THIS THREAD NEEDS BUMPING!!!!

This past weekend, I had some great beers while in Raleigh. Took some pix, which I'll upload later, but first off I figured I'd just list 'em while I could remember 'em.

Mother Earth - I'm sure that I had a Kölsch, but I can't find it on their site. Maybe it was a draft-only local thing? Or maybe I'm just hallucinating. Anyhow, had SOMETHING of theirs that was on the light & bright side with lunch, and it was tasty. Followed it up with their Dark Cloud Dunkel, which was mild & smooth. Another nice lunch beer.

New Belgium Fat Tire! Yay! Had a bunch of these, both on tap and from the can. Those on tap were SUPER tasty, but the can was certainly a good mid-afternoon beer. It's been literally over a decade since I last had Fat Tire, and it was good to see that it's still delicious.

Warsteiner Dunkel - pretty damned tasty, dark & just rich enough. And they served it in a big-ass Warsteiner stein. Extra points for awesome drinkware.

Olde Hickory Southern Belle - Belgian-style Farmhouse Ale aged in Chardonnay barrels. I can't remember what it was paired with (fish tacos, I think), but it was a perfect match.

New Belgium Lips of Faith Tart Lychee - my first sour beer! Hooray for me! It was quite delicious, but then, I like lychee. And it pretty much tasted like lychee.

Leifman's Goudenband - my second sour beer! Even more hooray! This was pretty awesome - dark, I think aged in oak. I had it for dessert, paired with a little sweet potato cheesecake. Super delicious.

Reissdorf Kölsch - had it a couple of times on tap. Nothing crazy, but certainly worked as a lunch beer.

Fullsteam Carver Sweet Potato lager - pretty nice. Not too sweet, but definitely more full bodied than the average lager. But I had this at a show, so I was a bit distracted by the goings-on onstage.

And obviously there were others, and repeats, but this is what I can remember off the top of my head. I may have had the Mother Earth Wit as well... I dunno...

I had Fat Tire for the first time myself the other day, both draught and in bottles. While it is very good bottled, I really enjoyed it on tap (probably helped by the fact that I was having a really good meal at the time).

We had a Sour weekend at the bar I work at. Duchess, Monke's Cafe, Petrus, Oarsman, Bucchus, to name a few. I love me some sours.

Going to brew for the first time this weekend, been pouring the brews for too long.

1,000th POST in THE BEER THREAD! Fitting that I would get to make it.


I'm working my way through a Sierra Nevada Beer Camp. Nothing mind-blowing, but I really like the Imperial Red... it's rare that I get to drink any Red Ales at all.

Also have some Punkin', but I'm saving that for closer to Halloween... we always run out like a month before.

What else... oh, this is exclusive to Michigan, but Saugatuck Brewing Company's Continuum IPA is a great Imperial IPA.

Props for drinking a real Kölsch!
(It's actually a regional denominator, it has to be brewed here to be real)
Even if that one is among the worst. Certainly Kölsch is more of an accompanying beer or just to get drunk on but not this kind of beer:

Been craving an Amber since it started getting colder this past week. It's been too long since i've had my last Fat Tire.

The only thing I hate more than Summer is the beer selection in the Summer. Also the Spring. Fuck that shit.

Fall beer is decent, but I dislike the Fall itself.

We need to get back to Winter. Every other season sucks.

Yup. Believe you me, that's about all I was looking for at the time. And it worked! Good times!

Flying Dog Dogtoberfest - Marzen. Very nice and smooth. A little darker than the marzen's I'm used to, but it's got a nice malty character with a bit of bite.

Berkshire Brewing Co. Oktoberfest on tap. It was mighty fine, but we had the kiddo with us, so I couldn't really focus on the beer.
