mighty meadow Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Been working quite a lot over Christmas and New Year so not been drinking a lot. Still getting through my German wheat beer advent calendar that the mrs got me from Groupon. Not had a bad one yet from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Boy at work gave me some beers he had no intentions of drinking. Having a Brewdog Dead Pony Club. Not a Brewdog fan myself and this hasn't helped changed that. Alright enough pale ale but fairly average and a bit watery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier (5.2%) Smells like a combination of Arbroath (that's maybe a bit niche but anyone who's been there kens) and TCP but with a wheaty backbone. Has an almost coppery tang on the tongue and bonfire smoke in your nose as you exhale. Not the usual thing I'd go for but cracking selection in the pot still so went for something leftfield. A nice change. Definitely worth trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 If I'm at home I like a craft beer. My local shop and also the local offie have an incredible selection. However, I rarely stray from Stella if in the boozer for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Was on this in the Vale last night. Great stuff. Tastes like freshly brewed dark roast coffee. Also not overly sweet like a lot of those types can be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbes20silkcut Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Bought some Tartan Special for later. Good man. It's a nice ale, good to have it back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 There's a pub nearby that has a happy hour special with all domestic draft beers for 3 dollars and Belgians for 5. Sampled a few last week, including a mint chocolate stout. Currently on Goose Island's Festivity brown ale. Despite the sketchy name, it tastes similar to the dunkel or dark beer variety of Germany and the Czech Republic. It's excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Usher's Mint Choc Stout in Edinburgh last week, really nice beer. Also had De Molen - Rasputin, 11.4%, dark fruits, slight smokiness, tasted like a combination of old rum butter caramels and pineapple chunks...fab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Moriarty's pub in Philadephia. Also had Founders' All-Day IPA (decent, nothing special) and Russian River's Belgian-style ale, which was a reasonable attempt at the originals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading back to Edinburgh for the Hibs game on Wed, hoping to have a few in the Guilford Arms, Jeremiah's Taproom and The Windsor en-route to Easter Road with your favourite FCUM supporting, Exiles teammate Davie McArthur. Should I pass on your regards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The rum finished i & g is 1.20 in the co-op along with a few others reduced to clear including Bitter & Twisted and Dark Island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 What's your favourite? Genos/Pats/Tony Lukes? Was recommended a smaller place called Cosmos deli a few blocks south of the Cheesesteak zone, it was very good and definitely better value. Haven't tried the others for taste though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Tried a few more new beers in Philly, the first one being, erm, Innis and Gunn's Irish Whisk(e)y Aged Stout on draft. For $3 in the happy hour and one that I hadn't tried before it was an obvious choice, I was surprised to see it available at all. It's very good but the rum finish version remains my personal preference. Also had a Goose Island pilsner, which seemed more like an IPA and was okay, and their Brown Ale, which was a less tasty version of their Festivity variety. For novelty value tried a blood orange IPA which was okay. Currently based in Pittsburgh about fifteen minutes walk from the Penn Brewery, which produces quite a few German-style beers - my pick is their seasonal Marzen beer - which are all good but none of them outstanding. Similar to West's range with the exception of the Munich Red IMO. One issue that I didn't notice in my previous travels is some distinctly dodgy bartending - quite a few pints are served with almost no head or, on occasion, completely dead straight out of the cask. This makes ordering pilsners and IPAs a risky business, so I've been drifting towards darker beers that aren't completely ruined by either dreadful storage or service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
