These last days have been multiple near death experiences..Lucky Irish Pub..here in Ensenada Mexico has a recently opened a location on the Pacific Ocean w @60+ taps..a full bar and two places to get great food..1 micro restaurant is run by a tall South African who has a Mexican wife..his food is really good.
.the beers available are second to none..the view is the best..no whales yet but soon..the surf has been fantastic..a 4-6 ft plus it's overhead often and because of my lacking..I can't get everything..but the best drink and food after enjoying the water has been great.
.Agua Mala always has a flavor or two..Humpy Humpy..from Wendlandt is delicious..Northern Baja is in some kind of a beernado..everything is good..and to start or finish there are hand made mescals it seems at every place..

I'm not sure what availability is outside of the region.
Its pretty tasty if you like Amber Ale. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they dropped the IBU to 20 though.

This time of year I like to try the "seasonal" Oktoberfest beers. Some of them are the ones I try each October, other are new, but most are pretty good.

I'm popping my own post here because a year later, Sierra Nevada has a slight twist with their Oktoberfest 2019 collaboration with Bitburger. Good stuff!

I was into Stone's Scorpion Bowl IPA all summer, but am back to Jai Alai mostly...

 

[Fixedwheel]

Polly's Brew Co mainly. I am lucky enough to visit a shop that is close to it's brewery and it has all the fresh stuff in and it is not to bad - if you consider £4.50 for 440 ml of super strength ponce 'not bad'.

Ace tipple.

This lactose IPA is incredible.

I wouldn't call this a lager, it's a bit darker and heavier than that.

Having said that I think it's... tolerable.

I had never heard of White Claw, it sounds like a remedy for an upset stomach. And the $28 per bottle Bourbon Barrel Aged Bananaversary Imperial Stout doesn't sound much better, it sounds like it might taste like Four Loko or a piña colada. (Not there's anything wrong with piña coladas, I actually like some of the more foo-foo umbrella drinks. But don't want my beer to taste all foo-foo.)

As with many unfamiliar things, I would recommend you try a bourbon aged stout before you assign antiquated and disparaging descriptors of reassurance. No need to spend $28. I’m sure there must at least one decent bar near you that would do a small pour for $6 or so. Banana takes the edge off the bourbon and malt. At @12% ABV, I’m sure it would be tuff enough for you.

I drink seltzer when my electrolytes are off, I don’t think “spiked” would help that, so I can’t comment.

Why so sarcastic?

 

[aphronesis]

I get confused by the compulsion to talk categorically about things one is unfamiliar with.

Touche.

Have a good one!

That's not sarcasm. That's intellectual superiority. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Hey TR, do any of the Boise beers make it over to you? There are plenty of good Boise beers IMO. I rarely post about them because they don't get too far out of town/state, but you might be close enough to see some.

No, it was sarcasm. She actually knows me far better and longer than you seem likely to. Plenty of doltish bros drinking bourbon stouts. Rather than whining everywhere, be a sport and contribute something today will you?

Schenkerla Rauchbier. Classic benchmark.
