but then, i think killians is utterly atrocious, and i'm sure that would garner a fair amount of disagreement, too.

I guess I just think there are much better breweries in Coloradical I'd much much rather drink.
Killians Is crap too. Come to think of it, I actually don't really like red beers in general.

No, you're right. I think most would consider Two Hearted their flagship since Oberon is a seasonal- which is probably why you rarely see it. If I saw Oberon in the winter months, I wouldn't buy it and I'd be looking for dates on any beers I bought at that store.

That's kind of what I figured. You get Bells all the way out there in Oregon?

You got a problem with Coloradical?

Brothgar · 10-29-2009, 10:56 PM

I think I'm a beer homer I really really love this beer its very hoppy and a citrus after taste but yet so much more it even makes my burps taste good.

My current favorite, and best beer I've tried in a long time:

Victory Brewing Company - Hop Devil.

Their Storm King Stout is a solid Russian Imperial type stout.

PROST!

Victory's Octoberfest or Festbier as they call it, I think is the best Octoberfest out there.

I've never seen a variety pack from them. But I'd try and get that festbier while you can. They release all the seasonal beers a month too early and take them off the shelves a month too early as well.

09 is really good. A stout. I have an 07 and 08 but am saving it for 2012. I remember I didn't like 07 when I first had it. I'd recommend getting the 13th anniversary ale. A hoppy red ale. Also really good.

I was at the Stone Brewery three weeks ago. It's really cool there.

victory makes my favorite barley wine

Ha, maybe you shouldn't tell me you live right by there then.

I was there in the afternoon. We were the only people upstairs, playing pool and ****. Don't worry, it wasnt like either of us would have recognized one another.

Honestly, I don't think that's really all that taboo any more.

By the way, I miss having a large liquor store around so I could buy premium beers on the cheap. All the places around here jack up the prices.

P-L · 10-30-2009, 05:07 PM

I was thinking of trying one of the following tonight:

Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown Ale or Bell's Winter White Ale

Anyone reccommend one over the other? I'll probably end up trying both, but which one should I try first?

Brothgar · 11-06-2009, 10:17 AM

Guess what guys! That's right its time for another seasonal beer fest in Philly!!!

52 Breweries from around the country (and some foreign) I've only tried have these breweries anyone have any thoughts on the rest of them?

Still love Blue Moon.

I like 'em both.

If you like white beers, get the bells. if ya want to try a chocolatey beer that's NOT a stout, get the nut brown.

if it's me, i'm gettin the Bell's White because that's my favorite winter beer.

OregonDucks · 11-08-2009, 11:56 PM

My plans for the evening..... A nice frothy IPA.
