darksabre Posted June 10, 2016 Report Posted June 10, 2016 Oh man, lucky dog. Thats on my list for sure. Just found out theres about a 80% chance that I'm going to go to Amsterdam in the fall for work, my first trip off the continent, and my first thought was about the new types of beer I'm going to get to try.

Train to Brussels is a must. Quote
sabills Posted June 10, 2016 Report Posted June 10, 2016 That was the second thing... Train to Brussels is a must. Cool, I'll plan on it. I'm gonna be there for 10 days or something if I go, so I assume at least one of those days I won't be working, haha Quote

Bring We've some beer. Quote
sabills Posted June 11, 2016 Report Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Bring We've some beer. I'm planning on checking a second bag that just has packing material to bring beer back in. Actually, what's the rules on that? I probably won't get that threw customs, will I... Edit: Its fine through customs, worst comes to worse I have to pay a .08/liter tarriff Edited June 11, 2016 by sabills Quote
ubkev Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I drank a beer in the "non swill" category today. Bell's Oberon Ale was on tap at the place we had lunch, so i tried it. Not bad. Not sure it was worth $5.50 (seriously, I get 12 beers for that!), but it wasn't bad. Quote
sabills Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Tried out 727 Elmwood (the place where Blue Monk used to be). Meh. Taplist had a lot of local stuff, but wasn't as extensive or diverse, and the atmosphere was just dead. Granted it was a Tuesday night, but I had been at Acropolis across the street just before and that place was hopping. Still new, though. I probably wouldn't go at all if it wasn't so close to me, but I'll give it a try again when it gets more on its feet. Quote

I mean.. slam the price point but I what did a pint of Budweiser cost at the same establishment? Quote

It was a tongue in cheek poke at the $5.99 that I pay for a 12 pack of Genny Cream. I believe they were $2 domestic bottles. Edited June 22, 2016 by ubkev Quote

Claude_Verret Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 No Big Ditch reviews yet? WTF? Well I wouldn't trust your reviews at this point anyway. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Well I wouldn't trust your reviews at this point anyway. Good call. I was given free beer. Soooooo Quote

MattPie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I grabbed a 6 of Twelve Gates' West Coast IPA (out of Williamsville) last time I was in Buffalo. It's pretty good, if I were local I'd check out their tap-room. http://12gatesbrewing.com/beer/west-coast-ipa/ Edited July 18, 2016 by MattPie Quote

sabills Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) STBC One Buffalo beer is now coming in cans for anyone wants to sit on a boat and drink a beer that you'll have absolutely no opinion about. Edited July 18, 2016 by sabills Quote

sabills Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 That is exactly how I would describe One Buffalo. :lol: Its the most non-descript thing I've ever had in my life. I literally cannot describe it. It is utterly without sensation. Its so dull that its almost interesting. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Weave and I had beers there last week. I was really impressed. I had a couple of the Pilsener and a milk stout. How can you drink a stout in this weather? I need light stuff once it hits 80 and humid. Quote
darksabre Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 How can you drink a stout in this weather? I need light stuff once it hits 80 and humid. Stouts tend to be lower ABV. I like them for a closer. Quote
Weave Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Posted July 18, 2016 Weave and I had beers there last week. I was really impressed. I had a couple of the Pilsener and a milk stout. Their pilsner was a good one. And their IPA's are solid. And a good time was had by all. Quote
MattPie Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 How can you drink a stout in this weather? I need light stuff once it hits 80 and humid. d4rk is right that the low ABV helps. I used to bring Guinness cans to the Great Valley Canoe Regatta partly because it's nice beer and partly because at the time is was the best thing you could get in cans. Quote
