Also got the Bathtub gin GRUIT ale. The panty peeler is 8.5 by volume but doesn't have an overly alcohol taste, the coriander and orange peels give it a great taste.

Found at a bargain, so I thought I'd try one of my first "real" bourbons. Turns out it's a single-barrel, top shelf whiskey that's been aged 10 years. Absurdly smooth bourbon that complements a ginger ale like no other...definitely a step above everything else I've had so far.

Heineken. I know, I know:


But they were out of PBR, and it reminded me of that, when I looked next to the empty PBR slot and saw Heineken.

Such an amazing beer. I look forward to this time of year for the few dry-hopped harvest ales that make an appearance. Not too long ago Sierra Nevada's Harvest Ale was only available in a keg.It's good to see they're bottling it now. I might have to take a trip to the grocery store this evening.

I'm a huge fan of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but never ventured beyond that. How does this seasonal brew compare?

FWIW I like my beer HOPPY.

Harvest ales are usually dry hopped, which means that the hops are harvested from the plant and thrown directly into the ale without any sort of curing or drying process. The result is an extremely hoppy, almost herbal flavor profile. Many including myself have compared the bouquet to very high quality marijuana, which is understandable considering the hop plant is a vey closely related to the cannabis plant.

I enjoyed the harvest ale on tap, not as hoppy as i tend to like however. The Mongo and High Tide by Port, The Pliny the elder, and Sculpin IPA tend to have the best hop notes, high ibu's, and alcohol by volume. Just recently tried the Santa's lil helper by Port, aged in bourbon barrels and bathing in hoppy goodness. At 16.50 for a big boy its a lil pricey however.
