Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
picked up a case of Goose Island Sofie for my wifes birthday. Got her a nice goose tulip glass as well. Shaf, if you come across it, I suggest you try that Saison out. Not sure why, but she generally is in the same boat as you when it comes to most Saisons, but for whatever reason, the Sofie is her absolute favorite of any style. I'm lucky/unlucky that I haven't really come across a style that I haven't found enjoyment in!

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Distributor in town has yards for $22 so I've been tempted, but feel like it's to good to be true (quality wise and that's a lot of beer to have that I don't want to drink). I also noticed the other week they started carrying cases of Colette. I too enjoyed this beer and that has been tempting.Kraftster wrote:I have not had the Yards--it never seems to be in the mix 6 when I am selecting, and I don't know that I'd get a 6-pack of it. I think the Swing is okay for a saison readily available in 12 oz bottles. Too much lemon and not enough funk. As far as 12 oz.-available saisons go, I was very pleasantly surprised by Great Divide Colette. I'd love to see if I can get Save on Beer to get a case of that for me next year.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
I'll definitely give it a shot. I want to be able to enjoy saisons on a hot summer day, and the overwhelming carbonation and whatnot just kills it for me.eddysnake wrote:picked up a case of Goose Island Sofie for my wifes birthday.

If you are ever in the area of Hal's Kraft, they have single bottles of the Yards. Worth it, imo.

I about a mile from Hal's, so that should be easy enough.

I'm in the same club.shafnutz05 wrote:As much as I've tried to like them, I think I've come to the conclusion that I just don't like saisons. Way too carbonated for me, and just way too much fruitiness and spiciness. I might like the rare one, but by and large not a fan. One of the few genres I can't drink :(

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Flying Dog Old Bay Ale was OK. You can taste the old bay in the aftertaste but it's not overpowering. It's just not a great beer.

I'm assuming lambics are also out of the question then...MWB wrote:I'm in the same club.shafnutz05 wrote:As much as I've tried to like them, I think I've come to the conclusion that I just don't like saisons.

Blended lambics--like gueuzes--are really cool.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
If I could only have one type of beer for the rest of my life it would be Belgian triples. If I had to pick a brewer it would be St. Bernardus.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
One beer type would probably be double IPAs. Not sure what brewer.

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
Only one beer type? No thanks. I like too many to say just one.

I'd probably go with hefeweizens
Speaking of, picked up a bottle of Franziskaner Dunkelweiss. Looking forward to trying it.

Pretty good, Weihenstephaner's is better. Ayinger's is pretty damn good too. The latter can be found around here.MRandall25 wrote:I'd probably go with hefeweizens

Re: GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!
And no, I am not paid by Weihenstephaner. I just legitimately feel they are the pinnacle of hefeweizen.
Speaking of which, I really need to see if I can find a case the next time I'm in da burgh.

Oh yeah, out of the hefes I've had, I'd say Weihenstephaner was the best, no question.
