    If anyone is in the Philly area and happens to be around the Norristown/Plymouth Meeting area, do yourself a favor and stop in Capones on Germantown Pike. Incredible tap selection and a beer store that rivals any I have been to. You can mix and match a 6 pack too if you like. Saturday I made myself an awesome (but rather expensive) 6 pack.

    2008 Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA (21% ABV) - ridiculous beer. I was drunk after one. LOL. Not my favorite but something that has to be tried once.

    Dogfish Head Immort Ale - 11% ABV

    Dogfish Head Palo Santo - 12% ABV

    Founders Breakfast Stout - 8.3% ABV - one of my all time favorites!

    Bell's Hopslam - 10% ABV - awesome IPA - alcohol is TOO well hidden!! LOL.

    Bell's Two Hearted Ale - incredible beer. One of my all time favorite ales.

    Also had a Russian River Pliny the Elder on tap finally. Great beer. Worth the wait!

    I am all in for a PJ beer!

    Yup - only reg breakfast stout. But they are having a KBS special tapping in a couple weeks. I have had that once - great beer as well!!

    If PJ was going to have a beer brewed for them, I would imagine it being a Northwestern microbrewery that would make it. I think that a Redhook special Pearl Jam beer would be amazing.
    Or, Elysian Brewery.

    I agree with you about it, if it were to happen, it would be from one of the many Northwest micro brews. Not by some east coast mass produced craft beer company doing a TV show that looks like it was produced by the same crew that made Pawn Stars.

    Dogfish Head does make good beer, but there are so many more local ones to choose from, that are not stars of a reality TV show.

    I had kbs, cbs, BA imp. stout and lots of other goodies at Founders last weekend. Man, I can still taste it all. So great. Long day of drinking great beer.

    Is that Kentucky Breakfast stout that good? It goes fast around here.

    dfh's aprihop is damn good stuff. the ipa bitterness will mellow over the next couple of weeks giving way to more of the apricot in april. i will keep picking up 4 packs every couple of weeks...

    in terms of suggested brews, even though i am not a lagerhead, it would appropriate to have a thirst quencher on tap for this gig, so 2 votes for that lager w/lemon, rosemary combo.



    Are you saying the apricot flavor will develop over time or it will be better in later batches? I bought a case the other day and I'm keeping the in the basement. Trying to hold onto my Abita strawberry lager until the summer.

    yes, basically the hops/bitterness will settle down and the apricot will surface a bit more, nothing incredibly different but you should be able to notice by now if you have any left.

    Yes, it is that good. I went down to the release party in Grand Rapids a month or so ago just to make sure I got a case. It is ridiculously good and was worth the drive...

    Tried Hop Noir from Peak Organic recently. It is a Black IPA, very, very good, one of my faves.
