Need to find a good pumpkin brew this time of year. Would really like to try one.

I am not a Sam Adams fan either.

 

[PreMier]

there are a lot of micro breweries here that make pumpkin hefenweisen brews here.

i LOVE guinness.. but i would have to say my alltime favorite beer is Peroni

 

[tucker01]

Pumpkin wheat beer.... hmm interesting. I love Wheat beers in the summer.

Italian Beer? never would have thought of it.

 

[PreMier]

you should try it, its the bomb.

 

[tucker01]

What is it a lager?

 

[PreMier]

yea, its a lager.. but it doesnt have a beer aftertaste, its hard to explain

 

[NordicNacho]

What is it a lager?

lager means botton fermented uses a different type of yeast then ales which use a top fermenting yeast. Lagers take longer cause they are brewed at a much colder temp the ales. Most Micro brews are ales they are a lot faster to make and can be brewed around 70

Bud, Miller, Coors are all lagers

Its a German Czech thing

Ales belguim, England

Bigfoot is out

This beer will put your dick in the dirt

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale

Redhook!

They used to make a Double Black Stout that was brewed with Starbucks coffee, had it at the Portsmouth Brewery, pretty good. I like their ESB as well.

I've been trying to get an internship at New Belgium and those Guys that run that place are crazy cool dudes. They are the definition of beer hippies, plus they make awesome beer.

They make Fat Tire, don't they? I love Fat Tire.

I like Sammy Octoberfest, but I wouldn't call it a Pumpkin Beer. Dogfish Head Punkin ale and Harvest Moon are pretty good, punkin being superior but also a lot more expensive. If you are looking for a deep Pumpkin taste, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin has that taste according to my roommates, I didn't try it, though. I have had Post Road's offering multiple times and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Harpoon's Winter Warmer tastes pretty much like a pumpin ale as well, don;t know why they call it a winter warmer.

Agreed, It is particuarly good. Also on lager: Asahi

Hacker-Pschorr Octoberfest

 

[ZECH]

Damn I love an Octoberfest!

 

[ZECH]

OMFG!!!! It's autumn so i thought I'd try a Samual Adam's Octoberfest beer........




it tastes like fermented pumpkins that someone dug out of a compost heap. it is absolutely disgusting. the end notes of it truly taste like rotted something.

I absolutely love it. One of my favorites!

 

[Little Wing]

I absolutely love it. One of my favorites!

the second bottle wasn't as bad, the third was ok....

 

[Uthinkso]

the second bottle wasn't as bad, the third was ok....

...and by the sixth it didn't matter?

 

[Dale Mabry]

I anticipate Sammy Octoberfest every year, then by about week 2, I have moved on.

 

[Little Wing]

...and by the sixth it didn't matter?

the last few are still in the fridge

 

[Pound for Pound]

I'm having one of these right now:

Yeah, the ESB is my favorite. Blackhook is good too. Yeah, they have a brewery in Portmouth, but I've only been to the one in Seattle.

 

[fufu]

Yes.

btw, where have you been?

 

[KelJu]

I had about 5 glasses of Octoberfest tonight, got hammered, and the talk to a lot of people and random hoes. I enjoyed the beer and the atmosphere at the brewery. I will probably go back next weekend.

 

[tucker01]

The important question is did you bang any of those random hoes.

My game needs refinement. I'm getting better, but I usually run out of steam with a chick at about the 30 to 45 minute mark. When the conversation gets stale I usually bail and go talk to somebody else.

I'm slightly pissed about one chick that looked cute from across the brewery. I kept noticing her checking me out and smiling at me, so I walked over to her table and sat down with her and her friends. She wouldn't say much but smiled at everything I said. When I finally got her to say something, I saw that much of her front grill was rotting out. Son of bitch! I've got to get the hell out of Alabama.

I'm sorry!

 

[NordicNacho]

[danzik17]

Colt 45 and two zig zags, baby thats all we neeeeed



What is a good beer for a "noob" beer drinker?

Honey Brown. Like it sounds, it's a sweeter beer than most - easier to get used to the taste than with a more bitter beer, at least it was for me.

 

[danzik17]

Kilians, Guiness, Heineken Dark Lager, and the stuff my brother ferments at home - one of the darkest beers I have ever had.

 

[FishOrCutBait]

Newcastle Brown Ale is delicious also.
