I am the Beer God!
5 year anniversary and a present for my wife completing law school. And the best part, poker is paying for it.You suck.Guess I will read the reviews when I get back from Cancun.Been on vacation since Saturday and am rollin' with local brews this week. The fridge at home is well stocked with Tip Top offerings, so Sunday should be a very, umm, *stout* day.
Nicely done all around! Seriously - have a great time. Hopefully there will be decnet brew and if not, there's always booze.

I'd probably go with something local. But maybe Bakes is right. The gut buster might be more fun. You certainly have to stay in the lager territory. Can't have anything too crazy out there.Keg. We are going to plant that bad boy at first and see if it last's an hour.Talking keg or bottles/cans? Playing ball, drinking from a keg using plastic cups...About anything will do. If it's bottles I'd probably go Sam Adams.

How many people would be drinking off of it? If you do it with only 18 people, killing it in less than an hour would be a serious accomplishment.Keg. We are going to plant that bad boy at first and see if it last's an hour.

There will be 8 of us. Last time 10 of us killed one in just about 2 hours. The 1hr was a playful exaggeration. Sloshball for us = two teams of 3-4. I have a good sized backyard with the left, right and center feilds measured off. Two bats. One will get thrown over the fence or broken. 10-12 of those big wiffle balls. The one's that really sting if they hit you in the face. And we go from there. Keg at first. beer must be gone to score.(short bases) If you hit a HR the opposing team has to chug a brew. Good times.

Tip Top was good enough to include a pair of Depends to put on before unpacking, as he knew I'd wet myself.This is friggin insane.
to followJust cracked the FatMax homebrew, his "Hoppy Amber". Pours darker than a typical amber with a huge fluffy head and tons of bubbles racing to the surface. Smells of sweet caramel malts with hops in the background. Tons of caramel malt with a bit of hops in there taste wise. Much like the smell. Medium bodied. Not bad at all, especially if this really was your first try at homebrew.

Yes. I thought I was done and had arranged everything for pictures. Got pictures of NG's box first. Then I noticed the smaller box in the one you sent. There is like ten more beers in there.
The Summit Great Northern Porter and Lake Superior Special Ale are of BOTM, fyi.Yes. I thought I was done and had arranged everything for pictures. Got pictures of NG's box first. Then I noticed the smaller box in the one you sent. There is like ten more beers in there.

Not a one. Some of them I had no idea existed. Holy crap there is a lot of beer in the Midwest. Out off NG's I'd only sampled Dreadnaught. That Sprecher's reminds me that I still haven't drink the Left Hand oak imperial stout you sent ages ago. Third coast old ale, Sibernian night, mead, two different bourbon barrel beers....you out did yourself. Just crazy. I've got some serious work out in front of me to match this box.

Actually I take that back, I've had the Sprecher black bavarian but haven't rated it.
Excellent to hear. The 10 squared from Fish Tale is retired. I should've bought everything they had of that one.
It's a good feeling, isn't it?
Skylord
Footballguy
Yeah, but now that I have the shelves up for it and the wine....the wife is preasuring me to buy more wine because that side is lacking.

No? I just had a Dread, and now Im having the GI. Theyre not too far apart at all. Very similar, and in the same neighborhood.
I don't think it is as good as Dreadnaught, but agree that it is a stellar IIPA. Neither are as good as Dreadnaught on tap though.No? I just had a Dread, and now Im having the GI. Theyre not too far apart at all. Very similar, and in the same neighborhood.

I know you guys have been saying this all along. I'll have to try another bottle one of these days.But as far as I'm concerned, no IPA or DIPA comes close to Dreadnaught. I've got a Ruination chilling in the fridge for this weekend to rate, so that should be an interesting test.No? I just had a Dread, and now Im having the GI. Theyre not too far apart at all.

I didnt say it was "as good", but its in the same tier, IMO. A notch below, but maybe the closest Ive had to the almighty Dread.
I am heading to my local est. for a beer fridge refill... I need some steller ideas. I am a snob like ya'll, but usually stick to what I know, so would love to try some new ones. Please suggest, and I will try those if available and if never had.
You will be my favorite beer sn00b if u hook me up with a winner like the Dogfish IPA's.

Do a tasting of both, one after the other. Im really surprised how close it is...To me, its not *quite* as good, but its alot closer than I though any IIPA could be (as far as all the IIPAs Ive tried so far)2nd Edit: With the GI IIPA, I dont get the "mustiness" flavor I get in the Dread...for some reason when I drink the Dread I get some musty wet-blanket tones in there somewhere, but for some reason, its not a bad thing.I know you guys have been saying this all along.

What do they have??? What have YOU had??? More info needed
You should have tons of good options being in MI. Can't go wrong with Founders or Bell's. For Founders, I really like the Centennial IPA and Red's Rye for their year round stuff. Bell's Two Hearted obviously, but maybe you will be lucky and run across one of their new beers; Hopslam (DIPA), Hell Hath No Fury (Belgian), or their Oktoberfest.
