Pretty decent flavor for a light beer, with a different finish... I grabbed a 12 pack too. I know I've been saying it a lot, but heavier craft beers are destroying me. Since I can't quit them, I've been drinking them in moderation and drinking these low cal/carb beers on the weekend (when I'm planning on having more than one). I thought the Oro was decent, but I like Corona Premiere a little better. Yeah, it's like debating which bottled water I like more, but I'm getting old. On a side note, my wife is a little bit of a health nut, so she's been monitoring her glucose levels with a patch and app for the last few weeks. The biggest spike of anything she's consumed to date came after she drank a hazy IPA. lol. Interestingly enough, just drinking a regular IPA didn't seem to have as much of an effect on her glucose levels. No wonder those hazies and bourbon barrel stouts force me into a nap, which I wake from up with a monster headache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have granddaughter coming down from Madtown for the weekend and she'll be bringing a case. Actually have 3-4 people who either live in Wisconsin, or travel there regularly, and they always bring me a case. Wonder if/when the folks in New Glarus will open up marketing like Coors/Olympia did back in the day, or like Yuengling did more recently? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of jokes about someone ordering Two Women and Totally Naked. Spotted Cow is their best seller. A nice summer beer. Link below has all listed, including the seasonal Staghorn Octoberfest.

The best IPA that I have ever found, was at Menards, in the 2x4x12' isle. suck on the end of a fresh cut piece of pine and it's like the best hops ever. The best part, you can still go build something with it later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 I love a good piney West Coast IPA, with a nice crisp bite. But I also love a fluffy, malty amber with notes of caramel. And a syrupy, toffee Belgian. Or a peppery, biscuity ESB. I'll defend bitter, hoppy beers, but I'll also agree they take up way too much space in the market. Love me a good IPA, or even a well balanced DIPA like Daredevil's Rip Cord, but these days when I'm browsing for something new my eyes mostly glaze over past all the IPAs. Especially now that the weather's about to turn. Fall is the time for roasty brews. Like schwarzbiers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has some ice cream and oats in it. It’s made by Our Lady of Perpetual Hops in New Albany. My girlfriend loves fruited sours.

Maedhros Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 On 7/22/2023 at 8:47 AM, Maedhros said: I bought tickets to a different sort of beer festival. It's called Hops and Coaster Drops and takes place at Indiana Beach. It closes to the public for the festival, but the rides are still open and available while samples are being served. Sounds like a risky combination but I'm excited to give it a try. Went to this over the weeked. I haven't been on a roller coaster in over 15 years, but I'm pleased to say that even now in my 40s they're still a blast. Getting to experience them with beverages at a 21+ only event makes it even better! I thought the setup was really great, all the vendors were spaced well throughout the park. It was neat to see several homebrew groups there as well, something I don't always see at these festivals. The homebrewers had some of my favorite beers of the day, the only disappointment is I can't just go out and buy some more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
