Yards Ales of the Revolution???

Steep in price, stronger than average in alcohol (7-8%), decidedly different-tasting. Worth a try if you can get some singles or split sixers with a fellow drinker, but if you're not a historian or beer geek you might find better things for your $12 than these two.

I picked up a case of Yards Thomas Jefferson Tavern Ale. Good stuff. Picked it up for around $25.

FWIW, unless the beer is the George Washington Tavern Porter, I'd avoid Yards altogether. That one is FG, but that's a brewery that has continually disappointed me.

Try 'em again. The Philly Pale has been reformulated and is a Simcoe-boosted killer; the new yearly batch of Trubbel de Yards will knock you out with a blast of Belgian-type yeast funkiness in a bold dubbel style. They got their shit...together. ESA on handpump at McMenamin's Tavern (Philly, not Oregon) is the rocking stuff.

I know what you're talking about, Yards has disappointed in the past. I believe that's over.

Forgot about the Trubbel, I did actualy like that one. If the Philly Pale has gone Simcoe, maybe I'll give it another shot. They relabeling it for the new style, or do I just have to check dates on the bottle?

They didn't make Trubbel last year, probably explains you forgetting it. Philly Pale's been Simcoe since July, so all of it should be new make by now. Try some draft first.

Draft? In Northern VA? Not likely. Our tap selection is as pathetic as our bottle selection is phenomenal. If I want decent taps it's DC, or maybe a few places in Arlington (which is a haul for me).

I'll at least try the bottled version again. If it sucks, well, you'll have to answer to me. *cue ominous music*

a 6 pack in alberta is 6 to 11 dollars, typical for domestic. Some german imports are 4 dollars a bottle.

dollar price really has nothing to do with FLAVOUR. USA beers tend to be a watery style. canada beers tend to get you hammered.

BUY a single from your beer shop, and let us know how it was for you. look forward to hearing from you

Damn. You folks up there can pay a lot for a beer sometimes. Does this included provincial tax and GST? Ouch.

They do? It's true that the American mass production breweries make beers that are deliberately light in flavor, which is perceived as watery in style. This is typically done by substituting adjuncts for grains, while still retaining the same overall amount of fermentables to acheive a given alcohol content.

OTOH, considering the beers on tap at my local, I'd like to know how, say, Grant's Perfect Porter or Hale's Pikup Andropov Imperial Stout could in any way be considered "watery."

They do? Perhaps you could educate us further on the differences in alcohol content between the typical mass-production Canadian beer (y'know, from the likes of MolBatt) and their American equivalents (from the likes of BudMillOors).

That's good advice in any case. Even better is to find a local that has a given beer on tap, and see how it tastes there.

no tax in alberta

actually can get more i used a good german style i liked. yes and go figure the best barley in the world comes from alberta.

GO FIGURE

did not notice the multi reply. no taqx in alberta. we are bought and paid for. gst government sales tax is hidden here. people tend to leave when someone says PLUS TAX

no i really do enjoy the watery taste, when i visit. a flood in mississippi (spelling?) it was good for me to have a few in the hot sweltering heat. i never got drunk, but i preferred that

if you have ten beer in edmonton you will probably be walked off to the drunk tank to sleep it off.

old stock, high test, is 6 percent. And it gets THICKER. MUCH MUCH MUCH thicker

reichers is generally well received here

tart yes, mellow, not very acidic or off >

It's not about beer, but: most of that oil is locked up in tar sands, and takes a lot of effort to extract. But I imagine a large-scale effort to extract as efficiently as possible (which isn't very efficient, and will probably lay waste to the enivironment) will be underway pretty soon, if not already.

Oh, there are others.

put this reply here but is not for beer buddies wanna chat my email is a real site

ON THE OTHER HAND do drunks always have big nipples? what, oh just frack off

you actually have a clue i like you

3 rigs are going to the ft mcmurray this weekend 32 feet wide 37 feet high 295 feet long when we build extracters we build extaractters

CANUCK LEADS EVERYONE in efficient i know i have been inside of the extractors taking photos of stucture. i have been undderground to see EVERYTHING sin and not of suncor and syncrude.
