funny.....I like what I like. I had these three last night.....my rating would be DFH, followed by lagunitas followed by the laughing dog. (I also threw in a couple of PBRs :roll: )
In my house right now is a case and a growler of 90 minute IPA, 2 growlers of 60 minute IPA (above), and 6 bottles of 120 IPA. Life is good .
get to try any other awesome stuff from DFH?
One of these days I'll get my hands on some 120... and then I'll only have to age it for 2 years... :fp:
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

I'm a big fan of Dogfish Head and Lagunitas. I've never had the Laughing Dog. I don't see anything wrong with throwing back a few PBRs in the right situation. I've been known to toss back a few Coors Lights whenever I'm at a bar watching a game or on the golf course.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

good to know an occasional PBR won't get me banned from the craft beer thread
I also have some bud light in the fridge :shock:

A twacker of Coors Light or Rolling Rock on the course is almost mandatory, no?
The Bud Light in the home fridge though... :nono: (that could be grounds of expulsion from this thread)

Depends on how it got there...
I have a few miller lite and corona in the cupboard... they were left behind by friends I had over... whenever I have people coming in who I know won't drink anything other than a commerically advertised beer, I'll pop 'em in the fridge so there's something colder there for them...
now if you bought said bud light yourself, for yourself, that is certainly grounds for expulsion... :nono:

Sierra Nevada Tumbler is out again. Life and my liver are good again.
haven't had a tumbler before... description looks good...
Can't wait for the temperature to drop here a little bit and it actually be cool enough to drink all the autumn seasonsals...
I find big malt backbones aren't so agreeable in 95+ heat.... but they're all coming out now regardless....
It's great. I discovered it 2 years ago on a road trip to Penn State, I'll save the shower jokes. We went to a bar that had it on tap and we actual kicked the keg after drinking it for 5 hours. We had a tough time getting back to the winnebago.
As much as I love Sierra, it's not the best hanging out in high temp beer. I'm still holding on to a 12 of the 2011 Celebration Ale.
Alright, alright, alright!

So... I had my bottle of Cucumber Saison tonight..
I honestly have to say that it was probably the worst tasting beer I've had in a very long time... the cucumber aroma and taste was just too pungent for me... I don't know how I finished the bottle... it was a mistake... I should have stopped after the first glass...
I went to have a Sierra Nevada Summerfest after I finished it just to wash the taste out of my mouth, and it won't go away! ugh.... I wish I had of had a ruiniation or a heavy stout in the fridge that was cold instead - something that would have totally cleansed the palate... even now I can still taste cucumber... So I think I'm done with beer for the night.. on to bed.
On the plus side of things, I hit up my usual bottle shop today for the first time in 3 weeks (out of town traveling and what not the last little while) and this week they had just gotten a huge DFH shipment! piles of 90, 60, and palo santo sitting around... and I talked to the beer guy and he passed me the last bottle of Theobrama in the shop, a bottle of the Postive Contact, and a 4-pack of Tweason'ale! Quite the haul, along with a 4 pack of the new DIPA from southern star I wound up spending $45, when I went in thinking I was going to leave empty handed... don't tell the girlfriend
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
Had a Tweason'ale last night from DFH - pretty good considering it's gluten free! The strawberry scent wasn't overwhelming, and the beer was well carbonated, with a gorgeous reddish-orange color... The rest of the 4-pack will be heartily enjoyed.
Gonna get to crack the first of my homebrew this week... can't want to give it a try... hopefully the pale ale turned out drinkable.... brewed the second batch this weekend - bought a "caribou slobber" kit from Northern brewer... it's a brown ale... Anybody have much experience brewing with Wyeast liquid yeasts? It's been about 36 hous and their hasn't been any activity yet... wondering if I need to pitch another yeast... I have some dry yeast left over from a previous brew, and even though it's not part the northern brewer receipe, I figure it's better than letting the wort go to waste...

I thought the Cucumber Saison was good for about 1 glass. I struggled to finish the bottle as well. While I actually enjoyed the cucumber flavor, it was too much for me to want another glass. I won't be buying it again if they decide to bring it back.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

From my experience I feel like Celebration Ale is much better consumed when fresh. That is one beer I do not want to "age".
I agree. Most typical IPAs shouldn't be aged because the hops tend to fade after a few months. While they'll never really go "bad", they can take on a much sweeter, maltier flavor than the brewer intended. It's amazing how quickly some hoppy beers will begin to fade. I had a Pliny the Elder that was 3 weeks old and it was fantastic. I waited 2 more weeks to drink the other bottle and the flavor had faded significantly.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

My celebration has not turned.
Had a Thomas Creek, Up the Creek this weekend. Wow, I guess I should look at the ABV before tasting it, 12.5%. It was pretty good.
I also grabbed a case of Tumbler and the Beer camp this weekend.
