Good ol unibrow. That's a great beer but I'm not sure it hits the spot for me any more. My tastes have changed. But unlike beers that I truly dislike, I can still tell it's a good beer. Anyone ever experience that?Quote:

Did a vertical of some of Firestone's Anniversary Ales. All 12% or bigger :eek:
Had 2013 thru 2016 and a 2023. If you're into the barrel-aged stuff, it was a really good night.

Yeah, it's still my go-to style but for the most part I rarely seem to have one that stands out anymore.Quote:

Localy the more normal craft brew tells me the lager is their big seller, the more eclectic craft brew where the wierder people hang tells me the IPA is their big seller, they both have a couple of mainstays IPA & Lager but change it up with other different recipes
a lot of beers out there depending on your taste, a local cheramn implant said to me they don't know how to brew beer here so I countered a ridiculous statement with another ridiculous statement that he should probably go back to where he came from ... he didnt say anything
recentley I been liking a great italian pilsner, a strongish IPA and a red ale
Ha, guess I'm an idiot because I didn't realize those fall under the lager category. I do like them though. But staying firm on not liking black IPAs.Quote:

Stopped at Wander brewing in Bellingham and then at a bottleshop in Portland to see what's up. Had the winter spice lager, the imperial stout and a sour after the guy poured that for me by mistake. All were good. Brought the export stout for later consumption.
Found this one at home in a cupboard, must have been there since 2022. Not a fan, combined ingredients plus over the top sour was not a good combo.

I picked up a 22 ouncer of Alaskan Smoked Porter yesterday at Costco. I always enjoy that one.

Heh. Paulaner. Not too bad
I've been off IPA's for awhile now - they seem to give me a hangover when I have any more than one.
I'm a big fan of the Paulaner Pils.
I prefer the Erdinger brand over Paulaner, however the former does not appear to make a pils.
Hmmm... our local seems to have Erdinger Oktoberfest. Might try it next time I'm in the area...Quote:

That's been my favorite lately. I think our store has it even cheaper.Quote:

Was happy to find this again at Costco

I thought it was just ok.
For $10/bottle I'll take a SS Tadcaster.
^^ yeah, not amazing but still pretty decent. It has gotten hard to find good stouts and porters. Or anything that is not an IPA, honestly.
My local Bevmo has been getting some high end stuff in lately but it's in the $12 for a 16oz can or $25-28 for a 4-pack range.
I usually just get a pack of Speedway stout which is still pricy but a bit more reasonable. Today they had a German chocolate cake version that was a few bucks more. Guess this is my Xmas present for myself : ). It's pretty good.

Looks like we drink the same beer. Tall-boy of Old Rasputin seems excessive.Quote:
