So i just got done with Stone russian imperial....WOW!!! This IS good brew! Almost a salty-ish finish but its balanced with a molasses note. More carbonation than expected but not in a bad way and you could tastes Stone's hoppy-ness the whole way through....if you've drang Stone before....you'll know what i'm talking about. I'm getting more....lots more! I'd like to line up Stone, Sam smith and Rasputin in row one day and compare all the imperial stouts...maybe with a hearty maduro. Any takers
I accept this challenge, sir! I've never carried the Sam Smith IS, but will order it this week. I'll get it in on Thursday, but won't have a free day to tackle this beast till later next week. Though I could buy the Sam Smith from one of the areas other reputable sources and tackle it Wednesday. We shall see.

What do yall recommend for a nice refreshing beer after a twelve hour shift of manual labor in 90+ weather with 60-70% humidity? Something cold and refreshing!!

Stella Artois
isnt that a gay beer/ woman's beer?? (In Bruges with colin farrel)
i think i should start to take part in this thread soon. im not that well versed in beer as some of you seem to be but i know what i like. ill post more later.
I've been enjoying some Sierra Nevada "Torpedo" lately. It's an extra IPA that has a ton of Hop flavor to it. Reminds me of Bells 2 hearted. Awesome...
So if anyone goes to South Lake tahoe, let me know...ill give you directions to this brewary...a true warehouse place....guy has a tiny ass 4 seater bar in there and is open to public 5-7pm nightly...thats it...
he only has two choices on top and its whatever he feels like...he makes all the beer himself(hence the warehouse) and almost every place in tahoe sales it....
so if you like PORTERS then this is the guy to see...he makes a porter like guiness, just more hop taste to it, and is almost 10 percent! freaking awesome...best part, 3 BUCKS A CUP!...bring in a gallon jug thats been cleaned and he will fill it to the brim for 20 bucks! lol...awesome fucking guy...
we first went there, and we asked him if he went to school. he went and graduate from berkely. awesome. we ask why he got a bio chemistry degree(looks like a drug addict though)....lol...and he was very honest with us. METH. he wanted to start making meth but made beer instead...i would say a wise choicse in life! lol
I have a feeling that this little newbie's gonna get flamed :P But I hate most domestic beers (especially the "lite" ones). They're just not strong enough. If I drink anything domestic, it's Samuel Adams Boston Lager. For the most part, though, I love imports like Guinness, Warsteiner, Franziskaner (sp?), Yanjing, Taiwan Beer, TsingTao, and Foster's.
Actually the real reason behind this thread was more to show the love of Craft beer and imports... mostly the microbreweries that dot our great country seem to be the main talk but yea feel free to bring up any import or craft just no piss beer please.
got a great little belated bday present from a friend yesterday, 3 packs of different craft brews. Had a Samuel Smith's Brown Nut Ale last night, great heavy beer

Sam Smiths Nut brown has been one of my favorites for a few years. Great beer! If you ever see it try the Rogue Hazlenut brown.

still a fan of the arrogant ***. its so much better on tap but getting that on tap in ohio is no easy task. there is only one place i know of that has it on tap. ... its to bad that bar kinda sucks in all other aspects.
I had a magic hat wacked out summer. Not very good IMO. It turned out that it was a Red beer, fairly heavy. Totally out of balance. Especially when I was thinking I was cracking a lighter summer beer..... Buyer beware. Maybe not that bad if I was going for a red. I typically dont gor for red beer.....
New member here, and this seemed a perfect thread to hop in on. (pun intended)
My wife and I share similar taste in beers - tending towards the darker stuff. My current favorite is Alagash Black, which is basically a really stout-y Belgian ale. Some friends recently brought us back a small sampler from a brewery down in Williamsburg... We've had the brown ale, which tasted more like a porter, and the porter, which tasted more like a brown ale (I actually wonder if they didn't mix up the labels on these!), and have a coffee house stout left to try.
The only real challenge is finding a good summertime beer. The stuff I normally like is great, but it's too dang heavy to drink on a hot summer day, or out on the beach!
For even more fun, I helped a buddy brew up a 5 gallon batch of Heffen-Weizen over the weekend. I've got a couple sticks reserved for kegging day for that batch!
