Beers Of Stangnet

A couple of updates from the family Christmas dinners... yep, two of 'em!

My cousin offered me a Rhinegiest Truth IPA. I'm not a big fan of IPA's in-general, but this one was okay. I would not pass on it for free.

On the other hand... Same cousin gave me a 12-pack of Jai Alai IPA as a gift. "It's really popular right now." (I noticed he didn't have any in his cooler...)
Nope, sorry, this is why I don't like IPA's.

So, anyone near Dayton, OH would like some IPA's?

Watching Barrett Jackson tonight... opened up a Christmas gift. This beer has a different taste and is real good!! Can definitely taste the peppers, but just the right amount!

I like IPAs. That IPA is not a very good one.

Ok, I tried a new Imperial Stout from a local brewer here in Tulsa.

It‘s 8.5abv.

Really, not something to shout about. I can taste the wood from the barrel it was aged in. Maybe a slight scotch flavor to it? IDK.

It doesn’t have the flavor of an Imperial Stout to me, but what do I know I guess.

I want to support our local brewers, and I usually like Marshall Brewery products. This is just an overpriced ok beer to me.

Looks like a port barrel? Not the best choice for a stout. Again. Prairie. . . .

So, my favorite liquor store is out of my go to (Founder’s Dirty Bastard).

I like it a lot, but not enough to travel in the rain tonight. So I decided to try Flying Dog’s Gonzo.

This is the first Imperial Porter I remember trying.

Deep into my second one after work, I got to say I like it a lot.

9.2abv. Very similar to an Imperial Stout, just not as cloying.

I got a feeling I’ll end up buying out the liquor store’s stock.

It's been a little while for me! I've had some brews here and there since last time but it's mostly been my typical go-to beers.

This weekend saw another dinner party with our usual friends, the first in several months and the first since my girlfriend and I moved into the new house. I bought a sixer of Cold Snap to have on hand for our guests but one of them brought a Blue Moon sampler to the party. There were only 3 flavors in it: the regular, a Mango Wheat, and an Iced Coffee Blonde. I'd had the regular of course, and the Mango from a previous sampler, but the Iced Coffee Blonde was new to me and though I'm not a coffee drinker whatsoever, I was intrigued by this offering.




It was pretty good! The coffee flavor was not overwhelming at all. I enjoyed it and between the two beer drinkers that were present, we killed those right off the bat.

I wouldn't mind drinking it again.

Non beer. Bib and Tucker bourbon.

Moderately priced, excellent whiskey. I paid about $55 for this bottle.

This is one of the best flavored bourbons i’ve had. I will buy this again.

Kind of a neat bottle.
