What's your favorite Beer?
-
I think the most interesting beer I had this year, was a coffee DIPA… Brasilian piece of work... Absolutely astonishing... Mate you can fucking wake me up any time of the day for a good cup of Joe, and if you add a DIPA to it... I'll be close to purring
What I like in a beer?.. Summat new, perhaps?.. Am I the only one who's growing tired of beers that are too sweet?.. I've found myself going for more "ordinary" stouts recently... Fuck me: barrel age 'm on anything and everything, but hold the multitude of sweet adds, please and thank you...
But it is so subjective, of course, as my main squeeze Jett29 pointed out... Mind you: he doesn't know he's my main squeeze and might be filing a report as we speak...
Whether or not beer has blown my (tiny) mind this year?.. Yeah... It has... On many, many occassions... And it's why I'll stick to this hobby (called alcoholism) for another year... I'm not at a position to both indulge in wine and beer financially, unfortunately, because I do love me some of the red Frenchies; but I can honestly tell you that wine has dissapointed me easily tenfold of how much beer has...
But it is subjective...
And I'm tired...
Although I love this language, I will just stick to posting some pictures for now... Lemme have an espresso, and I might add to this... Let's ramble!.. Let's all ramble!.. I love a good free-flow ramble...

Seul I really enjoyed reading your recent posts. I agree with you about sweet beers. I have been staying away from almost all beer with adjuncts. Not drinking any more fruited sours or milkshake IPAs.
There is something about the way a beer looks in a glass that resonates with me. That Pinot Gris Tilquin looks amazing.
This was a solid IPA from Black Flag

While not something to enjoy year-round, a little Mad Elf when the weather gets cold is a staple for me
@ARNC I've never had a beer with hazelnut in it

@Joberwocky It was good (and I guess an inevitable choice for that particular brewery). I don’t really have any beer flavour comparisons but it made me think of Ferrero Rocher and Kahlua (although the stout didn’t have anything like the same level of coffee flavours).

Nice

I think it’s a requirement to have at least a few Mad Elfs every season in our area. Not my favorite beer, but I drink it every year.

I agree @Soleamp , it's a beer I've grown accustomed to picking up every year, while a "cherry beer" isn't really my style of choice

Oh nice, Tröegs! I went to their brewery a couple of years ago while visiting a friend in Harrisburg. Nugget Nectar straight from the tap was awesome. Too bad we don't get their beers over here in Europe.

@tody never been to the brewery but as a Philly guy, Troegs is a stalwart for me. More recently I'm hitting up Flying Dog's (Maryland) Triple Dog, which is an embarrassingly heavy 18.6% TIPA
