Picked up a bottle at Liquorama in Upland yesterday. They had it behind the counter. Even though I am not supposed to drink beer, I may have to just risk it in this case.

I don't know that I'd "recommend" it, but it is definitely worth trying -
Kinda has a Belgium taste to it, so not my favorite, but not a bad brew.
"Beard Beer is brewed with a yeast created from Brewmaster John Maier’s beard. No need to freak out, brewers have used wild yeasts in beer making for centuries. John has had the same old growth beard since 1978 and for over 15,000 brews, so it is no great surprise that a natural yeast ideal for brewing was discovered in his beard. What does Beard Beer taste like? Try it, we think you’ll be surprised…"

I don't know if you all have the same problem that I do. I buy the beer and then let is sit in my fridge. The same thing with wine, except it sits in my wine fridge. Every occasion where I think I should open one, I don't. Instead I go for a beer or glass of wine that's less expensive and easy to obtain. So... there they sit. I really don't know when the "right" occasion is to open them and enjoy the wonderment. Do any of you have this issue? The last time I checked I have about 20 different bottles of decent beers and over 50 bottles of wine.
I have about 50 bottles of beer sitting around. problem is, the wench or I would grab a 6er and finish those before cracking open any of the other ones, and just about all of them are bombers.

Well considering that if I want a beer, I need to share it these days, I have the same thing. Gout really screwed up my beer drinking, although I can sample some every now and then. Speaking of sampling, anyone out near San Bernardino should check out the State on State. It should be opening up any day now, and is owned by a former bartender at Eureka in Claremont. He will have Bourbon County Stout on tap for the opening.

I admit I have the same problem. It's stupid, really. All these great beers sitting there collecting dust. Money spent for great experiences that I have trouble letting myself have because once I have it...it's gone. But if I never have, what was the point in the first place?
A well respected member on another forum would always give his opinion when the topic would come up. Smoke your best everyday (it's a cigar forum) because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Life is precious and you never know when your day will come. If it comes before you have a chance to smoke that cigar you've been saving (or wine, or beer, etc), what was the use in getting it in the first place?
Need an occasion to open that wine or beer? It's Wednesday. The sun rose. Your loved ones are around. Maybe the Kings won a game. Maybe your child aced a test. Maybe your car started without trouble. Maybe traffic was better than it normally is. Maybe you found a penny on the ground. Maybe you completed doing the laundry. Any one of those is a fine reason. You never know if you'll get a better chance.

Anyone try the Pacific NW Ale at the Dude's? It's worked its way up to my beer of the moment

I had the Firestone 18th Anniversary Ale on Christmas with the family, and I must say that it is one complex brew. It's a combination of a bunch of other Firestone Brews of high octane like the Parabola, and it backs a wallop at 13%. I found if to be very rich and malty (just how I like beers) with very little hoppiness. I served it cold and the more subtle flavors would have been detectable at a slightly warmer temperature. Since I was sharing with people who don't normally drink this style of beer I opted for the very cold temp.
I still have a bottle of it in the fridge, but that one I'm going to sit on for a few years. Overall, it was a fantastic beer. I recommend sharing it with friends that will "get" it, because in my opinion is a lot of beer to handle by one person.

if you're into high octane beers, daxx, then look for Mikkeller Black Fist. it packs a whopping 26.1%. since finding out about it last week, I have been on the hunt for it.
also, if you can, find Hangar 24's Pugachev's Cobra. 18.9%. it's pure motor oil!

Anyone going to the Oskar Blues keg night at Alpine Village tonight? View attachment 5303

No, but sounds cool. I wish I was closer to Alpine Village as there doesn't seem to be much German places around the valley. Torrance is a long haul to make in order to drink beer.

If the alcohol gets too high (at least to me) it kinda loses the spirit of being beer and becomes somewhat like port. I like port, but a bomber of it is waaaay too much for me. Just bought a Sucaba (abacus backwards) the other day and noticed it's also 13+%. Yikes! The eventual beer tasting that I have with these beers is going to be a mess. I hope people don't puke from all the alcohol, bc it will be a horrible waste of beer.
Another beer I had recently was the Better Weather IPA from Golden Road Brewery. Its about 9%, super hoppy, and a nice amber color. It was so floral with hops that it was bordering on sweet. If you can get your hands on it, do so. You'll love it.
