The Beer Thread

It's not even close how much better BCBS is than KBS. Although BCBCS vs. KBS would be more fair of a comparison in terms of style, but BCBCS makes the disparity even greater over KBS.

KBS is a good beer but not worth the trouble.

I agree, we did another comparison between the 2 last night and BCS won again

For those in the Detroit area, check out the new bar in Corktown called Brew Detroit. Some of my buddies brew their own beer and it recently went on tap there. It's a Belgium Wit called Witwalker. Not only is the beer delicious, but the bar/brewery is really cool. They have 10 or so taps with most of them being their own beer, but then they allow local brewers to brew their own beer within their facility and put it on tap for all to enjoy.

OK.  I can die now. I had Zombie dust on tap tonight. I believe.

Kinda disappointing?

The opposite. It was so good. I know why people claim it's unbelievable.  It is.

Yeah, I like it, but my face didn't melt off, so disappointing.

I'll still take Daisy Cutter over it.

Funny you say that.  I was with someone whose favorite beer is Daisy Cutter. He had two Zombie Dusts then had a Daisy Cutter. Maybe it was beCause of the switch but he said the Zombie Dust was soo much better.

And there are still better beers than Zombie Dust. If you get out west try Apocalypse IPA by 10 Barrel - it's better than Zombie. I also feel that Zombie Dust was big like 2 years ago. Sculpin I think is better too. Grapefruit Sculpin even more so. Again, just my thoughts. Still a good beer. But Zombie is also not as good as it used to be since they now use a hop blend.

[Spotcheck Billy]

I make my own using all Citra hops

Anyone else try Weyerbacher Sunday Morning stout? Other than a crappy name, IMO it is much better than the over-hyped KBS.

I just had their IPA a couple weekends ago in Lake Geneva, it was really good.

One of the best labels in the game.

I've had a few of the Karben4 beers and haven't been blown away. Fantasy Factory was okay, but there are a bunch of IPA's I'd have before that one.

Add me to the Daisy Cutter over Zombie Dust list.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Just got a few new ones from Pearl Street Brewery. They were advertising at Discount so I got a few of their 6 packs. Java lava and Smoking Hemp Porter are both really good.

Going to Brenner Brewing Friday, anyone been or had any of their beers?

I'm a not a huge fan of IPA's but I really like Fantasy Factory.  Stone IPA and Firestone's Union Jack are really good as well.

I have been. Mike's an interesting dude, but you can tell he really knows his stuff. The beer was pretty solid. The sour was especially good, and I liked the pale ale's since they weren't too aggressively hopped. Bacon bomb is one you have to try. Super smokey rauchbier.

I went on a Saturday and it was organized chaos. I'd recommend a tasting flight if you want to sample them, it'll cut down on time spent waiting in line at the taps.

Give Senita (another pale ale) by Half Acre a try. I love Daisy Cutter and I'd say Senita is better. It definitely does have that distinct Half Acre grassy/citrus taste like Daisy Cutter though

Just not as available as DC.

[Mane37]

I'll take a Bell's Two Hearted or Founder's Dark Penance if I wanna go bitter beer face.

I still prefer a stout/porter drinker, any time of year.  Left Hand Milk Stout (Nitro) is my first choice, Founder's Porter and Southern Tier Creme Brulee are also excellent.

Love Zombie Dust and Fantasy factory....Both in my fridge right now.

I toured Sam Adams, Harpoon, and Allagash Breweries last week. Boston/Maine has themselves some fantastic beer!

Anything you liked in particular from those New England breweries? Looking for a good summer brew available in New England. I think sam summer is solid but nothing too special. I hear good things about harpoon ipa but It's been a while since I've had it. Also a lot of people like allagash white. Anything that stood out to you?

Jack's Abby makes some delicious lagers.
