The Beer Thread

Finally cracked open the BCBS Cherry Rye last night. The hype for this beer is totally justified. Definitely one to share amongst a few people as it's really heavy and 13.7%, but man, it's one of the best beers I've ever had.

Also tried Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Bigfoot. I'm not a huge barleywine guy but this one was a winner.

So I managed to score a 64 oz growler of this stuff for $7. The 26 oz bottle goes for $9ish.

Very good stuff, though not sure it's worth the bottle price.

Had that the same night as the Cherry Rye and Bigfoot. Really liked it. Still want to try Rye on Rye.

Max?s Belgian beer fest in Fells Point is slated to have over 100 Belgian beers on draft this weekend. Which is ironic, because in Belgium you?re lucky to find ten beers on draft  at a top notch beer bar at any given time.

gawddam that looks good.  next to no change that i'm going to make it tho.

Big Hunt's got the RoR on draft as well as some other quality beverages …like,…. Hopslam, perhaps……

Have only been there once.  Wish I could get myself up there for that but I'm heading out of town early the next day.

That Belgian Beer fest is REALLY fun.  It gets crowded quickly, so get there early.

Has anyone had the 21st Amendment stout brewed with oyster shells?  Sounds interesting.

Definitely a (beer) tourist bar.

Sounds too crowded and kid-unfriendly for me.

I like their Friday pre-Orioles game Happy Hours…when anything under 8% abv is served in a 32 oz cup for $6. Had one Deviant Dales and half of something else and barely made it to the game when a friend and I went last year.

A bar being kid unfriendly?  That is quite suprising.  Max's doesn't seem like a good place to pre-game for the orioles drinking 32 oz beers.  long way to the yards.

Too far away!  I stick to Pickles. 

for belgian pubs in philly… i'm a big fan of Eulogy.

looking forward to checking out some spots during the homebrew conference, if I can survive the day to make it out.
