Wow, and I thought Boston was bad for beer pricing. $4 Stone IPAs are most certainly GO.

Damn your country's manipulative trade agreements.

Winter Beer Time!!!

What do you folks like for all this cold, dark bullshit?

judasmuppet · Post by **judasmuppet** » 08 Nov 2006, 23:26

I haven't really tasted a good christmas beer yet. Just strong Danish ones.
I'll see if I can rectify the situation this season.

I can't believe they have the balls to call that stuff "lambic".

Those guys are actually giving in at this point and brewing some higher quality beers... but yeah... what the fuck people... why did you even come to a beer fest?

the first year it was almost drinkable..

it just keeps getting worse and worse..

we save them all to make 12 packs of just the lambic and bring them to peoples houses..

haha... sweet.

They have that homebrew contest stuff coming out soon don't they?

floodmatt · Post by **floodmatt** » 10 Nov 2006, 16:43

yeah..

dude from the cape was one of the winners..

looking forward to trying his shit..
he's won a ton of national home brew contests..

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 10 Nov 2006, 19:01

He should probably trying brewing them himself rather than giving them away to Sam Adams...

Rumor has it the SA winter lager is weeeeaaaaaak this year.

Harpoon Winter has simply always sucked. It's a beer, not go goddamned pumpkin pie... or it's should be anyway.

Oh man, those tickets were 23.00

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 11 Nov 2006, 21:31

Bought myself a dozen of these yesterday. I'm going to give them a bit of "what for" tonight.

Jeff,

I dont remember if this one was mentioned...
but they had one of my favorite booths at the beer fest..

http://www.opaopasteakhousebrewery.com/

somewhat close to you..

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 21 Nov 2006, 11:24

That place has been running all sorts of TV ads around here... apparently they just started distributing their stuff in growlers, I've seen it around at some places, and on tap at some bars as well... I'll have to give it a try. Which one should I look for?

floodmatt · Post by **floodmatt** » 21 Nov 2006, 11:31

i was pretty hammered.. so i really dont know which one to try.. all i remember is that i went back to their booth quite a few times..

a few of them have won awards.. so try whichever ones those are..
i think the site has some of that info..

floodmatt · Post by **floodmatt** » 21 Nov 2006, 11:33

actually.. the porter..

its all coming back to me now..

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 23 Nov 2006, 10:35

My family is taking over this place on saturday... not sure which I wanna brew... it's five cases of beer, so either something I can drink quickly or something strong enough to age for a couple years...

judasmuppet · Post by **judasmuppet** » 17 Jan 2007, 15:02

Recently had a blue Chimay for the first time. Crikey that's a good brew for 9%.
