I'm still recovering from Portsmouth Brewery's Kate the Great Stout. Awesome beer release day. Had a few friends come up with me to get as many bombers as possible. Sadly, even though we got there at 7, there were no more bottles for sale. Luckily we got it on tap. I started with a Bigfoot barleywine from Sierra Nevada. Not the best beer for 11:30 in the morning, but yesterday was the exeption. If anyone has had this beer, you know it is up there with the Dark Lord, Old Rasputin and Stone's RIS. If you guys do any trading try to get one. This years brew was a little sweeter but I'd imagine it'll be perfect in 2 years.

anyway as for me. Trois Mousquetaires Baltic Porter

If you haven’t tried a Michigan brew, you’re missing out on some real good beers.

We recently played a Saturday gig at Liberty Street Brewery in Plymouth and I drank their Barber’s Garden IPA. Great taste, aroma, body, color, etc. They say the hops were grown next door at the barber shop, hence the name.

New Holland Brewery’s Mad Hatter IPA is my favorite with Bells Two Hearted coming in second. NHB’s Sundog is very good, too. I also have “real” Canadian beer from Canada (Labatt’s Blue, Molson Canadian, others), not that imported …ah, stuff.

If I was in Germany right now, I could be enjoying their beers at work, but I guess I'll have to wait till I get home.
 
Currently enjoying a Woodstock Inn Brewery Pemi Pale Ale. My girlfriend was kind enough to give me a membership to a "beer of the month club" deal for Christmas and this is one of four brews that was included in the last shipment.

The last beer I purchased for myself was the sixer of Full Sail Amber Ale on the way home while at the store.

Hooray for drinking problems!


The Woodstock Inn and Brewery! I used play in a cover band and we played there at least 5 or 6 times a year. Great beer and a great gig. We always played Friday and Saturday, they give you a dumpy band room to stay in (hey but it's free!!), and we would always pick up a couple growlers of beer at the bar. Free Dinner and breakfast was included for both nights and mornings. One of my favorite places to play a gig.

My favorite brew they offer is the Kanc Country Maple Porter (in Season now), it's killer.
 
One of my all time favorite beers is Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Yum.

There is a new specialty beer store that opened a couple of miles from my house. I tried some of this Piraat Ale from Belgium. Pretty good stuff. It's got some kick with 10.5% ABV

You gotta try New Holland's Saison. I think it's called Golden Cap. It's got a flying monkey on the label. Great stuff!

Yea it was a good time. Didn't see the Alstrom Bros, but I was downstairs the whole day. People were saying that this was the longest beer release line they had seen. If that's true I just might be traveling for more. I was hoping to get 2 bombers so I could trade for either Pliny, but hitting on the bartender and giving her three straight awesome tips secured one Bad Larry for me and my friends. And all the people that came with me were bass players.... with beards and mustaches. MMMMmmm flavor savers
 
Yea I'm partial to Sam, not all of their brews, but I'm really liking this new Noble Pils, so much better than the White Ale. I kinda wish there were more seasonal brews. I tend to get sick of them before they are gone. I think my favorite is Old Fezziwig from the winter collection. Your totally right about it being Sam Country round here. I really wish we could get Yuengling anywhere around here.
