we have a 72 or 75 tap restaurant here but mostly IPA that's where i took a lesson on Kentucky cask bourbon ale. 6 with my meal and had to get home

After six barrel-aged brews, most would have lost the ability to form words or stand upright.
 
I really enjoy it. I like most of the brews I've tried in that ancient ales series they do, Theobroma was probably my favorite.
Iv seen that on menus but that last 2 or 3 dogfish types iv tried were not that good so i havnt been tempted to try new one lately. Iv read the reviews on the Midas Touch, most are good, some think its too sweet for them, but i like touch of sweetness if done right.
 
Yeah, I’m not a big dogfish head fan, but I do like the ancient ales. Midas Touch isn’t my favorite, but it’s worth a try, IMO. If I know something has very limited availability, I’ll usually take the chance to have it, even if it’s not my favorite style.
 
9f1069293dc1734cde54354f4de7fcb6.jpg Finally tried this at a friends new Brew Pub. Its very good. ID put it in my top 10 best tasting brews. About 8% so not super strong but about Avg for what i usually drink. Also found it at a distributor where i could possibly order it but its $138 a case, but they couldn't tell me how many 750ML bottles were in a case . Im guessing 12 but they think its 6 . Was $7.00 a 16oz glass at the pub so that would be about $14 ea bottle. Cant imagine its more expensive by the case.

I liked Miller. Shame can't drink any alcohol. Big D got me.

In my early days i was almost exclusively drinking Miller then Miller Genuine Draft. That was before craft beer came along in big way. I usually had a half barrel of miller on tap at my bar. Havn't had a miller for at least 10YRs or more.
 
Haven't had a Miller since before I could legally buy my own beer.

What's "the big D"?
 
I was working at the Great American Beer Fest over the weekend. I got to try a lot of new beers that might be my favorite now :)
 
Eastern Brewing out of Detroit had a really good White Coffee Beer. I had a few sours that were pretty tasty. For GABF, so many people brew beers just for the event that they don't serve anywhere else.

There were over 4000 beers there, so I didn't get to try them all :)
 
Midas-Touch.jpgHad a chance to pick this up for a birthday celebration.This one does not taste like most Dogfish beers.It really is like part wine. Very smooth ,not at all bitter with an IBU of 12 on the scale. You cant detect a trace of alcohol even though its a big 9%. Well done dogfish. $16 for a 4 pak.

Figured you’d like that one. If I see it on the menu, I usually order it, as I never know when I’ll see it next.
 
FB_12ozBottle_WEBTrans.png Had 3 different Octoberfest brews last night continuing my week long birthday celebration. None were outstanding except the Victory was very good. Also had a Sam Adams and a Leinenkugel both of which fell flat and weak. Was at the Crackle Barrel Bar Catawissa Pa. Not much of a selection.

The guys at Victory know their stuff. Their mostly hoppy brews don’t suit me, but they get all kinds of respect from the hop heads. I like their Golden Monkey and variant White Monkey. I’ll pass on the Sour Monkey.

I do remember getting a variety pak of Victory and the Golden Monkey was the best one of the bunch.

breck nitro long.jpg Kind of weak on flavor. Came to life with a shot of ammaretto added. 5.4%ABV A beer should stand on its own. I dont have to add flavor to dogfish beers.

yeah, that beer tastes like chemicals to me. All synthetic, no actual flavor.
 
nope. looking at seasoned oak's picture it's the dark one that looks like stout:)
