what are you drinking right now?

[Jerry_L]

I have selected Harpoon as my primary Octoberfest this year. There are other good choices, imported and domestic, and I've tried just about all that are available in my area. Get it while you can, they'll likely be stocking little more than Winter & Xmas seasonals by the time October is actually here.

I don't think this is as bad as many reviewers say. Pumpkin Ale is tricky

No matter what you are drinking, when it's wine, think about this:

White Horse scotch, neat. A very nice blend. Did a blind taste test with Johnnie Walker Black, and while it was easy to tell the difference (there's a creaminess to the White Horse that's not in the JWB), I am preferring the far less expensive Horse.

At least for right now. YMMV.

I didn't know it was available again. It disappeared a few years ago. Where do you get it?

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron - Can't drink this too often, but at 12%, if this doesn't blow your hair back, nothing will!

[Blue Train]

Have you tried their World Wide Stout or 120 Minute IPA? They're 15-20% ABV., depending on the year.

For tonight's game(s) and movies....

I'll look for those, BT. I ought to be able to find them here in Delaware. I've also got a Storm King chilling, but I won't get to it tonight.

ROTFLMAO!

I laughed for ten minutes when I saw this! :-D

Since they're limited release beers it should be a lot easier to find them in Delaware. Try to find any bottles that were bottled from previous years if possible. They're brewed to improve with age. The sweet spot so to speak for the WWS is @ 18% ABV.

Also, like the 60 and 90 minute....the 120 also represents the IBU amount as well as the time it was boiled/hopped. Though the high ABV keeps it from being that bitter.

North Coast Old Stock Ale 2013 - 11.9 % ABV - I like this even more than the Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. Old Ale is my favorite style. What a flavor! The alcohol is far less present than you might expect at this strength.

I thought those numbers were just boil times. That is rather high IBU for my palate, but I'll give them a try.

I must get a few more of this year's Old Stock to cellar....

(Fort Bragg, CA) – North Coast Brewing has announced the much anticipated release of its 2013 vintage Old Stock Ale. Since it sprang onto the beer scene in 2000 with the award of a Platinum medal at the World Beer Championships, Old Stock has won two Great American Beer Fest medals as well as additional WBC medals.

Brewed in the classic English old ale tradition, the Old Stock recipe includes Maris-Otter malts, Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops and delivers a very friendly 11.9% ABV. The brew’s loyal fan base has learned that the beer cellars beautifully and can be laid down, literally for years, with the rich, winey flavors becoming softer and even more seductive with age.

“I think this is one of the finest beers we produce,” said Mark Ruedrich, North Coast’s Brewmaster. “It has an elegance that transcends the usual expectations of beer. We’re quite proud of it.”
