What is going on with this? Who's up? Did Marlo ever pick? Confused..

Looks like Boozehound is up, then Marlo, One Love, and me. Do I get back to back picks?

Yeah, if you have last pick, you get 1st pick in the even rounds. Serpentine style

I like to think of myself as someone who always prefers "good" beer, but if someone hands me a 12 pack of Bud/Coors Light (like last night) then I'm not going to complain either

well duh, some people would drink homemade prison wine if that was the only booze they had. This is your all time favorite beers. If you put bud light as one of your all time favorite beers then you either don't have any taste buds or haven't tried many beers in your time.

I'm going mainstream first and draught the best beer ever to come out of a spout

well ****. you pick misser. Was gonna pick that (one of the best ever). Thats fine, There are hundreds of great beers to choose from. Figured Id use my first round on a mainstreamer like that.

Anyways, with my first pick I choose
Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout



I am a huge fan of all things stout. This is a great one that many people have had. I may try and post a little more about it later.

Via PM Marlostanfield selects Prohibition Ale from the Speakeasy Brewery in San Francisco. Great choice.



One Love you're up (2:40 PM EST)

[One Love]

I tried this beer on my visit to Massachusetts and I absolutely loved it, I don't know if any of you have tried it, but it's fantastic.

Rollstone Red Ale



Review from Beeradvocate.com:

Presentation: 12 oz brown long neck with a blurb about the beer on the label, no freshness date.

Appearance: Tawny, almost brick red in colour with a healthy and slowly fading beige lace.

Smell: Sweet malt with highlights of toasted biscuit, oily hop on the nose also with hints of delicate flowers and a ghost like tangerine fruitiness.

Taste: Medium build with a smooth and modest carbonation. A reserved malty palate leads the taste buds to toasted flavours, some on the verge of mildly roasted. In the sweetness of the malt are vague flavours of caramel and raw honey. More hop flavour than bitterness which makes for a well structured balance with the malt, hop oils are quite noticeable with suggestions of mint, citric rind and flowers. Further towards the finish the malt get more of a toasted and dry character though still there is some residual sweetness.

Notes: A remarkable ale that brings back memories of the micro revolution back in the mid 90’s, Z Street says that this brew goes great with burgers … I could see making it one of my ideal session brews. Great use of malt and hops that seem to meld very well together.

Serving type: bottle

[One Love]

So am I up again?

[BankShot]

So am I up again?

Yep then Marlo, Boozehound, and Hateraid

[One Love]

My Second Pick: Samuel Adams Boston Lager



BeerAdvocate Review:

On-tap, served in a pint

Appears amber in color with a frothy, two finger slightly off-white cap. A clear body with moderate visible carbonation.

Aroma is very clean and bright. Sweet toasted biscuity malt and floral, earthy hops in a pretty good balance.

A soft, caramel flavor pours onto the palate with a mild bitterness in the finish. A good balance. Hops are floral and mellow and a touch spicy.

A moderate amount of carbonation and a medium body. Fuller than you would expect. The drinkability is the best thing this beer has going. Always consistent and there for you when you need it in a pinch.

Serving type: on-tap

My Second Pick: Samuel Adams Boston Lager

Good choice. I was hoping it would be available later on, one of my favorite beers to have during a longer drinking session.
