Posted by don_corleyone do they spell it 'zema' in canada?

i don't know, i've only ever seen it on Mad TV! ask micro.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Come to think of it, what am I even doing on this board to begin with?

you prolly followed me here since you're obsessed with me.

Don't call it obsession when clearly it's love.

Guilty Pleasure: Lindermans Framboise Lambic
Go-To Beer: Any Stout or porter
Go-To Cheap Beer: The darker the better
Classy beer: Everything I drink is classy

Posted by Metaprogrammer 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.

Tell me you have been to The Trappist!

ATTN: ALL BEER LOVERS




nugget nectar is back!!!!



sweet nectar of the gods!

Ulive - that is really cool. I'm thinking of a beer cap coffee table. We'll see how it goes. I'll likely get a bunch of caps saved and then give up, but hopefully I'll do it.

To all:

J.W. Dundee Wheat Beer

"An American-style, unfiltered wheat beer. Pale straw in color with a light cloudiness from carefully selected wheat and yeast. Pleasant spicy malt aroma and a crisp hop finish."

ABV: 4.2%
IBU: 18

Info from their website. Nice, light, crisp, and cloudy beer. Smooth and surprisingly refreshing (doesn't leave you thirsty). Highly recommended.


and also, Sam Adams White Ale. Second lightest beer I've had after Hoegaarden. Good, but I don't know too much about it. I had it with a burger too, and didn't take much time to taste the beer. Went well with the burger, definitely.

Guilty Pleasure: Corona
Go-To Beer: Moosehead or Guiness
Go-To Cheap Beer: Maclay (buck a beer that doesn't taste like shit? Hells yeah!)
Classy beer: Innis & Gunn (oak aged beer ftw)

Posted by dirt Tell me you have been to The Trappist!

The Trappist is a nice place, but it's too narrow, and the service is hit or miss. On the other hand, I appreciate that they know what they're pouring and treat it right with proper stemware and whatnot.

Just discovered Cafe Biere on Adeline in Emeryville. Much more chill, and they have pretty good, reasonably priced food like daily pizza specials, mussels cooked two ways, etc. They cook with different beers too. On Wednesdays after 6 or so, they continually bring out bottles to open for everyone to try for free. Although they don't have anything I haven't tried yet, they've got 6 or 7 taps and a good selection of bottles from around the world. There's a real sense of friendliness between the staff and patrons that I appreciate. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Err, here's some random pics of beers I've been drinking. I'd write up more, but I'm drinking some shitty Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre right now, and it's killed my beer writeup for the night. Anyway... wait.. what did I come here for..

1. Week before last's beer tastings


2. COrley! I promised!

Posted by ActionSatisfaction Esq. I'm drinking some shitty Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre right now, and it's killed my beer writeup for the night.

Have you checked the vintage date on the Raison D'Etre? I find that the few places that still carry it have a 2000 or 2001 vintage, which has been undrinkable for several years nows. The first time I had it, it was less than a year old and spectacular and complex, but subsequent tries have been not just disappointing but downright gross.

yeah, i love dogfish, but i'm not a fan of the raison d'etra OR the d'extra. it's a lot like the indian brown but with a slight dash of GROSS.




ps: adam, you are the man. i hate that i can't just get it down here. thx buddy.

Discovered that Guinness is indeed better when poured from or drank straight from a bottle, despite their propaganda that says drink from bottle, pour from can.

guiness is meant to be drank off tap.

Of course but not all of us can afford to go to a bar for Guinness on a daily basis.
