50 cents an oz is still cheap AF for world class beer though

Went to the Allagash Cellars tasting today at their brewery in Portland, Maine. Allagash White was inspired by Pierre Celis’ beer by the owner and founder of Allagash who went back to Maine after tasting in Austin inspired to make Belgian style beers. Allagash White comprises of of 87 percent of the revenue of Allagash Brewery which is currently the 20th largest craft brewer in the country.

Allagash White is delicious, their other Belgian style beers are very good as well.  And I absolutely love Portland, Maine.

If you love it so much why don’t you marry it?

If you're still in Portland, I recommend finding Geary's Brewing Co. They are near Alagash.

 

Fun town, I need to go back soon.

Made a quick trip to Denver for work recently and on my way back to the airport I stopped in a bottle shop. No whiskeys worth purchasing, but these were

Belgian IPA?  Negged.

Duvel, imo.

Duvel, imo.

One of the good Belgian IPAs!

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

Exactly how I want an IPA anymore. A little cloudy, but all that West Coast pine and weed

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

Minnesota Hockey Beer--- brought some back from my recent Canada trip-

When I was like 18 that was considered a delicacy as it was only available in Minnesota (despite being an AB product). It’s now available throughout the Midwest, but I almost never drink it unless I’m in Minnesota

[HenryJames 66052]

Pecan Porter, imo.

[HenryJames 66052]

Celis, imo.

[stc 1462]

i thought we all agreed that celis is disgusting

Agreed.  Wife and I are going to the OG tap room in Cedar Falls next Friday.  They always have something fun in there.

We drove up from Illinois- fished in Ontario.  Took Yuengling with us, and picked up some LaBatt's Blue for the camp.  Beer in Canada is expensive!  Left an 18 pack of Yuengling with our seaplane pilot- he was happy, as were the ladies in the office.  They like beer.

Grabbed some MGL and Spotted Cow in Wiscy at Target on the way back down.  Still can't decide if MGL is really Mic Ultra or Utra Gold in a different can...

Really is God's Country up there.  Lotta fishermen on this board- Texas lakes and Gulf Coast- that would love to catch smallies, walleye, pike and muskie.  Just need to do it.  You can't beat the weather, or, the scenery.

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

Good Bloody, good beer.

[Al_4_ISU 12463]

More good beer

Can’t remember if I mentioned it here but I hit clock house for the first time a few weeks back and everything about that place works for me.

Clock House is legit. I’m still a Lionbridge fanboy, but I will definitely Stan for Clock House.

It is so choice.  If you have the means, I highly recommend picking some up.

i’ve picked up about a case and a half already this year.

[HenryJames 66052]

Hopfields has it on draft, and they’ll let you order a liter.

[Incredulity 11672]

[utee94 15823]

It comes in liters?

 

 

[ztejas 43449]

This is fucking terrible. In case anyone was wondering. Should have done the cursory beeradvocate search - but apparently they have it as an 85.

This is the 2nd such abomination like this I've come across. The other was the New Belgium fruit punch IPA. I read IPA and see high ABV and think "eh, I'll give it a shot". 

Be warned. They're pouring disgusting, canned cocktail crap into cans and calling it beer now. 

[HenryJames 66052]

This was not terrible.

[Hornius Emeritus 12462]

I am very much enjoying this product from Singlespeed brewing company. Tip the Cow cocoa espresso milk stout. Like drinking a German chocolate cake. Very different from any other stout or Porter that I've ever had, even Real Ales coffee Porter.

[Hornius Emeritus 12462]

Next up is this peace tree brewing company Blonde Fatale Belgian style blonde ale. It's pretty non-descript, actually. Nothing remarkable. But it is 8.8% alcohol, so it has that going for it.

Polanco

Oaktoberfest, imo.
