update from Great Divide Anniversary 2012:  Belgian Style Yeti A+++  (my favorite), Makers Mark Yeti = super good, but super strong...Oak aged Dunkel weiss  B+....18th anniversary Double IPA = good...all others that I can remember were good but unremarkable

Overall... $25 really well spent!!!  Mile high 'pak next year???

Been noticing these in liquor stores in KC. Pretty good and the bottle artwork is great.

Anyone had Sierra Nevada's Summerfest? Wanted to try it, but Costco sold in 24 packs and did not want 24 if it turned out to be crap.

Do you like budweiser? If you like budweiser, you'll LOVE Sierra Nevada's Summerfest!

But seriously, I was very disappointed in this year's summer seasonals.  Summerfest blows, Blue Moon Honey Wheat blows, Somersault is meh.

I really did enjoy Freestate's Stormchaser IPA though.  Fantastic beer, even better artwork.

They make lots of long islands.

Blue Moon Honey Wheat blows

Yeah. The spring seasonal was pretty decent, but the honey wheat is like drinking straight honey.

I swear every hipster at the show last night was drinking pounders of Black Star:

And I'd never heard of it before.

Mich, I dabbled in some New Holland stuff last evening.  I've been to their brewery in Holland, Mich probably 3 different times, you been?  Really like that town.

I have been to their brewery before. Good food and I love their pumpkin beer. Holland is a nice place if you're dutch.

[michigancat]

also, I see this black star beer everywhere. a beer advocate review hints that they are a "fake" craft brewer.

And yet, Minott's Black Star Double-Hopped Premium Lager - just entering the Bay Area market by way of droll, low-key radio and newspaper ads, and more than 260 tavern taps and store refrigerator cases - somehow manages to be as up-to-date as Netscape 2.0. NOTE:

Black Star promises to pack more punch than Budweiser and Miller, yet taste less esoteric and sit lighter than most microbrews, so anybody can throw back a few.

Sound like an ad man's dream? It should: Ad men dreamed most of the story up.

Not Dutch.  But also had their pumpkin beer one time I was there in the fall, in one of those giant boots!   . Have not made it to the tulip festival though

i've had it in san diego where it's made which is really the only place to have it and is the best place to visit.

[pissclams]

steve dave, our resident beer noob, is wrong again.  sakes alive.

the worst place to drink a beer is at the brewery, anyone who's ever cracked open a cold brew knows that.  do you even drink brew, steve?

hey guys, welcome to 1 yr ago when kim reviewed like 5 stone beers

[tdaver]

tried some Love Child #2 last night.  I've never tried a sour beer so didn't know what to expect.  Not bad.  Will have more.

[EMAWmeister]

Picked up a sixer or Boulevard ZON last night.  The race for my favorite beer of the summer is now between that and Free State Stormchaser.

[Cire]

Haven't had much that I've liked this summer.  I like Saisson Brett but It was available for about a week.  blvd's stupid chocolate has now made all of their seasonals impossible.

fun fact: holland schools cancel school for the tulip time parade.

also I miss Bell's and Founders.

This might sound tardy but tallgrass ipa and belgian trippel are both really good
