Flu sucks. I had a bout a couple weeks ago. The rogue black was really fantastic. Got a cool rogue growwwler along with it. Which was cool because I've had labs all my life. Nice item for the collection
I look forward to hopefully getting tons of great stuff here by end of summer since abv goes up July 1. Heading to Memphis may 1...now to see social distortion instead of Ed...but I will return with a major haul on that trip.
So any suggestions on must-haves to look for will be duly considered

Had the new tallgrass 8-bit pale ale and it was another tasty one. This brewery is one of my favorites and their buffalo sweat milk stout is one of my favorites. 8-bit also has cool atari-like graphics on the can.
Looks like I'll be giving shiner black lager a try tonight

It's official....the governor signed the so-called gourment beer bill this morning....10%+ beers on the way to Mizzip July 1 Today is a good day...but now the waiting will be the hardest part

That's good news for you guys. I know it's been a long time coming.
As the NCAA tourney winds down a few buddies and I decided to have a lil beer tournament. We've selected 32 different beers and we're going to blind taste them bracket style until we finally have a clear cut winner. Not all of these are craft beers but this should be fun. We tried to be as diverse as possible. Here's what we picked up:
Ipswitch IPA
Terrapin Hop Karma Brown
CIgar City Jai Alai
Lagunitas Lil Sumpin Sumpin
Lagunitas Cappaccino Stout
Thomas Creek Up the Creek
FCB Chocolate Stout
Weyerbacher Old Heathen IMperial Stout
Great Divide Wild Rasberry
Sea Dog Rasberry
BUffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale
Rogue Mocha Porter
Unibroue Don De Dieu
Great Divide Hades Belgian Ale
Winterbruan
Smuttynose Star Island
Peak Organic Simco Spring Ale
Magic Hat Vinyl Spring Seasonal
Dog Fish Head Tweason Ale
Monty Python's Holy Ail
Widmer Brothers Drifter Pale Ale
Tommyknocker Imperial Nut Brown
Spaten Dunkel
Sierra NEvada Pale Ale
Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot
Billy's Chilies Ale (some sort of hot chili beer) :?
Dog Fish Head Raison D'Etre
Native Lager
Lion IMperial PIlsner
Mammas Little Yella Pils
Primator Double Bock
Lagunitas Maximus
Did you get a winner? I predict Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'.

Thanks man. It certainly has. Now the distributors better get to work (or maybe they already have been) on getting deals worked out. Hopefully we can get an influx of new stuff right off the bat when it goes into effect.
Of course the ones that already supply Mizzip should be able to bring the higher content stuff right away with no issues or hold ups....that alone will bring a ton of new ones to the market

Hey People of Michigan - It's almost time for Oberon! Is anybody willing to try shipping me a six pack or case? (I can't get it here in Washington) Shoot me a PM...

If no one else can help you out with that, I could probably get you one of the new 12 packs.
I went to a Bell's tap takeover not too long ago. The Black Note Stout was sold out within 9 minutes, but I got a glass. 11.5% ABV party in my pants. Also tried The Oracle, Sweet Potato Stout, and a few others.

I just realized there was a whole whiskey-infused, barrel-aged world out there that I had yet to tap (no pun intended) into. In that spirit, I obtained 3 things recently:
Weyerbacher's Insanity, a BA barleywine
Old Rasputin XIV, a BA stout
Brewdog's Paradox Smokehead (batch 015), another BA stout
The first two blew me away. I'm less excited about Paradox, since most reviews comment excessively on the smokey character and that's not the first flavor I look for in a beer. I'm just hoping it's not like the 4-pack of DFH's Immortale that I picked up a few months ago and decided to lay down for a while.
Yes, this is my first dip into barrel-aging for beer, but man I am hooked. Old Rasputin is complex and more bitter than sweet, which surprised and happified me. Maybe that's just the nature of barrel-aged stouts?

I saw The Felice Brothers there two summers ago. One of the best days/nights ever. Got up there, set up the campsite and began boozing. There were a bunch of smaller bands that were pretty horrible but we just hung out in the field drinking Hennepin. Felice Brothers played in the evening then they had a bon fire all night. Disaster of a drive back to Philly the next day.
Ugh, Hennepin in the sun. Thats too much for me. I had a bad experience with that stuff. Witte would be the way to go for me in that spot.
I had no idea they were doing those concerts all along. So you can just camp on the brewery grounds? Might need to take a drive up this year.

Yeah, it was probably too much for me and probably not the greatest idea I have ever had for a full day of drinking but I had a blast. Hung out with the band and all after. Good times.
Yeah, camping is a couple bucks extra and you have the option when you buy your tickets, I think. Well worth it, well worth it. Such a great time.
For you Dogfish fans in the Albany area they will be doing a takeover at the Lionheart this Thursday. It looks like they will have Faithfull Ale on tap. Since this is probably the only time I'll get a chance to taste it I might have to stop by. Hopefully it won't be too mobbed. Here's an article with details:

Anyone know where you can buy unafiliated growlers? I'm fond of the european style ones and i'd like to have a non descript growler i can take to different growler stations.
I go to Hop City a Lot in atlanta and i'd like to go to Ale Yeah but i don't want to buy one of their growlers just to use there. I'd like to have one i can use anywhere and take with me to cities i visit (was in greenville last weekend woudl have been nice to bring a growler of westbrook ipa home)
Even better would be a site that i coudl customize one. Like put a bad ass skull etched on it or soemthing.
i've had trouble finding this and if its not out there i think i might need to start a busienss doing it or maybe i'm the only person that wants my own customizable growler.
I think Pearl jam should sell them. A Pearl Jam growler with the stick man or the skull from the riot act era would be sweet. Just my humble opinion.

I'm not really sure how widespread the distribution is or even where all Yazoo Brewing from Nashville gets to, but they have a "hop project" series where every 6-8 weeks or so they release a different hopped up beer, changing the recipe each time, sometimes quite drastically from one to the other. I was kind of late to the party but I've now had each batch from 55 to 64...really good stuff usually as have been most all of Yazoo's brews I've tried.
Just had #64 last night...man I love beer.

Me thinks I'm in trouble
Had the Alaskan Amber last night...pretty damn good...i'd drink it a lot i think if I could readily get it
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
This week had... After alaskan
Kona fire rock...quite good.
Moose drool...holy shit that's good.
Sublimely self righteous...maybe the best I've had
Tonight...rogue dirtoir black lager. I'd put this shit in my corn flakes. Wish I had gotten two growlers
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Drank a couple of 90 min IPAs last night.
Had a Ninkasi Commonwealth the night before. It's a multi-grain 5% that seems designed for the non-craft brew fan. Good flavor for it's lightness.
I've tried those that you've had this week some good selections in there.
I look forward to hopefully getting tons of great stuff here by end of summer since abv goes up July 1. Heading to Memphis may 1...now to see social distortion instead of Ed...but I will return with a major haul on that trip.
