God drat if that Sierra Nevada Hoptimum isn't one of my favorite IPAs. I typically ignored Sierra Nevada, but do they make anything else I should try?

Any of you guys have suggestions on a nice beer shop in San Francisco? I frequent Ales Unlimited, Healthy Spirits and if I *have* to The Jug Shop. Any other ones I should look out for?

I haven't tried many things by Deschutes, but goodness their Inversion IPA is one of the best IPAs that I've had in a while. I like it better than that Enjoy By 12/21/12 Sone that just came out.

How are you guys drinking your Westvleteren 12? I chilled mine for about 20 min in the fridge after sitting in my room for the whole day, and it's not too shabby. What do you guys (for those lucky enough to score one I guess) think of the beer? There has been a lot of talk about getting it, but no one is talking about drinking it.

poo poo man, I really want to enjoy 21st's beer because they're brewed locally here. But I've tried everything that that've ever released (that I found) and all of it has been subpar. I've tried Fireside Chat, Hop Crisis, Bitter American, Live Free, High Hell Watermelon, Back to Black and Allies Win. I'm never going to try one of their beers again.

So, I do not drink many dark beers. But because of the recent craze for the Westvleteren 12 I decided to venture out and drink some darker beers. I picked up a few bottles of Black Butte Porter, The Abyss, St. Bernardus Abt 12, St. Bernardus Abt 8, Three Philosophers and Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I like them all very much aside from the Three Philosophers (it's good but not as good compared to the rest). What else should I venture off into?

Does anybody have any suggestions or an FAQ on how to age beer? I recently acquired a few bottles that were supposedly very good aged. Also, does anybody have any suggestions on what beers I should age?

I guess I should consider myself very lucky since I got into the brewery with an one hour wait. I waited in additional hour to get a table to eat. I was able to pick up a growler of Blind Pig. I wanted to pick up on their Sours but the board on the wall stated that I couldn't get any sours in a growler.

So I'm sitting here, drinking what I believe is my first ever barleywine from Dogfish Head called Olde School. Since this is my first one, I'm not too sure if this is a good benchmark for a good barleywine. It's a bit too sweet for my tastes, but its so complex in terms of other flavors. Any suggestions on any other good barleywines?

Is anyone having trouble getting any Firestone Sucaba? I don't know about the rarity of the beer, but the few shops that I frequent tell me it's a bit hard to get. Although, I stumbled upon another shop today that had 3 cases of the stuff, anyone need any help getting some?

Hello fellow Goons! I'm going to be taking a road trip up north to Portland, what are some essential breweries that I should hit up? I don't know much about what that particular city can offer.

So I finally got my hands on some Bomb! by Prairie. It's been hyped up for me for a long time, and while it's *very* good, it didn't blow my mind away. I like Victory at Sea by Ballast Point more than this. Is there anything else out there like that?

I'm very tempted to pick up this Bourbon County Stout. I live in California so I never see these things on the shelves. Unfortunately, the shop that is selling it, is selling it for $20 a single bottle (not a bomber). I've paid for expensive beers (Bomb! for $15), but for some reason this urks me a bit.

Thanks guys for not letting me pick up that BCS for $20. I went to my local shop and they had some in stock for $6. Also picked up some The Abyss 14'.

I live in San Francisco and can't seem to get my hands on Founder's KBS. I can seem to get their other major releases but not the KBS. How much are they for a bottle typically? A rip off beer place has them in stock, but $10 a bottle... I don't know if I'm willing to pay that much.

Gotta try the KBS. I've had lots of good stouts and this one is one the the popular ones that I haven't tried. I've had many cans of Ten'Fidy. One of my favorites. Next to The Abyss.

Was able to finally get my hands on some Founder KBS. Picked up about 6 bottles. Meh, I should've probably tried one before I picked up so many bottles. While the beer is good, it's not up to the hype. I like their Breakfast Stout much better.

I have a wishlist of beers I want to try, I don't think it's anything that would be too hard to get inside of their respective cities. Basically stuff from the East Coast. I don't have anything super rare or even rare to trade for. How would I go about getting stuff like that? I'm looking for stuff like Hopslam, Heady Topper, Sip of Sunhine... stuff like that. I live on the West Coast, so the only stuff I can get that even "on that level" is Pliny, and everyone has tried Pliny.

mrcowcow posted:Where on the west coast? I'm sure you could find someone who would trade those beers for stuff you have access too. Heady and SoS don't demand as much as they used too. Hopslam came out in January, so it's done for the year at this point. San Francisco area. Any suggestions as to where I can go look for beer trades?

Huh. I've had a bunch of Rare Barrel stuff (friend is a member) and Cellarmaker is on my short to go list. I guess I'm a bit spoiled since these didn't even pop into my mind. Speaking of clubs, Rare Barrel and The Bruery both have clubs; what are good brewing companies have clubs similar to this?
