JCC The Official Craft Beer/Microbrew Beer Thread

I'm intrigued yet worried about the banana bread beer. The wife will drink very fruity beer (Leinenkugel's Berry weis, New Belgium's Frambozen, etc.). Something she'd like?

My soccer bar put Great Divide Hibernation Ale on tap, so I had that during the game Friday. Not as good as the Rumble, but a very enjoyable winter ale. VERY flavorful, very rich.

 

If she's into banana-flavored stuff, she'd like it. I love fruity beers but this was just...weird.

 

I didn't even know banana beer existed. I'm intrigued to say the least.

I'm thinking next weekend, I'm going to branch out and buy one of the higher end Blue Moons. That was my go-to beer this summer, but I bet it's an even greater beer for the fall season.

 

Some say, including myself, that they can taste banana in some hefeweizens. Wish I had one now.

Finally got to try Southern Tier's Warlock and it's my new favorite brew from them. Not too sweet and tons of flavor (plus it packs a nice punch).

My roommate and I recently split a bottle of Dogfish Head's Positive Contact and I'd put it in my top 5 beers I've had. If it weren't so pricey I'd definitely stock up on it.

 

I love Warlock. My wife says it's her spirit beer.

I finally opened my bottle of Cigar City Hunahpu last night. It was fantastic. Much better then when I had it on tap in Hunahpu Release day. I highly recommend if you can track one down.

I enjoyed that one too . They just released a lips of faith collaboration with Cigar city. Keep your eyes open. ;-)

I need a new tasty beer besides Blue Moon.

 

I'll have one of everything then!

 

What styles do you like and what state are you in?

I'm in Minnesota. So far I've had Guinness which I liked for a long time, Blue Moon both regular and the pumpkin harvest, that godawful Minnesota brewed Lost Lake, and Redd's Apple ale. I'm still searching in vain for the perfect beer, but so far, I like RA and Blue Moon quite a lot while Bud Light Lime is a great last-minute purchase if I'm in a rush.

 

Look for Hoegarrden. (sp?)

Or I areas going to suggest the beer that turned you into a stout loyalist Healer_Leona Left Hand Milk Stout, or their milk stout nitro, also available in 6 pack bottles.

Yeah, Left Hand Milk Stout is divine. If you get Great Lakes brews out that way, give the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter a try (perfect beer for November 10, anniversary of the shipwreck)!

 

I've tried some of those coffee beers too which are really really good.

 

I was less than impressed with the local beers I had when I visited Minnesota. But, you should be in range of getting some very good beers from Great Lakes.

Also - it's almost time for New Belgium to put out Frambozen. Goodness, I love that beer.

 

I'm not familiar with Frambozen, so I looked it up and that sounds like heaven. I need to try it.
