    Was in Ireland and tried out this brewery - Kinnegar. Way better than Guinness.

    Not typically a huge fan of sours, but this one was as good as I've had. Not too tart and super easy to drink. Especially on a hot day. Mast Landing consistently makes great beers and is one of my favorite breweries in Maine.

    A friend of mine was kind enough to bring the beer and matching glass home from the brewery

    ^ Firestone Union Jack is one of my favorite IPA’s. It’s an oldie, but a goodie.

    every firestone I’ve tried has been good.

    I'm never opening this thread again if you post another picture of your beer frig. I just can't take it.

    I have a 2013 Parabola aging. They make some good beers.

    It's
     really good IMHO. Loads of mango. I believe there are a few deftones beers by belching beaver. It's the only one that had made it to the UK though so the only one I have tried. I think chino actually has a hand in brewing them.

    You're at the 5 year mark.  I'd open that sucker.

    Drinking a Fat Tire for the first time in about 10 years. Decent beer, but might be another 10 before I have one again.

    Yeah I am not a fan of fat tire at all.  I don't get the hype.

    Not a huge fan of that beer.  But I do love the Mosaic.  A great, cheaper option.  Whenever I want to save some $$ I'll go with those or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.  Or even the Bells Two Hearted.

    Another killer beer from Mikerphone Brewing.  These Mosaic hops are so tasty.  Any of you Chicago area guys, it's definitely worth the trip to Elk Grove to check them out....their beers are phenomenal.

    It's fantastic that they are able to keep it at the price they do while these other breweries are charging anywhere from $14-$20 for a 4pk.  I understand they distribute more and all that, but it's super convenient that a beer that good is available for $10

    Got a 6 pack of Bells the other day to see if something had changed with it based on all the hype around here and still found it about the middle of the road. Maybe I'm crazy, but all my local IPAs are way better than the Bells for the same price. Won't be buying that again for a while.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    At one point in time after college, I thought Fat Tire was the shit, but when I tried it recently, I thought it was just shit. I obviously became a full blown beer snob since then :lol:

    This is pretty much the exact same with me. But when I was introduced to Fat Tire, the craft scene hadnt really emerged, so I guess we didn’t know any better. Fat Tire was about as “craft” as it got back then.
