Boglehead Beer
Re: Boglehead Beer
The way I look at it, if I'm not using my time to make money, then I should be doing stuff that I enjoy. And I love hanging out in my garage making beer. It makes for a nice saturday morning activity and my buddy comes over to 'help'.

Can't wait to personally do this myself. Hoping to do eBIAB. Need to wait until the kids are older

Plenty more in the $7-10 range. Very few <$3 in that category.
I get my 64 oz growler filled at my local breweries, usually for about $20-25.

Re: Boglehead Beer
Since this thread has arisen from the dead, let me throw a question out there for the Philadelphia Bogleheads. DW and I have a visit to Philadelphia planned in the not distant future, and in scoping out some of the local joints we ran across something that caught our attention. Anybody ever been to the Flying Pig? They reportedly have a giant economy-sized beer lineup, which we both find intriguing.
Edit: the “giant economy-sized” was meant to refer to the variety of different beers offered, not to the size of the beers themselves. Sorry for the ambiguity.

For a 22oz, $5 is super cheap. Around $10 is standard and some are more.

Beer is one of my indulgences where I spend way more than I do in other aspects of life. I do try to do most of my drinking at home though, to somewhat keep the costs under control. (And I try to limit my consumption somewhat, more for health reasons than finance.)
Re: Boglehead Beer
Another vote for PBR and Yuengling. I am 81. PBR kept my kidneys flushed from 18 to about 40 and Yuengling for the past 40 plus. Good stuff, both best as draft......Gordon
I am amused that PBR has come back as a niche "In Beer"

Re: Boglehead Beer
I think freshness is key to Yuengling. Yuengling is rare on the west coast, and if you find, it's usually skunked or otherwise bad. But when I've had it in the Pennsylvania / Delaware region, it was a nice example of American macro lager.

In contrast to the wine world, where $35-50 is very nice, but a piker's price compared to the pricey stuff.

Re: Boglehead Beer
It does seem to have taken on new life as the beer of choice for hipsters, or at least it did a few years ago. I suspect it's as much if not more of a novelty/ironic thing as it is that they actually enjoy drinking it.

Re: Boglehead Beer
I think you meant The Blind Pig? Never been, but they’re draft list isn’t posted so can’t speak to what they have. I think when most Philadelphians think about a place for a large / eclectic beer selection they go to Monk’s Cafe.oldcomputerguy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 2:52 pm Since this thread has arisen from the dead, let me throw a question out there for the Philadelphia Bogleheads.

Some others favorites ... Standard Tap, Memphis Taproom, Local 44, and plenty of others.
There’s no shortage of breweries accessible by mass trainsit ... Nodding Head, Yards, Earth Bread, 2nd Story, Dock Street, Crime and Punishment, Fishtown Brewpub, And if you don’t mind a short drive ... Tired Hands, Neshaminy Creek, Victory, and lots of others.
If you’ve never been to the city .. you can’t beat some pre dinner drinks and mussels at Monks and then a short walk to some of the great restaurants on Rittenhouse (Rogue, Devon, Parc, Barclay Prime). Just be prepared to spend some $$ .

My wife and I are 33/37 and we buy it because it is the best "cheap" beer. It's good beer without paying Michigan craft beer prices.

Re: Boglehead Beer
No, I double-checked, it's the Flying Pig. We ran across it on Tripadvisor. I looked up the address, though, and it appears it's not in Philadelphia proper but somewhere out west maybe 15 miles or so. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the suggestions.

I’m over Pumpkin beers, but these are the best ones I’ve ever had. I really like Neshaminy Creek (in Croydon/Bensalem area) overall ... their pumpkin beer may be hard to come by but it’s a dunkelweizen with pumpkin so a unique take compared to what other brewers are doing.

I thought that $8/22oz for Dragon's Milk from New Holland at my local beer snob emporium was a bargain. On the other hand, I did recently see Dogfish 120 minute IPA on a shelf for the first time ever. I think it was marked at $5.20 for a 12oz bottle. Seemed a bit too pricey for what it is.
That plus the fact that I actually like Dogfish 60 better than Dogfish 90 was enough to convince me to try something else. To me, Dogfish 90 tastes like somebody added straight alcohol to what could have been a perfectly good IPA.

Re: Boglehead Beer
Prolly you meant Dirty Bastard, or the barrel-aged version Backwoods Bastard.
Both get a thumbs up from me.
As for other Scotch Ales, I've yet to try Scotty Karate from Dark Horse. I came close to trying Under the Kilt from Dragonmead, but the first bottle I opened produced a volcanic eruption of foam and most of it ended up on the kitchen counter. Will be a bit more careful with the next bottle.

Re: Boglehead Beer
My latest favorite beer
Revenant IPA
Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka, CA.
from their website: Revenant IPA has full-bodied flavor from rich Pale malts generating a light amber hue. A blend of Simco and Citra hops to generate a unique and lively citrus aroma and flavor. This is a very refreshing IPA suitable for hopheads and everyone else, as well.

Re: Boglehead Beer
I'm not an IPA fan, but am currently drinking Yards IPA - another Philly area brewery that has been around for quite some time. Not bad.
I've recently seen Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA for $10/bottle (NJ liquor store). When it first came out, I was amazed how different it was from the 90 minute IPA. Fast forward to today, my tastes have changed and would agree that the Dogfish head 60 is the better choice.House Blend wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 12:08 pm +1. Life is too short for mediocre beer.

Re: Re:
You're always going to take it in the shorts when buying 22oz bombers. Total Domination is often available at my Costco, for ~$27 a case - less than $7 per six pack of 12oz bottles. That's a steal for a good beer.

Re: Boglehead Beer
Anyone have/like a coffee blonde?
Ive had this style a few times, but cant seem to get my hands on it anywhere near me. Its basically a blonde ale which is racked on coffee beans during secondary fermentation so it keeps its golden color. You get coffee on the nose with a nice blonde ale taste with a coffee finish.

Re: Boglehead Beer
I don't think this is a thing. I've enjoyed both of these beers:
Founders Dirty Bastard (Scotch Ale)
Stone Arrogant Bastard (Aggressive Strong Ale)
But I don't recall Founders making a beer called Angry Bastard. Google isn't aware of it, and neither is Founders Brewing Company.

Re: Boglehead Beer
Michigan craft beer is totally worth the price for a special occasion, but you need to identify cheaper substitutes if you are a regular drinker. Blue Moon is close to Bell's Oberon and there are a decent amount of bourbon barrel options that work in place of New Holland Dragon's Milk. Newer breweries often have a bit of a discount compared to the established options.gvsucavie03 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 03, 2018 7:20 amMy wife and I are 33/37 and we buy it because it is the best "cheap" beer.

Re: Boglehead Beer
I tend to buy expensive beer, and I generally like to try things on draft or in single bottles, shying away from unknown 6 packs--because I might know in the first sip that a beer is not for me. Based on a rec. A few days ago I bought a six pack of Kujo, a col press coffee porter (6%) from Flying Dog. It's now gone and I'll have to see if I can get another, super enjoyed this one. There's a weird story about a dog on the bottle that I've since been informed is because Kujo is the name of a Stephen King novel/movie.

Re: Boglehead Beer
If you like beer and you like bourbon, you'll like Founder's Backwoods Bastard. Tyranena's Rocky's Revenge is another good beer with bourbon hints, a brown ale aged in bourbon barrels. Not sure if it's available outside Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana.

Backwoods Bastard is available in WV. I didn't like it though. I do like barrel aged beers at times, but this one didn't do it for me. I think I prefer the oaky taste rather than the bourbony taste I got from BB.
I did have Rogue's Hazlenut Brown Nectar last night and it really hit the spot.

You might like Southern Tier's Coldpress Coffee Pumking. Might be able to find it in a 22oz, but I know it's available in 4 packs of 12oz bottles.

With the trendiness of coffee and craft beer, I can't believe this style hasn't caught fire, especially since the craft beer industry has put more focus on "lighter" fare. I might experiment dropping a few coffee beans in a blonde ale and see what happens.
Re: Boglehead Beer
Homebrewers refer to this as "dry beaning" and you will definitely get a lot of coffee aroma/flavor from doing this. Typically the rates are about 1-4 ounces of whole beans per 5 gallons of beer.

When it comes to beer, I take a page from the old, white haired guy that built Jurassic Park in the movies...I spare no expense.
I recently got a 4 pack of N'Ice Chouffe for about $20. The happy little forest gnomes on the label cleverly disguise the high ABV of this Belgian dark ale.
It is really tasty.
I also enjoyed Sam Adams Holiday Sampler this year, the Holiday Porter and Chocolate Stout were quite good.

Re: Boglehead Beer
Everyone has different tastes, but once you taste good craft beer, its nearly impossible to ever drink that commercial stuff ever again..
And I just can't understand how people tolerate PBR but too each his own!
There's also been such a boom in the industry the past 5 years its impossible to keep up anymore but here are some personal favorites
Best craft beers I've had come from New England:
Treehouse (Julius, Curiosity series, Juice machine, Green) eureka is best value/low abv
Trillium
Alchemist heady topper, focal banger
Lawsons sip of sunshine, super session
Bissel brothers - swish
Best value local brews are usually anything in the 4-6% abv range:
$1-$2 per beer
Notch - Left of the dial
night shift brewing - whirlpool ($11 4pack 16oz)
Founders - All Day IPA
Treehouse eureka
