So far:

Sam Adams 24pk sampler from Costco

A few Heinekens

Makers Mark

Bookers

1792 Bourbon

Advil

Assuming you mean the summer sampler, I just picked one up from Sam's (helluva price too, $24). Really like the new Kolsch. Saison is okay, but I like the Kolsch alot more.

[Rick James]

Tried an Innis&Gunn Oak Aged Beer yesterday. Aged in rum casks. Pretty damn good. Sweet like a Newcastle, but not too sweet. Really, really good. would order again.

Cigar City Bolita Double Brown - I may have a new favorite beerRussian River Consecration. Question; Are all sours have a wine taste to them; Don't like wine and the couple of sours I have tried don't work for me??

Cigar City Brewing Big Sound Scotch Ale is one of the best beers I've ever had. They are making good stuff there in Tampa.I think they offer tastings... hmmmm... I'm only about an hour away.

From what I can recall, I would rank themPlinyFoundersFirestoneMaharajaStarted with the flying fish, since I usually like their stuff. Surprisingly light color and not that heavy. Guy next to me is heavily promoting the hill farmstead, so will do that next. Definitely will make sure to do the dorado as noted above.

Abner is on my short list if beers to try. Head its awesome. Love Tongue Buckler, but it isn't really a DIPA. It's an imperial red that some from the brewery told me is essentially a young barely wine.

Abner was very nice. Very clean, very popular around here.

Uinta dubhe imperial ipa is very good.

 

[Please See Mine]

Made my way through all 6 I wanted.

Sebowski is right about Tongue Buckler, really not an DIPA. Probably my least favorite of the evening, but likely in large part due to the mix of others. They also had a version of it aged in bourbon barrels, but didn't try that one.

I thought that Uinta Dubhe Black IPA was really, really good and I gave it my vote. The Abner was excellent and several people liked it better than Elder.

Saved the Dorado for last, so may or may not give it a totally fair review. Not my favorite, but had the most distinctive character. Will need to try again first.

 

[Sebowski]

Does Sake count as beer?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I was at an event put on by Central Waters of Amherst Wisconsin tonight. This is really a great brewery. I love their popular beers - the Mud Puppy Porter and Satin Solstice Stout as well as their IPA and APA. They are what I consider a classic midwest brewery - all about balance and quality, and not about the extremes. The highlights were the Bourbon Barrel Stout and a 2008 Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine, some great stories about the brands and brewery history and just generally a good time with some good friends tonight.

Really. She thinks all these fancy beers are just horrible. They make her gag just by smelling them. She has two bud lights on ice EVERY night of her life, chilling by her pool, chatting on the phone after work -- for over 10 years. I'm somewhere in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Kernville is about an hour and a half away, but that's local for me.

Gator/Chaos cornhole?How far are you from the beautiful San Joaquin Valley?

An hour and a half or so to Bakersfield. I shoot pigs in the Tehachapis every other month, Tejon Ranch regular, but that's about as close as I get to that lovely valley. I'll beat the heat for a week on the Central Coast this summer. Cambria/Cayucos/Morro Bay. Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill cornhole in late July would work for me. If you think a trip to Fesno is in the works, well, you're dreamin'.

My brother rents a ranch and gudes people on pig hunts in the hills east of Visalia. Big time hunter, he is.

I say we meet in the middle and cornhole Tanner

I was being coy about having almost of case of it. (see this thread )I still may take you up on that though.

I'm still too cool for FB.

RR Consecrationfrom Sebowski awhile back...interesting

I think that thing is probably around 2 years old now. What did you think? I've been thinking of opening another one of those. Hope you split it with a few people. Pretty hard to take down a 750 of that guy.

It was good, not as sour as I was expecting. Mellower than it probably was earlier.I drank it alone. Took me awhile. I've been drunk since like 5:30 PM.
