I recently tried the Horney Goat Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter. If you can find it in Jersey give it a try.

Thanks for the rec, I'll keep my eye out!

Just last week I tried for the first time some Old Speckled Hen. http://www.oldspeckledhen.co.uk/

It's incredibly smooth. Good stuff. :BEER:

my favorite beer is FREE beer.

At the brews and blues festival in Telluride Colorado they had something around 57 breweries and over 100 kinds of beer for "free". I tried some very good beers. Sorry I can't remember any of their names!

Long ago, now gone, it was Kaier's.
Now it's Leffe Blonde.

pebra · « **Reply #787 on:** October 10, 2015, 01:06:45 PM »

Mmmm, Leffe makes very good stuff.
I'll be heading for Leffe-land next week, with the Beer Study Group.

Consider this an open invite:

Just in case any local (or not so local) peeps are so inclined I wanted to let everyone know that we've planned the:

2nd ANNUAL MEDFORD BEERFEST (and BBQ)

2:00 pm till the wee hours - Saturday, October 24th

This year's theme:

Fall In a Can

Probably going to concentrate on Fest beers and Specialty Ales, with a number of Porters and Stouts.

I've been looking and starting to buy cases in the last month.

So far I've acquired a special order case of

Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale

I find it full bodied, rich, with subtle notes of toffee and a smooth after taste. It's got a rich nose and each sip leaves you thinking "holy crap, can this be THIS good".

and I just picked up a case of Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing Co.'s Funnel Cake Ale

Not as decadently rich as the Sticky Toffee Pudding, but still fuller bodied ale with both a hint of vanilla and a nice clean crisp hop finish.

I've got some thoughts on Fest Beers, but haven't made up my mind yet. There will likely be an obligatory Pumpkin something or other (even though I don't drink em). Porters and Stouts are still being investigated.

Stay tuned - more to come.

Food fare will likely consist of State Fair Chicken, Bubba Burgers, and probably Garlic Parm Buffallo Wings from Racks (local sports bar). Might add a tray of sandwiches from Primo's depending on the size of the crowd.

So don't be strangers... come, bring your friends.

Like with about ALL subjects, a lot of snobbery here. My best friend from the Marine Corps drinks Miller (piss water, as some of the snobs say) and I drink some "different stuff". Of course, the beer snobs, who's taste buds are SO MUCH better than my buddy's, always have to make comments to him about his beer. He simply has a two word comment to them, the first word starts with "F" and the second word is "off". I love to see their sophisticated little, butt-hurt facial expressions to that - I about lose it every time.
I'm just still trying to figure out why everyone's choices and tastes are so much better than mine. But, I guess I'm just weird, in that I buy/drink/eat what I want, and not what others tell me is "cool" right now.
Anyways, guess that's why I don't like groups of anything (gun people, motorcycle people, beer people, whatever) - I'm just not into "groupthink". Try to use my own unsophisticated brain for myself.

I like:

Stella Artois in the summer
Guiness in the winter
Pilsner Urquell
and various local micros

More beer snobbery for those of us into groupthink and who use our overly sophisticated brains to bring others into the light.....

Snobbery sucks, but so does willful ignorance and unnecessary hostility.

What's the line from Animal House " Fat, Drunk, and Stupid is no way to go through life son."

If you are in a hurry, you might try mixing your beverages!

Wow, if you think that is hostility, I can tell you were never in the military and damn sure were never on a battlefield. Anyways, stating your favorite beer is one thing, but it's the whole nose-in-the-air "enlightened" thing that the one delta bravo above said that makes you a moron. I have a few favorites, too. But, I don't give a rat's ass if anyone else agrees or disagrees - they're just my favorites, according to my taste buds.

Ellie's Brown Ale - Avery Brewing Company. Not easy to find, but really smooth ale.

Peroni is a great beer. After riding a Guzzi it's time for an Italian favorite. Can't think of a better import.

Good old Sam Smiths, an independent brewery here in Blighty. Their pubs are the cheapest to drink in and the beers are excellent. They even have a fruit beer brewery near my home.
The owner is a bit eccentric to say the least and refuses to increase beer price for years. A pint of Sam Smiths bitter is about �1.40 in the pub, elsewhere at least double that.

A forum that has 28 pages dedicated to a beer topic is in the right place methinks.

Yep , best commercial beer available , and despite what some say , there is a HUGE difference between Pilsner Urquell and American Pilsners . A friend defines Pilsner Urquell as a beer that "fights back"
