What beer are you drinking right now? Part III

[spade2you]

Been trying to finish up my summer type beers like wheats, pale ales, and saisons. I'll be transitioning with some local Oktoberfests before I start to get a little dark up in here.

Blue Moon is a decent stepping stone beer. New Belgium's Mothership Wit is a similar beer, only better and their brewery is very environmental.

I picked up Shock Top's pumpkin beer. Haven't tried it yet. I normally make a porter with a bunch of cinnamon that kinda has a pumpkin pie vibe to it. The roasty nature of the porter helps balance out the sweetness. I still have a 12 pack of it and a case of my Christmas beer, which mean I don't need to make them this year.

I currently have Northern Brewer's saison noel fermenting using Wyeast's Farmhouse Reserve. They instruct to ferment anywhere between 70-95 degrees with this yeast strain. I've been running low 80's. Very interested to try this one when it's ready.

Yeah, it's definitely one of those "readily available" types but it's one of my favs which is a bonus
Another that I would fit into that category is "Shock Top" (Belgian White):

For an Anheiser-Busch product, it's not too bad. In a pinch, it'll do.

I'm definitely going to have to try the Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale now!

I didnt know Shock Top was Anheiser-Busch. It does suffice in a pinch.

shock top, hoegaarten, blue moon...they're all good beers, especially for a hot day where you feel all muggy and need to be refreshed

Everyone has different tastes. I don't like Belgian wheat beer because of the coriander that they add. It's all that I can taste.

It's all in good fun. No harm was meant My friends and I completely trash each others tastes in beer, but it's only because we care

Matt - have you tried this one yet:

If not, give it a shot. Good Fall/Winter brew IMO

hoegaarten - that good one!
I've heard that one called "Wife-Beater" more than once from some of my UK coworkers..

Getting to be stout season for me.

Actually all seasons are stout season.

I've recently acquired a taste for Imperials and can say that they are one of my favorites

 

[spade2you]

I don't drink stouts during warm weather, much like how I avoid lighter ales and lagers during the winters. Stuff like my Russian imperial stouts and smoked porters are killer beers for the dead of winter.

Ive not. I tend not to purchase many lagers, and I dont recall having seen it, but if I do I'll pick some up!

If you havent tried it, I highly recommend Firestone Walkers Parabola.
Its a special release Imperial Stout with a 12.5% abv

I have some dogfish head 90 minute and flying dog raging b****. Two of my favorites. I think I'm going to try the Brooklyn Lager this weekend though.

Love the Dogfish head stuff. I just had a Bud heavy on the deck with my dad, American flag label and all. It rocked.

If you're into lagers, the sam smith organic lager is great!

 

[klejst]

Just picked up a 12 pack of Sam Adams Octoberfest...yep it's that time of year and I love it!

(I became a non-drinker when Clinton was still in office, but I do like a decent NA now and again.)

A friend left four bottles of Bard's in the fridge, which is doing a surprisingly good job of washing down a tray of take-out sushi.
