Craft Beer - Post Your Pics!

[Glen-BoB]

I can't believe there isn't a thread in here strictly for Beer. Well now there is.

So I'm going to Phoenix and this store is about 3 miles from the house I am renting. I need some recommendations of beer they sell. I'm looking for Hoppy beers please. I've had a few of them they sell but not allot. HELP ME OUT!

Thanks

BoB

Hey I'm not in a rush, but whenever you can score me some KBS too I'd like to try it.

Do you like Amber Ale's ? I've found some good local ones around here ...

get in line dude!!

Does anyone know where I can buy a bottle of 1997 Sam Adams Triple Bock. I had a bottle a few years ago and I absolutely loved it. I've heard that the batch is kinda hit and miss tho. the friend that bought the case and gave me a bottle stored his in his cellar on their sides so the corks remained soaked. I left my bottle in the fridge standing straight up for about 2 years and mine tasted better than his, hahaha. Anyway, I'd love to give it a try again so if you know somewhere online, let me know. I do see a fella has 3 bottles on ebay for 50 bucks each. If I'm desperate you never know.

I'll look when I stop by my usual place today. They'll hopefully have KBS in stock.

Is it just as good as last year's batch? 24 bottles per case?

I hope they gave you a case discount. I can't wait to get some!

Yea it was a little cheaper buying the case.

I got my hands on 4 bottles (thats the max allocated per customer).

gonna have one tonight and save the other 3 for special occasions.

I got my pack last night too. The place I go was able to get 6 cases. When I got there they had about three 4-pk left (two on the shelf and the other in the pick your own 6-pk). I had mine in my hand and watched the other get sold. I almost missed out.

Just for the fun of it, take one and put it in a cool dark place (if possible) and let it age for a few months. The taste will change. It tastes good now, and even better in a few months.

I could maybe put a bottle in the basement for awhile, but the only other cool place is our fridge. Should I not be storing them there?

You want it somewhere where there is little to no light. You also wanna store it right around 45 -55F. Also make sure when you drink it you drink it at about 50-55F. You will definitely notice a difference. You dont get all the flavors when you serve it at the temp of a crap beer.

The store I normally shop at had about 6 cases but were only doing a 2 bottle limit. Most of the other stores in that area received a case I believe. I was talking to my buddy who is the beer guy for about 45min and during that time about 20 people came in looking for it. Luckily i have a case in my cellar haha. Let us know what you think of it!!!

Right now I am drinking a Surly Bender and enjoying the weather.

Cheers Everybody

My schedule and P90X have gotten in the way of me drinking a KBS, but I'll probably get to it this weekend. I've got to drink one of my own irish stout tonight in honor of St. Pat's day.

 

[mobius387]

had one last night. it was very different from even other stout's ive had. i really like it tho, the consistency and deep flavors matched some of the wines ive had, and i drank it like a wine.

thanks for the recommendation guys!

 

[splax23]

Today I am drinking a new shipment of beer i got in a trade i received today. Right now i am drinking Surly Abrasive Ale. It may be one of the best beers i have ever had.

 

[mobius387]

Two-Hearted is fantastic. One of my favorite IPAs. Anything thing you can get from Bell's is good
