what are you drinking right now?

Bud Lite.

Tastes great, less filling.

For the masses!

Avery - the beast.... Not that great

Coors light. Been drinking since the beginning of the Rams game and I know I could pass the count sobriety tests. Pretty stupid paying 13.00 dollars for almost zero buzz.

People drink beers less than 10%?

Gonna pick up a 6er of Hopslam after work. Not as big as it used to be, but still a good beer.

My first Hopslam

 

[navamind]

Hopslam isn't the first beer I've had that people have said previous renditions were better about, I've heard that about the Alpine beers as well (specifically Hoppy Birthday and Duet). I never got to try those beers before Green Flash bought them, but I thought they were still very good. I thought Hopslam was a fantastic west coast style IPA that really hides the 10% alcohol. The more I read posts like yours, the more I wish I tried previous releases.

Sixpoint Dabble is pretty nice. A lot of tropical fruit going on.

Oh, no.... I'm not saying previous releases were better. I do not have the palate to be able to distinguish year over year releases that well, haha.

I was just saying that other breweries have "caught up" (and in some cases surpassed) to Hopslam, so the yearly release isn't really that big of deal. It used to be.

Been drinking my aged dark beers the last few weeks, Lagunitas Willetized Coffee Stout, also High West-ified Imperial Coffee Stout and the usual suspects, Founders Breakfast, Left Hand Hard Wired and Wake Up Dead.....Maine Beer Co must have upped their production, finding Lunch and Another One in abundance.....I have a 2014 Fuller's Vintage Ale on death row for this weekend....

I've been doing the same thing. Got it knocked down to about 145 beers, but I'm back up at 160, and I know I'm buying a handful this Saturday.

This brewery is not far from my house. They make some pretty good stuff, but primarily they're into IPA's. Glad to see them getting some wider distribution

Oh shit, thanks for reminding me.

That will be hitting here soon.

Any of you on the west coast ever get your hands on Pliny the younger or elder? I have some from my areas Ohio/Michigan I can trade.
