Jaynen 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Stone is awesome as a brewery. Oceanside Ale works is near me and opens the brewery floor on saturdays. Its like 5 bucks to buy your big cup and 3 dollar refills or something I am a newcastle fan also, its just such a smooth drinking beer. And then for the champagne of beers I go with Chimay Blue brewed by monks in Belgium. I got a Chimay pack for my birthday with the appropriate glass and everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted January 7, 2009 Polygamy Porter This dark, medium bodied ale offers the drink-ability of a much lighter beer. The inviting chocolate and malty flavors fade into a slightly dry, silky smooth finish. Why have just one? 4.0% alcohol by volume. • 2006 Silver Medal Winner, Brown Porter, North American Brewers' Association I love the label..."Take one home for the wives" Wasatch Brewery, Park City, Utah. They also have a Devostator double bock which it 8% and has to be sold at State Liquor stores cuz it exceeds the ABV limits for beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted January 7, 2009 Ballard Bitter IPA from Red Hook was a popular choice when Fred (Snaildarter) and I were going to college in Oregon back in the dark ages.......(wasn't Jimmy Carter president then? ).......one of the lacrosse club teams in our league was sponsored by Red Hook Brewery so those games were always fun win or lose (we usually lost) .......The Ballard Bitter labels always cracked me up with the "Ya Sure Ya Betcha" on the label Another favorite of my brother’s was Black Dog Ale (he bred/trained/judged black labs)….Larry was a BIG TIME duck hunter so he got taken in by the marketing/labels……the “No WHiNERS” stamp on the upper part of the beer label is pretty funny……it’s not clear in the below photo but the dog’s collar says “CHUG”. I picked up these beer label images from Beer Labels.Com.......an astounding 4854 Beer Labels and Beer Bottles from 829 Brew Co's! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCHWINN 0 Posted January 7, 2009 I also love the smell of coffee brewing but cant stand the taste. Beer I dont like much either, but if I drink one it will be a Coors light. I would rather have a Dr. Pepper. I cant believe I am going to say this outloud but I love strawberry bananna daqueries and TGIF mudslides. Umbrella drinks Wife works at a Starbucks and school teaches and I can probably hit a golf ball at stone brewery from my house in escondido, not really since I live off Del Dios Hwy but its close. My wife lori loves Stone brewery and dark beer and Guiness also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strega 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Sounds like we need to make a stop at the Stone Brewery on the way to Barstow to stock up on some suds: "I think a man working outdoors feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds. That's only my opinion." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrophyHunter 15 Posted January 8, 2009 BS, can u please comment on Mescalero's beer pairing? Is a combo meat plate and beans the proper compliment to Sierra? KTMRad..re Utah/Polygamy Porter...as you probably guessed, Wasatch Brewery isn't owned by Mormons and they throw barbs at the locals with the beer names. What, with Evolution Ale, 1st Amendment Lager & Brigham's Brew (a root beer). Fun stuff, good beer & good food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the issue??? ......Corona with a steak or a Sierra with a burrito......who cares It's a simple formula - (Any) Food + (Tasty/malted) Beverage = Meal When I went through the "Brew Masters" class, we did a lot of different pairings (I think it is a low brow attempt to equate beer with wine)... surprisingly, different foods really do bring out different qualities in the beer... the most surprising to me was the Amber Bock with two different kinds of chocolate. It almost tasted like a different beer... it was actually pretty cool. It was like "prepping your palate" for the beer... Chris; come down to Seaworld...
