What beer are you drinking (or rating) II: second bottle

I haven't tried any of their others, but if Ten Fidy is any indication, I'm sure I will.
Friday night I had just opened up a pint of Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier, took a drink or two, and started dozing off. So, I put the bottle in the fridge. The next morning I woke up, found the brew to still be bubbly, and poured it into a glass. Best morning beer!
Just had a frustrating night of practice. Was rehashing some basic minor scale shifting and it seemed like my fingers were just tied up in knots. Screw it, I'm having a Ten Fidy...
Smart move. When I get off this plane and get home, I'll tip back a G'Knight and then say good night.

had one of these on saturday night :
SO FREAKING HOPPY, but good, none the less. The 1L bottle was a bit much, I must say, though, for me. For you hop heads, it's perfect though. 7.7% ABV.

I like pretty much all Stone brews, (see my avatar! thats up on the wall at the Stone brewery which i visited a few weeks ago) and yes, the Ruination IPA is quite hoppy. Their regular IPA is much more suitable to my tastes.
When I was at the brewery I tried 2 new Stone brews. One, the Sublimely Self Righteous Ale, is served 8oz. at a time. Its a black ale spawned from the 11th anniversary ale, very good!
The other is called a Cali-Belgique. A fancy way of saying Californian brewed Belgian style ale. It tasted like Delerium Tremens to me. It was so good I paid $27 to take a growler (2L) of it with me!
I love Belgian style ales. I'll have to hit it up when I get back out to Cali.
I really want to try their regular IPA. I'm not traditionally an IPA guy (my drummer who doesn't drink bought it for me at the liquor store he works at) , but it wasn't bad, just intense. It could really REALLY ruin a meal.
Definitely go, the tour is free, about 45 min. long, and they serve you 4 double shots of different beers: Pale Ale, IPA, Smoked Porter, and Stone Ale.
Their regulr IPA is good, about as hoppy as a Sierra Nevada, only with a little more floral taste. Its much more mellow compared to the Ruination.
Tonight it's Torpedo:
By the way, I brought a six pack of this beer to a Super Bowl party a while back and two guys that run a well known east coast brewery were there. They demolished it in minutes.

Here we go!
Speckled Hen - Honestly, I don't care for it. It's got a strong coffee (toffee) flavor to it, and it tastes burnt in a bad way. Not for me.
Bass - Wow. This beer is light, but it still has a good flavor. I'd definitely buy again.
Wacko #9 - Interesting brew. Like all #9's you have to try it for yourself. I liked it, but other might not.
Estrella Gaillica - Not bad. A lighter beer, yet somewhat bubbly. I'd buy again.
New Castle (bottle) - No where near as good as tap. It tastes heavier and has a nuttier flavor to it. Not bad, but it's not tap.
Double Bastard - My God this beer was heavy, but I loved it! It's not for the faint of heart, but it's tasty and worth the high price if you like strong ales. 10/10.
Papbt's Blue Ribbon - I know, I know. It's cheap, but honestly it's better than Bud, Miller, or Coors. Worth a buy if you're on a budget.

The next few weeks are going to be nothing but cheap lager of the local variety...
But of late I have enjoyed Hoegaarden (the greatest of all beers), Guinness (a close second) and Spitfire (which I mainly drink because of the adverts and the roundel bottle tops...). All great beers, which I'll be seeing very little of in the weeks to come
