Yes one of my favorites. I actually was able to find this one as well in a bottle in Penn PA back in the day to add to my collection. I have been collecting beer since the age of 17. I have just about a total of 10,000 differnt kinds of beer. When I got to 500 we started to peel them off the bottle. I started to put all the labels in 24in. by 36in. frames. Of course some are in boxes. Pictures will follow once I figure out how to upload them and take some. Yes, I have drank most of them at least 95%. Beer and pinball I truly enjoy. If I could only invest in a brewery some day. Yes, I enjoy the regulars beers (Bud Light, etc.) but I like to have some IPA's to dark beers as well. Great topic besides my other favorite Jack On the Rocks.

Don't forget the cigars too.having a rock patel now w beer.

How is that beer? Been trying to find it out my way.

Just a little of my collection.

Post picture of the beer I have not hears of it.

Ok will check next week when at my store. I know the brewery Russian River.

Sorry my friend but I just hate this one.

My recent new pick ups at Total Wine. Also some bottles of wine and jack and one new whiskey bottle not shown.

Penguins cups, yes like it!

So many choices with some surprises on top shelf in back and bottom shelf in back. If only collecting pins was this easy.

image-314.jpg

Ready and stocked up.

image-863.jpg

Did the GABF back in 2004 for all three days, what a blast and long week it was back then.

I am not a big Belguim or wheat or Monk fan beer out of the many I have tried over the years.

This one was very good.
image-230.jpg

Holy Cow first time I had in a bottle, not bad.

image-562.jpg

Popped open this just in the right time of the season. Different but enjoying with right food I believe as indicated on back of label, just different.

image-559.jpg

One of my old time favorites and worked well with my cigar.

image.jpg

Different beer by famous Rogue brewey but not a favorite. Had with a cigar and not too bad on a colder night.

image-629.jpg

This had nice little chocolate taste with cold mug for a Porter, nice title Pay the Ferryman. Only why we only get 11.2oz instead of a full 12oz.?

Have not tried this beer yet but have bottle in fridge. Iron Maiden can version coming to states.

Hard to believe a good beer from Orange County, CA. When I lived there the brewery called a Stadium brewery in Alison Viego by the movie theatre sucked.

How is the cigar City beer, have not been able to find them out here yet.

I loved the Goose before Budweiser bought them out. I feel it's changed and not the same. Honkers Ale and The Christmas Ale I remember getting in Holiday 12 packs at Trader Joes back in the day before they became available everywhere now. Still have a Bourbon Stout original receive in fridge before but out. I will post when I try it.

Moose Drool I dislike and don't understand the big crave and see it on draft out here over the past year or more.

Agreed, I noticed that as well. Just not the same taste in RR with cheesesteak anymore.

Recovering from the end of the flu so starting off lightly back to old time favorites while watching the hockey game. I remember the bumper sticker I had on the back of my jacket in high school, "the Moose is loose"

image.jpg

Watched with The Good, the Bad, & The Ugly movie but not nearly as good as what I call there signature beer Hop Devil. Good but still enjoy HD more. Always enjoyed this brewey since I discovered them when they first game out with Hop Devil so many yeas ago. Nice Beer from PA state.

image.jpg

Just tried these three and not bad at all. Not outstanding but not bad. First Hen I like the best for a golden light beer.

image-294.jpg

image-159.jpg

image-680.jpg

Had this one tonight. Yes hoppy but not much taste for me. I remember discovering the brewery well over ten years ago and always liked them but this one not a hit. Can for my women as she is not a beer drinker. Got to her well, ahaahah.

image-19.jpg

I expected more from this one. Like the band and brewery but nothing special about it. I usually love beers from England but this one was not bad but not great.

image.jpg

Sorry wine night tonight, but I had two beers to start, stayed tune for tomorrow maybe

Not a bock fan, nothing memorable. Still like my green Dos the best out of them all.

image.jpg

Still a favorite of mine and different kind of beer.

image-575.jpg

I had this one but still like Hop Devil better.

This one is not bad for non wheat beer fan, fruity and nice and smooth. Always liked the brewery.

image-43.jpg

Just had this 10% one with a nice cigar. Very flavorful. Also my honey bunny enjoyed the Cider globin.

image-29.jpg

image-258.jpg

Tried this one I have had in the fridge for awhile. Opens up in the end or second glass but not as much hop or IPA taste to me. As always in a different pint glass as have quite a few.

image.jpg

I agree. I just gave in and bought this one which is 17.1% but have not tried yet.

image.jpg

Had this one lst night and fell very short of anything superior, not a big porter fan to begin with but this one not much taste. Always remember this brewery in OC when they first came out but never grabbed me.

image-93.jpg

Great beer and cigar!

image.jpg

Had the first one inside and second one outside with cigar.

image.jpg

image-919.jpg

Just had this one been hiding in fridge for awhile.

image.jpg

Drank a bunch of this one last week in Aruba.

image.jpg

Had this one recently, no longer made 2013 edition.

image.jpg

Having this one now while catching up on last three Game of Thronesimage.jpg

This one is much better by them. Not as strong but better taste.

Tried this strange one tonight

image.jpeg

Lithuania. Bottled by Rinkuskiai, Birzai, Lithuania. 15% alc

image.jpeg

image_1.jpeg

I save this one for today. Also cleaning out the kitchen.

image.jpeg

image.jpegimage.jpegThis one is very different in a refreshing kind of way. Had the brewery many times and enjoy them but never this beer by them. Tastes nothing like beer, Ginger is different. Not saying I would have many of them.

Yeah it's called the Yardhouse,it's a chain restaurant. Was big when it first opened but most of the beers are pretty common to me. They also have one in Glendale by hockey stadium. In Tempe they opened a different restaurant called World of Beers. It's alright as well but best to by at Total Wine. I have been collecting for many years but the industry has grown so much it's hard to keep up with all the new ones these days.

I still have an original bottle before Budweisre A Busch bought them out. Goose use to be one of my favorites micro breweries but feel the taste is not the same since buy out.

Having this one now that i discovered long time ago

image_(resized).jpeg

Had this nice stout in the morning

image_(resized).jpeg

Headed to the beer festival today.

image_(resized).jpg

I would need way too many to try and watch a basketball boomball game.

National beer day, opened up this one. Not bad but expected much more. Usually English beers are my favorite but this one is nothing special, not bad but missing something. Strange not more beers posts for national beer day.

image_(resized).jpeg

Nice rain day

image_(resized).jpeg

Sunset beer

image_(resized).jpeg

One more

image_(resized).jpeg

Getting ready for our vacation

image_(resized).jpeg

Had this new brewery today. Alright and not bad.

image_(resized).jpeg

Here are a few that have been with me awhile waiting to open.

IMG_4875 (resized).JPG

Finally opened this up tonight, still good and full of flavor, not as carbonated as due to going so far past the 5 yr period since 2008 but I enjoyed for celebrating the bday that was Tues for the weekend.

IMG_4949 (resized).JPG

Typical German Beer, not bad or special

IMG_5046 (resized).JPG

Trying this one now, simple and nice

IMG_5047 (resized).JPG

Another great beer in the Game of Thrones series

IMG_5048 (resized).JPG

Those are the two most overatted beers on my list out of over 10,000

Is it still as good as before they got bought out by A Busch years ago.

Forgot I had this so tonight must do

IMG_5364 (resized).JPG

Nice for a change.

IMG_5617 (resized).JPG

And time to finally try this one

IMG_5618 (resized).JPG

Love the Penguins tap handle, I see them next week out here vs the Yotes, saw the Cup two weeks ago on the NHL 100 year centennial tour

Had this one for awhile very nice

IMG_6220 (resized).JPG

Another combo

IMG_6613 (resized).JPG

Which beer fest am I misssing? Can ale fest in two weeks

Maui vacation beers

IMG_0013 (resized).JPG

Ever put a jolly rancher in one, that was the think to do back in the days so I heard in high school

Buy a bag and double them up inside curious to know if it’s works as I never had one with or without them

Yes I want to know more about it too

Tonight’s light combo to celebrate 40th Bday.

The 2011 bottle I just had was yummy.

Looks like something I would like. The only frog labels I have in my collection are old Toad and Bad Frog which the frog flips u off banned in some states.

Ok you know I have a big collection from past posts but had to try this, only way to get one label was in a 12 pack. Killans is better as much as I hate Coors Light.

8EA2FE95-4526-43E9-A417-595A53065321 (resized).jpeg

This one not the best by them but ok

0B252ACD-1F11-4386-870D-CB06E2873F01 (resized).jpeg

Last nights lineup, in order of how I would rate them too. Just do no get the last one which was a sour brew.

Yes jackontherocks is me.

This was only alright nothing special, first beer by Cigar Brewery that I was looking to try but not the other CA brewery who it’s done with and don’t think much by them.
