Re: New beer?

"Celebration" is okay, their Torpedo is better, and their Stout and Porter are very good, imho. Their standard, the regular IPA, tastes just bit bland after some of these others but it used to be our goto beer before we found Dogfish Head. Have you had Sierra's ESB yet? I haven't and was just wondering. Bigfoot Ale is a bit too heavy for my taste right now. DogFish Head's Midas Touch or 90 Minute IPA is much better.

Celebration used to be a Christmas beer but now you can get it here from October/November through April.

Just my 2cents.

Re: New beer?

I've tried all of the Sierra's except Bigfoot... and I might have had a sip of that. My favorite is still the Pale Ale on draught. The Porter on draft and in the bottle is excellent. And I like the Stout too but have only had that from the bottle. I've had the ESP and Celebration and could take them or leave them. I like the Wheat in the summer. It's actually one of the few wheat beers I like. It's light which is nice in the summer.

I can't wait to try this Tornado or whathaveyou. I'm sort of a Sierra enthusiast. emoticon

The place right next to work (in Pittsburgh) has 40 beers on tap. They have the Dogfish 90-min and I have all my buds drinking it. Two pints will kick your ass, tho.

Re: New beer?

At the Dogfish Head Brewpubs in Maryland and Delaware you can mix yoiur bews, like a 90 minute in equal parts with a 60 minute yields a 75 minute. Like that. Weed knows more of 'em than me.

Re: New beer?

Yeah, Dogfish has an "Alehouse" in Montgomery County near a friend of mines house. The boss took me there on my birthday a couple years back and they had "Alehouse 75" on the board so I asked and lo and behold it was just a mix of the 90 and 60 minute pale ales. This was news to me and I've mixed a few since then trying to find my absolute favorite. I recently had a Burton Baton (dogfish 90 minute stored in whiskey barrels) with a 60 minute. THAT was really good. I love Burton all by himself but sometimes you need something a tad bit lighter.

I'm going to start on the whole ber thing again come Spring. We have a pretty good beer bar up the street I'd like to visit every couple of weeks to try their rotating fares. Here's to Spring, boys. emoticon emoticon

Re: New beer?

Have you guys tried the Hamilton Tavern? It's kind of like Racers without the drugs.

Re: New beer?

No, not yet, dude. But Brewer's Art is involved there and I want to give it a go. I've heard it's a nice place now. Back in the day that place was a dump where you might score a case of the clap from just sitting at the bar.

Re: New beer?

It is pretty chill. You just have to watch the locals from the neighborhood that come in. They are used to drinking Budwiser and Miller High life. They get incredibly ****ed up on the Resurection Ale and they can't control themselves. Otherwise it is a classy joint and would be a good place for you to have you little meeting.
