Beer (and beer pics!)

I was pleasantly surprised, or even shocked, at how good the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Tropical IPA is. Seriously, one of the most delicious IPAs I've tasted. The sweeter fruit notes balance the bitterness of the hops to perfection, IMO.

I started to grab some yesterday but opted for Enjoy By 2.14.16. I will go as far to say that this Enjoy By is on Heady's level.

Anybody ever been to Brazil? Going soon. I know they have beers like Brahma but wanted some darker beers there too (I know their selection will be much lower than ours)

Xingu is darker. I've had it a couple of times. Nothing to write home about, but it's not too bad.

Had a Bourbon Barrel Aged Country Roots by Tennessee Brew Works last night, it tasted more like a sour or a Flanders Red than a BBA beer. Not too bad at all. They had it at Hurry Back.

Pineapple Sculpin!

 

[Orangesmokey]

Kappin have you tried any of the Hutton and Smith stuff from here in town?

They have some really good IPA. They have a red rye IPA on tap at U-Joint that is really good.

Pineapple Sculpin!

Ooh lala... How was that? The grapefruit sculpin is one of my favorites.

Know it's more of a bigger brand but anyone tried Founders All Day IPA session ale? It's very good. Maybe my new everyday beer.

Try the Founders Azacca IPA. Reaaaaally good!

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Never thought I'd be an IPA guy but DFH 90 IPA converted me and now I have to try them all.

It is pretty awesome. It isn't a sweet as the grapefruit version but the pineapple nose is big on this one.

Got my hands on a Bacon Smoked Porter from Sweet Water Brewing. I'll report back once I throw it back. Probably save it for the weekend.

Just got a 6 pack of Bell's Hopslam. Don't know much about it, but I got a notice of limited distribution from my local store. Tried a sip when I picked it up and, I am looking forward to drinking it this weekend.

Grabbed a six of Hopslam yesterday too, and a couple four packs of Bigfoot.

Oh my lord, the Hopslam is fantastic. I'm actually drinking on one of mine right now and am loving it. It comes in hop forward and then finishes off in the mid to back palate with some citrus and sweetness.

 

[VolGee4]

Hopslam is fantastic. One of the best IPA's that I have had. Nice blend of sweet and hops.

Had azacca today. It's not too shabby. I like all day ipa better but this is definitely going on my list. Says it's only 7% but it hit me harder than that.

I tried it last week with 3 other "dessert" beers and thought it and Blue Pants' Double Stuff were the best. I ended up buying the Double Stuff.

Haven't had the BP double stuffed yet......the brewery is right here, so I probably should drop by there and try it
