The beer thread

[Hard Ball Get]

I went to the pub last night with some mates and had a session of Carlton Draught. That stuff is pure poison.

Suffering for it today

To contrast that, just downed one of these...

Massive beer! I’ve bought myself a four pack of Jedi to watch the game with tonight. Just warming up with a Hawkers XPA.

Yeah it's a ripper. Had the Hawkers West Coast IPA the other day. Was great.

Reckon the Simpsons creators might have a case.

I’m sure whoever it is would love a case of it.

They sure would.

It's not the same image though. Resemblance is undoubtedly There, but I don't think they'd be in strife. Either way, great beer. IIPAs are terrific.

As you say, undoubtedly there.
When I saw the pic I certainly thought straight to the Simpsons. And I don’t think I’ve seen an episode for four years.

I’m hitting a big fat can of Pirate Mosaic IPA right now. It’s a great way to unwind after a big week.

Certainly the weather for it. I need something with some kick tonight. As I get older I’m finding it harder to get through the week. Can barely walk at the moment.

I don’t mind Bad Shepherd, the Stout is also very good.

Their smash IPA is decent too.

Have you tried Exit? They do a decent IPA.

Yeah had a few of theirs, not bad.

I'm sampling a beer named Boatswain {Bos'n} Double IPA Twin Screw Steamer. I got it from my local Trader Joe's here in Winston-Salem.

I bought it for the name, plus the price ($4.99 for a 6-pack). It is brewed in Wisconsin, but is a bit weak on the upper palate for an IPA.

However at 8.4% proof and at the price I'll continue my sampling.

PS The more I drink the better it tastes. [That could be an epitaph, but so far, so good...].

Having a craic at a Murphy's Irish stout
Very smooth
Could destroy a large number of these happily

Neat piece on pubs' tap contracts.

I went back to Trader Joe's today and got another Boatswain's 6 pack - but this one was HLV Heavy Lift Vessel. 7% alcohol, which I prefer to 8.4%.

Some of these boutique/craft beers are way too high on alcohol %. Past a certain % I'd rather have a G&T.

Unless getting wiped out is the aim. In which case y'all go for One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer.

This is brewed about ten minutes from my house.
