Wexford's Irish Creme Ale
Guinness Nitro IPA (which is surprisingly tasty)

Also had a growler of Boulevard Single Wide IPA and a 32 oz. bottle of Fordham Thin Mint Stout.

Seems the foray by Guinness into different beer types is pretty successful. I picked up another 6 of their American Blonde Lager - confirmed my opinion of a nice choice for an easy drinkable brew.

Also tried Leinenkugel's "Helles Yeah" which went over pretty well. Not quite up to the genuine Munich brews, but pretty good.

Sierra Nevada Otra Vez, Tropical IPA, Hop Hunter, (and from the brewery, supposedly not available elsewhere) a growler of Brown Ale with Raspberry

Blue Moon

Somewhere in the back there are a few cans of PBR

Hooray for decent beer!

Drinking an Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose right now. Gotta love the sour beers.

Yeah, I find that beer pretty good when I am craving a sour and not looking for a huge one.

I have generally been pretty happy with any of the Helles varieties I've tried. Cigar City makes a pretty nice one.

Was treated yesterday with Founders Centennial IPA , with a classic IPA bitterness with some citric overtones. Rushed to the beer shop to get a couple of six-packs for the fridge. Has a 98 p rating by RateBeer

I will drink Founders, but it's not one of my favorites.

9.1% Belgian saison with rose hips and hibiscus. Quite nice with some sweetness upfront and tartness on the back. $8 for 500 ml bottle.

I am waiting for their brewmaster to put out a version of the rye he did before at another brewery. That beer was once #1 US barleywine on beeradvocate.com. Spectacular stuff. Should be out in January they tell me. And they are barrel-aging some.

The rye is out now. Called "Lost Weekend." Seriously good. If you are a fan of rye, look for it.

Barrel-aged will be amazing.

Belgian Moon and a six-pack of Pilsner Urquell.

I will take any that you do not want.

Great. You can meet me at my favorite beer bar in a few weeks. I'll order a bottle of each that they have so they can credit my passport for them. I'll pour a sip into a glass for each, and then you can have the rest. :D

One Maredsous Blonde cooling down for tonight.

onobond Mar 19, 2016 11:44 am

For tonight's BBQ, large bottles of Chimay Bleue (Triple), are cooling down to be consumed . 100p on RateBeer. In Belgium these bottles are called Grande Réserve.

Heading home from a week in South Korea and Japan and looking forward to enjoying real beer again. The ubiquitous Cass in Korea and Kirin Ichiban in Japan hasn't been doing it for me.
