Bought some Guiness Foreign Extra and tried one tonight. I thought it was good but this beer gets a lot of rave reviews. To me it tasted like Guiness but stronger flavors. Anyone else try this one yet?
I really like it and think it's a fine example of an export stout. It's much better than regular Guinness in my opinion. I enjoy its roasted flavor and the nice hoppy bitterness. I also like that it's not a nitrogen-infused beer.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I agree. I liked it. The roasted flavor is quite strong. Regular Guinness seems like a watered down version of this.
Has anyone tried DFH 61 yet? I enjoyed it alot. It was deff a different tasting beer.
Had a bottle last week and thought it was mediocre. Had it on draft today and really enjoyed it. I may pick up another single bottle and give it another shot.

I've tried it on draft...it pairs well with cocoa dusted almonds. Otherwise kind of off-putting for me.

Is there anything worse than "Summer" beers?
Seems like all the breweries large and small are putting out their summer brews. They are always so disappointing...

I cant stand the ones with lemon, or pine or whatever stupid flavor summer is supposed to be. I do like lighter, crip pilsners in the summer though, like a Miller or Bud Lite but good and doesnt taste like the bottle cap.

I mostly agree, but the Leinenkugel Summer Shandy can be pretty refreshing.

+1 I like the Summer Shandy. It goes down smooth and easy when its extremely hot outside.
I'm a lucky guy....BOTH the brother and sister-in-laws have kegerators

I'd kind of argue your points...
normally I'm a big beer geek, been heavy into every IPA imaginable lately and have gone bonkers the last few months chasing down bourbon barrel aged beers.... however... now that it's summer here in Houston, and it's regularly 85 in the shade and 95+ in the sun, I find I can't enjoy these types of beers outside.
I appreciate the light, summer beers - like the pilsners, lagers, and wheats - this time of year purely for drinking outdoors on a deck... just the way it is...
I understand that they're a little light and less flavored.... but my palate just can't handle the intensity of a double IPA out in the sun...
maybe I'm weird...
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.

Really? I tried Shandy once and thought it was awful.

Not a fan either. Isnt is lemon flavored? I remember trying it when it first came out a couple years ago.
My favorites are New Glarus Totally Naked and Spotted Cow. Capital Brewery Capital Amber and they just came out with Lake House which I tried and liked as well.

Good Christ mca and I agree again. I used to be a fan of the Shandy before I really started getting into craft beers. Now it tastes like someone dumped a pile of that lemon powder mix into it. Not for me!

All this talk about nice weather beer. It is shitty out and cold tonight so I cracked open a KBS. Two left.
i hate you...
they shipped all of 18 cases to the entire state of texas.... one of the stores in houston put it out this week (the 3 cases they had) with a 1 bottle limit, and anther store put out 12 bottles for sale, with a one bottle limit... wasn't even worth the bother to leave work and make the drive.... $6 and $7per bottle, respectively...
I'm trying to barter with someone to trade a couple of bottles for a karbach BBA hellfighter (small brewery in texas, only turnin out small batches of the stuff, but it is fucking awesome and it's already turning into a shitshow every time they release more)....
just finishing up a Karbach El Hopadillo Negro.... i have determined that I just don't get Black IPAs.... something about the combination of so many flavors doesn't mesh right on my palate.... this will probably be the last Black IPA for quite some time....
