The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

I'll have to give it a shot. It sounds pretty good haha

 

Couldn't find any Creme Brulee but I'll keep looking.
They did have that hot sauce rooster stuff that some of you guys like, I may wait a bit to try that one but they also had a really delicious looking chocolate stout. And of course a nice Stone IPA, with our state holiday as the drink by date.

 

I've been wanting to try that Rogue!!!! Let me know how it is

 

I love me some Flying Dog. Lucky SOB is one of my favorites from them.

 

ROGUE-Double Chocolate Stout is definetly a double compared to there regular one.Doubly satisfying!Not sure but i think the alcohol content is a little higher as well it's a dollar or two more.The bottle is definetly different from the regular.

 

had the 420 a couple of days ago, not bad.

 

Do you visit hill top liquor on beach and Indianapolis?
If not. You should

 

Been there!Used to bicycle ride over there when i was thirsty when i used to live on Memphis/Alabama quite awhile back!My friend just moved in that area and i told him to hit that liquor store up.Possibly let's hook up and talk/enjoy quality beer and of course Tacoma's!Appreciate you hitting me up about 4Son's a few weeks back!Still haven't stopped in there yet but plan on it!

 

Beach city has better choices and prices.
4 sons has a better environment, like some games and food trucks once an while.
For sure we should meet up maybe even make our am Orange County meet up

 

I always have Kronik (the old name before it was censored). One of my favorites growing up. The brewery is 7 miles away and my buddies wife works there. They get a free case of 22s every week. The Kronik and the Lil Sumpin are anytime go-to beers. I love living between there, russian river brewery, bear republic, fogbelt, 3rd st aleworks. Its a privilege.

 

Well......had the Sriracha Rogue last and well....


First off it's great beer. It's Rogue so it's real good.
The thing I had a problem with is if someone poured it in a glass and said "here try this" I probably would of said "wow that's a good ole stout beer".

Zero heat, zero Sriracha taste so I was bummed.

1. Was I expecting to taste a mouthful of Sriracha sauce - NO.

So:

2. Have I had so much Sriracha (I eat it close to daily) that I couldn't taste or smell it?
3. Have I had so much Sriracha that the gimmick of the beer is just a gimmick because I know Sriracha so well I would be able to taste and smell it?



I was so excited to drink it that I forgot to roll the bottle back and forth a few times just in case this beers Sriracha ingredients settle to the bottom.
I will say that the last two drinks of the beer I think I could taste a hint of Sriracha (a teeny hint) and I could taste a little bit from the beer "film" left on my tongue.

Was it good? Yes it's Rogue for fucks sake.
Would I buy it? NO. For $14.00 a bottle and zero Sriracha fun, I would rather buy my normal sixer of Ninkasi and be in heaven.

Oh well. I love trying new beer and this was on the top of my to try list so on to something else.

 

Ever had Chili Devil from Azteca? It's got a little heat to it.. it's a lager not a stout, but it has a serrano pepper floating in it. kinda strange. lol




Anyone had the Rogue Voodoo Donut? I almost bought a bottle the other week but decided against it.

 

Didn't have a chance to try it last night, had to get up way too early this morning but it's on tonight's menu for sure.

 

Just saw this right now, interesting take on it and I'll have to look up some of the beers. Obviously this is a few guys opinions, but that is quite a few beers to choose from. http://www.pastemagazine.com/articl...116-of-the-best-american-ipas-we-hav.html?a=1

 

I asked my girl to try it so I can make sure I'm not downing this beer and she looks at me and says HELL NO!!! Sriracha is disgusting. I said Sriracha is my ketchup!!!!!

Yeah after taste (while sucking my tongue to roof of my mouth...if that makes sense) I could taste it a bit.

I think I had my hopes pretty high too because they are onto a good thing here. It just needs MOAR!!!

 

I need to know

 

I'll look for that too.

What's cool is the BierStein here has a cooler that is half football field long full of beers from EVERYWHERE!! I walk in and they say "hey Ross what ya lookin for" I say CHILI beers....hot beers....something like that.

I seem to be hit and miss on when those release. They even tell me it's a surprise for them when those come in.

I'm waiting impatiently for the phone call when Stones:Crime and Punishment comes back (if it will).

 

I had the Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout the other night. It was really good. Too bad I don't have any more, and probably won't find any.

I also picked up a six pack of 21st Amendment Down to Earth session IPA. The first can was pretty good. The second can was not so good. I had them on different nights, so I'm not sure what the difference was.

 

That's not a bad idea!

 

REK Honey Pils.....great summer beer.
