Weekend beer?
- Thread starter thebushman82
- Start date
Lagunitas has a limited edition Ale
called NightTime Ale.
May try that. Everything I have had from them is outstanding. DOnt think this would be any different.

Lagunitas has another called Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale. I really liked it. I'm drinking Great Divide Lasso IPA and Red Hare Gangway IPA this weekend. Both are great.
Been home less than an hour, already had vodka/white grape juice, Yuengling and Old Smokey Apple Pie Tennessee Moonshine.
Expensive stuff but worth it every once in a while.

I've been on a try everything new I can find kick lately. It has me burned out on the palate kicking beers. Ready to mellow out with the warmer weather.
Had a few Dos Equis Ambers at OTB then came home with Sam Adams Summer. Thinking about trying a hefe Saturday.

As the weather warms up. Also, Nola's new Rebirth ale is pretty damn good.

Ahhh been lovin me some miller Fortune. Really didn't expect much from when I first bought it, but a six pack will get you feelin good and not too full like most heavy beers. I love it
Nice. I've got a batch of stout conditioning in the bottle right now (it's been about 2 weeks). Last night I drank a couple of my Belgian tripels, which I made with coriander and orange peel (with ca. 8.8% ABV)...they're pretty good.
Bostel's Triple Karmelite and Bell's Two Hearted in my kegerator. Got an empty tap and can't decide what other beer to put on it. Thinking about a Kolsch or Saisson.
the lineup tonight is as follows...
well here in the grand state of MS, jackson area...me and black rain are drinking
abita spring ipa
buds
west coast ipa by green flash
abita imperator black ipa
new belgium folly pack
i guess you can say we like the ipa's....they are our favorites. i am jealous of you out of state guys though....i love lagunitas, stone, caldera, founders, good people, avondale, anderson valley, dogfish head and the list can go on
one of these days we will all be able to bask in the great goodness together but until then we will continue to fight the good fight. i did get up with sweetwater and they said that they are still planning to come to ms but are on hold at the moment.

You'll get no negative comments from me as both beers are geared more for drinking during summer time.
If it's a good summer beer you want, try Shiner's Ruby Redbird. That stuff is about as good as it gets for nice summertime flavor while keeping the taste of beer (as opposed to a processed flavor of Lemonade or Lime juice). I have enjoyed several Shandy's though.
My girlfriend brought me back some beers from her trip to Houston. 90 min IPA by Dogfish Head, St. Arnold's Elissa IPA. Good stuff.
Our next review is going to be centered around summertime beers. Seeing as we don't drink many fruity beers, it should interesting.
Brad Pitt has a great taste in beer. Too bad Brees didn't fire one back at him though.

Oh yeah.... Ruby Redbird is outstanding. And I agree with you when it comes to Shandys as well as Cream Ales and Ciders... I think that Saisons and Farmhouse ales are also very good summertime beers. Porters and stouts on the other hand, I usually don't drink them during the summer.
There are some good summer brews out there that aren't necessarily fruity. One in particular is Bell's Oberon. If you could include that one in your next review I'd be interested to see what you think.
Went to Green Flash here in San Diego today
Went to Green Flash today and they really do some good stuff. West Coast IPA is one of my favorites that you can easily get in stores.
Glad to see Bell's Two Hearted mentioned as well. That's my go to beer on game day since it's so smooth and flavorful, but doesn't make your stomach feel like it's going to explode once your 6 pack is looking pretty lonely.
These are some of my favorite IPAs that are pretty nationally available:
Bell's Two Hearted Ale
Stone IPA
Green Flash West Coast IPA
Ballast Point Sculpin IPA
And if you can ever find them, Project Dank and Elevated IPA from La Cumbre are excellent, and Pliny the Elder from Russian River is about as good as it gets for an approachable Double IPA.

I was in England last summer for about a month - The cask ales are the 17'n truth; 17 Germany...the UK has them beat. I probably spent 800 quid on beer alone, lol.
Speaking of shandy's though: in England, if you ask for a shandy at most pubs, they fill half a pint with ale, and the other half with sprite/7up, lol. Not my cup'o'tea, as they say.
Here's a visual sample of my escapades

Dogfish Head 90 Minute is the winner. If you've had it and prefer anything else, I question your manhood.
I may be incorrect, but I believe Shandy's originated in the UK - with Henry VIII. They would mix an ale with lemon juice and sugar (lemonade) due to some condition Ole Henry had - and it turned out to be really good. If I'm wrong, don't tell me...the story is still a cool one to tell.
As for Cream Ales (which are the best post-yard work summertime beer in my opinion), O'Fallon's Kite Tail takes the cake. That stuff is absolutely delicious.

Hit the grand tasting at Avenue Pub on Saturday. The top five from that event:
Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Sout
Prairie Bomb
Evil Twin Biscotti Break
Pretty Things Barbapapa
North Coast Old Stock Ale aged in Brandy Barrels
Co-worker just got back from Pensacola, so I'll be on the Cigar City Jai Alai kick for the next week.

OK, I'm in North Carolina so my opinion counts 5x anyone else's
Mother Earth Brewing's Park Day, a Bohemian-Style Pilsner. Perfect for sipping on in the Western North Carolina mountains or anywhere else for that matter.

you guys are killing me with all these outta state brews we can not get here in MS....that being said...yes 90 min IPA is top notch...best of the best...anything dogfish head does it awesome
I am not a fan of bourbon aged anything...just my opinion
I am looking forward to this weekend of reviewing some summer seasonals but we can not get Bell's anything here in MS so to the guy who was talking about that....sorry...I would love to drink their whole catalog but blame them...not me.

Yesterday was great day! Dogs put the pounding on the gamecocks and New Belgium tweeted our video.....hate to brag but let me bask in the light for a minute...
I know you guys are tired of seeing me post it but just one more time....GO DOGS!!!

I'm a big IPA fan also.
To me the Abita Spring IPA is not a true IPA, but it's a great beer. Has that citrus taste too it..
I just got a 6 pack of Cigar City's Jai Alai IPA from a friend. Good Stuff.
The Sierra Nevada Fresh Hop Ale and Northern Hemisphere are at Hops and Habana's still and there both great beers.
I wish we would get some more of New Belgium's IPA's here in MS.
I also heard that we will be getting Stone and Laguanitas here in MS real soon.
Keep on Drinking Bushman...

We're doing regional, can't find in MS beers now?
Sweet. I just enjoyed a post yard-work Sprye (rye pale ale) from MadTree (I also enjoy their Gnarly Brown. It's similar to Turbodog). Also going with Rivertown Helles. Might luck up and actually find some Three Floyds at one of the places that's "supposed" to have it.
