Anderson Valley brewing ... (The makers of Boont, one of my favorite amber beers) has a new one out ...
Summer Solstice - Cerveza Crema
This copper colored ale is smooth, malty, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. The character is lighter in body than its cousin, our wildly popular Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale . This is a silky, creamy dream, perfect as a warm weather beer. But why call it Cerveza Crema? Two reasons: One, this beer has become a favorite among many of our Hispanic friends, so it’s named in their honor. Two, it sounds cool, and cool is what you want when its hot. Serve at 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit for the most optimal flavor and enjoyment. ¡Salud!

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout... :? No, not just questionable...TERRIBLE. Seriously, it tasted like Purell. The single worst beer I have ever had. Drank about a third and dumped the rest. Ew.
They are one hit and miss brewery. I refuse to buy a four/six-pack of anything I haven't already vetted. I admire the attempts, but can't afford to try it all at the price. Still think it'd be a cool place to visit though.0 -

Suprised, I am a big fan of Dogfish Head and think it is consistently good. One of my go to breweries0 -

I haven't had the Stout, but Dogfish is a consistently great brewery IMO.
I don't recall ever having anything from them I didn't like.0 -

Part of my thing is that I don't enjoy IPAs, which I know is their forte. So my judgment doesn't take those into account. I enjoy the Punkin' Ale quite a bit, and like the Raison D'etre. But sometimes they seem to be trying too hard to make things happen. I can tolerate beers like the ImmortAle, but I prefer more than just tolerating a beer that cost a (relative) ass-load of money.0 -
Have any of you read Celebrator magazine? I'm only curious because apparently it comes from my small little town in Northern California. Plus, there was a picture of my dream guy in the latest issue!I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0

If y'all have access to any of the beers made by the Oskar Blues Brewery you must try them all. I love every one of them. They've won a ton of awards. My favorites are Mama's Little Yella Pils and Dale's Pale Ale. And all of their beer comes in cans. Good thing when you're hiking or tubing. Here's their site.

I'd also like to throw out a plug for beeradvocate.com...your perfect companion for diving into the wonderful world of beer geek culture.
A few of my favorite brewers:
Dogfish Head (Burton Baton and Indian Brown are two of my go-to beers)
Founders (Always a grand slam...if you can get your hands on Canadian Breakfast Stout, it's possibly my favorite beer)
Ithaca (Big up-and-comer...Jeff's doing some great things...check out their Excelsior series)
Allagash (1a if you're looking for domestic Belgian styles)
Lost Abbey (1b if you're looking for domestic Belgian styles)
Dieu du Ciel (From Montreal...check out Aphrodisiaque, Route des Epices, and Equinoxe du Printemps)0 -
I recently tried a Dogfish Head that was 9% alcohol. I can't remember the name, something like "90." It was delicious!I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0
