Great Beer....the sequel

Looks good. Hope to try next trip.
Taco night with a mug of Darwin Brewing Pirata Pils.
Picked up Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Across the World 12-pack late this afternoon. This little gem, East Meets West IPA, was included in the dozen. 7% ABV. Wonderful. Very well-balanced. I'll work on this lovely assortment over the next two weeks.
Sampled back in late-May. Solid. Great warm-weather beer. T'was a memorable bomber.
The beer is even better when it's on the house.
I'll have to try 3 keys Brewing on Manatee Ave also.

Took a year to implode. Took everyone off guard. Arnold's had about 5 or 6 of their beers in a tap takeover all week. When it's gone, it's gone.
A buddy gave me a pickle sour from Urban Artifact when tailgating. Couldn't finish it. Not what I expect from beer. I'll keep trying the new brews but I don't how much longer the millennial is gonna buy this stuff.

Damn, that's sad to hear. Not familiar with it, but still a bummer. Albany and the Upstate region seem to be in a bit of a boom for the alcohol business. Tons of apples in New York, so the cider business is getting crazy. New bourbons and whiskeys are coming on strong, and all the breweries are starting to take some big leaps.
Both Druthers and Shmaltz have had HUGE block parties this year where they just raked in the dough.
A fun time to be a drinker.

You in the area, man? Dude, let's grab a beer. I swear i won't kidnap or kill you.
Yeah grabbing a beer with Willy be like:
Back up north since Thursday, one day I may have to see Oktoberfest or Gasparilla Pirate festival in Tampa..
Woooo Hooooo!
SEC Kickoff Tailgate Party on 8/26 here in Austin.
Kentucky Ale is supplying UK alums a keg of the new Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale. I've attended this kickoff party every year since 2009. Served beer the past two years at the UK alumni tent. Heh, got so plastered last year that I crashed my bicycle in the rain and later fell 20 feet down a hill. Riding the bus this year.

Had West 6th Filly nelson Pale Ale today - nice hoppy snap
Plus for $2 a pint at Lucky's market I'd come out staggering if I didn't have to drive.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm adding it to my list. I like just about anything from Ommegang. Probably my favorite brewer.
Beer Camp Across the World Atlantic-style Vintage Ale. Collaboration with Fullers (UK). Absolutely ranks among the best strong ale's I've drank to date. Lovely subtle plum notes. Wish I could get my hands on a sixer. Fantastic.
Madtree Brewing - Cincinnati OH
Tried the Happy Amber , nice medium of malt and hops, great sipping beer for Autumn. [thumb2]

I'm headed to Louisville for my own brewery tour. I'm starting at against the grain brewery. After that im just going to the highest recomended places. Is there any other must see breweries that I need to try? I am unfamiliar with the area and I don't always trust internet reviews. Thanks
I'm going on an Oktoberfest and pumpkin beer binge. I LOVE the stuff. Honestly I think it should be available year round. I plan on trying a few new ones this year for sure
Yup I feel the same way around this time of year too.
Shiner 777 IPL. Best Shiner beer yet. 7% ABV. Great hops. Very well-balanced. Possibly unavailable to some of you guys and gals outside Texas. Solid. Bombers are highly recommended.
Anyone do the KY Proud Beer week?
Some Paw Paw beers sound odd.

it tastes like pure dill pickle juice. i just had a crowler of that. i went to urban artifact yesterday. Wacky place
You need to get some Big Top Brewing to add to the clown collection.
The coconut and coffee porter sounds..interesting.

MF'er you down here and not grabbing a beer with me?
I go to that brewery and had that beer
Yep, not bad. Liked it a lot
Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. 7.6% ABV. This beer will put lead in your doggone pencil, by hell. Best Guinness yet outside the Dublin brewery.
So my work team are foodies and beer .... snobs I think
BUT they've taken me on tours of 7 or 8 breweries in MN since we started traveling together
Some of the stuff they like is ****
Too complex and often tastes of licorice or perhaps an old comb
Then sometimes -- it just knocks my tallywhacker into the mire and I can only weep and ask for more cornbread.....etc
Nah , I just remember seeing it around when I was in the area.
I much rather be sitting on Coquina Beach right now than in this cold and wet.
Never knew my birthday was so special and since a guy at work had a retirement party, I obliged that day.
Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout. Seems crazy sampling this beer in the fall when it's famous for being a springtime release. Lots of caramel and cocoa. Barrel aging not so evident. Helluva kick. $9.75 on draft at Flying Saucer - Austin tonight. Touch of sweetness. I'm wondering if bottle conditioning is better. I rated 4.75 / 5 stars. Not perfect, but still great.
