very nice

Try the General Washington Tavern Porter. Very good

Doesn't Guinness have a black out now, too?

Has anyone tried the Guinness Black Lager yet? Almost bought it last week, but got Sweetwater Motor Boat instead, which was pretty good.

It's not bad, a lot a flavor, as you would expect from Guinness. It's a lager so it's not as heavy as a stout

Had this tonight. Solid dark lager. Nothing spectacular, but definitely worth 6 pack.

I'm not sure how widely available this is, but it's very tasty.

Spoiler:

I tried this a couple weeks ago....it was ok, but kinda meh

Well, that goes to the difference in tastes, you actually like Sam Adams.

found some Great Lakes Christmas Ale while cleaning out basement closet. They are probably 6 years old, but it's go time, should compliment the few cans of PBR sitting in the back of the fridge.

Oh absolutely, it's all a matter of taste.

I don't like Sam Adams per se, but they make a very good cream stout. It is rated an "A" on BeerAdvocate

Found a Great Lakes Blackout Stout that says best by 08/30/09, seems to be good, what actually goes bad?

The beer doesn't taste any different, but certain particles in the yeast portion of the beer metabolize. You won't notice it, but it usually leads to bad stomach upset, excessive diahrrea, and hemherroids.

And that's just the good stuff.

Drinking a Dark Horse Special Reserve Black Bier. Very heavy, noticeable but not overly smoky finish. Pretty good.

Also picked up a 4-pack of Sam Adams Imperial Stout.

[shafnutz05]

Their imperial stout is very solid

Sam Adams gets a bad rap from some people because of their "large brewery" status, but most of their stuff is solid. Even the Boston Lager.

[MWB]

I agree about Sam Adams.... mostly solid stuff. If there aren't many options that's the beer that I'll go to.

anyone have Victory Storm King Stout recently? Used to drink it all the time in school, still delicious?

It is still delicious and it messes you up

harpoon winter warmer...mmmmmmm

[Defence21]

Has anyone had Michelob Amber Bock? It's on sale at the local distributor for $13 a case, and I'm tempted to buy just as a cheap fridge-stocking beer for when friends are over. Thoughts?

[MWB]

You lost me at Michelob...

Actually, I've also wondered about the quality of these types of beers ( this one, bud select, whatever the miller one is). Just haven't wanted to waste money to try because my expectation is so low.

[stopper40]

Heading to a beer and cheese tasting tonight at Barleys and Hops. Should be interesting.

I got a case of it myself...i've never had it on draft and if anyone see's this on draft in Pittsburgh please report it in this thread.

[the wicked child]

Just read the description... I need to be on the lookout for a case.

[Troy Loney]

I got it from that beer distributor on liberty right outside the liberty tunnels.

[ExPatriatePen]

We have a beer distributor up here on Long Island that's doing something I've never heard of before.

They have about three dozen different craft beers on draft and the fill growlers and sell them or you can bring your own and they'll fill them for you (for a price obviously).

I didn't know this was legal in NY, has anyone anywhere else seen anything like this?

[the wicked child]

Not a distributor, but there are definitely bars/restaurants in the Burgh that do this.

I've seen this in vt as well.
