Beer...does Damook Good

Gotta love that Flor de Caña.... I knew you had excellent taste. Bavaria Dark when in CR is primo as well.

 

Heineken does a great job with the mini-kep mechanism. Wish some of the German mini-kegs adopted the Heineken approach... so much for German engineering (the Bavarian beer is still great!).

 

I've had some of the best tasting Heineken out of those mini-kegs!

 

120 is awesome IF you let it sit for a couple of years. Drinking it fresh can be tough on the palette. Make it your last beer of the night. Even better is World Wide Stout. I cracked a bottle from '02 last year and it was amazing. Very little carbonation but still retained a lot of flavor. Could barely taste the booze as well.

 

Agreed. The best hands down.

 

I bought a few bottles back in 1999 when they first brewed it for the Millenium and never opened them. A few years later i asked Sam how long they would keep and he said basically at 18% alcohol they will just get better with age. I finally cracked one open last year and it was soooo smooth and tasty. 10 year old beer and epic!

 

#1 worst beer i have ever had. hands down. top 5: dos equis, sol, imperial, Corona, Budweiser heavy. top 3 to rage: coorslight, high life, keith stone..duh.

 

You should exclude Sol... That piss beer has like 3.8 % alcohol. Even the official sh** in TJ. It takes a 12 pack to even get a buzz.... tasty but weak like 7 days!

 

Asahi is good, but very hard to find. I finally found an asian store that sells it by the 6-pack. Some good stuff are:

American Microbrew: Southern Tier
Imports: Hoegaarden, Spaten
Go-to beer: Yueng Ling

That reminds me, I got some Newcastle in the fridge... yum

 

See my previous post about 2 pages back.... This bad boy is sitting in my fridge right now right next to the Heinekin Mini.... Doesn't get much better than that.... Everytime i open my fridge, its like christmas... I get teary eyed just thinking about these little bastards!

 

I dont know if they carry any of this back east, but this is a local micro-brewer (Karl Strauss). They make sick beer.

I added this to my bar yesterday. They are coming tuesday to put the new handle on and clean the lines....

My Karl Rep knows that I am a surfer, so she knew I was gonna pick this one up... Read the description... Its a "surf beer" for the Full Westuit Winter season... Makes you want to surf, then enjoy one of these...

Here is the Promo ad that they run:

Fullsuit is brewed with the changing seasons in mind. Firm toasted malt and roasted nut flavors are underpinned by a hint of vanilla that comes from aging the beer on French oak. Belgian ale yeast adds a peppery, fruity character to the beer’s slightly dry and warming finish, making it perfect for the (kind of) cold Southern California winter.

A quality session this time of year calls for a Fullsuit. The frigid North Pacific Current rolls in, generating first-class swells and mild hypothermia. While a few brave souls zip up and paddle out with no hesitation, most of us stay on dry land and salute their commitment with a winter warmer of a different kind.

I carried this beer last winter and it sold like hot cakes... You give people a view of the LJ cove and one of these, they will post up for hours... It is SOOOOOO good.
