The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

I haven't had the 90 minute in a long time. I need to pick that up and give it a try again.

 

I've been drinking predominantly IPAs since I could afford to do so regularly, say, 2003?

 

I'm pretty fickle with IPAs. I find some to be bitter and I don't enjoy them at all. However, the ones that I do like, I can't get enough of. I drink most types of beer though, and I usually have a wide range of styles on hand.

 

Seems like sours are the next big thing in craft beer. I haven't tried one yet.

 

Pliny report...
Pretty damn tasty! Shared with a friend, may have been a lack of judgment considering how rare they are here. But joint consensus was delicious.
No pics, you've all seen it,

 

I certainly agree. For the first few years out of college it was basically Sierra Nevada or Boulevard Pale here in the Midwest. Nothing else available. I remember being overjoyed when I heard that Schlafly's APA was going from a seasonal to a continuous offering. Now there are 5 craft breweries in my little city alone. Happy days we live in.

 

Not bad.

 

I dig the Sierra Nevada Torpedo. One tall bottle of that gets a nice buzz goin. If its hot out I dig coors light cause i can have a ton of em, but evening time the taste of a good IPA is hard to beat. Another thing about IPA is that you can drink them fine if they aren't super cold.

 

Good stuff.

 

Oskar Blues-Ten Fidy(Imperial Stout).

 

Absolutely the best that Oscar has to offer!
Love that brew.

 

Getting around to trying it now. Pretty good stuff.

 

Wait until you try 120 Minute!

 

Next time I go to the store I'll get some. The store I go to seems to have quite a bit from Dogfish Head.

 

120 is a limited release that only gets released a couple times a year and usually doesn't last long. It's also $$$.

 

It was right next to the 90 today. Maybe I'll have to stop in tomorrow.

 

I have found sours generally are hit or miss for people. You either love them or hate them. I love them. I love hoppy ipas more, but after a few big IIPAs my palate is destroyed, and there is nothing better than throwing my taste buds a 180 and sipping on a nice lambic or berliner weiss. Good sours are expensive though. I have a few $20-$30 bottles aging in the cellar now. I know youre a jack abbys fan, i am trying to get my hands on a growler of triple dry hopped hoponius union. They made it for EBF (extreme beer fest) this weekend in boston and i think they might have some at the brewery for growler fills.

 

Hmm... I haven't seen any around here. Be careful. It's 18%+

 

I was thinking of going to Jack's Abby tomorrow. Looks forward to trying that triple dry hopped Hoponius.

 

Yep, only two cases here, twice a year...
But 90 is readily availabl and 60 is a daily IMO.
