The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Just got a refresh from da beer store.

 

His and her’s. Got all excited when I saw this Sweet Water brew. Pretty damn good too

 

Robinson’s
Trooper beer
Inspired by Iron Maiden
Cheshire,England
4.7 Alc/vol
It’s gotta be my all time favorite cap. The bottle graphics are awesome. The cap is just killer!!
The taste...I kind of like it. My wife looked like she just drank a Busch light.

The bottle sold me. I had it before in a 4 pack cans for $10.99.
The single bottle (24oz)$4.89.
The bottle is just pure awesomeness if you love Maiden like I do. If you live in Wisconsin,swing over to woodmans grocery store and hit the liquor department! It will be the talk of the collection if ya got metal head friends.

 

One of my favorite Maiden songs. I was in high school when Piece of Mind came out and I used to play it all the time. I had a rather physical after school job and loved to crank up my cassette of PoM to help pass the time. It was my go-to "work album." Good times, good times.

 

Ha, kids today will never experience using the cassette recorder(double cassette player) to copy tapes or the tape spool crapping out inside the car stereo. Using the record player in the family room with my cassette recorder right next to the speaker. Lol

 

Bells Oricle DIPA, and Bell Two hearted ale on tap and quite tasty. Forgot to take b4 pics. Now to bicycle home

 

Novo Brazil The Mango Beer IPA. Two thumbs up!

Utah Don't have Shit for Good Beer So Last Night we had Pendleton Rye Whisky Aged 12 Years and that was good and today the Yard Work is Done and Kicked Back with a little Apothic Red and Spanish Goat Cheese and French Bread.

 

Unita makes some good beer. Based out of SLC.

 

I have Heard that and Every time I have drove by the Place they have been Closed......

 

Easy to get here in NorCal...

 

In the area and took a tour of West Point.
Near by town had a good place to stop and reflect on history. Peekskill Brewery NY



Manager was at front door for meet and greet. Pays to shit/chat and find a few gems not on the menu!

Great stout started with the name To the Moon but they placed it in some aged barrels for quite a while and brought it too another level, only 8% . Not labeled yet but now it’s known as To the Moon and Back !! (The 12% Cinder was also tasty that %age was sneaky!)

Finished off with a nice IPA and a gd meal.
Put it on the list!

 

I can go to many Local Stores and get it but what is sold in the Local stores is the Watered Down Zion Curtain version ..... 3 % and that just taste like shit. to get the good version here you have to purchase it either at the State Owned Liquor store and Pay $$$ by the single Can or Go right to the Brewery

 

Yikes. Utah has some dated liquor laws.

CA has some weird laws too but not on our beer, wine or spirits!

Anyway UNITA is really good if you can get some.

 

Oklahoma had similar laws until a few weeks ago. Only 3.2% or less could be sold at gas stations and grocery stores. Anything over that at liquor stores only, and liquor stores could not sell cold beer.

As of October 1st, full strength cold beer can sold everywhere. I’m seeing tons of beers that I haven’t seen before popping up at all the different stores around. It’s nice!
