i may have to try some in october haha, Cause i just tried a Paulaner, not sure if it was slightly skunked... or not but it didnt impress, Another thing i have noticed is Hefe Weizen's.. When there on, there ON! but when you get a 6 pack from 06' lol etc sitting in broad day light, Skunked beyond belief... Ouch, Much as well get a Michelob haha:-)

That sounds awesome. :-)

I plan on grabbing a few more 4packs before they are gone for ever. This is whats printed on the bottle.
"Our Imperial Saison captured a bold celebratory shout of apricot and peach in a bottle. Both bright and bold this is a lively truly living beer. Bottle conditioned with rare Belgian yeast and soured to illuminate its copper hued body. Ginger and Grains of Paradise promiscuously dance with Styrian Golding hops. Wipe winter from your brow and enjoy now or attempt to resist its siren song and lay down in your cellar."

Great beer Seth!

Boddingtons is fantastic. Just pouring watching the head form as your pour the beer is exiting. More importantly the creamy texture and flavor of the beer make it a fantastic summer beer.

I can brew that. :-):-) I may give it a shot though, been a long time since I've brewed a saison. Too long.

Really into the Fat Tire Mothership Wit, right now. I like the hint of cloves it brings to my palate. I also like to a nice Bell's Oberon from time to time as well

Had a Southern Tier Pumking last night. Still not sure how I feel about that one.

I think it's pretty damn unbelievable....but then again I like Southern Tier. I'm really liking their Creme Brulee and Mokha stout right now!

I was at one of my favorite local "beer bars" last weekend and had a Kolsch style beer. I'd never had it before. Never even heard of it before, actually.

It was brewed by a local brewery (Summit) and it was definitely different. VERY dry - nearly like a dry champagne. I liked the flavor but had a hard time getting past the dryness.

The bartender did a good job of explaining the history of it, though.

I have been on a redhook long hammer ipa kick for a little while

Been loving Smutteynose IPA the last few weekends.

will definitely be picking up more SA Octoberfest. I really enjoy this years offering.

New Summit beer? Whats the name of it?
A man has to have a favorite, right?


I have had a few Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzens in the past couple of days, very good as well.

It's the first beer from their "unchained" series. It's just simply, Kolsch.

edit: I'm too slow...

Just did a little research and apparently the new Summit kolsch I had is part of a one-off series of beers. Each brewer In the company gets to brew their chosen style and kolsch was one. It's called the "Unchained Series."

questioning opening my last Paulaner Hefe- Weizen Min keg.. or finished off my Hobgoblin Dark English Ale... Boddingtons... or Beamish...

AH! must make room for October/fall beers...

Any recommendations?

You could taste beers but not cigars... :-)

:-)

Birthday beers that will be flowing today are Franziskaner Heffe Weissens, Samuel Smith both Nut Brown Ale and Oatmeal Stout, a large bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale. MMMM Belch! :-)

I had a 24 of Fat Tire Amber Ale last night!!!

I love the stuff!!!:-)

Tried some Firestone Walker IPA and DBA and it was good.
