Random Beers

Is there alot of caffeine in that???

It definitely qualifies as "Breakfast Beer".


Next time I'm at the bar, I'll ask the brewmaster. He told me 3 pounds of coffee per batch but I have no clue how many gallons are in a batch.

So the local establishment within walking distance of work has the LT coffee stout. Pretty good. Coffee aromas dominate, but enough malt backbone to keep it beer. Surprisingly smooth for ~8%. And they charge regular draft prices, so a much better deal than at the brewery. Stopped by LT brewery on the way home from Pico yesterday but the place was a clusterF so I headed on down the road to Harpoon.

Got to Windsor and... Leviathan IPA is back! Had a tasty draft and picked up a case. This stuff is pricey ($10/4 pk + tax + deposit), bought by the case you get one 4 pk "free." Still a few Baltic Porters left if you like that one.

Drinking a Woodstock Inn Brewery Pig's Ear Brown Ale with lunch. More of a novelty that I can get their brews at the packy now instead of having to drive all the way up to NH.

meh. My midwestern coworkers think it's the best beer ever. I think it's marketing. But I like beer I can taste after I swallow so who am I to decide?

Any opinions on Leinenkugel's? I have only had the Sunset Wheat and 1888 Bock. I like them because there is no strong bitter after taste ... I am not fond of really bitter brews..

Leiney isn't a bad beer.
Not what I'd call a good beer, either, but drinkable, and generally sessionable.

Trader Joe's seasonal brewed by Unibroue- excellent beverage, especially at only $5. Clearly a Unibroue product, but very, very tasty. Get it now, since all that's available is in stores now. I grabbed 5 bottles on Saturday, after tasting it I shoudl have grabbed 5 cases.

Last summer, my wife was really enjoying Leiney's summer beer, the summer shandy, basically a wheat beer with lemonade. Personally I found it too sweet for my tastebuds, maybe 75-80% of the sweetness of a Mike's Hard Lemonade with a slight hoppy finish.

A case! Yaaaaarrrrrrr, nicely done. Just had a Leviathan Imperial IPA tonight. Soooo good. I think I have one or two more left over from my four pack I bought a month or so ago. Really like to milk those four packs. Hold off until I come and say "yes, today is a day for something special."

Yeah, I've indulged in three already. It's gonna lose some of that wonderful hop aroma, right?

Thanks Dr. J. The manager at BK told me he got 3 cases, and this was the last six pack until next Thursday, when he should be getting both back in stock.
