I'm just glad the beer thread is picking back up some steam after it went pretty quiet over the summer. Colder temps means more stouts, porters, brown and amber ales. I couldn't be any happier
-
Good point on Flying Bison. I noticed it before kind of subconsciously, but now that you mention it I think it's spot on. I also agree with d4ark that it seems like their "flavor" is expanding.
-
Awesome! If you're able to, throw a couple pictures up of the tent/ beer steins. I've been to Germany for a long weekend but not during Oktoberfest. It's on the bucket list
-
Noted. I was running through the Oktoberfest beers I've had over the past few years (Sam Adams, Rohrbach, Great Lakes, Pearl St.) and couldn't think of a time where I had a bad one. Not that I've had numerous renditions of the stuff though... Edit: Actually, I think I have had Saranac's before. Nothing they make ever stands out.

Basically where I'm at this year. Very early in the offseason I had them pegged as a 6 win team when looking at the schedule and all the moving parts on the roster. After the past handful of trades, I have them around 4 wins. Which I'm ok with as long as they finally land that QB we haven't had since Kelly. They're obviously putting a lot of stock into building back up the depth in a way that fits their systems, but they're also putting themselves in position to make a play for QB.
-
Honestly, I can't think of a bad Oktoberfest experience... Has anyone ever had an Oktoberfest beer that was flat out bad?
-
I can't understand why Ducasse is still given time with the starters. I understand the team taking their time with Dawkins at RT and allowing him to transition, but Miller has been better than Ducasse ever since he stepped into the league.
-
Hah! Just bought a 6 pack of that myself a few days back. It's too early for pumpkin beer (which I can't handle much of anyways), but it's never too early for Oktoberfest
-
I know if I was LA, I would want to see Sammy take some snaps before finalizing a trade for him. It's a bad look if they finalized a trade, only to have Sammy arrive in LA and fail the physical. The timing seemed intentional.
-
Glenn still isn't practicing... Before training camp I had them pegged for 5 or 6 wins. Depending on injuries going into the season, I could see a 4 win team coming out of this.
-
Yeah they still had their stout on tap- pretty good! Also really enjoyed the bourbon barrel blueberry stout from dark horse brewing, as well as the victory at sea peanut butter porter from ballast point. Those two were my favorites from my flight.
-
Going to training camp practice this afternoon, then heading north to WhichCraft Brews in Webster. Haven't been yet but heard it's a great place
-
Couple weeks back, I finally got my hands on KBS. My life will never be the same. But really, that was some incredible stuff. You would have no idea its 12%+
-
Shed some wisdom on me, people. My concern with signing Vanek now is team speed. Between Vanek and Pominville the lines look pretty slow overall, right? Am I crazy, or is it worth consideration?
-
This year? No. They could eventually turn into one though. Will Scandella be a top 2 pairing on a playoff team?
-
Scandella is a top 4 defender?
-
Yep. A lot of talk about forward prospects here. I'm surprised there isn't as much of a focus on D-men. Are the D prospects you're interested in out of reach of the 8th pick?

Expansion draft and league-wide wheeling and dealing
The Dominator replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
As someone who isn't the most knowledgeable when it comes to hockey, can someone give me some info on Shattenkirk? His point production is impressive, but Paul Hamilton thinks he's the most overrated defender in the league. Any thoughts? -
I was thinking the same thing. Not this example exactly but still...
-
Had a Gurkha (not sure which kind, seemed like a Maduro wrapper) at the first fire of the summer. Liked it a lot!
-
Yeah it's about a 10 minute drive from where I work so I've been meaning to stop in there for a while now. The place has great Google reviews
-
Temperatures are slowly changing and I'm low on cigars. It's about that time to re-stock. Thinking about checking out Tinder Box in Amherst
-
Wooden Robot, Good Morning Vietnam? I'll have to find it and give it a try. Thanks! Looks like they also have a summer porter... Very intrigued.
-
Six Point C.R.E.A.M. Meh. I've had much better coffee beers. I thought, considering it was a cream ale with coffee, that it would be a light refreshing coffee flavor but not heavy or thick so I could go through a couple in a sitting even out in the sun. But it tastes less like a cup of joe and more like liquid coffee beans if you know what I'm trying to say. More like coffee grounds and less like a smooth brew. The search continues...
-
Looking through the schedule as objectively as I can, I can't get myself to predict more than 6 wins next season.
