stoked to hear you are on the wws bus.. I cant wait to try the ones that are aging, what a great beer. I actually wasnt a big fan of rasputin but based on what you say, I will give another try.
Double Simcoe is great, literally just bought 12 of them last night along with 12 of the merry monks. you should look into trading especially with what you have access to out there.
tonight will be double simcoe and Old Chub.

Bellhaven Scottish Ale - Have always enjoyed this on draft. Bought a six-pack last week. Grabbed one out of the frig and I couldn't taste much. I let it sit in the glass for about 15 minutes and then drank it. More of the flavors that I remember came out. I then left one on the dining room table overnight (room temperature around 63F) and drank the next late morning. It was fantastic. Unlike hops, which I think still can be rather apparent at cold temperatures, malt driven ales like Bellhaven need much less of a chill to be appreciated imho. I love this stuff

Currently drinking the Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter. A little sweet for my taste, but how can you complain about getting a 12 of this on super-cheap-ass sale at a minimart? For what I paid, it's the best. beer. ever. About a buck cheaper for the 12 than what I paid on sale last week for plain ol' Sierra Nevada. Thank you, Oregon Liquor Control Commission! (May the record reflect that the Black Butte Porter is a really good porter, just a little bit sweet.)

Wild Blue, a blueberry ale from Blue Dawg Brewing which is apparently made by Anheuser Busch. A friend picked it up last night on a whim, we had never heard of it before, and we thought it was pretty good. Had 8% alcohol and tasted a bit like a lambic.

I made the mistake of picking up a bottle of this dreck after seeing an "elbow patches on the sport coat" type buying it at my local shop. That's the last time I'll generalize about what a beerhound looks like!...Yes, kind of lambic, but fancies itself a lager. I couldn't help but think it was made from the runt, undersized, under ripe berries that fall through the cracks. It's not for everyone.

St. Amand, "French Country Ale" from Brassierie Castelain, Benifontaine FR. Laid it in my basement for a couple of years--it's a 'biere de garde'. In the meanwhile, I've found that I don't enjoy a touch of brett in ales, and had some doubts about it since 'country-style' ales often have it deliberately introduced. If there's any in this, can't taste it. Medium body and color, crisp and balanced. cheers

Tried a new local this weekend: Sebago Brewing (Maine) Frye's Leap IPA. The first one I popped had an odd taste...sort of sour-milky, maybe? The second one, with pizza, was better. Perhaps I got a bad bottle. I'll be "researching" the rest of the 12-pack this week.
I'd say this one's worth a try if you like hops. A word of caution: the 12-pack box is very pretty but extremely flimsy, like a cereal box. The bottom nearly gave out in the supermarket parking lot.

I think Surly Furious is just about the best beer I've ever had. A friend from Minneapolis brought me some, and I tried to make it last as long as I could, since I know we won't be getting any in the northeast anytime soon.
Now drinking: Yuengling Lager (nothing too fancy). Last night I had a Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA and a Stone IPA.

As much as I love Racer 5, I found it was a palate killer when I was out a few weekends ago. None of the beers I had the rest of that night could beat it.
So far tonight I've had Southern Tier Hoppe--a little too light on hops for my palate, but still excellent--and a River Horse Hop Hazard, which is a strange pale ale with a toasty, almost bread-like flavor.
