Y'know..even though I don't drink..i still find this thread fascinating.
I guess I'm a bit of an armchair foodie, so it's cool to hear about all the many variations on the 'beer' theme that are available.

Oh, you wouldn't believe. People who aren't into craft beer are often shocked to hear how much variation there is.

The last BJCP guidelines that came out list 78 defined subcategories of beer, plus a miscellany category.

EDIT::: sorry, BJCP is "Beer Judge Certification Program". They're basically the "authority" when it comes to defining styles of beer.

On Friday I get to go here:



http://www.mybeersoftheworld.com/specials.html

It's becoming a tradition when I go home (to upstate NY) to drop by there on the way back from the airport.



Not sure what I will be picking up as of yet, but it's a nice store to browse around in to say the least.

Oooh - niiiiiiiiiiice! Beers of the World sounds awesome.

On the beer tip, I tried the Ten Fidy Imperial Stout from Oskar Blues this past week, and was not disappointed. You want dark beer? HERE'S a dark damn beer! So yummy... and there's two more in the fridge, just taunting me. I can hear them calling...

BOTW is truly amazing.


I look at those damn Oskar cans every time I'm at the store.

I have yet to shell out the $10 for a sixer even though I hear good things. Hrrmmm.

Yeah, it seems like a lot, but I can only handle one can of those a night because of the higher alcohol content (and because I'm a "cheap date" aka wuss), and the fact that they are HEAVY AS HELL so they usually last me long enough.

They are 100% delicious. I consider it a worthy investment.

My favorite is Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Can't get enough of that stuff. They also have a Double Dead Guy, which is equally as impressive. But that one usually puts me on the floor after one glass.

You'd think I'd be more of a Bell's fan given my location, but I'm not a big fan of Oberon. They have a lot of other great stuff that I enjoy though (they have a seasonal called "Hell Hath No Fury" which is AWESOME), that you can get only at their Eccentric Cafe.

merged!

For a bigger better beer thread!

I have about one beer a week tops...BUT, I'm still digging Blue Moon (Pale Moon), and Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale.

I just tapped a 1/6th of Long Trail's Double Bag Ale in my kegerator. Fantastic!!!

Yeah don't fuck with my original SHIIITTT. I shall devour all other beer threadz.

And OBM... where is it that you live, exactly? I'm in Ann Arbor, and we get all sorts of great Bell's stuff over here... including Hell Hath No Fury. We get it in a sex-pack every once in a while.

HOPSLAM is still my favourite.

CBA, I live in Kalamazoo, about five miles from the Eccentric Cafe. That's cool that you can get it out there; I didn't know that they started bottling a lot of the other stuff.

The only one I really didn't like what I got there was when I got an Uberon. It's Oberon that's barrel-aged in brandy casks. Definitely a sipping beer that you really need to be in the mood for.
