Fetching my first FAT TIRE right this very second.

The two Cantillons I've had I wasn't too impressed. But I haven't had any of the "high level" ones ($25 and up). Cantillons only recently came available to me, so all in due time I suppose. There are quite a few of them to check outCool. Heard good things about Oudbeitje. Still a Cantillon fan, especially after Mahar's had the straight uncut lambic on tap last year. Insanely tart, four of us drank it like fish while 10 others looked at us like

There are so many of them... and some of them are like the Fantomes, just plain strange yet can-I-have-another? Some are just...eh. I've yet to have a Cantillon in bottle knock my socks off (have a 1996 bottle of Geueze in the vault for someday), but on tap is a different story entirely. The one that Mahar had on tap was too tart even for the staff. I think my buddy and I emptied the keg or did a good job at it. Scary when there are three bars in driving distance wih that on tap on a semi-regular basis.The two Cantillons I've had I wasn't too impressed.

Moand and Dove in Amherst MA has it on a regular basis, and my guess is you'll see it at their new place in Northampton, which could be an epic beer bar when it opens in the next couple of months.
Met the Moaner (Dan) a few times - great guy who is so far beyond passionate for beer it's scary. And his business sense is first rate - will likely be a millionaire (or close on it) before 35, and cool on him if he is. Absolutely raises the beer intelligence of the region by a few points just by being here - same with Mahar, Billy, and the cast of characters over on Madison.

Man, just saying that gave me a buzz, and grew me beard.

It really is a unique beer. Interesting blend of roasted, smoked, sweet and even sour malt flavors. And a nice alcohol mule kick towards the end
My tastes/sinuses could never grasp all that, but more power to ya.I do know what I like, and on that note, here goes my 44th fluid oz. of Fat Tire...down the pipe!

The "This here" part was classic.Okay, time for a Skoal, and when I come back, I will reveal the FBG I talked about with close connections to Stone Brewery.That's from my neck of the woods
I forgot to do this a few weeks ago, when mentioned. No big deal, but I hope he gets inundated with requests because of it.

I think if my sister were dating that guy, I'd threaten to marry him if she weren't going to.regularguy

Had another card game on the "beer porch" last night. Finally wrapped up around 3 AM. Had a couple of Celebration Ales and then a bomber of Avery Maharaja IIPA before switching to Makers (first liquor I've had in six months). The Maharaja was pretty good, but it wasn't up to the same level as DFH 90 min., Hercules, Ruination, etc. Just decent.

Currently drinking a Stone RIS. After this, got some Dogfish 90min and Stoudts OIS in the queue.

Only a few weeks ago discovered the store by me that sells good beers. Been using this thread as a guide. I'm sure I'll post more often in this thread when I become more acclimated with these types of beers.

More 06.06.06 info
We’re really happy with this year’s Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale. This is a very dark ale fermented with Belgian Trappist yeast, so the flavors in it are really deep and complex. The Belgian yeast clove notes combine nicely with the roast malt flavors, with dried cherry and anise undertones. The flavors imparted by the special roasted malt are very rich, smooth, and silky. It will be interesting to see how this beer ages, and how the smooth roasted malt characters evolve with the spicy Belgian yeast character over time.
A case for now and a case for later.

Rogue Mocha Porter this afternoon, probably followed by a Deschutes Black Butte Porter.
Found out my local store (Liquid Solutions) just got in some AleSmith Speedway Stout - picked up one for later tonight and one to put up for a while.
Will definitely be looking for the 06.06.06 there next week.

I just drove a total of two hours across the border into Tennessee today to pick up some Arrogant ******* and Ruination. I used a festival in Johnson City as my excuse. I can't wait until Stone decides to make it out here to North Carolina.Arrogant *******....
