american craft beer week

so this week is craft beer week. i celebrated it by checking out my local brewpub and trying the century stout (a russian imperial stout) that had been aged in whiskey barrels. pretty cool stuff.


(not the actual stuff, but similar)

after that, we got some Ephemere (Belgian style beer from Canada)



and now im finishing the night off with a Double India Pale Ale called 'GUBNA' from Colorado.






anyways, how are YOU celebrating craft beer week? hopefully not by drinking miller lite

:xmastree:

Happy Birthday!
mods, feel free to move this to the appropriate section

 

Double ipa!?? What?

I tried this ipa called f5 last night. It's brewed here. I kept my expectations low and was actually pleasantly suprised. Somethin about it though just seemed a lil off.

I had no idea there was even an American craft beer week. Il start my celebration now.

 

yea Oskar Blues calls it an 'Imperial India Pale Ale' but i think thats dumb.

who brews f5?

:xmastree:

im about to celebrate again tonight with some Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, then a 90 minute IPA, then probably something from Lagunitas.

yep yep

 

Brewski

 

My alcoholic roommate and his alcoholic friends have forever, in my mind, associated the word "brewski" with budweiser/old english 800/mickeys..... ughh.

I mean, there's no beer like free beer, but.... ugh.

Being 19 and home from college, I have no way to really enjoy quality beer... so... have fun with your beer snob week

 

hey im no beer snob...ill sip a warm forty of Steel Reserve

OR

a pint glass of pecan porter


cuz its all good

and im about to explore some more cannabis now thank you.

 

I didn't say it's a bad thing, I'd rather be a beer snob than cheap boozer

 

coop ale works brews the f5.

I got a buddy that's a fan of lagunitas. He gave me a max.....somethin. I dont remember too much about it though.

Weeks over but Ima keep celebrating.
My cheers smiley ain't workin, but ones there. Somewhere.

 

yes the week is over but im still celebrating with some:

Raging Bitch:


Storm King Imperial Stout:


and some Deadlift Imperial IPA:

 

Beer ties my tummy all up in knots. However regardless of that fact occasionally I enjoy a good kilt lifter, Rasputin, or peach ale.

 

wow mandy you drink rasputin? holy shit

 

yep. I like dark stuff. If I can see through the beer I usually will not partake...unless it's peach ale. yum.

 

This is my favorite to drink in the summer.
