Baby Hercules Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 This has got to be the most misnamed beer in history. Loser Pale Ale is simply delicious. http://www.elysianbrewing.com/beer/loser.html I'm not usually a woman for hops but the combo they have goin' on in this bottle is two inches away from addictive. It's sweet without being cloying, smooth without being mild, thick without being chunky. 7% will improve your mood in twenty minutes. Recommended as a gateway ale for stout and porter lovers. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/700/44568 Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Sounds like I need to try this Loser ale. This weekend I had the best beer I've had this summer so far, and possibly the best beer I've had in 2012, and possibly the best beer I've ever had in NY. Kentucky Bourbon Ale. Its by Alltech brewing company. Actually at a vegan friendly bar that serves vegan food and hosts vegan events there sometimes, called Pine Box Rock Shop. I've been there a few times before but this is a new release. If you like the sweet taste of bourbon you will love this beer. Its like having a shot dropped in your beer. Ooh and its 7% as well. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I'm not into bourbon but I like the name of that bar. Rolls off the tongue. Hey, C.O., have you noticed we're basically the only two lushes inhabiting this thread? I think I need to reexamine my life. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yes I have noticed, but I don't let it get me down. No examination needed. When we live just as long and healthy as the straightedge folks and knowing the wonders and flavors of craft beers, we'll have the last laugh, and all the laughs prior as well, things are much funnier when inebriated.

blabbate Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oops, I just haven't been posting. Thinking about recent stuff ... the Sam Adams Homebrew winners were pretty good, particularly a Dark Night in Munich. Went through a bunch of He'brew, including a 13 and a 15, both delicious but deadly. The Victory Summer Love was ok, not great. Sweetwater Happy Ending was tasty this year. Oh, Sierra Nevada Hoptimum. Yikes. Strong, delicious, but very bold. A sipping beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 yes, blabbate, great to see herc and I aren't alone here. I've had the hoptimum and the victory summer, not a fan of either. Probably have a similar palate as you. I want to try the sweetwater happy ending. They name sounds intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do a half of one, or nurse one over an hour or two. Tough for parties, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabbate Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 This weekend was the Jailhouse Summer Wheat, Breckenridge SummerBright Ale, Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest, and Unibroue La Fin Du Monde. The Jailhouse was pretty good. Light and refreshing, not too sweet. Summery, but not citrusy. The SummerBright was fine, nothing special. The Harvest was tasty, but not as much of a saison taste as I expected. More of an IPA feel. And the Fin Du Monde, of course, was delicious. As it always is.

C.O. Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yup the fin du monde is a great beer. I just picked up a sample pack from Unibroue that included fin du monde, maudite, trois pistoles, and don de dieu. I haven't tried the other 3 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 trois pistoles = sex in a bottle. Yes, it's that good. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ephemere is also really crisp and refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.O. Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hahaha I love speaking English with a french accent or when french people speak english it cracks me up. Got to try a beer card Yards (brewery) and the type was saison. Was a good beer, clean, flavorful. Its a local Philly brewery. Had it out of the bottle at a really great restaurant in Philly called Talulula's Garden. Vegan options were limited but yal know how to work around that scenario. I'd like to try it on tap if I ever get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Alchemist Celia Saison is a new, good quality, GLUTEN-FREE beer. They even carry it at Trader Joes. It's not super cheap but its worth trying. Especially if you are into cutting out or down on gluten in your life. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, you're on your own, guys. It's been a fun summer but I'm off the stuff until a sweet pumpkin stout rears it's beautiful, frothy head next October. I'll leave you with this until then...(Warning: Profanity).... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6fHQVyesj0 Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Haha thanks BH that video was good! Oh I tried a Captain Lawrence brown bird ale, it was very tasty. It was my first time trying any from that brewery. Looks like they have a whole line up of styles too. I'm going to pick up some liquid gold soon.
