Taking a break from Martini's shaken not stirred with James then?
I'll see your Molson Ice, and raise you a Colt 45 Ice. Or Genny Cream Ale when we wanted to be a bit more subtle... High brow was JW Dundee's Honeybrown.Unacceptable.
LOL
I drank Molson Ice when I was in school.
Right now: Maibock homebrew. Quite good.
Damn, good call! I'm going to go to the store with her tonight and see if anything catches her eye. She love Newcastle and likes darker beer, but whenever I suggest something she shoots it down. Anything specific you could recommend? If I can tell her, "Hey, someone I know said *beer name* was tasty." she would be more open to trying it I think. Oh, and +rep for this comment, for sure.Curbjumper - See if your SO likes smooth, sweeter dark beer. Like bocks, oatmeal stouts, milk stouts, baltic porters, etc. Most women I know really only like the darker beers, as they're not as bitter as the lighter offerings. I personally find it hilarious, since 10 years ago most women liked Coors Light.
Unfortunately, you can't rely on something to "catch her eye", since 99.9999% of marketing is towards men. I'd give you some suggestions, but I'm not sure how much is available in your area since the best stuff here is the good local breweries.
Dude, if your chick likes New Castle, go to BevMo or it's equivalent and get a bottle of Baltika 9. Thank me later.
IPA it is.
.Riding this weekend?sam adams octoberfest
I could probably do that. It's in primo shape right now.
No BevMo in BFE
Hell, it's like 15-30 mins (depending on traffic) to drive 4 towns over to an ABC Liquor. We have Publix, Albertsons and Albertsons Liquor. I know you're thinking like HAB here:but contrary to popular belief, the Albertsons Liquor and Publix beer selection is quite diverse. I'll snap a pic next time I'm in there.
I'm just being an ass, though I've not seen a good selection in an Albertson's around here.
I had one last night. It's OK, not anything really incredible IMO. Defiantly interesting, but not really quite my cup of tea. It is 12%, so that's fun.
Yeah. Though I really like Oaked Arrogant Bastard, and that tastes even more like chewing on a stick. I think the difference here is that it's a bit more alcohol forward (it's 12% for fvcks sake), and is really really heavy on the roasted malt, so it's got a bit of harsh bitterness at the end that makes it feel like it's biting back.
I was just down in Newport, Oregon (they have a brewpub, brewery, and distillery there) and I wished I wasn't unemployed so I could've brought back cases of the stuff. Their XS line and John John creations are ridiculously good.Just went to the local cult beer bar and had a Yeastie boys punkadidle on the hand pump; then a Rouge Brutal bitter, and have brought home a takeaway of Rogue Dead guy.... But I'll leave that until tomorrow night. Just going to pour myself a small night cap of the Emerson's Grace Jones porter instead to have while I read in bed.
where are you now?No BevMo in BFE

The beer selection was infinite when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. The Publix and Albertsons Liquor down there was awesome as well, but we could also go to Whole Foods, ABC, and a handful of specialty beer/wine stores (all within 5-10 minutes of home...)
One of my absolute favorites. Not quite the best tasting but it just feels so right.Rouge "Dead Guy"
I went to Beer of the World which is a little bar in Miami that has a 4 page menu of just beer from around the world. I wasn't seeing a price but I saw Dead Guy at 9% and Double Dead Guy at 17%. I was like "WTF? Double?" So I ordered one and when it came the bartender said I owed her over $25! I didn't realize "Double" meant that you get a flippin' 40oz'er of Dead Guy. Yeah, that beer lasted me a good chunk of the night, but it was damn good.
.
Yep. That Dead Guy Whiskey is pretty good. They also make a single malt that's made with their own homegrown malt in the Tygh Valley. It's ridiculously good.One of my absolute favorites. Not quite the best tasting but it just feels so right.
also, Rogue makes a Dead Guy whiskey out of the same 4 grains that are used to make Dead Guy Ale. I can't wait to try it...
