The Beer Thread

[Yada]

I cringe in posting this, but since there are probably more hipsters on the board than beer lovers...

Friday 1-Day Deal. PBR. Regular price is $8.99, but for just Friday they are $5.99/12pk. Whole Foods.

My ass pities the person who drinks PBR at home.

Blact Cat, Black Cat tapping Hopslam today

C'mon guys. There more good beer in New England than just Smuttynose.

UTICA, N.Y.?The Democratic senators from New York and New Hampshire are betting some of their states' finest craft brews on the outcome of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

If the New England Patriots prevail, New York Sen. Charles Schumer will buy New Hampshire's Smuttynose beer for every member of the Senate. If the New York Giants win, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen must offer her colleagues beer from six New York breweries -- Brown's, Brooklyn, Blue Point, Saranac, Captain Lawrence and Ithaca.

Schumer used the occasion of the friendly wager Tuesday to tout his "I Love NY Brew" campaign.

He's pushing to expand New York brewers' market share so that they can grow their business and hire more employees. The industry currently supports nearly 60,000 New York jobs.

Blact Cat, Black Cat tapping Hopslam today

amusingly enough while there was a near riot at Churckey yesterday to get Hopslam, its been on tap for 3 days just 4 blocks up the street at Black Cat and still hasn;t kicked yet - guess those hipsters just like PBR

[i am gay and i like cats]

people who go to churckey . . . must think you will shot at the black cat.

[Darth Ed]

Those must be the four longest blocks in DC because it sure seems a lot longer than 4 blocks when I walk past the Black Cat to Churchkey and then back to Black Cat for a show.

I had a bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale recently and thought it was very good:


Nice deep color and lots of malts.

Just as a comparison, I'm a big fan of St. Bernardus Prior 8, Abt 12, et al., which are some of my favorites of this style.

Founders is coming to Maryland!   W00t!

http://beernews.org/2012/02/founders-brewing-expanding-to-maryland-projecting-75k-barrels-in-2012/

The brewery recently installed an additional 85 Barrel brewing system, which increased its capacity to 200,000 barrels per year and expects to produce 75,000 barrels in 2012. Locally, these beers can be found in Virginia and Washington D.C., with expansion into Maryland expected early this year.

   Yay!  'Bout time.

[i am gay and i like cats]

new favourite brewery . . . north coast brewery.  too much founders and it loses its edge.  and man i still kick my self for missing out on st bernardus christmas.

[James Ford]

Did anybody else get their $4 10 oz pour of hopslam at Birreria Paradiso in Georgetown tonight?

I'm guessing they'll have more tomorrow at their half price happy hour Tues. based on how empty they were tonight, and the fact that the people around me were drinking Cokes and Eggenberg Pils from a bottle at twice the price.
