Beer of the Week

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

So this weeks beer is from Ninkasi Brewing.

It's called Spring Reign ale. It's a seasonal offering so get it while it's around!

It's quite good.

Hoppy and floral but with a touch of sweetness

Also this can be a thread about beer

Bear is LGBT slang for those in the bear communities, a subculture in the gay/bisexual male communities and an emerging subset of LGBT communities with events, codes and culture-specific identity. It also describes a physical type.

Bears tend to have hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set; some project an image of working-class masculinity in their grooming and appearance, though none of these are requirements or unique indicators. Some bears place importance on presenting a hypermasculine image and may shun interaction with, and even disdain, men who exhibit effeminacy. The bear concept can function as an identity, an affiliation, and an ideal to live up to, and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear, however a consensus exists that inclusion is an important part of the Bear Community.

Bears are almost always gay or bisexual men, although increasingly transgender men (transmen) and those who shun labels for gender and sexuality are also included within bear communities.

On September 1, 2007, in a live interview called "The TrekTrak Show" with Star Trek: The Next Generation actors Jonathan Frakes (Riker), Brent Spiner (Data) and Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher) at Dragon*Con, host Eric L. Watts (who self-identifies as a Bear) asked Frakes if he was aware that he was "something of an icon in the Bear community."

Chico has found his groove.

Chico does this mean I can be a straight bear if I wish to throw aside aside traditional roles!

My local grocery has a pretty shitty beer selection, but I'll take a look.

I live a few blocks away from a beer room with over 700 kinds of beer. How do you live, Sheri?

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

I want 700 kinds of beer

Drew-B

I come from a small bumfuck town of 6,000...and what do you know, they had beer from my hometown's brewery in stock. It was mind blowing.

Zephos

I had a banana bread beer last weekend... it was very good tasting, then after your drink... when you breathed out it tasted like banana's....


it was a pretty amazing thing.

EskimoDave

I had an Orval, along with 2 beers from Dieu Du Ciel, tonight.

Woo! Wine! Yeah!

Apparently Boulevard Brewery will come out with their own pilsner in May. I'm weirdly excited for it.

I'm also just getting into beer drinking and could not identify "hoppy" flavors and when I read that the porter I was drinking had a strong chocolate flavor I was like UH NAH. l2beer I guess.

Zephos

i do LOVE a good Riesling, but other than that i'm not much of a wine person.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

I was thinking about getting some Strongbow tonight.

But the Ninkasi was cheaper

Zonugal

Sheri, what's a good/cheap wine you'd recommend towards someone beginning their journey into wine?
Mind you when I say cheap I mean something a college student could pick up at Safeway/Albertsons.

Lately I've switched from Guinness, my winter staple beer, to Blue Moon or Shock Top as my summer beer. Though theres some good local stuff (the stuff out of Bloomington and the stuff out of Munster are all good) I usually don't stray too much. Also my fall beer is Woodchuck.

Though I guess if we do a new beer every week I'll give it a shot.

I really want to try Yinglings, I've heard nothing but good stuff about it, but you can only get it in Ohio, Kentucky, Pennslyvania, and southern Indiana.

The Black Hunter

Bought a case of peroni


It's a regular beer

just a very nice regular beer

I think Wild Blue Blueberry Beer is pretty good for something new and inciting.

I went out for dinner last week and had a fantastic oatmeal stout that I can't remember the name of. I'll just have to raid BevMo of all the oatmeal stouts!
