Beers Of Stangnet

Picked this up at my local Costco. It’s a little mini keg. 10% abv. Saw it a while ago at about $32, but today it was $16.97, so had to do it (I guess it wasn’t selling)
It helped drown my sorrows as my Islanders go down 3-0 to the Hurricanes.

Hopslam was a game changer about 10 years ago. While it's still an excellent beer when fresh, modern IPA drinkers are looking for a far less malty backbone to go with their hops.

I would certainly crush it though.

I picked up some SA Summer Ale earlier this week so I had that on hand.

Tonight I saw this at the local store:



Mountain Girl hefeweizen by Union Brewing here in Baltimore. It's pretty good; it's got a mild translucency to it so not quite as cloudy as some other hefs...I was kinda on the fence about the price though; $10 for a 4-pack, but they are 16 oz cans.

That is pretty clear for a weizen

 

[IIGood]

Yeah, I thought so too...there's been one or two others that I've had in the past that had similar clarities to them. I even swirled the can a good bit to see if it would stir up any yeasts, but apparently not.

Jusht reeallly... rally...relizid... noticed I'm drink poshting agin! < Why ishned thish a drinking icon?!?!

I bought something new!

There’s a local brewer called Marshall here. He made a barley wine (my favoritist style).

It’s only 9.2 abv. Only meaning only by barley wine standards.

Most excellent brew. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

A little John Barleycorn to go with barley wine?

This is a local brewery that sold out to Anheiser Busch....... still good stuff though. Anyone see Blue Point in other parts of the country?
Went to a cask festival at their brewery a few weeks ago. Lots of good stuff from all over the northeast.

It’s not here in Tulsa.

Latest find for me. It's another Eviltwin Brewery stout.

Eviltwin is a Connecticut brewery, so you guys up there should know about these brews.

I've really enjoyed the various forms of stout they have. This one at 9.0abv is the lightest offering I've sampled from them.

In the end, a good stout, nothing remarkable to note though. If you want a stout and this is given to you, you'll drink it and not feel like you have to.

Evil Twin isn't a Connecticut brewery. In fact they weren't even a brewery until January this year when they opened a brick and mortar in New York.. Jeppe started out as a gypsy brewer some time ago contract brewing at breweries around the world. If the beer you're drinking says that it's brewed in Connecticut, then it's brewed by another brewery for the Evil Twin brand.

Also of note, Jeppe's twin brother Mikkel started gypsy brewing first under the name Mikkeller.

That’s pretty interesting. I’ve really enjoyed their stouts.

Hence the "Evil Twin" label.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

That's because they're outstanding! Grab a Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch/Breakfast if you come across it. You won't be disappointed by the other twin either.

The do NOT get along.

Brought home some Great Lakes Brewing Elliot Ness Porter. Higher priced six pack, but good stuff!
I was amazed when we went to Longhorn Steakhouse last week and they actually had this on tap! I've been telling them for YEARS that they needed a darker beer on tap to go with steaks! They always seem to have Blue Moon and other crap... I mean, "lighter" beers, and those just do NOT pair well with STEAK!

I've seen Blue Point down here in MD. Mainly their Toasted Lager, which I enjoyed.

Picked up another hefeweizen; one that I've had before (and mentioned in here). This stuff's darn near opaque!!
