Nearly impossible to find in cask strength but my favorite Makers product. Been trying to make this bottle last but had a nice pour tonight for CWS game

That stuff is alright. I do like the cask strength better. Readily available in TX

It’s just that time of year.

Spotted cow is even better on a tap than it is out of the bottle.

 

I drink a lot of mich golden light too though.  It goes down smooth.

I’m heading to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks and the orders are rolling in.😂 and for cheese from Union Star cheese factory in Fremont Wisconsin.  We always drop down there for curds, string cheese and bricks to bring home.

I'm apparently the only person in the world who doesn't think Spotted cow is anything special.

@DitchPanda I’ll second that sentiment especially when I see what the current price is. I will add I picked up a mixed 12 pack of Three Floyd’s from my local grocery store last night and so far the standout for me is the “Age of otters” IPA 😋Although I will say the standout can graphics for me at least go to the “Zombie Ice Double Pale Ale” even though I prefer the former for taste.

I think part of the allure, at least for me, is that it’s only available in the great state of Wisconsin. It’s not very often that I get it.

 

If it was available all the time where I live, I probably would have a similar sentiment.

It doesn't bloat me like most beer. Smooth and creamy...the peanut butter of beer...😁

As I have said, my brother in law is part owner of a brewery in St Augustine, Florida, Old Coast Ales.  I have been immersed in the brewing process more than I ever thought I would be.  We visit breweries most everywhere we go and he has described the process in detail.  I am taking a selection of brews from a local brewery (Silver Branch) with me to Wisconsin.  There’s sooooo many craft brewers out there doing IPA’s and every other variation that Spotted Cow being a “Farm Ale” has a different profile.  Me personally, I had a couple top shelf Old Fashioneds last night and enjoyed it immensely.

My go to beer

[NorcalBassin]

Been a mostly dry summer for me but couldn't pass up adding these to the collection this weekend. The difference between a smoky bourbon and smoky scotch is quite striking!

[TnRiver46]

@NorcalBassin, I’ll take the one on the right any day! 
 

I had some of California’s finest beverage yesterday

Sierra is good but, it’s too bad Anchor Steam is gone.

[TnRiver46]

@Junger, dude! We have a small bar called union jacks that I used to go to in college that had anchor steam in bottles, it was so dam good ! I remember peeling the label off and putting it in my back pocket so I wouldn’t forget what it was (pre smart phones haha)

 

seems like it was brewed in San Francisco?

Recently saw the billionaire who owns Chobani purchased it a couple months ago and plans to have everything back up and running by the end of the year.

Good afternoon everybody. Although I’m not a whiskey connoisseur in fact furthest thing from it so I may be way off base asking this but is anyone planning on picking one of these up and if so is it going to be worth the price or just a goofy marketing ploy? I ask as I’m thinking of picking up a bottle as a future Christmas or special occasion gift for someone.
