- Start date
I'm knocking back a bunch of blacksmiths on this wonderful day. Guinness and anything is fantastic but I prefer it mixed with smithwicks. Newcastle is my 2nd choice
Anyth
Anything southernteiris amazing.
@CastleRubric : Pappy's open today 11-6. Currently beautiful weather here in the tri-state area on this Thanksgiving day.
You just made me smile a little
...and then I bellowed semi-intelligently at my lovely bride saying something to the effect that A FRIEND OF MINE ON THE INTERNET IS AT POPPYS!!!!
She gets it though
She gets it
God bless that patient and -- increasingly hot -- woman
BEER SOON
THEN MEAT !!!!! AND OFFERINGS OF STRENGTH AND THEN LATER DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS ON SPEED AND ANOTHER NIGHT WALK IN THE MESQUITE MAZE I FOUND!!
Flying Dog Double Dog Double IPA. 11.5% ABV. Rated it 4.25/5 stars. Really too boozy, and so much killed a 5-star rating. Piney, but also more bitter than normal.

Yes that's a tough one right thereFlying Dog Double Dog Double IPA. 11.5% ABV. Rated it 4.25/5 stars. Really too boozy, and so much killed a 5-star rating. Piney, but also more bitter than normal.
Bell's Expedition Stout. 10.5% ABV. Super solid.
I also hit up The Thirsty Heifer in Whitesburg this afternoon. Great tap selection. Nice atmosphere. Kick-*** burgers. Awesome staff. Had a good time.
Tomorrow: Lexington breweries. Be there. Aloha.

Hopefully you guys can find it at Kroger for $7.99 a 6-pack like I did today. A freakin' steal for a nice winter ale.
That’s actually a normal price for SN Celebration - can usually get a 12 for 12.99-14.99 depends on the spot.
There was no deal with the 12-pack yesterday at Kroger, $15.99 in Newport. All the local brews are $9.99 minimum for a 6-pack up here.
nice color. Good solid beerBlue Stallion War Admiral. 8.2% ABV. A superior Weizenbock. Good job.
White Squirrel Brewing in Bowling Green, KY. Enjoyed two beers there a week ago tonight. Kolsch was good, and closely resembled the German beers from Cologne.
I've been trying to sample some White Squirrel beers for nearly 2 years. Finally made it. Place is more of a brewpub than a dedicated production brewery. Somewhat underwhelming. They only offered 4 beers of their own on tap. Okay for a one-time visit.

Just popped my first one in years. Just the right amount of spice like Celebration Ale. [thumb2]Shiner Holiday Cheer. New label. As good as always.
Just tried
Natty Greene's -Greensboro, NC
Red Nose Winter Ale
Not bad, rather malty that is dark red.
Spices of ginger and cinnamon that works on a cold day.
I just lucked into a bottle of one today. 2017 bottle of course.
Anybody had one of these? Is it worth the hype?
One of the best beers anywhere anytime is out right now.
Personally speaking, me too. However, on occasion, such as last month, I'll go ahead and try something unusual they brew.
Was looking for that for a cousin in NC.I just lucked into a bottle of one today. 2017 bottle of course.

Didn't know it was Goose Island. I would think you could find it in his state.
Also there seems to be a shortage on Buffalo Trace.
What is your favorite style? From what I can tell you seem to like lighter stuff.
I was a diehard wheat nerd for over 30 years. Then I saw the light. Current faves are IPAs and stouts.
Prague is the best city on earth to drink beer, hands down.
Didn't think Cincy would been on there. And none from Florida (Tampa) or Cali.
Cincy was #4 last year also. Pittsburgh was up there also with less than 10 breweries. Not that it matters. All I know is you will find one you like just about anywhere you go these days. It's basically a renaissance in this town since I'm old enough to remember Wiedemann, Little Kings and Hudepohl.
Who is going to Cincy Beer fest next month? For those that are going the beer list has been posted. This is the Mecca craft beer event locally imo.
The beerfest called Hunnapu in Tampa may be one of the best beer festivals in the world. Cheapest ticket in is $200 and you sample the rarest beers from all the famous breweries around the world. Plus you get a stash of Hunnapu, which is only released 1 time a year and it's at that beer feztival.
I'm sure Cincy's is great. Cincinnati Brewery has the Chickory beer which is prolly in my top 3 of all time
Chickow from Listerman? It's fantastic if that's the one
Need to try it next time if available. I was there last month and tried Nutcase Porter. It was solid! They have burgers and hotdogs on site also. Awesome place to go before a Xavier game. Cops stop traffic on Dana Ave so you can cross the street then a golf cart takes you to the arena for free. Drunk Catholics rock!
Lots I'd like to try. I'd black out by the time I got through "D"s.
There's several cider makes too. I hope the real brewing companies bully them the whole time.
[laughing]
Had no idea. I nearly attended Xavier way back when. Must make my way up there one of these days.
