Just finished the last a 6 of this stuff last night:

That's got to be in my top 5 all time favs.
 
I'm not sure if you can get it where you are, I'm in Ontario Canada. I could probably mail you a sixer if you wanted, but I'm not sure if stores would stock it.

No worries. I'm good. I've got a hell of a lot of beer stored up at the moment. :hyper: After summer is over, I have a milk stout, Russian imp stout, smoked porter, old ale, and some holiday beers. :hyper:

what kind of hops are those? I remember seeing some hops in a forest that smelled like cascades, or one of those citrusey/piney varieties nearby, the "flowers" were small, but they seemed a bit longer than that though.

These are cascades. With my environment much different than CO/OR, I'm interested to see how these behave. I'll have to do my research on when to pick them. The hop cones blossomed like this in the last day or two.
 
Riverwest Stein Beer from Milwaukee's own Lakefront Brewery.

It's a wonderful all malt lager. Here's a nice review for you to learn from:

iJazz - Schlitz at the brewery will always remain my best ever beer. That was 40 years ago.
 
Had some SN Kellerweis for the first time last night and was blown away. I really enjoyed the beer. It was fairly light, with a good mouth feel and a taste somewhere between bananas, honey, and lemon. It was semi-sweet for a beer, the wheat was present, and just enough bittering hops to finish well. If anyone here enjoys Shocktop or Blue Moon, this is a must try.

This for tonight. This one's been cellared for 7 months, I'll get back to you.

I found it to be different than when it’s fresher. It actually seemed more lager-like and less like a stout. It was smoother and less bitter, but still had a nice roasty, coffee thing going on. This brew completely kills the notion that lagers in general aren't as flavorful as some other styles. I've noticed lately that brewers seem to be doing more lagers these days and they are shattering the notion of what lagers should taste like.

I'm having some ribs right now, late-night leftovers from the restaurant I work at, having a can of maclay's "pale ale", it's a decent budget beer, contract brewed by sleeman. If I had a choice though, I'd grab a waterloo dark lager though, it'd probably be amazing with this.
 
I just finished to connect my new sound system for my living room: onkyo receiver, a pair of Klipsh KF 28 , sony Cd player and a velodyne subwoofer, I am drinking a burning river pale ale from Great Lakes and right now Ozzy is being played, lovely day :P
 
I just picked up a 6-pack of Atwater Brewery's Vanilla Java Porter, brewed in Detroit, MI. It's really good when accompanied with a Hershey's Chocolate bar.. Haha. I just turned 21 in July, so I'm still green in the world of alcoholic beverages. Hoping this thread can suggest some tasty brews to sample.

I'm not a "drink until drunk" kind of guy, at all. Just looking to try some new thing and see what is available.

From the area try Edmund Fitzgerald porter from Great Lakes brewing co. and Breakfast Stout from founders both world class beer.
