Just a good ole Saranac Adriondack Trail Mix 6 pack tonight, really like the APA they make.

I was actually looking for a 6er of Saranac yesterday, couldn't find it so I got a 4 pack of Brooklyns.

Bought a bottle of Asahi Super Dry today. Japanese beer. Pretty nasty.

But made up for it by getting a six pack of Peg Leg, 'bout to start working on it.

Holy ****ing ****. That picture makes me want to cry. The only beer I've ever had, let alone seen there is the Nugget Nectar. That stuff is absolutely amazing. The Southern Tier Imp Choklat has some kind of classy portion of a chocolate bar on its label. That seems like it'd be pretty tasty.

Well they came from Virginia so they are available to you. The Choklat is amazing. Can't praise it enough. So far I've loved al the Soutern Tier stuff I've been sent. The KBS (Kentucky Bourbon Stout) is also fantastic. Very limited release I think though so keep your eyes peeled.

I was craving a guiness and grabbed a duece from the store. Got home and realized it was the extra stout. Definitely not as good as the regular guiness IMO.... My craving has gone unfulfilled damn it....

Ouch that's a huge difference! A dry Irish ale and a rip your face off hoppy train wreck blech!

Not to rub it in or anything but I was unpacking from my DC trip and found a Guinness nitro can that my cousin had slipped into the trunk of my car.

I know there are different types of Guiness, but I thought they only sell the draught cans and bottles of Guiness Stout in the US. Learn something new everyday.

I like Guinness Extra Stout. It's too expensive, but I can muster up the cash every so often. That said, I'll never buy Guinness Draught again. Even with the nitro it feels flat and watered down, maybe it's just me.

[GoSkins561]

What am I missing here, don't all Guiness(in the US) bottles say "Guiness Extra Stout"?

I couldn't agree more.

Build Strong Bones With … Beer?

Scientists say the dietary silicon in beer boosts bone density, and moderate consumption might help fight osteoporosis.......

.....The researchers tested 100 commercial beers for their silicon content — Nero Wolfe would have been proud — and categorized the data according to the brews’ source and style. They found that beers with high amounts of malted barley and hops have the most silicon......

Beer, Women and Silicon....That sounds like a good time

While admittedly a real Guinness draught is superior to a nitro can or bottle, it must be remembered that Guinness is in line with the Irish Dry Stout; from our friends over at beeradvocate.com

One of the most common stouts, Dry Irish Stout tend to have light-ish bodies to keep them on the highly drinkable side. They're usually a lower carbonation brew and served on a nitro system for that creamy, masking effect. Bitterness comes from both roasted barley and a generous dose of hops, though the roasted character will be more noticeable. Examples of the style are, of course, the big three, Murphy's, Beamish, and Guinness, however there are many American brewed Dry Stouts that are comparable, if not better.

And believe it or not Guinness Draught only has 125 calories per bottle.
