Lagunitas' Little Sumpin' Extra.

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/220/52077/

I ordered a pint of this, tasted it, and exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is a great beer."

It is. It really is. Drink it.

Got a 6 pack of this from Trader Joe's the other day, sitting in my fridge nice and cold for tomorrow (Friday is designated drinking day).  Looking greatly forward to it.

Lagunitas IPA is pretty darn good too.

Untapped is a good app for this sort of thing. As for beers, I highly recommend Killian's Irish Red. Local liquor store (in Central Square) sells it for like $7/6pk, and it's great.

Untapped is an amazing app.  Especially when you start racking up the friends and see what they're drinking. 

Anyone had Sculpin IPA?  Seriously, one of the best IPAs I've ever had.  98 on Beer Advocate.

Scuplin does some amazing stuff. I tried their Indra Kunindra on tap a few weeks back. It's an Indian Export Stout, with madras curry, coconut, cumin, and kaffir lime. It was wonderful. If you see it, and think you might like to try it, do so. It's like no other stout I've ever had.

You weren't kidding.  Little Sumpin' Extra is great beer.  Kicking back after a stressful day at work and enjoying it immensely.  I got 5 more plus 2 leftover Lagunitas IPAs = a good drunken Friday.  Only thing that's missing is a Celtics game.

Highly recommend this beer.

That sounds amazing. I'd love to try that with a fairly hot curry.

Unfortunately I live in a lager wasteland (Canary Islands) so not much chance of that any time soon.

Said it before, but my new, 'You won't fall over but it's a nice lil thing goin on there' IPA is Peaks Organic IPA.

It has it all. Value (comin in hot at less than $10 a six pack in NY). East Coast bias. A respectable 7.1% ABV. It's organic so it's good for you. Probably lose weight drinking it.

St. Bernardus Abt 12. Best beer I've ever had, hands down. It was pretty pricey though. Imported from Belgium.

Love two-hearted ale. Just loves it.

Tore thru the sizer of Lagunitas Little Sumpin. Great beer. As most of their beers are. Working on a LomgmTrail IPA now. Meh. Not bad, but I do like a good hoppy flavorful IPA and this isn't in that category.

Side note: I was in Stockholm recently for a conference. Biggest thing on the beer scene there? Brooklyn lager. It's on draft or in can  at all the fancy places. Um, hello Stockholm, there is MUCH better beer available from the USA.

USA has pretty much cornered the market on non-traditional beers, American IPA being in the forefront.

Vacationing in York Maine at the end of August I discovered SOME Brewing company. They rotate their beers regularly and have some pretty good ones.

My favorites being:

Whoopie Pie Ale - Mile Stout w/ cocoa bean and vanilla 6+%
Crystal Persuasion - Double Pale Ale 8.5%
Maple Blueberry Crystal Persuasion

Looking forward to going back and trying Cinnamon Toast Ale.

Yes. I'm a complete patriot on this point.

Lol. Beer names are hipstery as all he'll nowadays.

Let's play a game: beer names at your own brewery.

The Tom: My IPA
The Fat Tom: My DIPA/Imperial
Angry Fat Tom: Black DIPA
Bogie: My Stout
The Double Bogie: My imperial Stout
Ol Red: Irish Red
A Nice Old Fashioned: American Ale, but just a sneaky sessionable IPA
