Friday Beer Thread
« on: February 05, 2010, 11:04:08 am »
I was given a 4 pack of Yeti Imperial Stout made by the Great Divide Brewing Co. in Denver chilling in the beer fridge.  Anybody else tried it?

I have not, but I'm off to find some Shiner 101, now that I'm back in Houston for the weekend (the covered wagon from Shiner to Midland apparently lost a wheel somewhere near Snyder).  Now I just have to figure out which cigar would go best with a pilsner.

OK...I'm finishing up my first Shiner 101.  It's pretty good, though it's not too far from the regular Shiner Blonde, at least on my first taste.  Perhaps as I drink more...

Well, the tradeoff for truly authentic Indian cuisine is Kingfisher beer.  Meh...drinkable with a nice, spicy meal.  Pretty worthless on its own.

I think the 101 is way better than blonde ... much more flavor and fullness.  As it happens, I'm off to visit the country where Pilsner  originated, so I'll make a careful taste test of the various local versions and report back.

I had a Victory Yakima Twilight Ale at Flying Saucer last night. WOW! What a delicous seasonal.

If you get a chance, try it out.

I finally joined the UFO Club back in October, and I feel like I'm making decent progress toward my saucer.

Hudson... I had the same thought about the 101.
