Gotta love the little micro breweries and their crazy labels and names. Recently had a very gross tasting beer called Hobgoblin, cool label though. Also tried a can of Devil Made Me Brew It, with a 666 label - Great Lakes Brewery. Again...cool can, but it was friggin' disgusting!
Hobgoblin, is pretty popular over my way. Don't think I've seen Devil made me brew it. Ill have to keep an eye out for it.

I've had both of these. They're good. I had a six pack of these last month. Very good. I had to buy it just because of the ridiculous name.
I don't really drink beer, when I do it's a wheat like Blue Moon or Shock Top. But I'm always on the look out for something different, I'll buy it and make my hubby drink it. Lol

I have tasted it and can say, it tastes like it smells. I will probably never try it again. There is an asian deli near my office that I am told has durian smoothies so I may try that. I will say the texture is kinda cool, it is like pudding.
I am not one for flavoured beers. Standard ale or lager is good. Sure, there are variations in the way they are made. My favourite is Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, out of Nova Scotia. It's more higher priced, but worth the extra bucks. But, I have no problem trying different smaller companies beers either - especially ones from southern Ontario or other Canadian cities, like Mill Street Brew, Steamwhistle, and the local Walkerville Brewing Co.
I was told by a few people that the American beer Sam Adams has a lot of flavoured ones, and they leave a nasty after taste. No thanks!

I can only think of one flavored Sam Adams, and that's the Cherry Wheat. Which people who like wheat beers generally like. As far as a nasty after taste goes, I've never experienced that, unless the beer was too old, and I'm a bit of a beer snob.
Is it Sam Adams that also puts out a special Octoberfest edition brew? I know that it was good!
Their fall seasonal is a Octoberfest, probably one of my favorite marzen style beers around. Though I think my favorite Sam Adams is one they don't make anymore. Their spring seasonal used to be Noble Pills, which was a pilsner style beer using all the "Noble" hops. I was very sad when they decided to stop making it.
Well, theres your next beer creation project Dan, recreate Sam Adams Noble Pils!
Yea way easier said than done. Since a pilsner is a lager, which needs to be fermented a stable 60 degrees, not the 70 I ferment at. Actually I think my next project is a rye beer. Just have to break down and buy the ingredients / find some time to brew it.
