Beer B.S. and Review Thread

Best I can say is it was tasty... I'm not a big porter / stout guy... I'd certainly have more of it! One I really like is Hop Valley VIP ... vanilla infused porter brewed here in Eugene... there are some chocolate stouts I've tried at some local brewfests that have been really good... perhaps I should do some research!

 

Have you been to their tasting room in Redmond? Kind of a cool place... I got a flight to try their beers... I liked the hef... but I not many others lit my fire... I'd go back for more research...

 

I haven't, yet. My wife and I did like a brewery tour over the summer of some spots in Bend. Totally forgot about Wild Ride. Their Hefe is tasty and I like the Peanut butter stout even better.

 

Did you check out Boneyard? Their tasting room is kinda funky... but their beer is AMAZING, and their swag is really cool!

 

We did Crux, Bend Brewing, Worthy and Deschutes. Deschutes is just decent to me. I wish we would have gone somewhere else. Crux was by far my favorite.

 

Crux has some tasty brews! Cool setting too! We had a good lunch at Worthy... I like their IPA.... and they had good music playing... maybe I need to head over the hill... visit some friends and do more sampling... mmmmmm.... beer...

 

Yes ma’am

 

Yum!

 

I couldn’t quite bring my self to finish it... some the best beer to drink is the one you enjoy drinking, and It was good but not something easy to drink for me. I can easily see that as an acquired taste.

 

i love double chocolate beer during the winter....I'm sure i would like that. You're not much of a beer drinker anyways

 

Very true. I’ll see if I can a quite some and slip in in a box for you.

 

Sweet! thanks!

 

I did a search and found they sell a crap metric ton of gear. For people into their beer or skull-themed stuff, it's pretty cool! And $5 coozies....

 

Brewed in Windsor Colorado. Pretty dang good beer! The blueberry flavor in this thing is top notch; but doesn’t over power the flavor. Just enough to have you keep coming back for more. 4.8 ABV.

 

If you are looking for a cider that's not like the Rest....this one is good. Not as sweet (to me) as Apple Ciders and has a good taste.

Brewed here in Austin, TX.

 

Mikkeller Brewing “windy hill” NE-IPA out of San Diego. Pretty good color and aroma. Not the stickiness of an imperial or double that is common of the New England style but very good. 7% abv, 70 ibu’s. Classic ipa character. Less of the “this beer is bitter so let’s call it an IPA” but actually flavorful.

 

“Mosaic IPA” from lost nation brewing in VT. Single hop (Mosaic obviously) crisp refreshing ipa. 5.5 abv 65 ibu’s. Good beer for cooking bird on Thursday.

 

oooo stocked to try this tomorrow

 

Looks good. Let us know how it tastes.

 

Hardywood has some good ones too. That gingerbread one sounds delish.

 

First beer to go down from @TundraTex. Brewed in Conroe TX. 6.5% ABV. Light and refreshing. Not sure what a “festbier” is but goes down like a lager. Follow thru is sweet (very light); almost picked up honey notes. Nice pic by Mr. Tex

 

Baerlic brewing. Not really sour but it's a tasty IPA.

 

Someone posted some beer from WeldWorks that looked tasty. Looked for some at my local shop, no dice.

 

Round 2 from @TundraTex . Nice little Saison. Fruity nose with just the right hoppy follow. Brewed in FTW, TX. Probably hard to read the can, but beer is dedicated to the crew of the combat ship that bears the name of the beer. 4.5 ABV.

 

Went into the Adirondacks yesterday for some roadies. L-R: Single, Double, Pale, Red.

Favorite was the single IPA. Double tasted a bit too malty but not awful. Pale was good and crisp and the red ale was a palate cleanser.

 

Nice review notes! Makes me want to go drink one right now!
