The bomb.

Is that by Southern Tier?

I see their beers where I usually shop, and while I've been tempted, there are plenty of other new beers for me to try at half the price. Are they worth it?

Yeah, Southern Tier.

I can't say I'm enamored with any of their other stuff but I definitely suggest trying the Pumpking. Its pretty amazing and worth it in my book.

They're in-state for me, so they're usually one of the cheaper options (~$15 for a 12 pack sampler, $5 or so for a bomber, $8.99 for a growler), so if your prices are around that, I say yay.

Was just reading up on some of their stuff on BeerAdvocate. Lots of dessert-y type sounding beers. I've seen the Choklat and Creme Brulee, but for around $7 a bomber.

$9 for a growler? That's crazy cheap.

People tried the Dogfish Head "Punkin' Ale"?

Pretty solid.

What was extremely disappointing was the Brooklyn Brewery's "Post Road Pumpkin Ale".  Its so watery.  There's absolutely no taste.  Pass on that.

I hates the sweet stuff, but their IPA and 2XIPA, and stuff are all you know...'good-nuff' for the price. Better than the 'pretender' micro-brews, but not as good as the elite beers and brewers.

Yeah I always get a 6-pack of it around this time, haven't yet though. Its a really decent pumpkin beer. Between that and their 90-minute IPA it basically built their brewery at the start of the century.

I don't know. Comparing beer to people seems really cruel to beer.

Tried a bomber of Goose Island Demolition ale, a Belgian style golden ale, this evening.

Not bad. Very much like a saison, but a little too sweet for me. Not quite enough of that peppery, spicy component that I really like in a saison.

At 7.2% ABV, it definitely hit me by the end of the bottle.

Miner Mishap by Choc.  Never heard of this brewer - they're out of Oklahoma - but the beer is a tasty, malty black lager.  Nothing spectacular but a nice solid beer.

So after liking the Miner Mishap, I decided to try another Choc beer:



Just awful.  I poured about half of it out, and I never pour beer out.  The Miner Mishap's still good though.

Wow. Desperate times. Was it off, or just bad to begin with?

It didn't taste skunked or anything, just kind of watery with a really nasty hop flavor that got worse as it warmed up.  I still have 5 more, so I'll crack another at some point and see if the first was a fluke.  If not I'll probably be donating the other 4 to the next party I attend.

Remind me not to invite you to my next party!

Blue Moon Wheat
Blue Moon Belgian Pale Ale

Both were painfully mediocre.
