Unfortunately I won't be able to stick around to see much of the country, but the evenings should be spent enjoying the local food and drink. We are staying near Sachsenhausen, which I understand is a nice district for that. |

| | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | | Jim, I have had Flat Tire and I believe I liked it. I just PM'd Gard about the casual hang Thursday night (I land tomorrow afternoon in Greensboro) and asked him to recommend a good beer store near his house and the airport. Excited to try some new brews! Wish you could make it Jim, let's try to connect in Florida this winter if the girls and I visit Jupiter. Best, Pete C. |

Bill - can you get pontoons for your bike?
re: Ranger IPA - It boasted 3X the hops. Thought that was a good thing, but I'm not sure, and I'm fairly new to IPAs. Wasn't bad, but probably wouldn't get it again.

Brilliant beer. Good balance of hoppy bite and malty sweet, some tangy fruit overtones, not too much body (it was 100+ outside that day!  ).
I'll be searching it out at my local beer mecca to put in the fridge.... |

New to me, could definitely get used to it...

Tried this one out this weekend..... 
Interesting. Very herbal/yeasty bouquet. Sort of a yeasty, hoppy, clove taste and somewhat dry. All in all, not bad, but not quite what I was expecting from it either.

Hey Bro's, been in California (SF & Santa Rosa) and was fortunate to try some great beer (and lot's o' wine with wifey-poo). I am now hooked on this: 
I actually tried it in Petaluma, CA where it is brewed, as well as the typical Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam and local NoCal brews. Low and behold when I went to the package store yesterday on Cape Cod (*yes, we call them "package stores" in MA), I found a sixer of it on the shelf (not cheap). I did a taste comparison of Lagunitas IPA with Harpoon IPA and I prefer the Lag. More hoppy but really smooth.
Yum! |

General Manager, Roscoe Guitars | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: Greensboro, NC, USA | | Pete, the Lagunitas stuff I've tried is all pretty good, even their IPA (and I'm NOT an IPA fan ), but THIS stuff is the BOMB:  |

| | Well, Ahoy Paloi | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Cape Cod, MA | | Hey Gard,
Yeah, I have heard of this as well (did we enjoy some at your house with Jim the guitarist?). I really like the IPA but will try any and all of it. Too bad I didn't have more time in San Francisco, but fortunately I was picked up by Jerry and we hung Saturday afternoon @ Gelb Music in Redwood City. Ed is a great guy and he has some sweet Roscoe's! Quote:
