Leinies has a new and very limited run of Big Eddy - Russian Imperial Stout..

Holy Hannah!! It makes Creamy Dark look like distilled water.. Black, HEAVY, molassasy-carmel stuff with foam stiff enough you could sleep on it.. With 9.5 alcohol content!! I had ONE glass yesterday and thought I'd downed a six-pack of CD...

Anyway - for those who desire the darker brews - beware.. It's AWESOME stuff but very limited.. If you like it - get it while ya can...

Wish I knew where I could find it! Will look around.

I love Yuenglings "Black and Tan" but can't find it anywhere here in Michigan!

Don't see ANY Leinies beers down here.

Good to know Redneck. I'll look for it tonight.

For you guys with beer problems. You should really talk to the manager of your local grocery store. It's rare that I can't get just about any beer out there. Regardless of where I've lived. Most managers are very accomodating.

Travis

Just sent a co-worker a message to look for some Big Eddy as he went to Wisconsin to visit family.

Also have some Yuengling Black and Tan coming from PA!

Might be good on ice cream! That isn't my kind of beer, though.




Going to get some blue labels




and some green ones





Maybe some of this too



Beer is God's way of saying that He loves us!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll look for some at the Piggly-Wiggly after work tonight.

I know I sound like a vag...but I'll take Coors Original or Bud heavy/light any day over that dark crap. I drink my coffee black, but dark beer just tastes like $hit to me.

I have no idea what $hit tastes like!

Me too, but I have a feeling your 'black' coffee will be quite weak when comparted to mine.. When I make black coffee, it's close to what Big Eddy's like I've found that most people who gravitate towards the darker/heavier stuff tend to be at the upper end of middle age or older.. At (almost) 62, I'm THERE...

LMAO.. Touche!!

I'm 22 and thinking I need to try some big eddy. I like creamy dark and a bunch of different micro brewed porters and stouts from our state. Fireside nut brown might be my favorite though.

Good man.. Let us know how you like it..

Thanks Redneck!! You are a gentleman and beer scholar!!

Some years ago I bought a 6 pack of Storm Bringer an Imperial stout. Did'nt look at the bottles just had a few while doing some house chores. Woke up on the floor around 11pm. Later noted 10.5% on the bottle. Should have looked into that earlier.

Big Eddy's huh? I doubt I'll find it here in mayberry north but I'll look for it anyways.

Lee - do you use sugar in your coffee?

Say it aint so Lee....

Most exotic brew up there is Old Vienna.

I'll have to look for it. Really enjoyed the Leine "dark and creamy" when I was up that way in Oct.

30 here and prefer the dark stuff.

I'm partial to the white lable, and if one want's a liquid meal, the smoked porter is pretty good stuff.

Woodmans has it 10.89 for 4 just an fyi.

we've had Yuengling Black & Tan accessible in our area for about a year.

good Americn made beer, it's not a bad thing.

No sirree Bob.. I like my coffee like I like my wimmen - HOT AND BLACK.. Er, uh, mebbe I should rephrase dat..


Here's some info on this stuff:

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/710/39334

Beware - your toes might curl up after a coupla brews.. Hehehehee..

redneck, you can have my share. I'll stick to a clean, light lager.

And you'll never have to worry about me hogging yours.. Hehehehe..

I like those too, if you mean something like these:

RN: Thanks for the heads up on the stout. Perfect for winter. Have a good holiday. Boyd45

No problem... Always like to share info on good beer.. Best of the holidays to you also sir..

Neither do I but I sure enjoy a Guiness Draft and am a regular Amber Bock drinker.

T LEE drinks black coffee, the stronger the better, NO additives thank you very much. I LOVE Cafe' Cubano when I get the chance for the real deal at a Cuban restaurant that makes it the traditional way and can down several cups at a setting.

Just wondering since you like the sweeter beers.

The stuff from Cameraland is good too!

I guess I don't consider Creamy Dark, Guinness or Big Eddy's to be sweet..

I don't know of a beer I'd call sweet.. Never thought about it I guess..

We'd get along famously no doubt. Until we were down to the last beer....


Travis

Publix usually carries Leinenkugels, T.

I can get all the Black & Tan ya want.

No there's two great beers!

I just got back from the store. Pantry is now filled for the holiday weekend with:

Paulaner Pils
Czechvar Pils
Hacker Pschorr Munchen Gold
Zipfer Lager
Warsteiner Premium
Radeberger Pils
Sam Adams Boston Lager
Bass Ale

What! Nothing for the guests?

I've got

Pilsner Urquell
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Sierra Nevada Celebration 2010
Anchor Humming
Sam Adams Latitude 48
Paulaner Oktoberfest

and maybe a couple I'm forgetting.

Two 12'ers of Bass Ale are for the guests.

Bass Ale goes very well with a good sausage pizza.. Mmmm mmmmm..

Haven't seen it in Punta Gorda, guess I better look again.

Quality choices.

Tell me about the Anchor Humming?

Bought an extra 12 of Amber Bock for the gang tomorrow. Small gang that it is.

I see it in a couple of the Publix here, but it very well may not be in yours. Just like most of the Publix around here carry Czechvar, except the one nearest me.

It's all relative of course, but I mean relative to IPAs and ESBs.

Two glasses and no blood spilled!

IPA's are good if you like beer that taste like a pine cone smells.

Big Eddy has some of that pine hoppy flavor to it but not like an IPA.

Those are not the "good" IPAs. The good ones taste like God himself wanted beer to taste!

Red Neck,
I'm headed to Palmdale, Calif next week for my youngest son's Air Force retirement ceremony and party. I just emailed him to pick up some of that Big Eddy for me. I'll let you know what I think about it at that time, I'm a Becks beer person, but like to try others.
Butch

Well I tried man but the closest I could find is leinenkugels fireside nut brown.

And I like it.

It's an Aug-Nov seasonal ale, closer to Liberty Ale than to Steam. It uses Nelson Sauvin hops in enough quantity to provide big bitterness.

Thats never a bad way to go.

Interesting. I am a big Liberty Ale fan but can't always find it here.

Son called back from Calif. Said we were out of luck. Only available in Wisconsin, Minnesota area.
Butch

that is some good stuff too. Having some smuggled into WY next week!

try grain belt premium-it tasts very sweet,dont care for it myself.

I've been drinking Sam Adams Latitude 48 lately too. Good stuff. Pretty hoppy, but not in an over the top way like some of the currently fashionable IPAs.

I sure as hell won't arm wrestle you for it....


Travis

Couldn't have said it any better.

You know, that's one beer that I just don't care for...

I found out our local liquor shop was 'alloted' only four cases on Nov. 11th.. They were GONE by the 17th... DAMMITALL...

Well, I'll just have to mosey on down to the local joint and drink up till it's gone.. I think he got just ONE keg.. This stuff is about as rare as chicken's teeth..

I gotta contact Leinies and plead.. You're kidding, right??
