The Official Beer Thread

Couple from yesterday.

This was decent but for the price I was a bit disappointed. I have another to cellar and I'm hoping some age will make it a bit more interesting.

This was very good. I'd pick Bomb! over this though.

I'm always amazed by how much of a mecca Oregon is for beer. In one day I had so many fantastic beers. Here's a sampling:

A growler of Falling Sky IPA:

Russian River's Temptation:

Boneyard's Suge Knight (even this 6oz pour may have been a bit much at 14%, but still fantastic):

Anchorage's Love Buzz:

And that's only about half. I also tried Crux's Imperial IPA, Oakshire's Espresso Stout, and Terminal Gravity's IPA (the last one was a bit disappointing). We even stopped at a brewpub on the trek in (Pfriem, which was nice; I would've preferred Logsdon, but that's closed to visitors right now).

Interesting. I drink a lot of their Sunday session but I don't find it very interesting so I have been hesitant to seek out their other beers (I do trivia at a bar where it is on special that night... And then we frequently win a round which nets us another round of free Sunday sessions)

Funny you say that as I was unimpressed by their offerings at the Oak Park Micro Brew Review. But I saw this bottle and was drawn to the wax (as if that was any indication that it would be good )
But as it was inexpensive I figured I would give it a try and was pleasantly surprised.

Strongly disagree with RB's review. This is pretty damn good.

Etre Gourmet looking to snatch-up all my Christmas money.

Has anyone ordered from them? Shipping to Canada is high enough that I wouldn't want to risk it getting jacked at the border.

 

[hc4thehc]

I've ordered from them numerous times, but I'm in Belgium so...

Contact them (in French or English), they'll certainly help ya out!..

 

[b1os]

I've received that mail like 7 times in the past three days...

Happy Thanksgiving!

How are those? They have 4 packs of those at the store for $19.00

I recently received my Dieu du Ciel order, Aphrodesiac is a good stout. The Hibiscus one is okay if you like that kind of stuff.

Thought it was quite good. Solid representation of west coast IPA. Sometimes I seem to be out of step with RB though.
