The Beer Thread

Six ounces of some to be determined beer, after the King of the Hill marathon.

I am having some neighbors over and I will leave out my liquor cabinet and wine refrigerator contents since this is the beer thread, but here's what I have:

12 pack Bell's Winter White Ale
12 pack Bell's Two Hearted
2 4 packs of Founder's Breakfast stout
4 of those 750mL bottles of Hardywood Sidamo Coffee Stout
4 pack of Stiegl Radler

Mock away, beer people.

the breakfast stout and two-hearted are solid offerings.  white winter is fine/ok.  the bourbon barrel aged version of the sidamo stout was a little disappointing, maybe the non-barreled version is better?  don't think i've had the radler.

so while i wouldn't got trekking through 2 feet of snow for that selection, it's be happy to have it as accompaniment to the impending Doom of White.

Well, they're "trekking" less than 2 blocks.

I post a Sturgill song here
1. because it's in front of a wall of Sun King Brewery cans
2. It is just freaking too awesome not to share

Sometimes I love this dude, sometimes I just can't get into it… I dig this tune.

Sue arrived safely!

Has anyone had the 2011 Atom Smasher by Rock Bottom (they have it in Bethesda)
it is absolutely delish English Barleywine and highly recommended (by me)

I really like Bells Two Hearted.

I stocked up as well. Got 4 sixers of this at home, and I'm not even that big of a beer guy.

I spent 160 at the stupid store, Southern States, and butcher combined, so that I just went with something that I normally would not have.  It was easy and cheaper compared to the beer store, and that was a new belgium box set with bonus beers, one catching my eye and making me buy the thing . . . called, snow day winter ale.  Plus a 6 pack of brown shugga.  Amazing that my local, little food lion is carrying anything excect the beast ice and mickies big mouth.

Drinking yet?

I have, had one.

six ounces of Jai Alai at lunch

Invitation from a neighbor: "We're having a party tonight, we'll have beers and snacks. But feel free to bring over some of your rare beers, we've got small glasses so everyone can share."

They adore me.

Right when the flurries started at 1pm I was at Total Wine Chantilly. I left with a Growler of Forge Roggenbier and a bottle of Ommegang Rosetta (I might get a four pack next time if I dig it).
