When you're really thirsty on a very hot summer's day, nothing beats a 12 pack of Coors Lite... tastes like bottled water and probably has less alcohol...plus you get your deposit back on the bottle.

Today I treated myself to a six pack of Highland Brewery's seasonal Devil's Britches red India pale ale...

Never had it, but I love everything else they make...

Whilest at the store I saw a 12 pack of assorted Highland goodies....but alas, Devil's Britches was not amongst them. And I really wanted to try it....yes
..mostly because of the name... :)

I've been enjoying the winter selection of beers. Leinie's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter and Boulder's Shake Chocolate Porter.

Though it will be nice to start switching it up with spring beers and I'm already looking forward to days spent in the pool enjoying Summer Shandy. :)

This reminds me. ..when I had sushi last, I was introduce to Japanese beer. I think Kirin dark is my new favorite. Now to find more...lol

cinnamongrrl 02-25-2015 06:29 PM

Devil's Britches was good...fruity tasting almost...then a super hoppy finish. I didn't hate it, but Gaelic Ale is still my fave :)

ooops, I was informed it was Asahi Dark beer. Well, I must confess, it was a good time and I was tasting everything! It is dark, lookie....

'Tis the season for Abita Strawberry Harvest. My fave. It isn't a sweet lager at all, but it has the perfect hint of strawberry.

Ascot 02-26-2015 06:04 PM

I will readily admit to being a beer lightweight. Give me a cold Rolling Rock and I'm good. I'm much more of a wine guy.

Beer lovers:

Am I odd...or just fabulously focused....in my belief that chocolate and beer pair well??

Its almost as good as pizza and beer...which I also had tonight..

Certain beers and chocolate go together, so no you aren't odd, to me that is
:jester:

Not odd at all. A high octane chocolate stout is my favorite kind of beer.

I have never understood beer and pizza. It is beer and diet coke/coke!

randrum 04-03-2015 05:45 PM

My sister got me a 6-pack of Shiner Birthday Beer for my birthday. A really tasty chocolate stout. And I recently picked up some Guinness and Guinness Blonde, so this weekend I'm thinking Black & Blondes are on the menu. :)

Corkey 04-03-2015 06:10 PM

Having a youngling lite (sp) at the present

Sammy Smith's organic chocolate stout right now

Bèsame* 06-24-2015 11:25 PM

My new summer brew...try it!
 

cinnamongrrl 06-25-2015 06:19 AM

I'm going to an iconic local pub on Friday and I'm determined to try some new beer!



I am hopelessly devoted to Highland brews....but I know I have to branch out...

Asheville is far too much of a beer town for me to set my hat on just one brewery! We have 2 dozen breweries in the Asheville area alone.

For a new beer lover, this is heaven :)

Why does everyone and her sister think she can brew a great craft beer? Lots of that stuff really stinks but you don't know it till you've paid for it. I don't want prune pits in my beer no matter how "interesting" it sounds.

cinnamongrrl 09-15-2015 08:12 PM

I may have forgotten to mention, I tried a lovely Porter while out to eat

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/11597/37327/

It was so good; if it really did come from a can I had no idea...but Im pretty sure it would be on tap at its own brewery.

cinnamongrrl 09-27-2015 05:31 PM

Im sooo super excited! I joined a local beer lovers meetup and we are doing a brewery tour of one of my favorite local beers...

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...HKbBYI9CW95Eik

Which...now that I think about it...may not be local persay...but they do have a brewery here....locally....

nhplowboi 09-27-2015 06:38 PM

A Molson Triple X can (tall). Admit I really, really miss the oil can.

Chad 12-27-2015 03:26 PM

Beer
 
I usually like Guinness beer but coming in second is a nice Scottish Ale called Belhaven.

On a hot day you can't beat Modelo Especial from Mexico.

I am a Texan so also try Shiner Beer it goes well with tacos.

Yes. The Torpedo Extra IPA is my current draft choice at my local watering hole.

Corona Extra...goes great with the leftovers,deli oven roasted turkey breast and cheese.

Angeltoes 12-28-2015 11:27 AM

Nope, I still can't drink beer unless it's fruity or creamy (just like me haha), but I do like mojitos. :)

A. Spectre 12-28-2015 11:39 AM

My beer of choice. *insert naughty laughter

I've been Ballast Point's Victory At Sea lately. It's coffee and vanilla imperial porter.

Very, very interesting. I am definitely going to look for this one. Sounds right up my alley. Thanks for mentioning it! :beerbros:

cinnamongrrl 03-01-2016 09:17 PM

My daughter's good friend was passing through from Florida headed back up to Massachusetts and brought me a beer he particularly loved from Florida.

Its called Jai Alai. Its a wonderfully smooth IPA. Pretty honey color and sweet foamy head when you pour it out....just delish

Because of my IBS I can't drink ales or bitters anymore :( and I never could stand hoppy. I loved the local craft beer in the 90s but when I came back 5 years ago, the craft beer had gone all hoppy. Every single one of them that wasn't a stout.
I had been drinking very lovely beer in the UK and in the Netherlands - bitter and ale from the UK and lager from Germany and Belgium - all very good and a *variety* of kinds of flavours not just kick you in the face with shoes made hops.



Granville Island Lager is a local lager that I like.
Crisp malty, with a hint of grassy herbal hop aromas. A *hint*- just enough to make it refreshing but not enough to make it even slightly bitter or jumpy. It's incredibly smooth. It goes incredibly well with delicate food like halibut because nothing is punching the shit out of your pallet - but it still has a full, firm body to be able to cleanse the pallet between bites of fish and seafood, so you can taste your salad or sesame roast potatoes with miso gravy.

HB, what do you mean when you say "bitters"? I see that you don't like "hoppy" beers (which translates that you wouldn't like IPAs), but hoppier the beer, the more bitter it is. So, I am confused.

----------------------

No doubt I have written in this thread before....but... my favorites are Stout, Imperial Russian Stouts to be exact. I like ones that have a chocolate, roasty overlay to it. I also love imperial IPAs. It is the high alcohol content beers I tend to like...not because they are high alcohol content, but because it is the high alcohol content beers that are the most robust. I am seeing more Black IPAs/Black Ales too. I am liking the taste of those, I am finding. They have the roasty tasted of the stouts I like, with some hoppiness on top. So, somewhat of a stout/IPA, which works for me. What I like about them is they have the robust taste that I appreciate in a higher alcohol content stout (8.0%+), but hang out in the 6.0% family, which suits my head a bit better. I'm ok with some Red ales, which I will reach for if I am finding that the IPAs avaiable have too much of a grapefruit taste to them.

I don't like milk stouts, and I really dislike low alcohol content stouts as they taste exactly what I would picture a higher alcohol content stout halfed with water would taste like (Guinness, for example..I have no idea why people like these except for maybe the frothy head, which I can appreciate). I don't like Tripels. I don't like wheat beers, and I don't like Belgium/whites at all. None of those flavored beers either. HATE them. They remind me of people who get "coffee" which is nothing more than flavored syrup, whipped cream, and whatever else they put in those drinks. Not real coffee.

I love draft beer much, much more than I like a bottle, which means going out to pubs, so my pocket book get hits quite a bit. I have thought about getting one of those kegerators, but they are expensive. I am also concerned I will drink more since I will have draft beer easily avaialable to me. Beer from cans definitely taste better than bottles, but the craft brewers who put their beer in cans, which although is increasing, is still much lower than bottles.

Martina 04-07-2018 03:02 PM

You asked HB, but bitter ale is British ale that is slightly hoppier than pale ale, but nothing like the double and triple IPAs now popular in America.

How do you all like sour beers? I tried them first at Russian River some years ago. I like them.

Re Guinness, I agree that it lacks complexity and has no finish at all. But you can drink more of it than those chocolatey stouts.

Martina 04-07-2018 03:21 PM

I have to add that I am not too fussy about style, meaning I will drink pretty much anything as long as it's well made. I also like a flavored beer at times. There's a cherry porter made by Short's in Northern Michigan that is beautiful. The cherries are local. So good. I only had it once. Mmm. Also a good Weiss beer is fine by me. Basically, as long as it's well made, I am for it. And it doesn't have to be complex or surprising. You can tell a good clean beer that is carefully made.

I agree re Belgian whites. The soda pop of beer. There are good ones, but Blue Moon, Shock Top, and Fat Tire . . . ah no.

Thanks for responding since our beloved HB pops in and out off the site. You said the British Ale is not as hoppy as the double and tripels, but what about the regular IPA?

You know, I don't think I have had a sour yet, but I have been meaning to. I wouldn't want to buy a six pack and my regular bar hasn't had any on tap yet (even though they have 37 taps and switch them out frequently). I suppose since they are called "sours", I picture them to taste like Mike's Hard lemonade or something...which I am sure is not the case!

And true that with Guiness being lighter one could drink more of them. But, I feel just a lacking when I drink them. I might even choose a Coors Light over it if I had no other choice. Which sounds crazy, I know! It just tastes like I'm drinking 2/3 water and 1/3 beer. Tasteless. The aftertaste is water. It might just be my palate.
