    Not usually a fan of New Belgiam beer. Fat Tire is...okay...but, stumbled upon a seasonal, and it is "Delectable".

    Anybody else sipping on some tasty barley pops tonight?

    My favorite seasonal from New Belgium is their wheat, Sunshine. Best wheat brew I have ever tasted.

    Not drinking tonight, but I put down a bunch of Spaten Oktoberfest's last night playing pool. I also had a local IPA, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites:

    It is heavenly. Their other beer I *love* is the smoked porter. Holy sh!t is that one good. Probably the best porter I have ever had.

    Really?

    I have a 12 of Hoptober fest, only to be followed by a Samual Smith's Taddy porter, and if I'm still not "There", I have 8 Guiness Draught 16 ozers.

    Right now, I am REALLY enjoying the hoppy beer..but I do say, it is really giving me a Flatulant effect :lol:

    Sometimes I wish I did. The Harpoon Leviathan IPA that I like is around $14 for a 4 pack. Thankfully they are over 10% ABV, so it's like drinking 8 regular beers :up:

    Thank God! It's not just me. Not only does it make me fart, they smell like something you'd find dead in the back of a garbage truck.

    Sam Smith - awesome. Love their oatmeal stout.

    Guniness is like the light beer of stouts. I love it, but there are much better stouts out there.

    And when I want to get loaded, I break out the scotch. :pointlol:

    Yep, I toggled between the OS and the TP. I opted for the TP as it is the only beer I can find that reminds me of Watneys Cream Stout.... RIP :cry:

    Bc nobody in Mexico ever uses a lime for any alcoholic endeavores?

    The orange actually adds very little to it.

    No. Was referring more to Tequila but whatever floats your boat.

    And I've also had a Heineken without visiting the Netherlands, so go figure.

    Good enough, cause the quality control of ANYTHING coming out of Mexico is exactly....well.....ZERO.

    Our GOVT doesnt want to F-with it.

    Their's doesnt either...so, they sell us whatever keeps us happy.

    If its Tequilla or Mexican Beer, more power to you :up:

    I'm sorry, but nobody buys a nascar tire-shaped case of Natty Lt bc of the amazing taste.

    eh, its begian style wheat. really not that bad. i dont prefer that type anyways

    heck, michelob makes pretty decent "craft" beers at a really reasonable price

    blue moons seasonal varieties are also very good. the huge brewhouses can make quality when they want to. heck, the fact that a bud from 20 years would taste the same as one make today is no easy feet.

    a couple of years ago bud did a "same day" promotion where they were sampling beer that was made on that day. i have to say, it was really really good
