Filled a growler with Founder's Double Trouble IPA for the Mothers Day Extravaganza I'm hosting tonight.  Hop-phobes beware.

Forgot to pick up something for the women to drink, though.  Oops.  Will have to whip up some mixed drink with what I have on hand.

Oskar Blues Gubna Imperial IPA.  From growler, served in tulip glass.  Light color, nice subtle rye flavor, good hops. 10.0% ABV.

I give it 9 spiked helmets out of 10.

Dont drink, but won a six-pack of Killians from one of the hapless Marines that work for me.

Use it to cook with. Braise some beef or add to Irish stew.  :)

I made a stew with some really dark porter beer a few weeks ago. It was delish.

Just went a little crazy at the liquor store as the prices were pretty cheap compared to standard NYC prices. Near about tore my arm off carry it all back. :blush:

I drove through NH on Wednesday and started going overboard with all the great deals, but then I realized I really didn't need to spend 400 dollars on booze just to have 15 handles of hard liquor staring at me, no matter how good the deal, so I put a bunch back.  Ended up buying a 1.75L handle of Famous Grouse for $25.00, a 3L box of Black Box wine (Pinot Grigio) for $15.00, and a large bottle of local New Hampshire dry cider for $11.00 on impulse.

With the warm weather, the stores are rolling out a lot more variety in pilsners, which I've decided is my favorite beer style, so I bought a couple of Radeberger twelve-packs and König four-packs of cans.  Drinking a 500ml can of König Pilsener right now.  Also have a couple bottles Sam Adams Noble Pils in the refrigerator from a while ago, and someone brought over a six-pack of Pilsner Urquell, so I'm floating in it right now.

Pilsener is where it is at.  I respect those who like the darker ales, but give me a quality pilsener any day.

I haven't had a lager in ages, let alone a pilsner.

Heineken, poured out of the 500ml can.  Way better than Heineken from the bottle, due to the "skunking" and whatnot.  Tallboy cans are my favorite beer container by a huge margin.  Love the 500ml Pilsner Urquell and now Stiegl cans they've had on sale nearby.  Brooklyn Lager also makes a good tallboy.  And of course Narragansett, Schlitz, etc. for your regular brew.

I'm very much a proponent of the new can-based craft brewing movement. You ever had a Caldera IPA?

Or anything from these guys: http://21st-amendment.com/ ?

The newest local brewery only sells theirs in cans.  I was skeptical until I tried it.  I still prefer bottles, but cans are more transportable & it's good to have good can options these days.
