On a side note, I'm going to pick up that Okocim in the next couple of minutes. Tonight is pool night, so I'll be out having a few beers tonight. I'm hoping to see the Sierra Nevada Toronado Ale on tap tonight (supposed to be like the Celebration). I'm hoping that I can pack your beer tonight depending on when I get home.Believe or not, I've only sampled a handful of those beers. Half of them I have never even heard of. Bolded below is what I've tried.
Yeah, I was looking back on that and just yearning for them to have another one. I only listed a small portion of what was there. They had over 300 different casks. The last few years, they haven't been able to find a location where they could get the liquor permits that they need. I really really hope they get it straight for 2007, but I have a feeling that this is one festival that won't happen again. :(Believe or not, I've only sampled a handful of those beers. Half of them I have never even heard of. Bolded below is what I've tried.
Hah, loser!Believe or not, I've only sampled a handful of those beers. Half of them I have never even heard of. Bolded below is what I've tried.

Is there any way to make the BeerSnob clique angry than to suggest that you have Westy?Piss off, Furley.
Yeah, busy day at work.I thought posting those lists would generate more discussion than this. Maybe Skylord and Wingnut are offline. Oh well.
WOW! Does that guy want to make that trade again?eepeedance:!!!!

That was about when I really started paying attention - before that I had just luckily been gravitating towards the easy-to-find good beer, not searching out the harder-to-find better beer.I wish I knew when mine was coming. Ordered it from Belgian Shop a couple weeks ago.Is there any way to make the BeerSnob clique angry than to suggest that you have Westy?Piss off, Furley.![]()

Piss off, Furley.

Can't agree with you more. That beer isn't anything like it used to be. None of theirs are really. Hope the same doesn't happen with Goose Island now.Having Redhook ESB from a keg here at a work party.
This brewery has gone seriously down hill.
Dude,Aren't those all AB products? Not sure why you're so excited. ####, you can probably ride your 10-speed down to the Piggly Wiggly down State Route 48 to get those. It figures though. Not like you sent him anything worth a #### either.eepeedance:!!!!

Must be Amatuer Hour over at the Furley house.![]()

I was thinking these exact thoughts as I was drinking this beer.Fact of the matter is, when you expand distribution you expand your output. When you expand your output, new equipment and bulk ingredients are required. New equipment and ingredients are bound to change the flavor of your beer.Can't agree with you more. That beer isn't anything like it used to be. None of theirs are really. Hope the same doesn't happen with Goose Island now.Having Redhook ESB from a keg here at a work party.
