What's your favorite Beer?
-
With the family in Colorado for the week. Local beer from the nearest liquor store.
-
Oh man, you're in the deep end!! I've worked for Avery and Oskar Blues, knew the guys at Baere and Powder Keg Brewing, and frequented Upslope, Epic, Great Divide, Breckenridge, Crooked Stave, and Post. But, holy hell there are a lot of breweries! Good Luck. If you need any advice on the best selections for a particular style that you like, lemme know! Let that be the only Coors you drink all week!! There is so much more….
-
Promise that will be my last Coors. What brewery's should I look for. I like a lot of beer styles. When I walked into the store last night the guy asked me what I like. They had mamma's little pils and I told him that was one of my favorites and he recommended the others, minus the Coors. Oskar Blues has become a lot easier for me since they opened nc brewery. Love Avery as well. Going beer shopping again tomorrow. Look forward to your suggestions

Mama's Pilz. :-\ Hey, it's all good, but why not go BIG?!! In this case you need to buy the Avery "Lilliko'i Keppolo" immediately. It's their White Rascal-ish recipe aged on Passion Fruit.
It's expensive-ish, but so is everything, it's worth it for the flavor. It's better on tap, but the cans are SOLID. You can find them pretty much everywherehttp://www.ratebeer.com/beer/avery-lilikoi-kepolo/125959/
This was the beer we drank on the line during the rushes, which was all day, this and the "UNCLE JACOB's STOUT" (But that's a horse of a different color). If you are in Boulder, take Foothills Parkway northbound to Gunbarrel and look at their epic new brewery location, complete with the twin lakes and plenty of walking paths if you can make it out of the brewery!
Where are you staying, location wise?

And @Broark , this is on my must find/drink list! And that glass is stellar. Well played
-
@adam313 If you're still in Texas it should be somewhat easy to find, Lone Pint used to brew it once a year but it's gotten quite popular lately and they've moved it to year round production. If there's a beer I could keep 6 bombers of at a time it would probably be fresh Yellow Rose! Sadly I don't have the fridge space for that.
-
I am. In Dallas proper. I will scour the city tomorrow. Pics to follow
Although if I could, I would keep Pliny the Younger in my Fridge, but we fucked that up the year we were able to buy growlers of it and it sold out in hours, literally.
-
See I've had Pliny the Elder when I was out in SF, and honestly I thought it wasn't nearly as good as Supplication from Russian River. But Pliny the Younger is a different monster I'm sure.
And really if I could keep a case of anything in the fridge it would be Atrial Rubicite aged in sherry barrels.
But that's just crazy talk! -
MMMMMMmmmm, aged on dried Cherries!
And yes, triple IPA's on draft are
Googling Rubicite, keep talkin!…..good work
-
Atrial is one of those ones that you'll have to make it out to Jester King to get (at least in previous years).
Really most of their sours tend to get really hyped up, not always rightfully so, but most I've had are great.
Sadly their production is still so small that a lot of the time if you're not lucky enough to make it to the brewery the weekend that the beer gets released you might miss it entirely. Kind of annoying as someone who works weekends at times, but when you do get to go out there it's always a great time.
The one I'm still kicking myself for missing out on was Fen Tao. -
I have nothing against a road trip with a purpose
-
Fen Tao was very, very good. I got super lucky on that one.

So looks like Jester King is having their Zwanze Day and releasing Cantillon for the first time legally in Texas, I'm going to try and get tickets to it. A ticket garuntees you a pour of 2015 Zwanze and some other swag.
But it ALSO guarantees you to be able to purchase one bottle of Cantillon from these three: Bruocsella Grand Cru, Kriek, and Gueuze.
Which two would you pick? I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to go with me so I can get two bottles.
But if I'm not able to convince her and I go on my own, which one would you go with?
They're also going to have both Kriek and Gueze on tap, so I'm going to definitely drink those too.
All things considered this is only if I get one of the 200 available tickets!
In other news I'm drinking another Live Oak beer that has recently been canned, their Pilz.
Very nice, not as nice as their heffe.
-
The bruoscella is definitely one for the future. I got it without doing research first and it needs a couple of years proper cellaring. As I didn't have the facilities to do so at the time I had it young and it was not a great time

The Gueze is excellent. I'm envious that you'll get to have it on tap (if you get a ticket, that is. Fingers crossed for you).

Canadian beer. Spicy, soy, wood, rum, chocolate - real nice sipper!..
