We need a general thread. Favorite beer? Most desired beer you might not have yet had a chance to try? Worst beer you've ever had? Wutcha drinkin right now?! Discuss at will!

I've been on an IPA bender for some time now. On the menu tonight :

1. Stone Ruination IPA


100+ IBU's, 7.7% alcohol, 14$ for a sixer of 12oz. bottles.

Delectably bitter, every sip makes my nipples stand on end. Hop bitterness is charmingly balanced by sprucey, citrusy, and alcoholic undertones, followed with a very toasty, caramel malt flavor, and finishing back at a high hop flavour. Chew is absolutely perfect, carbonation and consistency are spot on. Smells like a stroll through a garden of the finest hops on a sunny spring day.

Highly recommended!

See if you can find southern tier brewing's unearthly ipa. Like 12% and very good!

Love IPAs myself, the hoppier the better. Always got a soft spot for my Porters and stouts, though

Any Lager. Light Beer for beer pong. I hate Ale.

Ever had Roxxy Roles by Magic Hat?


Favorite beer: Shock Top and Kona Longboard are tied


There is a local brewery down here called Red Oak that only does kegs, I still haven't tried it.


I also am building a bottle collection:



68 different varieties so far, and its only been about two months.

Also planning to cover my car in beer bottle caps.

hahaha. cool idea!


i found out a month ago my favorite IPA isn't being made anymore. was "hoptical illusion" by blue mountain. i'm very sad.


on the plus side, flying dog moved the rest of their equipment out of denver and here to frederick. i like supporting local guys, so i think this is my new beer. they do brewery tours every saturday. it's free, and they give you 5 bottle caps which you can redeem for free beers at the bar after the tour.

and i found out that if you ask questions during the tour, the guide will give you a bottle cap for each question. guess who knows a lot about brewing but will have a thousand questions when he takes the tour???

Hmm I've had southern tier brewing's unearthly ipa, but none of the other suggestions so far. I will certainly try to find them.

Don, I'm still finding Hoptical Illusion all over the place. I'll horde some of it for you, if you'd like. =P

yes, please. i heard they went out of business (that's what my local suds distributor said, anyway). that shit is goddamn delicious.

Ithaca Beer's Flower Power. They use fresh hops, so it's strong but fruity.

Pun beer! Woohoooooo!

fuck yes. that's the best.


i wish i could remember the name of the beer i picked up in middleofnowhere, NJ. it was pretty awesome and i'd never heard of it before.

Remember anything about it at all?

Triumph?

River Horse? (They make Hop Hazard, which is pretty damn good)

Perhaps Kroghs?

nugget nectar cuz it's seasonal and really expensive. and fucking fantastic

if they don't have an IPA i like i get sierra nevada, since you can find it at most bars.

What is your go-to cheap beer?
coors light lately. they sell 18 packs of 16oz cans for $1 more than the 18 pack of 12oz cans.

What is your classy, "look-at-what-i'm-drinking" beer?
huh? i'm not such a snob that this makes any sense to me

Let's swap the nugget nectar to the last answer and get something that you're a little embarrassed to admit that you drink...

ok, captain morgan's mojitos.

I don't think it's a gay drink... Mojito...


Edit: Corley, I'm only teasing because even Morgan Mojitos are classier than my backwoods Budweiser in the can.

word. yeah, the coors light is prolly moar embarrassing. i can only drink the 16oz cans tho, cuz the 12oz cans are too skinny to fit into my koozy right. and i always rock the koozy. i've got a can and a bottle koozy at my and all my friends' houses where i normally drink.

Guilty Pleasure: Corona and Lime

Go-To Beer: Shocktop or Amber Bock

Go-To Cheap Beer: Yuengling

Classy beer: Peroni or Newcastle

Guilty Pleasure: Any lager

Go-To Beer: Any lager

Go-To Cheap Beer: Coors light

Classy beer: Stella Artois ... I like the glasses it's served in, enough that a couple have made it home with me

Guilty pleasure:
Dubuisson Scaldis Prestige:
$40 a 750ml bottle is expensive, but damn it's tasty (and 12% alcohol.)

Go-to beer:
I rarely order beer at a restaurant, but when I do, it's usually an IPA. Russian River Brewery's Pliny the Elder is my usual IPA on the west coast, but Lagunitas IPA will do.

Go-to cheap beer:
Pabst Blue Ribbon. For the money, it doesn't get any better. $3.99 a sixer/$6.99 a 12. Schlitz will suffice in a pinch if it's ice cold.

Look-at-what-I'm-drinking beer:
9 liter bottle of St. Feuillen Tripel at the two places that have it. 3 liters of Chimay Blue elsewhere, or anything that only comes in a 750ml bottle.

I Looooooooooooooooooove Beer.
