Has there been discussion on Dogfish Head in here? Did I bring it up? Because northeasterners are really snooty about it.

6'er of this cooling down in my fridge as we speak.  I'll be cracking open my first at around 9:30 while I make a homemade thin crust pizza.  Then I plan banging my hot girlfriend like a screen door on a trailer in a Tornado in Reading, KS.

Is there a beer on earth better than a Miller High Life? Yes, definitely. But is there a beer on earth better than a Miller High Life after a long afternoon working in the yard on a hot summer day? Probably.

If you like Pilsner style beers (Miller Lite is one) then I invite you to try...



I hadn't tried anything new from New Belgium in a couple of years, but decided to give this stuff a shot a few weeks ago.  I think I found my new "go to" beer for the summer.  You won't be disappointed. 

Drink it from one of these.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Tried Sam Adams Summer Ale, and like all Sam Adams products it was . . . okay.



winter lager is their best seasonal imo

Yep,love Winter Lager.  It's also my lady's fave beer.  Most winter seasonal's are warmers, I like that Sam A. went a different route.

Any list without representation from the state of Colorado is doing it wrong.  That is if the list is ranking best beer towns.

New Belgium Ranger IPA

Just picked some up last week, and it is delicious.
better than mighty arrow, worse?  is it too hoppy?  i'm sick of beers guys throwing 500 pounds of hops in a beer and saying it tastes good. no, it doesn't taste good, it tastes like hops.
It's hoppier than MA, but not too hoppy.  Not as hoppy as the ska brewing ipa. :)

yeah, hops alone aren't good enough for me and those smokey beers almost make me gag. that's the only kind of beer that i just can't drink. fav beers are the citrus kind of ipa's. the odells ipa is amazing. just incredible.

Agree.  O'Dell is my fave IPA by a good margin.  Also like the elephant on the bottle.

Drinking some Guinness tonight for the first time in about a year.  Not as good as I thought I remembered.
Yeah, it's not that good.  Many, many better stouts out there.

Depends on which Guinness you are talking about.  Draught or the crap with the little balls in it?  Yeah, that stuff sucks.  Guinness Extra Stout with the cream label?  That stuff is world class.

That's like saying "there are too many girls in this bar."  Not everyone may be to your liking (and you're always welcome to take home the same chick you've been screwing since high school) but greater selection is never a bad thing.  You just gotta play the field bro, before settling down with one chick/wine/beer.  Guys like me are in no hurry to settle down with anything.

You guys ever tried a Boulevard Wheat?  Yeah, it's horrible, but for some reason everyone in KC loves it.  :dunno:

sd and his bros are going to denver for a long weekend in july and staying in the lodo area.  pretty much the sole purpose of the trip is to drink beer at Wynkoop, Great Divide, Breck, etc.  all within walking distance.
