xy9ine Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've had a number of their brews and have been pleased...not a fan of fruit beers but their Stout is amazing just had a black chocolate stout last night - yummy stuff. tis the season for the burly ales. brasserie dieu du ciel's (from quebec) peche mortel (a coffee imperial stout) is another favorite. as is deschutes abyss, stone imperial stout, avery czar, great divide oak aged yeti... winter is a good season for beer. i'm jealous of you american's superior selection of esoteric micros - lot's of amazing stuff that isn't distributed up here. i smuggle a haul every time i'm south of the border.

Guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 If anyone ages beer, I have 6 bottles left of two year old Dogfish 120 Minute IPA that rocks, hard core. I also have some 2002 Thomas Hardy's, 9 bottles left I think. Anyone tried the Stone 12th anniversary? It's a tasty Chocolate Oatmeal stoudt. They use unprocessed cocoa, so it should age very, very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxguitarist Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I need to get around to buying up beer and aging it.. my only aged beer has been a gift from a friend's dad- dogfish 90 min ~ 5 years old. It was much smoother and overall better than the fresh stuff though for all I know, it may have been brewed by a different recipe then. Tony (gecko) has been holding onto some thomas hardy's for a LONG time if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Whit and I have been planning a weekend getaway to NYC before the holidays, my buddy moved to the East Village a few months ago, maybe we can coordinate something.

Give this one a shot if you can find it.... Kinda pricey though, around $20 a four pack in the US. http://www.gooseisland.com/beers/pop-ups/14_bourbon.html It is VERY flavorful!

eajracing Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 The Mill St. tankhouse Ale is deadly (on tap at mitzi's for bfast) brooklyn ale (on tap at the Caddy lounge for evenings) Amsterdam Natural Blonde (all over the city) creemore lager - cant drink in copious amounts, but deadly for an after hockey beer... but inevitably i end up buying a case of Labatt 50....

Hotbeans Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Wife and I usually have a case of Guiness and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on hand. I like most all the stouter stout's, oatmeal stouts. I do brew up a batch now and then. My problem, among others, is that I start drinking it two days after it's bottled. Actually, I guess I start drinking it during the mash stage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
