The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

When you gonna be in CO? I'll be on the western slope June 16-23. Shall I bring your socks?

 

I'll lack them just in case.

 

delicious.

 

All this Sculpin talk got me curious!

 

For my NW buddies on here......Disneyland for us beer guys opens tomorrow in Portland!!!!!!

We've had them here in Eugene for awhile and it's badass!!!!!!!!! Get anything BONEYARD Brewery if they have it on tap. They change taps constantly. LOVE IT!!!!!!

Its one of the highest rated IPAs, so damn good. Go get yourself some, you're missing out!

I heard about this from my buddy that lives up there. It's such a good idea and I'm jealous I don't get to participate in the fun

 

Ditto. Never even heard of it. Of course NM has some pretty kick ass local IPAs and we get all the good shit from Colorado too so that keeps me plenty busy.

I've been drinking a lot of Stone's new session IPA lately, Go To IPA. Really good and lighter on the alcohol so you can knock back a handful of 'em without getting smashed. Perfect for these 100 degree days we've got going on down here.

 

Old Chubb is probably one of my least favs from Oskar Blues. Deviant Dale's IPA is hands down my fav of theirs. KILLER beer!

 

It's so badass. We have Tap N Growler here too with 71 taps of different beer. And the Growler fill station....it's like a gas station but you are fillin your growler with 40 plus taps of whatever.

 

so jelly

 

That ain't all......This week all thru Eugene/Springfield it's brew week.

All breweries, bars, pubs etc. have insane shit going on. Growler fill stations are having crazy sales, new IPA's, it's crazy.

Sasquatch Brew Fest is going on http://www.northwestlegendsfoundation.org/

I have my 3 growlers in the truck ready to go......just overwhelmed to shit on where to go 1st


DRINK FILL REPEAT

 

Knocked back a couple of these last night. Love me some O'Dell!

 

So...I can eat any kind of hot shit. Ghost peppers, habaneros, etc.

Anyone ever try any of these?

I want to try to find the sculpin here in town.

 

I live for that beer

 

Bwhahaha!!!


I've been drinking a lot of the old chub nitro cans!!

You will for sure be up to try the OB so I would hit up Odell too.

The myrcenary is my fav from there.

Also the Lugene, cut throat porter both of these on nitro are amazing. The mountain standard is good too. And if you're already in Ft Collins you should just head over to new Belgium.

If you're going to be in Denver river north is a great brewery, Denver beer company, Prost, great divide. The rumble, and Titan, the claymore Scottish ale are good.
The boulder area I like upslope the lager is awesome.
Hopefully Sam chimes in.

 

Ready for the weekend

 

I just restocked too, good beers you got there. I bought what's in my pic, Plus a 24 pack of PBR tall boys, and a case of myrcenary. Been going to bentlys lq store to earn my points. I saved $20 off my purchase today.

 

I have found most pepper beers like that make better chili than anything.

 

Very nice selection

Weekend came early by the way...

 

You guys need to come to San Diego on a vacation and hit up all the local breweries. So many great brewers here and all within 15-20 mins of each other. Stone, Ballast Point, Green Flash, Lost Abbey, Alesmith, Karl Strauss, Coronado Brewing, St Archer, Societe Brewing, Mission Brewery, Hess Brewing, and the list goes on! So many awesome craft bars that always have speciality /casked/firkin stuff on tap that other markets can't get.

As for the habanero sculpin....it's hot...not what I look for in a great IPA but def get a taster if you can (after you are done with all the other beers as it will ruin your pallet lol)
