What beer are you drinking now?

Element Dark Matter. Heady, complex, and fantastic.

I'm drinking a Sam Summer. Not really a fan at all; too much lemon. But there are two in the fridge, so have to make room for more beer.

I'll be moving on to Harpoon Octoberfest later on. I was very excited to see that in the store on Sunday. Octoberfest brews are beacon for me that winter is near.

Do you like Gritty's Halloween? Just curious, as I know you lived in Maine for a while. By far my favorite Fall beer.

I am happy that the Oktoberfests are coming soon. Always look forward to Spaten's offering.

I like it better than Shipyard Pumpkin Head that's for sure. uke:

I agree, but I've had some god awful small batch independent brews as well.

I'm 'drinking' Shipyard Summer right now. Heck it was 4.50 a six pack at the store today trying to dump it.

I used to be much more into beer. For whatever reason about 5 years ago, I became more of a wine drinker. I probably only drink 6 beers a month. I'll drink 6 bottles of wine some weeks though :lol:

Spaten was always my least favorite of the Munich Beers when I lived there. Augustiner and Paulaner were my favs.

Discovered Victory Hop Devil this summer. It may be my new favorite IPA.

Victory has some of my favorite brews. Have you found the Hop Wallop yet??? It's pretty delicious.

Tonight tried two new IPA's - Smuttynose's Big A IPA and Heavy Seas Loose Cannon.

Smuttynose Two Old Guys IPA is one my favorites so I figured the Big A would be a good choice and man, was I right!!! Deliciously hoppy with a great finish. Big fan.

The Heavy Seas wasn't anything to write home about...pretty standard 7% IPA. Tasty, but wouldn't spend the $$ again on it.

We are down at the shore this week. So we have an assortment depending on the tiome of day. For the beach: we have MGD's in cans. Not my first choice but light and refreshoing for the heat of the day. We also have some Dogfish Head 60's for a more robust evening brew. We refilled the quiver last night with some Stella's and ....something else, that I canKt remember right now.

Picked up a 6-pack today. If it's no good, I'm blaming you.

What did you think of the Fire Rock?

had a few acme ipa's over the weekend - ok brew with a great label!

Pumpkin Head (or any flavored beer for that matter) is definitely not for me. I was surprised to read recently that the Pumkin Head accounts for almost 20% of Shipyard's total ANNUAL sales. I guess for the most part it isn't their usual customers buying it though.

I tried one other type of Victory long ago, but don't remember what, or even what I thought about it. Will have to try the Hop Wallop and some of the others you mentioned as well! I have always liked IPA's, but for some reason have been getting more into them lately than ever.
