List your top 5-10 favorite beers here...

Pretty sneaky. You actually had me clicking on the 1K website.

Well, we can't just have the general public viewing our top secret site.

How long would it take me to drink 35 pints?? There's really only one way to find out.

Did you get a look at that guy in the video?

I don't think I'm man enough.

Is the Pilot Nation bus available for this adventure?

A new seasonal favorite, but pretty much a given since I am a fan of crisp ambers and Bavarians:

Ooo I'll have to check that one out... I'm not a marzen fiend, but I do like to sip on one every now and again....

Sierra Nevada Anniversary IPA.....tasty west coast hops...

Had myself a six pack last week, yummy, and a sample at the Great Lakes Brewfest, ask Rochin54 how wonderful that event was.

Judging by the text and voicemail messages, I believe the Great Lakes Brew festival was fantastic. I am no doubt jealous of the brews Mattywizz was able to sample there....although I'm not so sure he more "vigorously consumed" than "sampled."

Well since you bailed on him he was drinking for the both of you.... Poor form fiddy-fo, poor form.

Here I was thinking I was the only one getting text from him.

BUSTED!

Nut, I heard a rumor that Widmer is having dock sales of the Okto. $13/case minimum 3 cases I believe. If you enjoy it enough that could be a great deal.

Anyone else hear about Life & Limb, the collaboration with Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada?? I am very much looking forward to it, but don't know if it will make it to the middle of the country. Sounds like it releases in October/November. I'm guessing the November is pretty accurate. Most of the beer is going to stay NoCal or be shipped to Delaware, NY or Penn (brewed at SN). So if anyone wants to make a quick buck and I can't get it out here at my glorious beer store where I bought the Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale I am "sipping" right now...keep your eyes open.

The label should look something like this...

OK, maybe not like that.

Like this??

Thanks for the heads up; I saw the dock sale, too... I think it was $14, minimum 4 cases. A deal, for sure... I may have to swing by on my way to campus on Friday. I dont know how long Okto will be available...

OK so most of you probably know this already, but the Brrr is back!



This really is a VERY delicious red. Really smooth, and when you look at the label you will be surprised when read it is 7.2% because it does not taste like a beer on that ABV level. A fine way to warm up during the winter months!

dang. I like the brrr very much. I requested that my locala grocer carry this last year (they already carry the hef and red hook long hammer and esb), but had no luck.

sigh....

I'll bet you could get someone to smuggle some up to you this weekend. Can you fit a 12 pack in your luggage?

The latest conquest; I anxiously await the fridge to ice it down:



Anyone sampled it yet? I've heard good things...

Is that a picture of the one you are mailing out this way, or the one you are keeping for yourself?

I will bring it to Vegas for you.... oh, wait... guess I will just have to consume it here...

Double ouch.

Bud (Beer) with a Komakaze or Jack Daniels backing it up, I am not one for the strong beer but I did buy Basketballhead a big,big mug that he could'nt finish. It was in that local downtown/Pub in Portland (name escapes me, the one we saw coach Joel at after Pepperdine game).

I knew it was pretty strong if Basketballhead couldn't down it all. He will be ready to drink with you all with his UFC MMA buddy like last year. I smell a rear naked choke for Basketballhead from his UFC buddy by the end of tourney,lol

PS-Basketballhead said Micky McConnell from St Marys will be a major heckling target this year being that Kramer,Mickey, and Basketballhead are all Mesa boys.
