OT: Beer Thread II

[Captain Mittens*]

BJs makes a fine root beer. I think it is called Doc's. It is much better than the crap beer that they make.

Friday night the eagle flies.

Point number 1: I need to drink modern times. Never tried there stuff. I think next weekend I'll pick up their coffee stout.

Point number 2: Bottle logic is damn good at beer. If your on the Kings board, and in the beer thread you can probably get there... So you should if you are not a stupid person.

I picked up this variety pack at costco. The Social IPA in the can is the best. I don't care for wheat beers typically and this one is no different. It isn't bad but just not my thing. For $18 (I think), the 20 pack is a great deal. I'll just be offering those wheat beers to guests!

I was out in Atlanta last week and I'm a big fan of their Sweetwater 420 and IPA. I also guzzled a few Yuengling lagers while I was there. It was a bender for sure and I always like to sample the local flavor. If anyone has ever been to Nashville, their local micro brew is called Yazoo and they have some good beers. Dos Perros is a tasty Brown Ale (brown ales are some of my favorites).

I love wheat beer, lol.

That social IPA is so ****ing cloudy. Was OK, but like pizza port swammi IPA, tons of sediment suspended throughout the beer. I am a big fan of canning, but I feel like at least a few do it to hide.

Also, Angle City = Sam Adams... Can we stop with all these companies owned by the same people.

Decent session IPA though.

Oh man, it's the worst!

Wheat ain't bad...for breakfast...if you got work to do...and it's 110... in the shade.

When I think wheat, I think heff, and I don't want.

But like, Bottle Logic's She Shot First is awesome.

 

[scryan]

How have I not been drinking Modern Times?
Just got their blazing word, lol @ amber its like all base malt, a little munic and midnight wheat just for color basically... That minus the wheat is basically the malt bill of the last IPA I made... Good stuff though.
Really like all the info they give, Hops & grains used, SRM, IBU & final gravity right on the back of the can, and if you go to their website, they give the recipe for a 5 gal batch... Very cool.

Looking forward to trying their blackhouse oatmeal coffee stout this weekend.

BJ's made a decent IPA with Stone that I tried on Saturday:

Temple of Stone IPA

If I want something with spices, it's definitely going to be a torta.

so 99.96% of the credit goes to Stone

LOL, no if it was a great IPA then 99.96% would go to Stone. I said it's decent so BJ's obviously had too much involvement.

I haven't been able to find it, but I want to very much! They've made a few for Trade Joe's.


One of my favorites...

moar black ipa.

I read in the May issue of Beer that Stone is discontinuing Levitation. What a bummer. That was one of my favorite beers. Gonna need to stock up.

Currently enjoying a Wasatch Ghostrider White IPA.

 

[scryan]

IS levitation still available? I thought they discontinued that back when they did it to Self Righteous, and before they updated Pale Ale and Ruination? I haven't seen one in stores for a long time?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Probably not.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

Was this good BTW?

I think the best Belgian Wit/White I have had so far was Avery's?
