mpitts Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I had a bomber of Lagunitas Hop Stoopid last night and I loved it. Floral and hoppy but light and crisp. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Stoopis is great! Lagunitas is a strong brewery all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Anyone have any suggestions for good mid-range beers, like <$10 for a six pack. I've been kinda bummed on beer lately. The prices keep going up while the quality goes to shit. Pretty much every time I go to the beer store I end up just picking up Yuengling or Sam Adams Octoberfest because I'm tired of getting hosed by second rate craft beers. I'm also pretty fatigued by breweries feeling the need to make all of their beers the most extreme version of a style. I just want to enjoy a nice beer or two before bed, y'know? I was thinking about it, and my go to kind of national drink is Magic Hat #9. I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaxcowboyx Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This is not cheap by me. It's like $9-$10 for this 6 pack. hmm. regional differences maybe. i usually see it right at $8.99, which is what PraiseMorph was looking for (<$10). I don't think I've ever bought #9, but if memory serves me correct, it's usually 7.99, but it's been a couple years since i worked in a bottle shop. ah, the good ole days, haha.

steviex2shoes Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 yeah I want to say Dale's is closer to $10 for the 6 pack and Magic hat is usually $8 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If I'm going cheap I'll usually reach for whatever seasonal variety Sam Adams is offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxcowboyx Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Did anyone else try the New Belgium 'Sin and Tonic' last night? it was a collab beer between Kim Jordan and the Girls Pint Night Out (GPO) founder. It was supposed to basically emulate a gin and tonic, but with the base beer being a small-ish IPA, brewed with lime, quinine (the compound in soda water), juniper berries, and dry hopped with Sorachi Ace. If you like gin, it was awesome. If you don't like gin (this guy), it was hard to choke down. Still a neat idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it at all similar to Rogue's Juniper pale ale? On the NB collaboration note, I had their collab with Dragoon (Tucson, AZ brewery) called Westerbru the other night on tap. It was delicious. It's a hoppy fall lager but seemed more like a hopped brown ale to me (may have had a few before trying it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videogamesandvinyl Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Picked up some Southern Tier 2XMas Ale today on lunch. Going to crack one open after work. Also want to try their Old Man Winter Ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Wasn't a huge fan of Old Man Winter Ale but I'd be willing to try it again it was a long time ago that I had it last. Went on the Lakefront Brewery tour today it was pretty fun. I always enjoy going on brewery tours though, best ever really has to be Milwaukee Brewing Company, it's basically open bar for like 2 hours and pint glass for $10.

rtw88 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm drinking a Lagunitas Pils right now. It's good but I feel like all Lagunitas beers taste similar with varying hop intensity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, i can get behind some Juniper Pale, but this was hitting all the qualities of a gin and tonic, not just that juniper bite. Sin & Tonic probably isn't a bad beer, just not good beer for me, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried it, but I've tried Hopadillo, and it was fucking delicious. I assume Karbach knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just spent 5 days drinking in Austin and tried a ton of new beer! The highlight for me was Infamous's cask pecan pumpkin porter, it was fantastic. I also really enjoyed the Jester King's Noble King. There was plenty of other good stuff I tried, but those two really stood out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
