The what beer are you drinking (and or rating) thread.

I wish I could drink IPA's. Just can't do beers that are that hoppy

After drinking IPAs for years now Guinness and Sam Adams drink like water. I used to think that Guinness was sort of chewy and complex now they are light and refreshing compared to my regular rotation. Which include Loose Cannon IPA , Lagunitas IPA, Sierra Nevada, Hoptical Illusion and Rocky Mountain IPA.
 
Currently drinking my own brew, its an attempt at a tripel karmelit clone, it came pretty close, slightly less sweet, I'm rather enjoying it.

Also drinking a home-brew ruby ale that another brewing friend of mine made. I don't know what he was aiming for, but it came out tasting rather like Hobgoblin by Wytchwood. Its also pretty tasty.


And, as always, throwing plenty of Guinness down me. You Guinness fans REALLY need to try it when its poured properly in Ireland.
 
I just finished work for the week. My wife says "I got you a Chimay Blue. It's waiting for you in the fridge".

No, you can't have her. She's already married to me.

Yum, Chimay Blue....just found a place selling for $9.99, loving it.

Just finishing a Port Brewing (San Marcos, CA) Old Viscosity. Nice dark beer, 10% alc, chocolate/oak finish. This is one I'll have to stock up on for good Guinness loving friends.

cheers!
