A Czech style pilsner and an oatmeal stout.

My beers of choice tonight were;

Lagunitas sucks

Gulden draak 9000 quad

Drakes hopocalypse.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

My favorite drinks depend on where I am drinking. 

 

Angels day games: Leinenkugel Summer Shandy

 

I had a friend that bought a case of this one hot summer weekend.  I was hesitant at first thinking it was just a novelty beer, but boy was it good. It was like liquid candy that had alcohol in it.  You could drink a six easily before you realize its beer.

Anything from Green Flash is good.

They had the Friendship Brew on tap at one of the local pizza places, last night.

A very smooth black saison.  I could have had a dozen of em.

OC Beer festival. I went last year and had a fantastic time. Lets get a group of people together and possibly pick a costume theme. This year it's May 18th. Anyone interested?

Got a 6 pack of this last week, it's fantastic

Yes, that is a very good beer.  Not sure I could drink six at one setting, but its a good for a few. 

[Stradling]

Tried the Blue Chimay finally. Wow. Great flavor! How's the Red compare?

The red is still really good, but nowhere near as good as the Blue.  If the red was half the price then I would drink the red, but considering the blue is the same price, I'll stick with it.

Oh, if you are looking for an affordable Belgian style beer, believe it or not Trader Joes has one that is about $4 or $5 for a big corked bottle (750 ml).  It is pretty good, I think it is made by the same brewery that make Trois Pistole and La Fin de Monde.

went with friends to lagunitas brewery on sunday coming back from up the coast at sea ranch.

still awesome.

I used to dig this but over time, the fake coconut taste becomes more and more apparent.   If you haven't tried the pipeline porter, that's a good one by Kona, or go hit the coconut porter by Maui Brewing.   Blows this one away.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Gonna get me some of that

 

I've had it and it is quite good.

 

 

Has anyone had the Chimay anniversary beer?   It's supposed to be better than the Blue Label, 10% alcohol, about $14 a bottle at Total Wine.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

This is cool.

Am I the only person that giggles when I see growler used seriously?

[katie]

My boyfriend collects growlers. Grr.

[Brandon]

I was clueless for the longest time about what a growler and flight were.

[St1ck]

St. Paddy's Day continues at the st1ckboy household.

 

[Brandon]

Had the Ballast Point Victoria at Sea, Alesmith Horny Devil, and Sculpin.

[katie]

Dayman coffee IPA, the new Stone collaboration. The two flavors actually compliment each other really well.

Going to Mammoth Brewing Co. this weekend woo

[Brandon]

Oh yeah, anyone go out or do anything for St. Patty's? Any stories?

I usually skip the drinking holidays but my business partner and I decided to take the day off and with that it allowed me to meet up with new business partners and hangout on a more casual level.

Nothing crazy to report. I met up but left after three beers. My watering hole is an Irish pub so it was already crowded at noon and the cube was weird since it's the businesses Christmas with regards to income. They overloaded on security and I saw a guy get tased three times. Thought I was going to have an altercation with a drunk that decided to swoop in and hit on my girlfriend when I went to the restroom, but her and I just messed with him until he walked away confused.

I got hammered the night before on wine, high end Scotch (Thanks Bruce), 4-5 Irish Car Bombs and 2-3 Jack & Cokes. St. Patty's Day was hitting up Tempe Diablo in shades (hungover) while listening to Tim Mead's incredible talk and Q&A, then brunch at Aunchiladas (had a bloody mary, but didn't help). Finally hit up the Angels game for about 6 innings, went home early and crashed for 4-5 hours.... had dinner with a friend, then hit it as I had to wake up early to catch my flight home. 

 

I had about 10 Kilt Lifters over the course of the weekend and it was the first beer I've had in 6-7 months. It was too tasty and cold to turn down. Part of my new lifestyle change is cutting beer out. Way too many empty calories/carbs. Once I cut that out and started hitting it, I lost some weight and stopped getting bloated (the IPA's were killing me).

I'm just getting started on this thread, but not entirely coincidentally I am steeped in growlers right now. There is no beer involved.

Nice dude. I lost a some good parts of the mid-section when I cut out alcohol and fast food.

I'm with you on the early bed. We were done by 7 or 8.
