That gave me a good chuckle, thanks.NO ####!!!That's great. Seriously. One of the bartenders at Mahar's, when he hit beer number 2,000 on the beer tour, was given the choice of having any brew he wanted on tap. He chose... Schlitz. Took Mahar a good three weeks to find a keg because it's just not available on tap in the Northeast.Rob, give some of the micros a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. If not, the regulars will be there for ya... but if you can still find Schlitz, I'm dead serious here, try it. Better than any of the big 3 and a good sight less expensive as well. Plus you can hike your shorts up around your chest and pretend you're 60.
saw Schlitz on tap today in Two Rivers. no joke. almost had one at 2 PM just cause it was there.
Of all the basic American light lagers, I'll take Schlitz any day of the week.

seriously. me and the missus went off the radar today to do something different... wandered on down to Two Rivers.. it was on tap at a little local down there. they had the basics. Miller, Bud, etc. and SCHLITZ!there are PLENTY of places in Milwaukee that have it on tap. the place i used to play softball for has a Schlitz neon sign out front.. it was on tap there as well.NO ####!!!That's great.

i MIGHT be able to grab a handful. some of it is already ear-marked for trades.. but IF the guy pulls through and actually gets the 2 cases (despite confirmation i'm still holding my breath... even though Tyranena has stated that the BWfH will be more widely distributed) i can probably snag what's necessaryPM me before Friday and we can hammer it out.

I hear ya!!! Some of the Cali brews just kick serious booty as well - and as I'm currently in my hophead phase (as soon as fall comes I WANT MALT!!! but spring and summer? Bring on the lupulin!!!!) it's been "do I go local or West Coast???" every time I hit the beer store. Helluva fine dilemma.There are a lot of good beers available here. I do get a lot of beer from travelling around the Northeast, though. If I go somewhere, damn straight I'm gonna find the local micro. Helps having family from Boston to Charlotte. REALLY helps having NC finally pop the cap.You have access to some damn fine beers in NY. I wish someone would ship to you in BIF to get this over with. I'd like to work out a trade on the side but don't want to water down the BIF sending poolI imagine I'd have over 2,000 if I had rated all the different beers thru my life. It was a difficult decision to begin rating after all this time, but I'm willing to give it my all.I've been there for three years give or take. I just look at the #s and think "Yep, I like beer too much" and then crack open a cold one.You've got an ### load of beers rated at BA Bakes. I've got a long ways to go
That's nothing. Check out Venom's reviews.
. I think I could use an imperial stout. Lets see whats cold...

No, I have Expedition, Kalamazoo, and NG Cherry Stout. Ton of diffent barleywines. A good assortment of Belgians. Scotch, Brown, Amber, some of everything. I do have a lot of hoppy brews though.Are they all IPA & DIPAs or are you venturing out of that realm?74 with a ton of doublesHow many beers do you have around your house right now?

On to the Middle Ages X. Wow has this one matured after five months. Almost a whiskeyish nose, if whiskey had hops in it. Alcohol is becoming more pronounced, then it fades into an almost floral hop/malt balance followed by an grapefruity bitterness with some fresh red bell pepper (and I haven't had THAT in two days). Yet the burp is almost all hops. Really wild transformation.

Yep, KT and I were discussing that one. Yet another that I can't get in this beer hell known as New Orleans.

Wow, I'm just catching up. Looks like I missed a busy evening yesterday. The G/F was gone last night, so I decided to kick back and watch a movie. I had already had a couple of Lagunitas Censored Red Ales, and a couple of Sudwerk Pils at this point. Maybe something else too.
So I popped 'Walk the Line' in the DVD player, poured a Duvel 750ml and started watching. When that was done, I refilled with a Stone RIS. In hindsight, that probably wasn't the best idea. When that was done, I was pretty loaded. Or I should say, I must have been pretty loaded, because I fell asleep right there on the couch for three hours. The G/F woke me up when she got home and ushered me into bed. I woke up early for screaming piss that was dying to get out, and noticed that she wasn't in bed with me. I knew immediately what hapenned. She went to the spare bedroom because I was snoring like a chainsaw. This tends to happen when I plowed out of my mind. Whoops.

I find myself cracking RIS's near the end of the evening as well, probably a habit that should be broken. Last night it was the Founders imperial stout that did me in.Wow, I'm just catching up.

Again, it's no Shiner, but it does have some body. Very lite tasting, but has a good flavor. Shiner Bock>>Red Stripe>Dos XX Amber>>>Amber Ultra>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bud Lite>>>>>Corona>>>>Heinecan(sp)=horse urin/skunk buttAllow me to take off myfor a sec...How is the amber compared to the standard ultra? I used to drink ultra as a palate cleanser between beers because it tasted like, well water. Does the amber actually have any flavor?

I really need to try that one, and soon.I was discussing brewing a homebrew sort of like this with George DePiro, the brewer over at the Pump Station and an award winning homebrewer in his own right. I figured something around 6%, Belgian yeast, heavy duty Munich malt, candi sugar, and Saaz out the wazoo. He sort of looked at me funny and said "...okaaaaay..."

Started with a Duck Rabbit porter while cleaning out the beer cellar - nice, basic, oily porter, not overly roasty or heavy, just a basic good drinkable beer.
Beer cellar finds: More ten year old homebrew that needs to be dumped than I feel like dealing with at the moment, several bottles I didn't know I had, and a dusty, cobwebbed stash of a homebrewed lambic that used (in part) whatever my buddy and I could culture up from the bottom of a bottle of Cantillon. One bottle is currently chilling because, if I'm going to try this stuff, it's going to be late tonight so if gastric disturbances occur it'll be on the company's dime. Do I feel lucky?

New guy in town. 
About 3 or 4 miles from my house.
Almost ready. Hope he does well. Hope moreso that his beers are good. He worked with Andy at St. George for a while.
