    I tried to brew a clone recipe of Stone's Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. It requires five pounds of specialty grain (when extract brewing... all-grain requires another 16 of two-row malt, but anyway...). The weight of this kept the nylon sack stuck to the bottom of the brewpot where, you guessed it, the nylon melted and fused with my brewpot.

    The result: threw away five pounds of delicious specialty grains, a melted nylon grain sock, and a tried-and-true brewpot. Buuuuuuummmmmmeeeeeerrrrrrrr...

    I had a beer this weekend that I've been hunting for almost 3 years now. Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. 2 hours of continuous hopping. It was heaven in a bottle.

    REAL beer all the way! My favourite at the moment is the Brooklyn Dark Chocolate Stout. Mmmhmm, and at £4.50 and 320 calories a bottle, I don't have it often.

    I cannot stand these 'beers' with rum or tequila mixed in, just have a beer and a chaser!

    Brooklyn makes some amazing beer!

    I don't care for beer at all, but I do love a nice glass of cider.

    Love me that 90-minute. I'm going to sound lame for saying this, but 120 was too hoppy and wasn't balanced enough for me. Just a personal taste thing.

    That was way too long to read. All I saw was beer, and came for the show.

    Love this thread! Beer snobs rub me the wrong way. My BF rides me all the time on Untappd. "How could you post High Life ect." The funny thing is I was the one who introduced him to mirco brews in about 1997/1998 with a trip to Quebec. Any ways, drink up! Cheer! Porters and Stouts for me this cold weekend.

    Untappd is Facebook for beer lovers. You set up a profile then check in and rate beer that you are drinking. You also get suggestions of other beer based on what you are drinking. There are also "badges" for different accomplishments achieved. Check out https://untappd.com/ I have the android app.

    Husband loves microbrews, but I'm not much of a beer drinker so the gimmicky beers are normally the only ones I will drink. I like the Pumpkin ales and the local cherry beers, but I will try a few here and there and occasionally find a few I like. We often travel and will try to visit as many microbrews as we can (in exchange, husband suffers through tours of musty mansion museums and quaint scrapbook stores... LOL).

    I know this probably doesn't belong here, but I've never been one to follow the rules anyway.

    You see I almost never have a mixed drink, because I'd rather have beer or maybe do shots.
    That said, I have finally found the mixed drink for me. A shot of Fireball poured into a glass of Apple Cider. That is all, thank you for your time and attention.

    Danger, Will Robinson! You can go through a lot of Fireball and a lot of cider that way.
