Thats cheep! Out of the typical 4 or so grocery stores I typically visit, I think only one I have seen the Torpedo available in 12-pack and I have yet to see it in stock. I think the sticker was $15.99
I really like their Arrogant Bastard. I wasn't as fond of the Ruination IPA, but I just got on their website and I didn't realize they had so many different "flavors". They apparently have a Lucky Bastard Ale that I really want to try now. Man I have a weakness for trying beers with funny names.
Last night was Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA. This is one of few IPAs recently that I really do like! Perhaps even more so than Torpedo. A touch stronger at 9% too, which I like since I usually just have 1 beer. Problem is its double the cost, I think I paid 10 or 12 bucks for a 4 pack. This will be more of a special occasion beer for me at that price.
Yeah I kind of like its piney note. But after the Torpedo the regular Pale Ales seem watered down to me now.
I had the Stone IPA recently and wasnt thrilled about it. Thats with the green outlines and the white demon thing at the top right? Mine had a bad metallic aftertaste to it. Maybe it was just a bad batch but I was glad I just got 1 in my mix n match pack. If thats not normal I'll try another later.
I think it is 5 something here for the same bottle. Seems a bit ridiculous priced which is why I don't get to drink it very much. Maybe when I go to this other store here today I'll look and see if/what selection they may have of Stone. I really would like to try their other beers.
Really? I've never seen a sixer of any Stone product. Maybe I'll go to trader joes today and see if they still carry it, and while I'm at it pick up a few cheap bottles of wine for the wifey.
I have a friend who swears by Ommengang, but that stuff is expensive. Maybe for the holidays, or after my wife has bought some new shoes so she can't complain I just dropped that kind of money on something I'm going to piss out in a few hours.
I have a bottle of thier Three Philosophers in the cupboard. Never tried it, but at $9 I think it was, I am waiting for a special occasion. But hey, I spend that much on wine all the time, its just a different style brew.
True enough, but with a wife and kids, discretionary income has vanished, so I drink my wine out of a box during the week (Vella 5-liter boxes aren't too bad, and it works out to about $2.50-70 a bottle), but on Friday night I get something in the 7-12 dollar range to go with my steak. The Barefoot wines are good, and often on special. My current fav is the Petite Sirah by McManis. I got a bunch for $9.99 a bottle.
You should try Fat Bastard or Pinot Evil if you ever see them. They are both in the $7-9 range and are fantastic. They are both reds, but I can't remember exactly what kind of red they are.
Going to be hanging out with friends tomorrow and listening to two of their latest music projects. Might have to pick up some Ommegang on the way, to go with the interactive software . . .
