Not a huge fan of the pumpkin ales in general. I had dogfish head's version and thought it was pretty decent.

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of this year's celebration ale. Hophead heaven.

Not of fan of Octorfest or Winter Seasonals. Most seem to be "spicey"...more a fan of the spring, summer seasonals.

You'd probably like the [URL="http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/29"]Marzen style beers[/URL] then, that they serve in Germany during Octoberfest. I usually see Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr in my local shops. They aren't the pumpkin style autumn ales you usually see, but a very smooth drinking beer.

Irish Red Ale style......

Yeah ive seen this around lately. Gotta try it

Drinking a Shocktop Belgian White.

Eh. Its okay. People love Shock Top and I can't seem to get into it. Had the lemon shandy before this. 0/2

re: Let's talk microbrews good beer
 

I had a Blue Moon Belgian White with the orange slice off the tap at a local sports bar on Thursday night, and it was delicious. The first time I tried Blue Moon off tap at Nats Park a couple months ago it tasted flat (no orange slice w/ that), but the one I got served at the bar was very crisp and delicious, and the drops of orange juice from the slice I put in there worked very well.

I also tried a Shocktop Lemon Shandy at that container joint on Half Street right before the centerfield entrance to Nats Park a few weeks ago, and it was not good. Had very little flavor to it, and it tasted slightly warm too. Maybe I should stop trying beers at/near Nats Park lol. Still gonna try their Belgian White eventually though.

Yeah, think Ive posted about them before. Very good beer

A new taproom opened recently in my town, 16 taps of craft brews. I've been in heaven. Here's a few of their recent beer boards.

Picked up a 4 pack of this tonight, almost choked when they rang it up at $20, I didn't realize it's also 15% alcohol. Definitely looking forward to trying one. This is supposed to be some legendary stuff.
