That (fruit beer) sounds down right disgusting....if not a tad ghey.

Tomorrow night, we're doing a Beef and Guinness stew.....anybody care to bet how much Guinness makes it into the pot?

Have you had Lindeman's Frambiose? That stuff is nice, but not really like beer.

I have not tried that. I'll try just about any beer though.

Picked up some Harpoon double IPA today...a brand new offering from Harpoon as part of their Leviathian series.

Can't wait to try this.

In Quebec City Right now..... had some Cheval Blanche.... ok Wheat Beer.

**Dale Mabry** · 10-08-2008, 01:50 PM

I've got an American Pale Ale homebrewing right now. I will probably get it bottled sometime this weekend. Smells heavenly!

IronAddict · 10-08-2008, 03:34 PM

Yeah I love to sample new beers all the time. If, i see 1 I haven't tried yet I'll buy it. You guy's have posted beers I haven't even heard of. Guess I'll have to do a little more drinkin. Just tried Blond Bombshell, it was pretty damn good! Now when I go into some of these micro breweries, and say, " I'll have a blond". The waitresses always acts surprised. I get a kick out of it everytime.

Homebrew is nice.

**I Are Baboon** · 10-09-2008, 08:04 AM

A friend of mine gave me a Mr Beer kit. It's like the EZ bake oven of homebrewing. But since it was a gift I decided to try it.

Batch one (pale ale) was absolute swill that I had to dump. Batch two (an Oktoberfest) will be ready to drink this weekend. After the utter failure that was batch one, I'm not holding my breath on batch two.

Phil, try this is you want to make some. This is a shop in Charlotte where I get my supplies. The guy has been around beer and wine making for years and knows his stuff.

Some of my beer that I have made, has been better than many bought beers. I usually make beers such as Pale ales, brown ales and octoberfests. Can't beat them. I recently found some that I made in 93/94 stuck away in my bar in my basement when I moved in and forgot about. That beer was the smoothest I have ever tasted.

I was debating stepping up to a real homebrew kit if the little Mr Beer experiment went well. From what I've seen, a decent starter kit will run about $100, and one batch will be twice the size and less expensive than a Mr Beer batch. I'll see how the rest of my beer turns out before deciding. So far...

Pale Ale: Failure
Oktoberfest: Just about ready to drink
Espresso Stout: Conditioning, will be ready in two weeks
Tripel: Fermenting, will be ready in May (six month lager time)
Cranberry Maibock: On deck.

**dg806** · 10-10-2008, 03:22 PM

Yeah a good two stage kit with glass carboys and such will run about $150. But WELL worth it. Makes 5 gallons. That is quite a lot.

Anybody tried the Pizza Flavored beer yet?
