Wot? No Beer Thread?
« on: February 02, 2007, 06:20:50 pm »
Shiner Dunkelweizen.  Rich and wheaty, perhaps a little sweet, but enjoyable nonetheless.  Not as good as "97".

Discuss.

Hobgoblin.

I tried this at the Flying Saucer.

Similar to Shiner but more robust.

Never tried it, but whatever the case, I'm sure it's better than your typical Euro-beer

Victory Prima- simply the best beer I have had in months. It's also my favorite pilsner ever crafted by a large margin. I'm sure you can find it at Spec's.

Victory is the new hot brewery; much like New Belgium was a few years back. Every brew I've tried of theirs? I thought was very good to excellent.

Hobgoblin is an ale, and they have a great slogan: 'What's the matter, Lager Boy, afraid you'll taste something?'....funny.

The Shiner dunkelweizen is excellent.  Most of the time when seasonal beers come out I'll just buy them once to try them, but I've picked some of this up several times this year.

I also agree that the 97 is very good.  I even liked the 96 last year, though it was a little wimpy for a M?rzen.  But then O-Fests are probably my favorite style if I was forced to pick one.

Great, now I need to go to the store...

Can't find 97 anywhere.  It's starting to piss me off.  That stuff was great!

Come to think of it, it has been a while since I've seen it around.  The Sam Adams Black Lager is also very good, though, if you're into that style.  It's not too terribly hard to find, either (thanks to Spec's, the Pinnacle of Man's Achievement(TM)).

Tonight's selection was the Saint Arnold Spring Bock.  Pretty good beer.

97 is long gone.  It was a one-time brew, and will not be brewed again.  If you were lucky enough to get one of the limited run, congrats.  But you'll have to wait until September and see what's in store for Shiner 98.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I'll second that; I had a couple at a superbowl party.
