What's your favorite Beer?

[Guest]

Much thanks for the Santa Fe Brewing love, Mr & Mrs JSJ!  I didn't know they sold outside of New Mexico.

Thanks, Adam. We love craft beer in Gawd's country. One of my best friends is the head brewer at COOP ale works. This is the first Santa Fe I have seen, so I had to snag it. DELISH!!!

I'll post some beer porn later.  My current favorite beer would be Dogfish's 90 Minute IPA which is in close contention with my go-to Arrogant Bastard Ale/Lagunitas Lil Sumthin'

Dogfish's 90 Minute IPA

Awesome choice, love this one.

[emceeQ]

^That's always a great choice.  Had a bottle of the 120 Minute IPA the other and wow, does that thing pack a punch…

[joesaintjohn]

I've never had a dogfish head that I didn't think, "holy shit, that's CRAZY!!!" I love the sheer amount of balls those guys have.

[pbdeng]

I've yet to try the 120, but i love those aggressive American ipas so I'll be sure to snag one when i see it.  I've greatly enjoyed palo santo marron (also by dogfish) which is a nice hoppy brown ale.

Can't go wrong with any Dogfish Head, another brewery to look out for is Southern Tier and Stone.

I've got 3 Southern Tier Pumpking in the fridge right now!

Stone is delicious.  Again,  their arrogant bastard ale is awesome and ruination is a great palate destroyer.

Clicked on the thread wondering if anyone would have mentioned my favorite, Stone IPA, to see that it was mentioned in the last post. Will pick up a six pack of the Dogfish Head 90 minute tomorrow and will report back!

@xchen:

Dogfish Head 90!

Comes in a Four-Pack, and many members have testified to its divinity, myself included, BUT it is one of the greatest IPA's in production, pleez injoy!

[pbdeng]

While you're at it pick up a case of Hoptimum if you can.  I'm generally not a fan of Sierra Nevada (something about their pale ale just bothers me, I only taste bitterness and floral overtones that I don't care for), but Hoptimum was delicious.  It's aroma isn't too florally, has a nice thick resin-y stickiness that slides off the tongue and just the right amount of malt.

I would also suggest Hop Stoopid by Lagunitas.  It runs at 102 IBUs, but honestly it's such a smooth tasting beer and ridiculously cheap (4 bucks for a 22oz).

Been a while…

PS: totally have a St Feuillien glass but the St Bernardus glass is 100x better (heavier, more robust) and has the same shape... 

[thomasnunnally]

I want that glass….and the beer would be nice as well!

[joesaintjohn]

Those glasses were pretty easy to find here in OK. I'll check to see if any of my usual liquor stores still have the special three packs with the glass and I'll send you one.

Badass, just get at me when you find out!

Celebration selection, and not a Belgian in sight.

Got my 4-pack of Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA and sampled for the first time tonight. Very hoppy but very smooth. I'm a fan. Also thinking of getting a growler.
