This past week was a great week in beer for me, horrible week blog wise. My apologies for slacking. However, I really appreciate the support I got from some awesome bloggers about my post on the Community of Bloggers (link). I inspired both Mom’s Malt Barley (link) and the Fledgling Brewer (link) to write a post and that makes me happy. Now, on to the new beers I tried this week:
Sam Adams Oak Aged Porter- Last weekend I went to Sam Adams Oktoberfest in Boston and I tried this brew. A really nice dark porter.
Same Adams Utopias (2011)- I finally got to taste the Uptopias for the first time, for $10, and it was wonderful. If you can get a taste and if you can get past the boozyness to get a hold of the sweetness this is awesome.
New Belgium Hoptober- Hard to believe but this is my first beer from New Belgium. We can’t get this out here. My friend brought me a bunch back and this one was a real treat. I highly recommend.
Cape Anne Brewing Fisherman’s Imperial Pumpkin Stout- The best pumpkin beer out there. I don’t like pumpkin beers, but if your beer has the word ‘stout’ on it, odds are I will dive right in. This smooth stout packs a ton of flavor and comes in 6-packs in MA. If you can get it on draft at the pub, even better. Get some and thank me later.
Red Hook Late Harvest Autumn Ale-- While I have had this beer before this is my first time checking into it on Untappd. A great local fall brew that tastes great from my mug club mug!
Badge Earned This Week- Oktoberfest
Got this badge will swigging a Sam Adams Oktoberfest, quite fitting.
As you can see I have switched it into fall mode real quick and I won’t look back because summer beers are not my thing. What new beer have you tried this past week that made your day?
Cheers,

I need to get some Cape Anne Brewing Fisherman’s Imperial Pumpkin Stout ASAP! Sounds great! I just started my Fall brews tonight: Sierra Nevada Tumbler & the new Local Harvest Ale by Sebago. Both were tasty and the Maine brew was super fresh! Loving the mini-recaps on this post; cool format! Keep up the good work, neighbor
I think I’ve tried 1001 Pumpkin Ales and are now sick of them! But, I’ve never tried a Pumpkin Stout, which sounds awesome! I don’t think I’ve seen anything by Cape Ann Brewing in Jersey though.
