OldRUSHfan Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sapporo, Japaese beer is rice also, and that tastes like Bud Dry, so I can approximate the taste if I want.Yeah, different taste buds going on because I strongly disagree with the Sapporo and Bud Dry comparison. I'll drink Bud Dry if it's there and someone offers it but I'm seeking out Sapporo at my supermarket for purchase. Well, I haven't really HAD a Sapporo since the mid '90s, so I'm just relating my experience from then...I remember thinking is was kinda like Bud Dry, and my BFF Dave just told me it was a rice beer like Bud Dry.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mom smoked since she was 12 years old, and I figured it was that that changed her taste buds, but I found out from my own exlperience that it's just age. She started adding ungodly amounts of SALT to all of her recipes, and I couldn't eat her cooking to much anymore. :( :boo hiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager is my new favorite. After years of loving Hoppy beers, either my palate is changing, or I've got Hop Fatigue. Either way, I'm really enjoying lager style beers now. Vienna Lager and Sam Adams Boston Lager are my go to brews.Same thing happened to me when I hit 30. I can't do the hoppy beers anymore. I pretty much drink Lagers, Porters, or Stouts these days. I went off hoppy beers when I stopped smoking 16 yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Icthyosaurus IPA, aka "Icky". It's Northern Nevada's original craft beer, and a beauty. If you're ever in Reno/Sparks, hit the brewery in Victorian Square. Tell 'em Goose sent you. ;) Edited January 17, 2016 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) On a break from beer until Saturday. But oh, what a Saturday. 10th Annual Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, and #8 for me. 70+ exhibitors, mostly micro brewers or brewpub operators, and well over 200 different brews. Ambrosia in 4 ounce doses. Will try to report on the fest Sunday if I'm not too jacked up! Edited January 28, 2016 by pjbear05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Rythm Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Shlafly Pale Ale. A St. Louis beer with just the right amount of hoppiness.And happiness! :D Edited January 30, 2016 by Mystic Rythm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Follow up: The Jupiter Craft Beer Festival was a blast, as expected. Some 65 brewers/pubs/homebrew groups, and with limited releases on the hour over 200 beers. The Good: Founders brought KBS, All Day IPA, And a black IPA, all good. The Bad: Of the countless samples, only two were ground poored- a chocolate porter that tasted like it had soured, and an IPA that was way too happy for my taste. The Ugly: Goose Island. Shortest lines of the festival, and a number of verbal slings and arrows sent their way, like "traitors" and "sell outs" (over being bought by AB Inbev.) The Surprises: Ballast Point Grapefruit Sclupin-how a little citrus can improve a beer is amazing. I need to hunt down more of this. Also, Civil Society Brewing, a local from Jupiter, had a sweet stout with a hoppiness like a session IPA, very nice. Then there was Funky Buddha. Around 3:40 pm, they had two lines-one for people getting beer right then, and another for folks like me who were waiting for the 4 pm release of FB's Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. I was about 60th in a line of 300 and growing. They started right at 4, and by 4:17 they had killed the 1/8 keg . Ah, sweet, bitter, smoky. A great beer normally, but this year they knocked it out of the park. Their Nib Smuggler Chocolate Imperial Stout was another winner IMHO. All in all a beautiful festival. :hail: :hail: :hail:.
