Beer

Before anyone begins making allegations, the Beer thread was not deleted on purpose.

While cleaning up old off-topic threads I inadvertently missed excluding that one. As a way to make up for it, I've reinstated the rep points.

  • I am enjoying a Paulaner Salvator Double Bock with my dinner this evening. I also picked up the Shiner Black, a Three Philosophers and the Ommegang Abby Ale called Hennepin. Those were the only two Ommegang products they had, the guy said they used to get the Trappist ale in but stopped for some reason. He said he would try to get some more in.

    I probably won't touch more than the Double Bock tonight. It is very good and I can see how if this is what you were expecting Shiner Bock would be a let down, but it is not fair to compare a single bock to a double or tripple bock, now is it? I will continue to look for a single bock from a highly reputable brewery to compare to Shiner.

    BTW, I was hoping to find the Dogfish 120 minute to give it a whirl, but $9.00 for 12 oz ! ! ! By the time I found it I already had a good load of beer and whiskey so . . . next time I will grudgingly fork over $9.00 for 4 of the 90 minute and see if their claim of "best IPA in America" is valid. If it is I might try the 120.

    Now I have to get to the Whiskey thread because. . .

    WHISKEY IS BETTER THAN MOST THINGS ! ! !
