I was gifted this amazing shirt that I’m absolutely in love with, but it’s way too big for me. Is anybody interested? It’s an XL. I’m a M or L so sadly I just can’t wear this

La Corne du Bois des Pendus Blonde / Blond. Brasserie des Légendes. Belgian Blonde. 5.9% alc. 20 IBU.

Malt aroma, Belgian profile with citrus, floral, and spicy yeast notes. Sweet entry with honey and bread flavors. Evolves into herbal nuances and ripe fruit. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Woodside Inn has one of the best tasting craft beer🍺 I've ever had. And I didn't managed to get a picture of Irish stout but do try it out very delicious. 😋

Will definitely lift your mood, perfect for week days stress relief.

Murky IPA, Pure Project Carlsbad, Ca

We are heading back to the Orange Beach area for the first time in several years. I know Maggie's and Bambooze up in Pensacola have both closed since our last visit, and I already know what to expect from Rouses. What are the current best options, especially for single cans/bottles to take home? Thanks!

Great brew from North Richland Hills, TX if you like coconut.

Here for Phish. The beer list is phenomenal but lighting absolutely is horrendous so no picture of it.

Having the HF Abner.

Asked the homie where to buy beer (my wife said 'my husband is a snob') and he said you can buy beer to go here.

Well alrighty then.

Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.

Allagash's Chocolate Orange Porter Beer Review!

This one was an interesting one for me! I typically don't go out of my way for porters as I am more of an IPA, Lager, Ale drinker but I saw this one and thought I had to see what it's about! I know chocolate and orange together are that combo that people like but I didn't know how it would mix in a beer. You do get your typical Porter notes with a sweeter coffee upfront, then a rich chocolately following up, then on the backend you get that citrus/orange note.
Overall an interesting one and a good taste, but I personally couldn't drink a lot of these! Worth the try for sure though, especially if this is your usual go to's!

At 7% this one has a lot of flavor and overall an easy sipper with good cholocate and orange notes!

Have you tried this one before? What do you think? Is this something that you’d try?

You guys ever get a porter or ipa and it just tastes like metal more then anything? That’s what this tastes like. I feel like it’s happened to me with porters before

Anyone else drink 9.1%?

What a shame that Workhorse got bought out and basically erased for this.

I was in bed when I got the text late last night. Alan had passed. Few “celebrity” deaths bother me as much as this one. And he was a celebrity in every sense of the word from my perspective.

I grew up in Southeast Tennessee with a legal ABV cap at 6 point something percent. I literally didn’t know beer could be brewed above 7%. At 17 in 1999 I met a brewer at a house party who had brought a keg of “strong golden ale” and had a whole song about beer and gushed about brewing. It was a transcendent experience. He recommended Michael Jackson’s beer hunter books if I wanted to learn more. I read them and learned about Oregon and the exciting things happening at breweries like Rogue, Bridgeport, McMenamins, and Hair of the Dog. Between that house party and through college I grabbed every different new beer I could find. Sierra Nevada, Stone, Rogue, and Bridgeport were available in a small section of just a few liquor stores and cost three times Miller and Bud but I paid the premium even though I bought expired spaghetti at Big Lots to save money.

I met my wife in college and she was from Beaverton, Oregon. A few years after college she had a job opportunity in Portland and asked me if I wanted to go. Without hesitation I said yes and we planned the move. The trip to Oregon included a stop at Horse Brass Pub first thing when we got to Portland. At Horse Brass, at the other end of the bar, I saw owner Don Younger, writer Fred Eckhardt, and Hair of the Dog brewmaster Alan Sprints. When I say star struck, I mean it. I was completely in awe and incapable of approaching any of them. This was 2010 and they were already beer gods. Immediately upon arrival this simple southern redneck saw the men who had shaped the beer Mecca of the moment and were instrumental in my willingness to move there.

It was 8 years full of beer dinners, Fred Fests, Holiday Ale Fests, International Beer Fests, Oregon Brewers Festivals, Brews for New Avenues, Fresh Hop Fests, bottle shares, overnight beer release lines, and visits to the Hair of the Dog tasting room on SE Yamhill. A great time for sure, defined by the passionate beer scene and the people I met along the way. As much as I loved it, I still don’t think I fully appreciated what was happening. It was a hell of a time to be alive.

I moved away in 2018 for work and ended up in Florida. I worked the COVID pandemic here as a respiratory therapist and got totally burned out during that year and a half. This past winter I had a chance to work a travel contract in Oregon and jumped at it with excitement to drink great PNW beer again. Hair of the Dog had closed of course, Don Younger and Fred Eckhardt were long passed and The Holiday Ale Fest hasn’t been held at Pioneer Courthouse Square in almost a decade. But there I was perusing the shelves at John’s Marketplace and I spotted this 2021 vintage bottle of Cherry Adam. What excitement! It got me wondering if I could find more Hair of the Dog beers despite being out of production. A quick search led me to the information I needed. Alan was selling old stock himself! I bought a bunch of beer — I should have bought more. When it came time to pickup, Alan himself emailed me his number and we setup a meetup at Yamhill. I was 20 minutes late and embarrassed for wasting his time but he was gracious and couldn’t have been nicer. It was before noon and he had an open bottle of Doggie Claws keeping him warm. It was the week of Christmas after all.

It cannot be stressed enough how big a giant this man was in Portland. His donations to charity raffles and just being present when it mattered was unparalleled. The golden renaissance of Portland beer doesn’t happen the same way without him. I consider myself so fortunate to have experienced the window of time I was there and will never see the like again. RIP legend. He’s clinking glasses with Don, Fred, and Michael, the men he named beers after, tonight for sure.

Greetings and Salutations ladies and gents. I'm planning a trip in late August from AZ all the way to Vancouver, Canada, then down through the National Parks in WA, through Seattle, down to Portland, over to Tillamook for cheese and De Garde. I'll also be making stops in Florence, OR and over the Sisters to Redmond, OR to visit friends. Last leg is down to Lassen National Park, then back to AZ. I'm giving myself two weeks for the trip. Its been a very long time since I was in Seattle or Portland and I know a lot of places are gone. I'm looking for some must visits while I'm there...
Ive done a little looking and I plan to hit:

Brujos

Breakside

Belmont Station

Urban Family

Holy Mountain

Beer Mongers

De Garde (as I mentioned)

Thanks in advance

Love this Welcome to the Party Pal IPA from Prison City. Lots of pithy grapefruit with some tropical stuff around the edges - nicely balanced. Got me thinking about pop culture themed beers in general. Lately we've seen The Big Lebowski, Billy Madison, and Beavis and Butthead among others. What cool pop culture beers have you tried?

Views from today. Needed an air quotes pick me up. (Excuse to stop and get beer).

I had a pour of the 'half remembered'.

Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.

This is what Sam Adams Summer Ale tasted like in 2010 way before it turned into the thick syrupy crap it is today.

Serious 2010 era Sam Summer mini keg vibes.
