Beer Glorious Beer

[pixiness]

Okay - So I was wondering if there's a fellow CS-er out there that's:
A - heard of New Belgium Brews
B - Can get them in their town (specifically the summer seasonal release Skinny Dip)
C- would be willing to arrange some sorta deal to buy and ship to me (and earn a little commission on the side?)

Of course, if there's anything from down here in the sunshine state I can find for you in return, I'd be glad to do it.


If not - what's your favorite brew that only a few in the world know about? Mine is the aforementioned Skinny Dip, but also Fat Tire Ale (also by New Belgium).

[Frizzo the Clown]

I get New Belgium here. I'm not sure how many varities though. I know we have at least Fat Tire (which I've had and quite enjoy). I'm sure there are others if I really look. I can look and see if we have Skinny Dip.

[Drakon]

Mmm...alcohol.

I've not drank in a while, come to think of it.

[bbf2]

I might have a few sips of somethign, but I've never gotten drunk. Never have, never will.









That's what I used to say before I came to college.

[Knerys]

Not mush of a beer drinker honestly. just give me something striaght. :p


though I have had Fat Tire. Not bad. If I was in colorado I know we have both. Here they never heard of it. :(

[Boro]

I'm not sure if we have it here. Maybe Jibs knows?


Anyways, Spotted Cow for the win!

Beer sucks!




Vodka all the way!

[Drakon]

This seems like as good a place as any to ask [and forgive me, Pixi, for taking your thread hostage]. Has anyone had that Mint flavoured Bailey's Irish Creme? How does it taste? Is it really minty or what?

[chewie]

I just went up to the liquor store to buy some beer and noticed they had:
Flat Tire
Sunshine
Springboard

Thanks - let me know what you find out.

That means you'll probably get Skinny Dip soon - Springboard is the spring seasonal brew, the Skinny Dip is summer. Let me know if it pops up and you're interested in working out a domestic distribution ring for one person :)

Sam Adams has some good varieties. You might give them a look, pixi. I've never heard of New Belgium Brews. I'll give them a try if I come across them. I'm more of a rum and wine lover, but I like beer. Hooray Beer! :)

That sounds like it could be the yummiest flavor ever, or the most disgusting think to ever cross your tongue. But I'd like to try it.

[Frizzo the Clown]

I've been a little busy the past few days, but I promise I'll take a look for you this weekend.

Eh - I've given Sam Adams a go. There's something about the New Belgium beers that's just cleaner and crisper in my opinion. But yes, like you - I'm not a religious beer drinker... maybe that's why I'm so picky when it does come to the occasional beer I drink.

[Angelixx]

did you know that if you pour vodka on your feet it'll remove all foot odour?

discovery channel told me so. i thought it was interesting. and then i got really pissed at the person who wasted vodka by pouring it on their ****ing feet instead of drinking it.

[Oliver Queen]

I'm pretty sure we have it here Pixi. I'll go check shortly

So is the Skinny Dip what you want then?

Love the hocus pocus label - what does it taste like?

[Ramplate]

it's a cloudy wheat beer. Light tasting and lightly carbonated. Its a summer beer with a little different taste that's kind of hard to put your finger on but it goes down easy.

Magic Hat is a micro brewery in Burlington VT that always tries to do something a little different.

I think theiir biggest year round seller is #9

I like this label too but unfortunately it is not being made at this time

[Steve from Indy]

^ LOL That's cool. I wonder if Leeroy drinks beer?

Btw, Sam Adams Cream Stout is pretty good. Their beers are hit and miss. But overall I'd say they make good beer.

[Ramplate]

I like J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown

New Belgium Brewery is about an hour and a half away from where I live. I've been wanting to go on a brewery tour since I turned 21, and 2 years later haven't gotten around to it yet. My buddies go all the time and I always seem to miss out.

When I read the title of your thread my first thought was Fat Tire. New Belgium is one of my favorite brands.

[Darth Maul]

well i don't know about Belgium beer its good but i love Pacifico but this is my fav beer.

I like the funky Heineken bottle with the cap that can go back on.

Also, cool Stella glass.

And my good friend stella
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
‘Cause she says man he ain’t no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling London (LONDON…)
None of us hear her coming
I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out.

I wish Matt's Premium Lager was still around here - you could open it up and stick it in the fridge and it wouldn't even be flat the next day.
Darn good beer - crisp, clean tasting.

I like to grab a Heinie too, and and wrap my hands around a..

We get all the New Belgum flavors here in Austin. Fat tire is one of my resturant regulars. I tried the Skinny Dip last week, it is good. I like Shiner Bock (Brewed in Shiner Texas, 90 miles from Austin). You should be able to get it in some parts of Florida. I know that it is available in North and Mid Florida. If possible try the limited edition Shiner 98 (Shiner turns 100 in 2009 and has been producing numbered batches for the last several years), it kicks much butt.

[shained]

haha saw hooch somewhere in this thread, i havnt seen that in years used to drink it when i was a kid.

My favourite beer is Carling then its Carlsberg

[Ramplate]

When I was a teenager we used to drink Hoffenreffer - it came in these big green Listerine type bottles and had picture puzzles on the inside of the cap.

We used to call it the "Green Death" because it was poor tasting, cheap, and would knock you on your @$$ if you drank two of them or more.
I drank three of them one night before a school dance and I don't know how I made it past the teacher at the door.

Sounds like Buckfast, but that's a cheap wine that teenagers drink.

Very nice! tst tst how much?


jk.. nice pic, was that Halloween or costume day at work?

[Drakon]

Is that, in fact, her royal Pixiness herself?

[Steve from Indy]

Is that, in fact, her royal Pixiness herself?

That's her. I think her real name must be Gwen, or Olga, or maybe even Elsa. But whatever it is, she can serve me a tall one anytime. :)

[Ramplate]

Oh great, now I have to mop up all the drool on the floor

[pixiness]

Yes it's me. It was last Halloween. And despite what looks may indicate I don't have a name of Nordic decent. :)

[Drakon]

It's nice to have a face to the name. :)

[Ramplate]

Would you drink this beer?
http://www.peaktalk.com/archives/santasbutt.jpg

[JBond]

Does it have alcohol in it?

[Ramplate]

Does it have alcohol in it?

yup

[ZombieMan]

[bbf2]

Does it have alcohol in it?

What....else could it have in it? :eek:

[Where's my elephant?]

Beer sucks!




Vodka all the way!

I hear you. To me, it's just club soda with alcohol. My sweet tooth needs attention, damnit! LOL Give me those malt liquors and wine coolers like Smirnoff and Bartles/Jaymes anyday.

Personally though, I love the Club Mudslide. :D That is delicious.
