Just picked up the first ever bottling from Buffalo City Brewing at the liquor store this morning... very small release of Smoke on the Bayou (it's a really cool concept, all the malts in the beer are smoked at 3 famous Houston BBQ places)...
The brewery is like a 10 minute walk from my house and they make some epic stuff, check it out...
They've been selling kegs to all the local establishments for over a year and a half now, and this is their first ever bottling... can't wait to see how it ages.
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.
Stone Vertical Epic 12.12.12 = un-friggin-amazingly delish!
Yummy - Ale w/ Spices - very dark and rich - can't wait to have another!
PROST!
Will be interesting to see what this puppy tastes like a year/2 yrs/ etc from now. Low carbonation - but extremely rich and flavorful.
Delightful and I highly recommend...Am curious what they will be pairing it with Tues eve...
Just Finished A Goose Island Black Friday TaSting!
Bourbon County STout COFFEE
BCS VANILLA
BCS BraMBLE
BCS CHERRY
King Henry
Bcs RARE!!!!
Gonna put some pj radio on and enjoy & knock the fuck out! lol
Couple of my favorite local (DC) establishments recently got a few kegs of BCS, just the "standard" one I guess -- it didn't have any of the flavors you mention. Oh man, amazing. Totally up to the hype and worth the $1.20/oz pricetag.
how is that? i was tempted to pick that up yesterday but opted for brooklyn's black chocolate stout. i'm on number 3 right now.....SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tasty :thumbup:
I cant remember half of them... Waiting until Friday 21st before I open up the first one
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Alright, alright, alright!

I packed my bag last night to head up to Newfoundland for the holidays...
My girlfriend was laughing at me, as I was packing beers to take with me...
Unfortunately there's not a lot of craft available in my small town canada... so I cleaned out a lot of the fridge... 6 bottles are packed in the bag... none of which I've had before.... and I know I'm still going to come up short for the amount of drinking I'm going to do during the holidays... planning on taking with me:
Saint Arnolds 2012 Sailing Santa
Buffalo Bayou Smoke on the Bayou (going to send the local brewer a pic of my drinking it in Canada, as it will be the furthest his beer has gone to date)
1 of my 2 remaining bottles of the last batch of DFH Pangea
Karbach Fra-Gee-Lay
Jester King Buddha's Brew
The Bruery 5 golden rings
I hope they all make it in 1 piece :?
That would be a lot of $ lost if they break or my bag goes missing!
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.
So the beer made the first of my 2 travel legs intact! yeah! (had to pick up the beer to clear customs)... keeping my fingers crossed for the second half.
On a side note.... glad to see mill street opened a restaurant in YYZ! used to drink their stuff all the time when I lived in T.O, but forgot how good it was until I just had a couple of glasses!

Yeah, dude, stuff is awesome. It's funny people only really learn about it through those gift packs.
got a home brew kit yesterday. this should be interesting
Sweet. What kind of beer did you get to start with? We are about 6 batches in. It's a lot of fun.
i haven't opened it yet but the box has a picture of a mexican cerveza and a czech pilsner. it's from Mr. Beer. i'm told that's not the best, but it's good to start with? what do you you use?
and yeah, the corsendonk box probably draws a lot of people in at places like wegmans and stuff. my brother said it looks like it's made by Mattel.

I forgot to mention (maybe it was more of an assumption that you knew) that you will want to leave a little at the bottom of the bottle when you pour it in a glass. I didn't do this when I tried my first one of this batch and I would recommend not forgetting that.
Regardless, hope you enjoy it (at least a little).

Gotcha. We started with an American Pale Ale and move on from there. Have done an IPA, Pumpkin, Baltic Porter, Saison de Noel and something else I can't remember. Have done all kits so far with some slight enhancements (whiskey soaked wood chips to the porter, extra clove cinnamon and pumpkin to the pumpkin) Most of the kits we have done are Brewers Best that they sell at Barrys Home Brew in Northern Liberties. Good spot. Also you can get good deals on kits and all things brewing at Northern Brewer. We have done at least a couple from there. You can get real good deals.

Half Acre Daisy Cutter is my new favorite beer. I've been drinking that stuff like it's my job lately.
that's a tasty beer right there
I've been drinking it like crazy. I've noticed that more and more places have it on tap all over Chicago. I really want to check out their brewery tour....their brewery is right around Lincoln and Montrose. I heard it's a good tour to go on.
not sure I would like this one....but lagunitas makes some awesome beers
Yeah i have a six pack of their ipa in the fridge and i'm convinced their dogtown pale ale is either my fav pale or second fav behind 3 floyds zombie dust
As for this one i really enjoyed it. I don't mind the coffee flavors in beer and i thought in this one it was present but not overpowering. I'm a sucker for stouts
