Midas Touch is my favorite Dogfish. But I've only had two of theirs -- that and a chicory stout.osudarby08;1074515 wrote:The mere thought of "ice" beers makes me want to throw up, but they will get you fucked up real quick.
Last Thursday, there was a Dogfish Head "tap takeover" night at 4th Street Bar near OSU. They had 11 different types on tap, I enjoyed the 90 Minute and Faithfull Ale, but this was absolutely delicious and possibly my new favorite beer:
Adolphus Busch didn't. When WW2 came about, many of the ingredients that went into American beer were rationed for the war effort, so the crap beer we get now is what they had to get by with. After the war, American beer makers (long after Adolphous Busch had died) decided that it was more profitable to continue this type of brewing thus American beer (once hailed as the best beer in the world) became shit. Fucking Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and ruining our beer.said_aouita;1072792 wrote:I really wish Adolphus Busch would have never came to the USA and thought, "I'll make beer that tastes like water!"
Love the Midas Touch as well...the Chicory stout I don't like so much. Hellhound is Awesome. Getting hard to find.Heretic;1074516 wrote:Midas Touch is my favorite Dogfish. But I've only had two of theirs -- that and a chicory stout.
I have one in the fridge waiting to be broken out for a tasting.osudarby08;1074515 wrote:

Its beer for people who don't like beer. Sure....its genius marketing but that doesn't make it a good beer. I could just picture that board meeting in the early 80's:
"OK guys, we need to grow.....reach an untapped market. I was thinking: how about people that don't like beer? What we'll do is water it down to the point that people who don't like beer will tolerate it so that they can pretend with their friends that they are beer drinkers!"
Bud Select, Michelob Ultra, Bud Light Lime, Bud Light Wheat, etc etc were all just extensions of the same strategy: keep watering it down and/or adding flavor until we reach a new market segment. Coming soon: Bud Light Water, Bud Light Chocolate Milk, Bud Light Wine.....
Here's how you can tell a good beer from shit beer: drink it at room temperature. Bullshit beers like Bud Light add chemicals and things that make the beer have less flavor at colder temperature. The result is, a beer that goes down smooth when cold but taste like skunk piss when warm due to those chemicals no longer affecting it. Beers that are brewed simply on flavor alone do not suffer this fate. Taste them at room temperature and they largely taste the same. Some might taste slightly better (but most are still better cold).
End of beer snob rant.

That is a great Imperial IPA. If you are into Barley Wine Style try their Behemoth.Mooney44Cards;1074835 wrote:I just had Three Floyd's Dreadnaught tonight for the first time. Holy shit was that good. One of the best I've ever had.

Actually Troegs has been around since the mid 90's. They just moved to Hershey from Harrisburg. They have been available in Ohio for many years.Crimson streak;1074048 wrote:There's a local brewery that just opened here in Hershey called troegs. And it's actually pretty damn good.
