If you have an aversion to hops, sure. I just don't know why one would not like hops.

I'm not much for the hoppy beers.

Had the arrogant bastard tonight for the first time since my birthday back in March, soooooi much easier to drink now and much more enjoyable.

Never had this for, gonna try it out tonight.

Great rye beer. Loved it.

Lagunitas Sucks is fantastic, very similar to Surly Abrasive Ale, but half the price for even more beer (8oz more)

And, if anyone can get their hands on Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout, do so immediately

So my bar had a Stone Vertical Epic tasting (06-12). I didn't go. That's the end of my story.

I used to like it. My palette has changed a ton since then, though.

Went to the "Straight to Ale" Brewery in Huntsville this weekend for my brother's birthday party. I had a bunch of beers. Just a rundown of what I had, ranked by my favorites.

1. I honestly don't remember the name of the favorite beer I had that night. I was quite drunk by this point. It was advertised as 13.895% ABV (the most legal in Alabama is 13.9%) but was actually around 17% ABV. It was much smoother than other beers of similar alcohol content. It was pretty much a VERY good IPA, probably one of the best I've had.
2. Unobtanium- This is a beer aged in bourbon barrels. It was incredibly flavorful, decently hoppy, and just an all around good beer.
3. Brother Joseph's Belgian Dubbel- This is a tappist-style beer. I've never had one before so I can't really compare it to others. But I enjoyed it.
4. Montesano Maibock- This was pretty good. It was somewhere between a light beer and an IPA. So if you don't love hoppy beers but you want something with flavor, this is a good one.
5. He Ain't Heffe- This is a better than average hefeweizen, a beer which I typically enjoy. Nothing special, but better than a lot of other hefeweizens out there.
6. Lily Flagg Milk Stout- Just your average stout. It was good but not really memorable. I've certainly had worse stouts, but I've had better too.

So if you ever have the displeasure of being in Huntsville, Alabama, grab a beer from Straight to Ale. Many restaurants across town serve the Monkeynaught IPA (their main beer which is very good) or you can just swing by the brewery. You wouldn't expect a place like Huntsville to have a good brewery but I really enjoyed it.

Decent beer... Mouthfeel was fantastic and it definitely had a lot of roast and chocolate, but overall it was underwhelming. Huge at 90 IBUs and 10.5%

[Brent]

Drinking this tonight:



wonderful, as always.

It wasn't just me who thought that, the list includes my dad, girlfriend, and 3 roommates who all got to try it because none of us enjoyed it enough to drink it.

Made me sad how bad that beer was.

[hobbes2053]

When I drank it, I had already drank a six pack of something and was a tad fuzzy. Who knows. But I did drink them all.

[Rob S]

I like Santa's Ale.

[hobbes2053]

12 ounces to drunk.
