32 oz growler, Ale Yeah!, Decatur, GA, USA. An Allagash Belgian Strong Dark Ale with a Christmas twist that I've never had before?? Yep, that's an absolute no-brainer. Great pour with a tremendous head with some lovely retention and lace. Chestnut...
32 oz growler, Cherie Armand, Villa Rica, GA, USA (used the Hop City growler). If anyone can do a Belgian Pale outside of Belgium, Ommegang can. Disappointing appearance if I am honest, a lemon, hazy body and a head that is not great. Fades badly....
64 oz growler courtesy of John Rybicki, brewer. Nice looking black pour with a few brownish/red highlights. Head is modest and leaves no lace. Small collar and thin film are retained. This is a very nice beer. Simple is the key. Some nice chocolate...
32 oz Growler courtesy of brewer, John Rybicki. Very dark pour, almost black to the naked eye, but with reddish brown highlights when held up to the light. Head is solid, lace better than average and some spotty retention with a tea colored collar....
32 oz growler, Growlers, Hilton Head Island, SC. Opened 8 days after purchase. unusually long for me to sit on a growler, but the pop on opening is absolutely fine, and the carbonation seems 100% in order. Orange pour. Looks quite viscous, and the...
Brick Mason Series #5. 32 oz growler. Pour is a nice mid-amber body with tremendous clarity. Head better than expected. a light film forma across the beer with some modest lace. Nose has obvious liquor but it feels in check. Tastes do the same...
32 oz growler from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. Here's a note at Jailhouse's website. Very clear, quite highly carbonated, golden body with a lot of clarity. This is very 'light' in terms of appearance and color in the glass. Very modest, bubbly head...
32 oz growler from AleYeah! Roswell in September, and then about six weeks or so later, as a 32 oz growler from JUGS in Sandy Springs. Most of these thoughts are from the initial growler fill, with supplemental additions on part 2. Part of the...
Delighted to see a Berliner Weisse. Not really that I'm an especially big fan of the style, but high quality beer of any type under 5.0% ABV is just so difficult to come by in the USA, that almost anything is welcome. 32 oz growler from Hop City,...
Very light, straw colored pour. Actually the beer is incredibly pale, almost to macro, low quality standards. Not necessarily an issue, but it really isn't the best looking pilsner that I've seen by quite some distance. The hue is certainly not the...
I'm always very excited to try the latest Jailhouse offering, and this is no exception. I wonder if the pun inspired the beer, or if the style came first? 32 oz growler from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Bière de Gardes can have a wide range of...
Growler from Growlers in Hilton Head, SC, USA. Aroma is very fragrant and floral as soonas the growler is popped. A slightly hazed, tremendous golden color with an nice head initially. Bone white with a little lace. The aroma is slightly rye based,...
32 oz growler from Hop City rather than a can from the 16 oz, tallboy 4-packs. Official word on the beer from Oskar Blues. Shiny copper colored pour with some decent white, sticky lace. Nicely put together as expected, with requisite lace for an...
Having had this from the can several months ago but I wanted to refrain from reviewing it until I could at least get the kegged version (given that I was pretty sure that I'm never likely to see the cask presentation here in the US). Patience, and...
32 oz growler from The Beer Growler in Avondale Estates, GA, USA. I was delighted that the folks at The Beer Growler were happy to swap my 64oz growler for the 32 oz one that they were selling Eschaton, in. I was anticipating having to purchase a...
I wrote these original notes on August 11th, 2011. It's my understanding that the Monday Night Brewing beers first saw an unofficial light of day at a special event at Leon's in Decatur, GA a few months ago. I wasn't there and didn't have a chance...
Not too often one sees a wheatwine so it's always a beer that I'm interested in. Some fairly conflicting information regarding the ABV here. I've read (and heard) everything between the low 7's and 10 (Untappd has 7.6%, beeradvocate 10% and...
Poured from the Hop City growler it is a beautiful, brown garnet look with a creamy looking, off-white head. It really looks substantial, has excellent clarity and is impressive in terms of its presence. Bold looking beer that says 'come and have a...
32oz growler courtesy of Joey as part of a care package from the brewery. Beer pours a very cloudy, chocolate brown color with a very, very modest head. Lace is minimal. In stronger light the beer takes on more orange hues. Doesn’t look especially...
Pictured at The Lodge, HHI, SC, USA, 06/19/16 Original notes 04/10/10 OK, here we go with the much vaunted Boy King from COAST. I got really lucky as my wife was in Hilton Head when the Boy King was tapped at The Lodge - one growler = $19. Growler...
Many thanks to DrDogBeer for the chance to try this as part of 2009 Secret Santa. Shared at The Brick Store. Pour is a fairly standard, mid-chocolate brown color with a better than expected head. Retention and lace are OK, not great, but OK. Nose...
Thanks go out to Scott for bringing this one back from TN. Cheers Bud. The beer looks great. Large, off-white head with some serious red highlights and good density of color. Nose gives the vanilla as expected but quite reserved. Plenty of vanilla...
22 oz bomber courtesy of Grant via Bierkraft. Must have been filled from a tap, so I guess this could be classified as a growler fill. The appearance is unusual for a Quad. It is very orange. Clouded body and a decent amount of head, lace and...
64 oz growler sourced at Charleston Beer Exchange, Charleston, SC, USA. Pour is a very pale, slightly hazed macro lager, yellowish color. Looks like a slightly watered down Duvel and lacks the large, fluffy head and retention and lace that one...
750 mL wine bottle bomber from Laura Alberts, Charleston, SC, USA. $7.50 for the mini-growler/bomber/wine bottle. Another of my favorite styles from another of my favorite brewers. Pour is a very distinct, clear golden body with a small amount of...
64 oz growler from Bruisn' Ales. Thanks J & J. Opens with an encouraging release of gas with a loud "pphhtt"! Crystal clear, light golden pour with a very nice head. Some decent lace as well. Carbonation is on the high side, but completely in line...
Well, it took a LONG time to get this; I've been admiring this beer from afar for several years and today I got the chance to finally try it. Huge thanks to Grant for the opportunity to crack this one as a shared growler with many of the usual...
Growler from Charleston Beer Exchange, Charleston, SC, USA, shared with a few at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA as part of the regular Friday afternoon informal tastings. Pour is a completely clear, paler than macro yellow body with a wispy,...
64 oz growler poured by Jaime herself at the brewery. Shared with the usual suspects at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA on a Friday afternoon. Pretty standard "black as night" pour with a small mocha colored head. Lace is small and settles to a...
Many thanks go out to Grant for the opportunity to try this one at one of the usual Friday afternoon Brick Store gatherings (NOT at the tasting on 1/10, the day before with about three or four of us present). 64oz growler, one of the last from...
Delighted to get this in a recent trade with Brad007. Sparing the details, he went to a lot of trouble to get this to me so major thanks go out to him. Delighted to have the opportunity. Thanks man! 32 oz mini-growler. I like the smaller size....
Thanks to kp for sharing this one. Flat looking pour which lacks any head, and there is no retention or lace to speak of. Very light colored pour with a light, golden orange note. The nose is by FAR the most interesting element to this brew. As...
Thanks go out to Grant for sharing this one a The Brick Store yesterday afternoon. Right off the top those RR growlers are just superb to look at! For me, that's where the joy sort of ends. I think it is difficult to even consider the American Wild...
Many thanks go out to Brad007 for the chance to try this one. The 32 oz mini-growler is a great presentation. The first time I've seen it but I like the idea very much. Dirty brown, cloudy pour with a really good, ivory colored head. The lace (or...
Many thanks go out to BA stopbarking for a chance to try this one. Half-gallon, well sealed, screw-top growler with the "Draught House Pub and Brewery" advertised on the clear glass in white lettering. From what I have read from the other reviews,...
Took home a growler of this after trying a few at the brewpub. Pale Orange body with a slight chill haze type appearance. Head is high and gives amazingly good lace. VERY good looking. Nose and tastes are of that of an IPA rather than a Pale Ale....
Thanks to Rustydiamond, via mikesgroove, for the chance to have a crack at this one. 64 oz growler. Attractive design on the glass. Pour shows a great, jet black pour (as expected), but a rather too fizzy a head. Carbonation seems high for the...
Many thanks to Lance for sharing the Growler. Shared at The Brick Store with a few of the usual suspects. Poured into the tulip, the body is jet black with a nice mocha head. At first the aroma and taste are both simply solvent like - very strong...
Thanks to zrrbrrt for the trade. Been waiting on this one for sometime, and he did me proud. 64 oz of pure hoppy pine! Light amber/orange color with absolute clarity with some light carbonation. A few bubbles but not much. Huge frothy head with...
Thanks go out to feloniousmonk for the 64oz growler. Mid-orange pour with an attractive head that fades a little but with better than average lacing. Initial tastes are very fruity - peachy, bubble gum, light floral notes, but this gives way to a...
