Doerfler Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 since you asked, I had 2 Budweiser's while fishing last Sunday afternoon. That's what was available, so that's what I drank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindaru Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I used to love Miller but it has been a long time ago. More into Twisted Tea these days or my home made wine spritzers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan_evett Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 when's the last time any of you drank a Bud, Miller or Coors, hahahahahahahaha? Bought a 12 pack of Coors back around the holidays. Had family in from out of town, so we stocked up a wee bit.. But I tend to mix it up anyway when stocking the basement 'fridge for the month. We'll pick up a six or twelve of craft IPA, the same for an amber or black ale. But that's almost always balanced by a healthy amount of my domestic favorite: Michelob Amber Bock. Starting drinking that brew on tap at a club in Denver, about 5 years ago; still quite taken by it.

clpete Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Lately I have been drinking 10 Barrels IPA Apocalypse or Deschutes Red Chair. My favorite IPA is Bonyards RPM brewed in Bend Or. You can find it on tap in nearly every club and restaurant in central Oregon. This is the local favorite. They are a small brewery and dont bottle their beer. There are now 29 breweries in the Bend area. You can find 30 taps, for growler fills, in some of Mini Gas Mart type stores. We play for free. We get paid to set up and tear down.

RudyS Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I had one of the most exclusives beers last weekend. It is called "Westvleteren" and is brewed by monks in Belgium. As the do not distribute the beer, and you are only allowed to pick up the beer at the brewery/monastary (one crate per 6 months) it is not widely spread. My local pub apparently had it, so I had to try. Tasted good, but I don't know if it was worth 2 times the price of the other Belgium beers...

I think it's about time those guys came out of the dark ages and distributed their ale like all the other Trappist breweries. Eesh. But do tell... how does it compare to, say, Chimay?

Threadslayer Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The Abbot of that monastery had this to say "We are not brewers. We are monks. We brew beer to be able to afford being monks." I could have used something similar as my motto once upon a time. "I'm not an engineer. I design electronics to be able to afford being a musician."

I think it's about time those guys came out of the dark ages and distributed their ale like all the other Trappist breweries. Eesh. But do tell... how does it compare to, say, Chimay? Well, it was a special beer. Quite unique and different from most of the Trappists. A bit sweet, but definitively not too much. Bit of bitter, but not too much either. It's really well balanced. I really enjoyed it, but it is really hard to describe beer, or compare it one to one:) The Abbot of that monastery had this to say "We are not brewers. We are monks. We brew beer to be able to afford being monks." I could have used something similar as my motto once upon a time. "I'm not an engineer. I design electronics to be able to afford being a musician." Could be, but I also thought: "those monks really know marketing". It reminded me to the Southpark episode where Cartman buys an (almost bankrupt) amusment park all for himself. No one can enter after he bought it. And of course, because of this, everybody wants to. Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doerfler Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I had the Pineapple Sculpin at my local music hangout recently and liked it far more than I expected (not generally down with the fruit beers)...then went to my grocery store to pick up a six and it was $15...ouch. just saw it on the shelf at $18.99 before tax, almost $21.00 for a six pack after tax. That's a no go for me, best beer or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a no go for me, best beer or not. It's weird. Some of their (Ballast Point) other excellent beers are nowhere near as expensive as Sculpin. I've also noticed around here that the price on tap varies greatly from one venue to another.
