Commercial Beer Review/Discussion

    Was thinking we needed a place to talk about commercial beers we find that are good or maybe not so good. I'll be the first to admit I'm not great at tasting notes or providing a professional review. From time to time I find a really good beer that deserves some mention.

    I've had all of these and agree they are some of my favorites. Especially Ruination, Racer 5 and Torpedo.

    I'll have to look for these

    Wife bought me a sampler pack while in Ohio two weeks ago. a couple of interesting beers she found.

    Sierra Nevada Hoptimum was awesome. Super hoppy.

    http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/hoptimum.html

    The Brew Kettle in Strongsville, OH

    Dark Helmet - Black Lager very good
    Old 21 IIPA A very good ipa.

    @ chandlerbang


    Huh. I'll have to see if I can find that around here. That's up around Cleveland, but some of the specialty shops might have it.

    Funny you say that. I've always wanted to try their stuff, because I've heard good things, but then I look at the bottle and puke a little in my mouth.

    I know MI tried to ban Fly Dog due to the lable as well. Didn't know that about WV and Clown Shoes.

    When I read the article they were complaining about the Raging Bitch artwork. Which is funny becuse the other day the ale house had it on tap and my wife said "you should order the Raging Wife".

    It's ridiculous. If it offends you don't buy it. Otherwise leave it alone. But the gubment can't figure that one out.

    Lefty's Scottish Ale phase II was great... but you'll never see any of that. It's a nano around here. He made a batch (3bbl) of a 11% and put it in bourbon barrels and is bottling each barrel three month apart. The first batch was good but this one was much better. Looking forward to the last. Luckly my wife works at a place that sells it so she was able to grab a few before sold out.


    That sounds amazing.

    Notice he didn't offer to share.

    SN original stout. Pretty good. Thick, actually. Lots of mouthfeel, good aroma, good solid stout. Just the right amount of smooth bitter.



    I was skeptical of the SN stout when I first had it, but it's quite good. Everything SN makes seems to be solid.

    I was afraid they were going over hop it, because frankly thats their deal. But it really is a good stout.


    over whatnow?
    i don't think of SN as being a really hoppy brewery.
    now stone.......


    Funny... i actually think the regular stone ipa is under hopped...

    Oskar Blues brewery....awesome. I have had

    Dales Pale Ale
    Old Chub Scotch Ale
    Ten Fidy Imperial Stout
    Gubna IIPA

    They are all freaking awesome. Even better they come in cans so they are great for the pool, beach or anywhere not good for a glass bottle. Check them out if you haven't already.

    I'd give a dale's pale a "alright" on the "junk to great" scale.
    I give Old Chub a quite good
    I give the Imperial Stout a good, but too damn pricey
    The make a red that's damn good, but damn pricey

    I drink a lot of Old Chub.... I think I might have said that on here somewhere already....
    If I made it I'd mash a 2F hotter. It would be better if it was a little less watery and had less "hotness" (taste of ethanol).

    I think it was this stuff... it was some Polish porter that I had yesterday. diffident label, but the name sounds about right. The stuff is like crack. Not much for hops, but an amazing burnt malt flavor. It's like eating special B that was roasted too long, but in the best way possible. Not too pricey for an import either.

    Drank lots of Rogue and house brews at Issaquah brewhouse on Tuesday. So many good brews...

    Sigs Northwestern is delicous
    OBF 25 Baltic Porter, aparently not available off site. You should go to issaquah and drink this. Now.
    White Frog (issaquah house beer) is a good example of a Wit bier with a solid witbread yeast and a sourmash twang..

    @lakewood how difficult would it be to create folders by a few styles to put the reviews in?

    My house looks like a clown threw up. My wife grew up in a household where walls should only be off white eggshell.

    I also think it would be good to do this to the recipe section as well.

    i am up to help with this as well. i would suggest removing the melomel section from the mead part and just go with traditional or other. very few "other" meads commercially available anyway, and most are cysers, which aren't technically melomels.

    It came in a "beers of the world" box someone thought I would enjoy. Not this one.

    I tried a second one of something else. I dumped it. Not good either. There is a Chili Beer in there too. We'll see about that one.

    has anyone tried Stone's "enjoy by IPA"?
    we are not a chosen state yet, but i love all their other ipa's, especially Ruination.

    i think Arizona was picked, and of course Cali



    I'm going out at lunch to a local bottle shop, see what I can dig up.

    Did some more. I think there is only a page or so left to get. A couple I didn't know what style they really are so I guessed. If one is wrong fix it (if you're a mod) or just post in the thread that it's under the wrong style and someone will fix it.

    If you can get Schlafly from St. Louis, try the special release TIPA. Tasmanian style IPA. All Aussie hops, great citrus flavor.
