Tree beer tonight

[PUClimber]

Well tonight is like my Friday night as I don't have to work tomorrow so I hit the liquor store looking for something new to try and came away with crooked tree IPA out of Michigan and a Maple ale. Pretty excited. I mean what a tree hugging hippie has got to lean towards the finer things in life. Plus with names like that how can you go wrong.

The Maple ale sounds interesting. I'd stay away from the Willow or Camphor though. I was on a Ginger beer spree for a while. Supposed to be good for your tummy. Definitely a unique flavor.

@mistersir, mix some Gosling's and you have a Dark and Stormy.....good stuff.

I had a 'Trees of Doom Dunkel', several weeks ago... Bend kills it in the microbrew department.

I'm VERY suceptible to interesting beer names and cool labels.
There has never been a beer I wouldn't drink, so there's no risk. There are beers I wouldn't pay my own money for, but I'm not too proud to refuse a Bud offered on a hot day from a friend.

We have our own 'tree beer here too!

Good beers.

Shiner just put their summer special back on the shelves:

Ruby Redbird...ahhhh...a touch of Rube Red Grapefruit---sounds weird but it is soooo refreshing!

"Ya gotta get on to spend it. I've never met a dead man bought me a drink."

"I've never met a live on you've bought one for, either."
-----------------

The TreeHouse Brew is a buddy of mine; just finished up all their licensing, so production will be in full swing soon. GOOD stuff. 'Course, I get a discount.

Tom,
I tried some of that last year and wasn't a big fan of the summer shiner. I love the original stuff.

Austin has a local brewer, Live Oak, that puts out a brew similar to the old Shiner Bock (which ain't what it used to be, sadly), called Big Bark. good stuff!

Double Crooked Tree is a force to be reckoned with! 13.8% but really smooth. Try it if you can get it... especially on tap.

Dang that is some strong stuff! I will look for it Taylor. I have been into Central Waters Mud Puppy lately. Really good on tap as well

I buy wine because of the label graphics or name sometimes. If nothing else I can always cook with it.

One good grab was 'Stumpjumpers'.

There is a really cool brewery on Nantucket Island, Cisco Brewery. They make a brew called "Whaletale" that is outstanding. Not a tree brew I know, but if you have a chance, try a pint......or gallon. With game 7 of the Bruins and Caps tonight and Wednesday being date night, Whaletale is on the menu.
