I saw something the other day that said Akron is closest place to watch a division 1 football game from Cleveland (duh). A lot of the alumni are there. Glad to see them marketing the area and would like to see more of it from UA in general. I hate when I go to an Indians game and see Toledo advertising. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 Don't buy this beer. I have 5 of them left in my refrigerator and don't know how I will suffer through them. Squeeze watermelon rind juice in a Fat Tire and you'll get an idea of what this nasty swill is all about. 1 Quote

ZippyRulz Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Entering a craft pilsner phase and I can definitely recommend giving Gringolandia Super Pils a try (by 5 Rabbits Brewery in Chicago). Lagunitas Pils, not so much. Edited December 31, 2017 by ZippyRulz Quote
ZipsVoice Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks ZippyRulz I visited my nephew and his wife in Munster IN over the weekend and he took me to a local brewery called 3 Floyds and I had an Arctic Panzer Wolf Pilsner that was freakin' awesome, plus high % content and I got buzzed on just 2! 1 Quote

Someone said they saw a 3 floyds at Ray’s in Kent a while ago when I told them about it. Wow! I am psyched now...maybe they’ll have zips toledo on tomorrow evening....thanks Doc Quote
Dr Z Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 I go to Ray's Place a lot in the summer, but never in the winter. I know they had some sort of IPA 3 Flyods on tap this summer. I'm not an IPA fan, so it went in one ear, and out the other. They did have Old Speckled Hen on tap this summer. Probably my favorite english ale. This Ray's list says it was updated 1/1/18, but I know they get new things weekly. Quote

Hey there Doc...I found myself in Munster IN last night on business and found the 3 Floyds Brewhouse. Wow! Rather strange place but had a blast. Obscure music all on vinyl, some decent pub food, and best of all some great beers. First went with the Behemoth, a delightful Barley Wine with lots of hops and a caramel taste, pretty strong %. Then went to a Yum Yum, a solid paleale, and finished off the evening with a Lazersnake. Hotel was half a mile away so the drive back was mercifully short. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Had a "Naughty or Nice" Christmas Ale on tap at a bar in Twinsburg a couple nights ago. I thought it was outstanding. It had the viscosity and body of Great Lakes, but much more spice-forward. Mucky Duck Brewery Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 10, 2018 Report Posted December 10, 2018 Still looking for a gift for that discriminating beer drinker on your list? Had this 2 nights ago. Maybe the best barrel-aged beer I've had to-date. Quote

GP1 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I'm not much of a beer expert, but I know what I like when I taste it.

Charleston is one of the great food cities in the world and I think as good as the food is, the breweries are that bad. Myrtle Beach? That's where you go to drink 30 Coors Lights per day. It's about time for those of us who live here to start our off season visits. Quote

First place I went was Total Wine and they had an unbelieveable selection of singles, which I promptly made 3 sixers from. I was a little disappointed there weren't more Florida brews available, but there were quite a few labels I have never seen in Ohio, so it was nice. This store is huge. Picture a supermarket full of wine and beer, ONLY. Pretty cool. The second place I was lucky enough to visit was Mr. Beery's "a craft beer bar". I took advantage of the Monday Happy Hour Special. 3-8 P.M. All you can drink unlimited drafts for 10 bucks. Amazing! The third place was World of Beer. I wish I could have spent more time here, as it was a great experience. The bartenders are more like your own personal beer consultants. They ask a lot of questions and make suggestions. They advertised over 500 kinds of bottled beer. I didn't count them, but they did have a lot. I also got to sample some other various treats at restaurants, but these were the big 3 experiences. Now for the list from worst to first...(with the beer advocate links if any sound interesting) "Would not try again." Holy Mackerel Mack in Black Widmer Brothers Pitch Black IPA Blue Point Blueberry Ale Leavenworth Boulder Bend Dunkelweizen Full Sail Session Black Lager Fort Collins Chocolate Stout Ballast Point Barmy Ale Brooklyn Mary's Maple Porter "Solid. Would have another." Spaten Dunkel Anchor Bock Ballast Point Reef Rye Brown Red Brick Laughing Skull Amber Clown Shoes Lubrication American Black Ale Belfast Bay McGovern's Oatmeal Stout Lost Coast 8 Ball Stout Terrapin Rye Pale Ale Bell's Hell Hath No Fury Dubbel Kona Koko Brown Young's Double Chocolate Stout Mad River Serious Madness Black Ale St. Peter's Cream Stout Cigar City Cubano Style Expresso Brown Ipswich Original Ale Coronado Idiot IPA Highland Black Mocha Stout Cigar City Ligero Black Lager Blue Point Hoptical Illusion IPA Terrapin Hopsecutioner IPA Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale Terrapin Moo-Hoo Milk Stout "Deeeeeeeee-licious!" Red Brick Porter Ballast Point Sculpin IPA Cigar City Jai Alai IPA Cigar City Maduro Brown I am sure some of these may be available in Ohio, but all were new tries for me. Cigar City is in Tampa and was the most widely available craft beer where I was in Sarasota. I was told to avoid the Sarasota Brewing pub, so I skipped that. The one thing I was looking the most forward to finding was The Funky Buddah's Maple Bacon Porter, but they didn't distribute to the Gulf Coast. A good Florida IPA I found (recently) on tap at Chili's near Gainesville. Probably only available in that area. Hoppy but not as extreme as most IPA's. https://swamphead.com/beer/big-nose-ipa/ Edited January 30, 2021 by ZippyRulz Quote
