Title: The Casual Pint
Post by: Stogie Vol on December 09, 2012, 08:15:03 EST
I stopped by their Bearden location and asked for a flight of 6 seasonals which turned out to be 5 seasonals and a recommendation for the 6th. I drank them in this order:

BIG RIVER WINTER'S NIP BOCK
ABITA FALL FEST
HIGHLAND COLD MTN. WINTER ALE
GOOSE ISLAND MILD WINTER ALE
NEW BELGIUM SNOW DAY
ROGUE SHAKESPEARE OATMEAL STOUT

All were good, the first 4 being heavy on the malt side. NB's Snow Day hit me with a healthy dose of hops, which was excellent.  The oatmeal stout was a fantastic dessert to finish it all off.

Rogue Shakespeare Stout has been one of the world's most awarded beers for 20+ years now.  If I go to the Oregon game next year, I hope to tour some of the microbreweries up there (there are TONS of them).  Rogue is way over on the coast, so it may be tough to get to.   :dunno:

I've had the last four and thought all four were good. After the Shakespeare Stout I think I like the Goose Island the best. Snow Day is available in most grocery stores right now, and is a pretty good beer to stock your fridge with.
