You failed to mention how ####ing hard it is to remove the ####ing wax off the top of those things. After that neverending battle, a bud light would have tasted good.Certainly. I like the double more than the triple (but I really not fond of triples)Almost picked these up over the weekend. Would you recommend them?They are Anderson Valley Brother David double and tripleOmmegang Abbey, Hennepin, Three Philosphers, and Witte.Allagash Triple and Grand Cru.I don't know if it is good or bad that, despite the blurry photo, I can immediately recognize five of those beers.Went to a Beer tasting the other day![]()
The third from the right is a Lost Coast Great White Beer (I think).
The first one on the right might be a Pranqster.
The only ones I don't know are the fourth and fifth ones from the left, but I am guessing they are belgian style.
Those are tough. The Sweetwater Festive Ale was the hardest I've ever had.

I trying to figure out how to do a free kick without seeing the ####### crosshairs. . . .Quiet around here. I'm stuck at work, whats everyone elses excuse?
Regular monday night poker game. Drank a bunch (about 9?) of SNPA's from the keg, then had a Hercules.Quiet around here. I'm stuck at work, whats everyone elses excuse?
pretty sure that there are a handful of guys here that would trade for the Cadillac Mountain Stout.Besides chatting with friends, the only thing that got me through the Sox douching tonight: Cadillac Mountain Stout. It was pretty tasty but a disappointment after reading that it was the top competitor to the Allagash brews here in Maine.
I sampled some Allagash last week and tried this tonight. All these beers taste very rich, but almost too rich. I'm just wondering if I should be starting lower on the food chain so to speak. I'm only 21 so if I come off as not appreciating these complex beers, that's why. I guess drinking real beer has come as sort of a shock after drinking watery domestics for so long.
I'm hoping to hit up the D.L. Geary's and Casco Bay breweries this week.
I'll lmao if they brought the Gayant back in the can, not the bottlegb my brother.... he and his wife just got back from a trip to Europe. he emailed this morning to tell me he picked up a bottle of: Les Brasseurs de Gayant la Goudale
and "one other beer from some small town"
nice!
But Furley I heard you like it in the canhe knows better![]()
at least he better. he said "we picked up two, one for us and one for you."
so i'm hoping they split a 750 and not a can![]()

Can I get a HELL YEAHhttp://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/746284Escondido, San Diego County, CA --- On a day that is never the same, but always consistent, Stone Brewing Co. releases a beer that is never the same, but always consistent.

Stone Brewing first released the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series on February 2nd, 2002 and has done so consecutively, for five years now, one year, one month, and one day after the last edition. This year's version happens to come out on June 6th, 2006, next year's edition will be released July 7th, 2007, followed by August 8th, 2008, all the way to December 12th, 2012.
Stone’s “Epic” saga isn’t even half way over, but is already taking the beer community by storm. A beer that started as an original, quirky concept has morphed into an enigmatic quest for beer enthusiasts everywhere. The early years of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale are actually so revered by beer geeks worldwide that single bottles are commanding prices of $400 or more per bottle, and according to the Wall Street Journal, the Stone 02.02.02 Vertical Epic Ale is one of the rarest craft beers in America.![]()
The grand premise of the series is that each edition is to be brewed in a different style from the previous year, and since the beers are bottle conditioned (naturally carbonated in the bottle) they will mature when cellared, providing the beer enthusiast with a Stone Vertical Epic Ale tasting to look forward to sometime after 12.12.12 when the last edition is released. To aid these beer enthusiasts, Stone Brewing lists the areas of the country that are slated to get an allocation of the Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale. For some of the 19 states, that are getting it, the company's website goes even further to provide a list of retailers.
As with previous editions of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series, Stone is again posting a detailed homebrewing recipe complete with hints, anecdotes and words of wisdom courtesy of Head Brewer, Mitch Steele and Lead Brewer, John Egan. Additionally, Stone is challenging homebrewers to brew their favorite Stone Vertical Epic Ale and submit it to the brewery for a competitive judging. The recipes and competition guidelines can be found here.
Stone Brewing Co. is located in Escondido, CA and is one of the fastest growing breweries in the country. Additionally, Stone Brewing is one of the highest rated breweries in the world according to both RateBeer.com and BeerAdvocate.com.
