Just picked up DFH Squall and Chicory Stout, Sam Adams Winter, and Celebration Ale.
Squall is great. Really want to get my hands on another bottle.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Haven't tried DFH Squall but after tasting it on tap last week, I gotta get my hands on a 4pack of DFH Palo Santo Marron at some point. Powerful stuff.
I also have 2 bottles of DFH Olde School Barleywine saved for Christmastime.

I'm a big fan of almost everything Dogfish Head puts out. We finally have a bar, World of Beer, in town that serves craft beer and they're hosting a Dogfish Head night in a couple weeks. According to the GM, they're going to have around 10 different Dogfish beers on tap and he's been told by his rep that one of them will be DFH 120.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Immorts out now, i grabbed 2 bottles last week,good stuff.
I know this is the one time of the year I have a chance to get it and Olde School. Those are the only 2 DFH I can think of that I have never tried (not including Brewery exclusives).
I'm planning on picking up some Olde School as well. Never had Immort, in fact I don't think I've ever seen it.

Plan to pick both of these up this week too. I haven't had either. Really liking the reviews I read of Immort.
I cant recommend the DFH Olde School Barleywine enough. However, good luck trying to find it at this point. They have it on tap at a place here in Boston still I believe, but I havent seen it on shelves since early November. I grabbed the last 4 pack back then and saved two. Its intense.

Forget about Faithfull Ale, now there is going to Hanson beer. MMMMhop!
Hanson burrowed into our heads with their hit 1997 song "MMMBop." Now they want space in our gullets with their soon-to-be-released beer MMMHop IPA.
This is not a hoax. The band -- composed of brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac -- said so themselves this week.
“We of course make records -- they are fundamental to what we do,” said Zac Hanson during a speech at Oxford University Union, according to the Toronto Star. “But we wanted to create a brand so that our fans have a greater experience ... in fact, we are soon going to be selling our own beer.”
“I’m not even joking,” he added.
The members of the boy band wouldn’t be the first celebrities to transition from stumping for beverages to helping develop the drinks.
In June, the band Train -- of “Drops of Jupiter” fame -- introduced its “Save Me San Francisco Wine Club” and offered samples of a petite Syrah named after its hit song. Not long after, N.E.R.D. musician Pharrell Williams helped liquor company Diageo launch “Qream” -- a cream liqueur directed at women.
In the fall, British band Elbow began selling its “Build a rocket, boys!” golden ale, named after their most recent album, in pubs, universities and some retailers.
Rocker Marilyn Manson has a signature brand of absinthe called Mansinthe. Van Halen singer Sammy Hagar helped found the Cabo Wabo Tequila brand. Former White Sox baseball player Frank Thomas revealed his Big Hurt Beer this year.
Hanson’s Indian Pale Ale supposedly is arriving in stores next year. But although the band already has a board game (Hansonopoly) under its belt, don’t expect it to venture too far into the retail space.
“We will never make dolls, lunch boxes or toothbrushes that play our songs, for example,” Zac Hanson said.

Think I am going to start stocking up for the holidays this weekend. Have a bunch of guests and I am hosting Christmas this year.
Right now I have two Faithfulls, a Hellhound, a Bitches Brew, a Cigar City Russian Imperial and 3 120 minute IPAs.
Going to pick up a case of Brooklyn Winter (considering SN Celebration, but it's not they ladys favorite so I should probably get something she likes), I believe, then grab a few 750's and a random 6 pack or two.
Yeah Cliffy definitely time to stock up for the holidays. I gotta have this Brooklyn Winter. All the Brooklyn beers remind me of MSG2 and that night getting lost in Manhattan till 4am.
I can't get enough of this Troegs Mad Elf Ale. Had 2 more last night.
Quick question for ya: I grabbed a bottle of Delirium Noel last weekend only to realize its from last year. Will that affect the taste? Good or bad? Any thoughts?

I had Brooklyn Winger last year and enjoyed it. But now that you mention, the lady loves Mad Elf, so that is an option too depending on how much a case of it is. Been in your spot many a time wandering around Manhattan in the early early morning.
Ahh, good question. I can't say specifically how it will affect the taste, all beer ages a little differently from my very limited experience, but it is high alcohol content so it should age just fine. Would be cool to get one from this year and try both out to see the difference.
My guess is a case of Mad Elf will run in the 50 dollar range (at least up here it would). I paid $15 for a 6er the other day. Certainly not a session beer. I could probably only put down about 3-4 of those at a time.
Interesting proposition on the Noel. May have to try that. I was just a little concerned inspecting the bottle after purchase to see 2010 on it. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I can't be sure how it has been stored the last 12 months, so who knows.
Has Brooklyn ever considered doing a Dodgers, Giants, Muts or Yankees-related beer? Like an old timey ale for New York old timey baseball teams? They have a great brand down there with the baseball theme and this would seem like a great growth opportunity for special brews.

Yeah, I was t hinking in the $50 range, maybe a few bucks less. Will take a look around and do a little shopping before I buy a case, I think.
Yeah, good point on the storage. Worth a try, I would imagine places that handle beer like that wouldn't sell it if they didn't store it properly, but who knows.
Good question on that. They should, am sure they would have to fight with Inbev and everyone else that has a stake in MLB though. I can't think of it off the top of my head, but one of the beers has a very Dogerish packaging.
Got a case of Brooklyn Winter. Eh, good, $35 a case, which you can't really beat. Haven't made it to the craft beer store yet to pick up a couple six packs.
Picked up a bottle of Odell Woodcut No. 3 last night.
Forgot how expensive it is until I was checking out...but man, that's some tasty beer. Great fall/winter beer.
2 Dogfish Immort
2 Dogfish Olde School

Also stocked up on a lot of wine, Jameson, Jack and Woodford for the holidays. Going to be a drunk month.
The wife bought me a home brew kit for my birthday...I've been talking about buying one for ages now but just never got around to it. VERY excited to start brewin my own! Any home brewers have any tips for a rookie? Or perhaps, there is an entire thread about this *searches for home brewing thread*

I think I started a thread that got some decent responses a long time ago. I never got around to it though. Would really love to try it out though.

Had the Anchor Porter a couple weeks ago and it was even better me thought
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
