The unofficial all things BEER thread!

Something Different. They Use Heather instead of Chops... very Very Interesting beer...

From Producer page:

Brewed in Scotland since 2000 B.C. heather ale is probably the oldest style of ale still produced in the world. From an ancient Gaelic recipe for "leann fraoich" (heather ale) it has been revived and reintroduced to the Scottish culture.

Into the boiling bree of malted barley, sweet gale and flowering heather are added, then after cooling slightly the hot ale is poured into a vat of fresh heather flowers where it infuses for an hour before being fermented.

A light amber ale with floral peaty aroma, full malt character, a spicy herbal flavour and dry wine like finish.

Recommended with : Rich and Spicy foods

Drink slightly chilled from a fluted glass. 5% abv

They have whole line of Historical Ales... See Weed ale Pine Spruce ale and such...

Don't have occasion to drink others but I really recommend this one :gj::gj::gj:

Edit: For Anybody interested in other historical beers from this brewery:

Check out Alaskan Oatmeal Stout by the Alaskan Brewing Company. Anything by them is amazing for that matter.

One to try IF you can find it...
Spaten Optimator
(makes Guiness look and taste like milk):gj:

And something called "Batch 9001"---VERY strong beer (had a buzzz after just one)

With how fast beer is consumed its not worth paying high prices.

I agree 100% ! ....I like Corona. ....and Schlitz " Blue Bull"......and Molson Canadian and I like Disarrono , even though it's not beer. I also like fine wines.

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA...close to 20%abv...doesn't take many of those... :D

Who makes Batch 9001?

Optimator is a phenomenal beer, and one of my personal favorites. It's a doppelbock, so not really directly comparable to Guinness (an Irish dry stout) except in that it's very dark. For that matter, Spaten's Munich Dark is quite good as well - a bit less sweet, though, and I think a bit lower alcohol content (Optimator is pretty strong).

Another good doppelbock you might enjoy if you like Optimator is Paulaner Salvator.

gonna be aging some Back Burner Barley Wine in whiskey barrels this season :D

what a job i have ;)

I have no idea, I just picked up 3 singles, by the time I was done, I was so buzzed that I just threw away the bottles without reading them, lol :rolleye2:
I'll google it and see...

Thanks! I'll try those!
There is another one I found last year that is brewed locally....Dirty Helen.
Pretty hoppy, but very tasty!

I love me some Dog Fish Head but no one close by carries them. I usually pick up some Sierra Nevada at my local Publix. I would say the green lable one is comparable to the Dog Fish Head 60 IPA.

Im a college student, so Keystone Light all day :D but when I want a nice beer I usually drink 312, Leinenkeugels, or Yuengling (Yuengling is my favorite by far but I have to order it from the east coast :()

Just tried your Old Man Winter Ale last night, and liked it quite well. Interesting aroma, hoppy without being overwhelming, and a nice flavor. It was the first Southern Tier brew I'd tried, and it certainly left me willing to explore more of your catalogue. :)

Mostly I drink Sam Adams cherry wheat. :o I love the cherry taste and smell.
Just saying. xD

Yuengling Traditional Lager, Sam Adams Summer Ale, and Red Stripe :)

Uhhhhh I think its time to re-stock.

Dead Guy from Rogue Brewery is by far my favorite, but I always keep Fat Tire in the fridge. I am also a fan of Spaten Optimator, Black Butte Porter, Guinness and pretty much any beer that you have to chew before swallowing. I am not a fan of frat water or anything in a green bottle though.

I'll add two of my favorite beers. I'm in a smallish town so seldom do we get the good stuff. When I do go out of town I always try to bring some back with me. This stuff is scary good people..

Ten Fidy - These babies only come in a can(like everything else from oskar blues) but it's all the same once you pour it.. Hands down my favorite imperial stout, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!!

Gulden Draak - I suck at describing tastes but even if I could I doubt words would be adequate for describing the greatness of this darker ale, delicious!!

My favorite is IBC Root Beer, but A&W is a close second. I wont even touch Mugg root beer, it tastes like garbage.....Hey the title does say ALL things "beer" thread.

IBC is the best root beer by far!!!!!! im into the hopsacutioner (sp?) IPA, dogfish 60 min. and the hops slam is great too.
but condenced beer is my favorite:cool:
spooky

Ice Axe IPA brewed in Govt. Camp, OR Best beer ever.

Anyone ever drink Kentucky bourbon barrel ale?

So I was surfing netflix and this came upp.
"How beer saved the world"

Just took a tour of Buffalo Trace this week; nice facilities! Bought a bottle of the Eagle Rare.

yeah, they are a great bunch of guys down there. i do love me some Blantons! we just did a tasting last night and the barrel aged barley wine is coming along really well. its already at 14% abv but its super smooth and delicious!

Thanks for the neg rep adamsky27! I forgot this thread was still alive!

I've been enjoying New Belgiums Ranger IPA lately...tasty! :D

anyone have any beer from Cape Cod Beer?

Mmmm cape cod amber ale :)

I have to say my favorite New England brewery is the Magic Hat Brewery. You can't beat good ole #9. And for a hot summer day wacko is in order!

XxX edge

Wow surprised I never saw this thread. For "good" beers my favorite is currently Flying Dog with my top 3 being Old Scratch, Raging Bi***, and #1 fav Double Dog. :carouse:

Guiness, rolling rock, flat tire and corona are all good imo! Im not sure if any of those are considered artisan beers and allowed in this thread though lol :/
My stepdad also loves Becks, its ok imo but not my favorite.

One I really liked that I had recently was the Voodoo stout

Oh man, I really miss beer...:(

Anything from Brewery Ommegang is incredible, especially the Triple Perfection and Three Philosophers ales.

Courtney, come to the cape. I'll show you what really good beer should taste like!
:D

Picked up a bomber of Epic Brewing Company's Hopulent IPA a few days ago...very good IPA. First time I've tried it. Also picked up a bomber of Weyerbacher's Double Simcoe IPA...can't wait to pop the cork on that bad boy!!!! Love that stuff!

How's the new gig Luke? I'll have to keep an eye out for Cape Cod brews...

you'll have to come to the Cape to try it! Bring me another snake and I'll give you the VIP tour! ;)

I LOVE the new gig! great beer, great location, i have a great crew working for me. its really awesome!

So I will see you in a couple weeks!

Had a great unfiltered wheat a few days ago, but there was shots of vodka involved, so I don't really remember what brand it was. :oops:

Not a fan of Flying Dog, but this is funny...

Never been to much of a beer fan. Ill down one or two after a hot day of hard work but other then that me not likey. It has to be a certain beer too most of them out there taste like dog piss, I live in Canada I thought beer was supposed to be good here! Whiskey on the other hand. Thats my drink but it isnt the best thing to drink when youre hot so thats where beer comes in. But Whiskey is my thing. Flavored whiskeys too. The occasional wine of course but none of the red wine crap.
