Hanging @ Sunny Jim's... Started w a Penn Octoberfest, ND Harpoon IPA and eating a pepper jack pretzel. Hell yes.

[Kraftster]

A very good Kolsch. Totally sessionable, wish I had more than just a single pint.

[the wicked child]

Just downed some Weihenstephaner @ Sharpedge. Had some Mediterranean Nachos, stuffed pretzel bites and pizza. Probably the best meal I've had @ Sharpedge tbh.

I'm disappointed at the lack of Pumking available.

[the wicked child]

Yeah... Sharpedge had it on their list, but they were out. I might get to try it some day.

What beer pairs well with spiciness? I made a vegetarian chili tonight that is face melting hot.

Ipas usually go well with stronger flavors and will probably cut through some of the burn

Ithaca Pale Ale
Ithaca Groundbreak
Harpoon Belgian Pale Ale

Cascade Strawberry tonight. 2011 version. It will be exciting if east coast breweries start experimenting with this kind of stuff. It'd be nice to have a better baseline.

The nose on this one is pretty awesome because of the fresh strawberries smell. I really had doubts about how that would work with the funky, bretty, tartness but its smells awesome. The taste doesn't quite deliver the same strawberry punch which is probably for the best. Overall its probably a milder american wild/sour, probably a good one to start someone on. Cool color too, like a pinkish/blush gold. Happy I got one to try, now I can focus on others when I finally get to Cascade someday.

Has anyone ever seen the Victory kolsch? Its highly rated, and I think I could really get into Kolsches but I don't recall ever seeing it.

Have you had the Ommegang Harvest beer? This was the first Ommegang seasonal i've had...i'm now on the lookout for any seasonal that they put out.

Scythe and Sickle? Yeah, I'm a big fan.

I'm thinking I'm going to get the Ommegang sampler available at Beer Nutz in the North Hills for my camping trip in a few weeks. 6xHennepin, 6xAbbey Ale, 6xThree Philosophers, and 6x can't think of what the fourth is. $61. Trying to decide whether my friends are worth that sort of outlay.

I had the Ommegang Biere D'Hougoumont last night on draft. It was delicious.

TIL a new word: sessionable.

[Loaf31]

Had a couple beers over the weekend:

FatHeads Headhunter IPA: Very hoppy, but as it warmed up, it got better
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale: Really liked it....Tastes better in a mug then a bottle
Otter Creek Oktoberfest: Very good, lighter flavor. My 2nd favorite Oktoberfest behind Great Lakes.

Anyone know where I can get Yuengling Oktoberfest? Been looking for it for a while, every distributor is out and doesn't know when it will be back in stock

Pumpkin beers suck. There, I said it. Do not like.

[shafnutz05]

I drank like two sips of Pumking and had to stop drinking it. I find them gross as well

[JoseCuervo]

I can occasionally drink a pumpkin beer, but I can only drink one and I can't drink anything else afterwards.

Thing is, I don't really like very heavy desserts either. I'm not a big "sweet tooth guy", so I am sure that plays into it.

I'm disappointed at the lack of Pumking available.

Hal's off McKnight has some on draft. One For The Road is getting it this week as well. Dive Bar should be putting on another barrel at some point in the near future. Of course, these places are all up north...

Also was at Rock Bottom tonight. Never had their Pumkelweizen before (dark wheat pumpkin beer). Pretty darn good.

I think they are usually over spiced as well. I can do heavy desserts, but I typically like my beer tasting like beer.

You think One For the Road is going to survive much longer?

[meecrofilm]

I think it's only a matter of time ever since the Market District right by it started selling beer. Although I get the impression it's been a tad better recently than it has before, though it really couldn't have gotten much worse short of an immediate collapse. The fridges are still depressing, haha. Obviously not too optimistic about it.
