Cant wait for your reaction to Deviant Dales and ten fiddy. I've only had Deviant Dales on tap, it was pretty good.

Had Ted Fiddy once - i hated it. It's also pretty expensive, i think $18 for a 6 pack near me.

That's about $3 a beer, pretty good deal when you think about it like that. I'd pay $2 more for a superior beer to BL or something at a bar. Plus when I think about me spending $12 on a Speedway Bomber, $18 for a 6er seems like a good deal.

When you can get a decent 6 pack for 9-12 bucks, 18 is a little much. Especially when it's $3 per can, not even $3 per pint.

Those are bombers. Not growlers. ;)

GREAT CHOICE on the Southern Tier IPA. Magic Hat is solid. Never heard of that last one.

LOL. The last one is not too bad. Typical SA, good but not the best out there.

Overall good choices ETB. No one ever said good beer is cheap. Oops I take that back, sleeper might have said it.

Boris is correct.

It can also resemble a "jug."



The biggest distinction between a bomber and a growler is that a bomber is about a standard wine bottle size (750 mL), while a growler holds a half gallon (about 2.5 times as big as a bomber).

The bomber in the image above is from the Buckeye Lake Brewery, which I frequent any time I'm in the Buckeye Lake/Heath/Newark area. They have a solid IPA and a decent stout (a little thinner than I like, but it tastes good), and you can get a growler filled for $12 if you bring back the jug. I forget how much it is the first time.

I guess I consider that cheap, given the volume, so maybe sleeper's right. You can get good beer for cheap. :D

I hit that place up frequently. I like the IPA as well. I thought there stout was a good effort. Littler Meranda is a hotty.

Here is my full assessment on the beer:

Pretty good!!! If you like smoked beers, this one does not disappoint!! Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a pint glass. Hazy amber/reddish color, aroma of smoked beer and bready and caramel malts.

Taste is good. The smokiness has a meat or fish quality about it like so many of the better smoked beers. The smokiness is most apparent before the beer warms up. Still a good smoky beer but the bready malts and caramel malts become more prominent, closer to room temp.

Mouthfeel is fairly rich. not much alcohol presence for a beer so high in abv.

Overall, pretty rich and tasty. Would go great with cheese and snack foods.
