Visited Meuse Brewing the other day and started with the Chévere - Belgian Stout w/ Coffee. Lovely beer and the coffee was balanced nicely.

Enjoying a Shacklands 668-NEIGHBOUR OF THE BEAST. It's an homage to GLB Devils Pale Ale and it's tasting great.

Boneshaker is the one I go to for this style, on a semi regular basis.

It's out now.

I had a couple cans of Lagunitas the other night. They tasted great and had that pine taste.

Thanks for the update. I had one bottle left from the last release, but now I can stock up.

I would have to with Great Lakes Burst. It's a good tasting pale ale at only 4.5%. After that, I'd go with Bitburger; I feel there's quite a few European lagers that would fit the first three criteria and that provide good value. Oh, and Kostritzer Schwarzbier is another fave.

I picked up a couple of bottles of the 3F Intens Rood. Also noticed an Ontario classic back on the shelves (or perhaps i just haven't noticed it) in the form of Saint Andre Vienna Lager, though now called Bohemian Lager.

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't bought much black oak lately, but always enjoyed the release of their nutcracker porter, and their 10 bitter years was amazing at the time it first came out. Hope Ken finds success in this new chapter.

Enjoying a couple of Mascot Pilly's with my partner. Didn't check the brewed on dates and from what I can tell there's about a 6 month difference. They also noticeably look different:
It a really good beer when fresh, still decent when not.

Here's the email: Sent in partnership with Sierra Nevada Now in its fifth decade on shelves, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale has a timeless grip on taste buds, edging out serious brewing talent for readers’ choice accolades like “Favorite Pale Ale Brewer.” And to think it all started, says founder Ken Grossm...

Great thread, motivated me to look on the shelves. My oldest is a 750ml of Chimay blue from 2006 followed by a couple of 2007 and 2008 Thomas Hardy ales. Also have a magnum (or 1.5l) of Chimay Blue 2013.

I drank all my Fuller Vintage ales last year - they ranged from 2007-2012.

I was just reading in an email from Stan Hieronymus that the USDA reported a record year for hop production in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. His updates get quite in depth at times, but it truly is an insightful look into the world of hops. You can join his mailing list at https://appellationbeer.co...

Its still a favorite of mine. I picked up a few cases! I'm currently enjoying a GLB Apocalypse Now which is like an amped up version of 666.

I just noticed this beer and bought a few. Does it taste comparable to anything else you've had? I have yet to drink one.
