What beers are you enjoying? - Page 320 - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

Went to a Cigar City Brewing tasting of wood aged beers last night. Most were one-offs and not commercially available.

The list included; cedar, maple, raw oak, toasted oak, and hickory.

The beers that got these treatments were their IPA, RIS (Zhukov), Saison, Maduro Brown, and an as yet unreleased Belgian style that was super spicy aged with the cedar (it was INTENSE).

Overall a very interesting night and some great beers. My favorites were the Zhukov and the raw oak IPA (soooo much better IMO than with the cedar).

The Hop Scotch release at Tequesta Brewing is tonight right? Randall mentioned it last night. He also said Cigar City is taking over at Funky Buddha on Thursday.

Who would have thought, too many craft beer events in South Florida!!:-)

Been looking for it since you mentioned it... finally got a batch back on the shelves.

Had it a few times when I was at the Farm House (think that was its name). I Grabbed a few packs and brought them to Providence RI. I tried to drink as much of it as I could when I was there. :-)

Flying Dog Dogtoberfest
NB Hoptober Golden Ale..............really liked this one, too bad not available locally.

Tequesta Hopscotch. Not sure what to make of this beer. Bottle was underfilled and undercarbonated. Really hoppy for a scotch ale. Reminds me of a black ipa. And I'm not getting much of the oak. overall underwhelmed.
