Just reminded myself how very good Long Trail Ale is. The wife surprised me with a 12 pack of man flowers.

Yup! Long Trail Ale is one of my "core" beers that I almost always have some in the beer fridge. And one of their reps, Kelly, is really cool too! [size=-2](maybe if she reads this she'll put a few more Long Trails on the company account for me the next time I see her at a Mount Snow event!)[/size]

Had an Abita Purple Haze yesterday on tap- forgot it had grape juice in it. Good session able beer, though. Also had a Gaffen Kolsch, a good example of the style, also draught. And a Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA. Holy Hoppiness, Batman! Good beer underneath, but really hoppy in the over hopped style of American IPAs.

I had one of those "experiences" on Christmas Day. My wife's Uncle handed me a cold Smuttynose IPA - didn't work my with taste buds. The now becoming usual really hoppy American micro IPA start, with a DISTINCT grapefruit finish (and i'm not a fan of grapefruit!) Kind of had the same effect on the two other beer drinkers in the house that day too

I really don't like Long Trail Ale. I never buy it and never order it at the brewery. It's better than that watery Blackbeary Wheat but Long Trail brews other beers I like much better.
I like their brewmaster series and Double Bag. My progression recently at the brewery has been Imperial Porter, Centennial Red, Double Bag though I stop after two if I'm driving.

Their Centennial Red is mighty tasty - I picked up a Bomber bottle of it for the 1st time about a month ago, and have found myself grabbing another bomber or two whenever I see it now.
As my beer evolution has progressed lately I am finding that I'm avoiding overtly hoppy beers more and more(whereas I used to be drawn to them) and have been enjoying beers with a profiles more like a good wine (smooth start and a good body with a nice mix of mild/moderate flavors in the finish) - I hope that's not a sign that I'm actually starting to mature a bit
:lol: :beer:

Just finished some Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. Very tasty! Kind of like a light Imperial Stout with a hoppy finish. Description from the web site, "the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale" . Good Stuff!

^ yumm, as well as the pale ale
Going to this tonight: http://www.dogfish.com/community/events/dogfish-promo/20028/tap-takeover-at-redbones.htm
Lotta high ABV stuff there, good thing the wife is driving and I have the day off tomorrow.
Had the Poppa Skull and Bitches Brew last week - both were really really good.

I was so pleased to find that Trader Joe's is still stocking their Kennebunkport Blueberry Wheat this winter (also known as Shipyard aka Sea Dog's Wild Blueberry Wheat, for a few bucks off the name brand price). Then again, I haven't been to TJ's since the summer...
Picked up a Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome while I was there, which I will be enjoying later. :beer:

I am in very much agreement with the good Dr. Dentist. I always used to love the hoppy IPA's and, of late, I am drawn to less hoppy ones, like Blue Moon's IPA (anyone?).
Long Trail is also my "core" beer. I just picked up the Double Bag's. Mmmn, Yum....and 7.2% to boot. I think this could be the smoothest, high alcohol content I've tasted yet.

Marcski, if you can find this, check it out interms of a SMOOTH high alcohol content brew. Widmer Brother's Barrel Aged Brrrbon - 9.4% ABV, and just as smooth, if not even a touch smoother than a Double Bag!
They have it on tap, along with a about a dozen other really good micro's, at Mount Snow's newly rebranded Station Taproom, on the 2nd floor of their main base lodge.
Their On Tap Beer Menu as of now - they will be rotating other micro's in/out as the season goes on

Wow, that is a great list of beers at Mt. Snow :beer:
I just grabbed a mix-six up at Glen Beverage: Victory Golden Monkey, Victory Storm King Stout, Trout River Chocolate Oatmeal, Dogfish Raison d'Etre, Longtrail Double Bag and Blue Point Toasted Lager. Should be a good NYE.
Now off to Moat for some lunch and maybe a beer or two.

A disappointing beer night at my place to be sure.
Sam Adams Infinium. A friend from VA is up to ski this weekend and we picked up a bottle. Billed as a "campaign like brew" it is a collaboration between Sam Adams and Weihenstephan Brewery in Germany. Super malty. Not a fan at all. Reminded me of several Belgian styles I have had in the past. Super carbonated and very sweet. Thank goodness I didnt pay for the bottle.
Sebago Brewing Company's Saddleback Ale. (since we are headed up there today, we thought it fitting) Another let down. Clearly Sebago was brewing with the Budweiser crowd in mind. It makes sense. They have a lot of stuff that is real real good. (I like Fryes leap IPA very much and their Full Throttle Double is quite nice) It's an American Blonde Ale and I am sure it is good for the style. Not my cup of tea....er....beer.
Washed all of it down with a Frye's Leap. Felt a little better about life after.
