You Will Drink Good BEER ... And It Will Be Delicious!

[Electromatic]

Cracking open one of my Trader Joes 2012 vintage, saving the other ones until after they age for a year or so.

I enjoyed the 2011 hope the 2012 is just as good.

About to try Ommegangs Iron Throne. Geek heaven.

[Self]

Gonna throw back a few Founders Centennial IPAs. Just because.

That particular beer has way too much raspberry for my taste and it always tasted like they use an extract instead of fruit.]

This. It tastes like they poured raspberry syrup in their normal hef.

Guys, Three Floyds' Dark Lord Day is April 27th. Tickets go on sale this Sunday. If you're within driving distance, I strongly recommend going to this to pick up Dark Lord (probably one of the best beers in the world).

I've got an Enjoy by IPA and a growler full of 60 Min. lined up for tonight. It's been a stressful fucking week and I plan on drowning myself in hops.

I know Hefeweizens and fruity beer are generally frowned upon, but this really hit the spot with the warmer weather this past weekend

That beer is awful. Way too fucking sweet.

Raspberry beer ???
Ew, yeah.. I dunno about that.

There's nothing wrong at all with a good hefeweizen or even a raspberry beer if the fruit isn't over the top. That particular beer has way too much raspberry for my taste and it always tasted like they use an extract instead of fruit. Raspberry shouldn't be really sweet in a beer it should actually add a bit of flavor and tartness to it. It can actually give a nice balance to a roasty porter.

I'm not sure if you just had a bad batch, but this was pretty tart.

Maybe they tweaked the recipe but I had this a few times a year ago and had the same experience as vegman.

I only had it once or twice so maybe, but I definitely wouldn't call it tart. Their regular hefe, on the other hand, is pretty decent IMO.

This years National IPA Champiionship so far and our new, local nanobrewery beat out Founders Centennial! Nice job guys.

Shit, I know it's all subjective but we beat out Racer 5 too.

This seems like the thread for this question: does anyone live near the Dogfish Head brewery, or is anyone planning on going there anytime soon?

I was loving my Single Wide IPA, but drank the last one last night?

No, but I have a Noble Rot aging in my collection that I'm having a hard time resisting...
