[QUOTE=floridaorange;1094736]^Try reposting Chuck, can't view that.

Regarding the Indian Pale Ale, try calling Total Wine in Clearwater, says limited inventory can to call first. I'm going to look for it here at the Orlando location.

I've had hopslam before. Bell's is from Michigan which is close to me, so it is available here and there. :)

[QUOTE=floridaorange;1094727]That's f*cking interesting, are you serious? Liquor wasn't allowed in seattle? What's a state run liquor store? I don't drink liquor, but wow.[/QUOTE]

You could buy liquor there, but up until last year you could only buy it from basically liquor only stores, and those were run by the state. I remember only seeing one in downtown Seattle near where I worked. But the law finally got changed last year.

^They don't sell liquor in grocery stores here.... but they do in Cali... but we do have "abc" liquor stores here.. but they aren't run by the state i don't think.

Was picking up a milkshake from B&B Junction, a restaurant nearby, and I saw the Jai Lai Indian Pale Ale there so I bought a can (for $5). Hope it's good :lol:.

[QUOTE=chuckc;1094732]this stuff is Really Good, but I have only been able to find it ONE time and I live in the same area where its brewed!!

[FONT=georgia]This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained[/FONT][/QUOTE]

I didn't find the white oak version, just the pale ale... tastes a whole lot like Sierra Nevada to me. But not as strong, which I actually enjoyed more. A great beer, for just drinking 1, or 2.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Currently enjoying this beer for the first time. It is really tasty and definitely a beer I will buy again. Good price too.

Anything and everything from Sammy Smith is excellent. Good choice.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

^^^ i didnt like the choc stout, my fav sammy smiths are the oatmeal stout and the taddy porter

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

I never buy chocolate stouts, so I have nothing to compare it to... I just liked it. the chocolate was very subtle and the beer was very drinkable imo. I'll try the others though, this stuff is quality.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Drinking ESTRELLA...it's a DAMM good beer from Barcelona.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

^nice, will check that out.

Yup. Not bad. Try Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. It is the best out there. Also Sammy Smith Taddy Porter.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

^cool, I wil check those out, thanks brah

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

:RockOn: Let me know what you think. Those both are delicious.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

I should say Sammy Smith Taddy is the best out there and youngs is pretty good stuff, one of my fav choc stouts. Its like Guiness but 100x and with actual flavour.

Just picked up a 4 pack of the Taddy Porter. ;)

Have to wait for it to get cold before I partake. So no Taddy with my Vietnamese food, lulz

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Chuck c and I did try too! Along with racer ipa, oyster stout, resin ipa, great divided oak barrel aged ipa, and Chinook ipa

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Taddy porter was alright, not awesome IMHO

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

I liked the Samuel Smith Choc Stout much more

You forgot the DUBHE BLACK IMPERIAL IPA the best of them all. Brewed with hemp seeds

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA is the best IPA on the planet. Hands down. One of the few beers I actually like.

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Finally found "Youngs Double Chocolate Stout," rezzzzz. It's really good. I think I like Samuel Smiths Choc Stout more, but it's close.
