THE BEER THREAD(?)----->!!!

Ha! I could tell you were from Michigan just by looking at this beer selection!

Is it just the brands? Most of the people I know just drink cheap lagers, and I'm pretty much one of the only person I know who prefers dark heavy beers.


Anyone here try an oyster stout? I came across some and was rather perplexed, yet intrigued. I decided on something else, but I am still so very curious...

I have, though I can't remember enough of it to recommend it either way. It was a little... mineral-y? Maybe?

Crap, now you've got me wondering again. I'll have to pick one up to remind myself what I thought in the first place.

Yeah oyster stouts shouldn't be actually fish-y, it's more of a salty, maybe slightly sour note. It all comes from alehouses in england back in the 1800s that used to serve stout together with oysters so often that the two tastes because a paired thing.

Here's what I'm having tonight. Goes great with a Bruins game.

Got a fiddy dollar gift certificate for father's day to buy beer!

I'm gonna go blow it all on PBR.

Had some Breckinridge Vanilla Bean Porter the other night, pretty good but a little too heavy on hops. The vanilla was very subtle.

Oaked Arrogant Bastard. Prolly one of my favorite beers.

TRVE Brewing. The blackest of stouts.
You guys gotta have a look at this. I want to try them, they sound good.

A Left Coast Asylum Belgian Triple was consumed last night. At 12% ABV It got me feeling pretty good after I finished it. Pretty tasty but you could definitely feel the heat from the high alcohol content. Had Great Divide's 19th Anniversary Ale the other day. I was not a fan at all

Still up, for tasting, just sitting in my fridge, is a bomber of Chocolate Yeti (which I am sure will be delicious like all of the other Yeti variations I've tried) and a bomber of Steel Toe's Size 11 Triple IPA. I tried a sip of my roommate's Size 11 and found it to be absolutely delicious so I'm looking forward to that one.

Me and my friend, a Leinies original.

Had a couple of Allegash Whites (TWSS). Tasty.
