It's funny how it seems like the great breweries concentrate in very small geographic areas.You stink. No, seriously, you do. Cask Hop Devil is one of the great pleasures on this earth.
I still remember my first trip to Victory. Came in from the west. You can't see the freaking place from the west. Covaleski is one hell of a brewer and a really cool dude to boot. Two of their ex-assistant brewers recently reopened the brewpub in Pittsfield MA - outstanding beer and very good food as well. Highly recommended if you head outside of the 309 corridor - but with all of the great breweries and brewpubs in SE PA, is there really a need to?

I seriously love the Victory brewing company. It was a beautiful day when they started distributing out to California. It had been many years since I had had them.And the Storm King....oh the Storm King. What a wonderful stout.You stink. No, seriously, you do. Cask Hop Devil is one of the great pleasures on this earth.

Now on to Victory's 10 yesr Alt.
This was on tap at one of my local beer haunts. Unfortunately it lasted less than a week and I was left out in the cold. I'll keep an eye out to see if it makes it down here in bottles. At least the Hop Devils in the fridge will console me.

I can't believe how excited I get when a new beer delivery arrives. Opening it up is better than Christmas. Getting the chance to put my hands on bottles that I've only dreamed of is really, really cool. I feel like a little kid right now.
Thanks Wingnut. You're good people. I especially liked how you packed the Dreadnaught IPA .... like you were preparing it for an interstate pileup while on delivery. I kid, but with a beer like that, I would have done the same thing. It worked however. It, as well as the rest, came through perfectly. If anybody wants a rundown of what was in the box, it's a few pages back in this thread.
Also, some of this thread's regulars, like Kilgore, 3c's, bakes, Jaysus, and others should really sign up for Wingnut's Beer it Forward. It is a blatant rip off of the Beer Advocate idea, but it is a really cool concept that would give all of us beer lovers a chance to spread the joy of craft brews.

what's the word on Fat Tire Amber Ale?
new restaurant (Old Chicago's Pasta & Pizza) is opening up here.. they serve over 100 beers (mostly standard ####) but this is one of them. worth a try?
they also have, of all things, Chimay Red.

For an underdeveloped beer palate, Fat Tire is worth a try.

Fat Tire is decent brew. I conider it along the lines of a Newcastle. It kind of has a chocolate or coffee aftertaste, which is kind of nice. Where i live, it is now served everywhere, but it is good. I also went to the brewery (new belgium), and they make lots of good stuff.It is not in the same league as the belgians, like Chimay.

Ranked #12 in the world according to beeradvocate.comhttp://beeradvocate.com/top_beers.phpi know nothing about it.Are you kidding? Celebrator Doppelbock is one of the best brews ever created on planet earth. No joke.my other options are St Pauli Girl, Miller, Bud, Coors, etc. this is about as exotic as it gets there i think.
beer list
guess that shoots to the top of the list.

i've had quite a few of those.. Pilsner Urquell, McEwan's, Boddington's, Anchor Steam. none of the Zima's.
mr. furley
Footballguy
there's definitely something wrong with drinking Zima. that product should be banned from the market.

I have not. Barley Wine's are not really my thing. But I think I may add back in to my rotations.
