I'll list a couple that are just not my favorite, no 1 is a va brewery star hill and it's called northern lights. Sux. Serra Nevada torpedo, sam Adam latitude, dogfish head 60 minute, stone arrogant bastard "strong ale", devil backbone 8 point ipa and never a fan of the victory hop devil.

Couple average I'd say new Belgium ranger, goose island, and smutty nose

A lot of brewers are trending towards more drinkable sessions styles these days which is definitely a good thing.

DFH 60 minute and Torpedo are two of my favs.

I think with torpedo is it has a "syrupy" taste to it...I taste this sometimes with hoppy beers. Dunno what it is.

nee brewery from baltimore called monument city brewing. they just started bottling their 51 rye ipa and it is awesome.

meet the 2 brothers ata tasting friday. i think they brew through a co op which sounds cool. local brew people working next to each other.

51 rye should put them on the map

[HailGreen28]

Natty Green beers taste skunky. And anything with "hops" or "hoppy" in the name tastes like a soda fountain is on the fritz, and not putting out enough syrup.

Filled up a growler of this yesterday

Hop To It IPA | Argyle Brewing Company | Greenwich, NY | BeerAdvocate

Small brewery in my hometown, they started up about a year ago, just wanted to give them a shout.

Our Story

My tiny ass hometown in Greenwich NY where I graduated with about 80 other kids and they have an awesome brewery, literally a 5 minute walk from where I lived growing up. Great beer made by some great guys living their dream. It's really what beer is all about.

Great beer weekend for me, as I was able to knock off 2 more breweries from my MD distribution list.

Every month, Flying Dog hosts a Happy Hour and Movie at a classic theatre in Frederick. This past Thursday they showed The Blues Brothers and were giving samples of their latest Brewhouse Rarity: Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout. Which I found a bit underwhelming. The spices used came and went very quickly, and the chocolate flavor wasn't up to par. During the hour before the movie, Flying Dog beers are $3 (They change each month, but they had K-9 Winter Ale, Pale Ale and Raging Bitch). After the movie, went to BWW and got an Antietam 1605 Red Ale and DuClaw's Dirty Little Freak. The red ale was good, while the DuClaw beer was ok. Took some getting used to, but enjoyed it. Still like Maui's Coconut Porter better.

Went to a great beer store Saturday night on my way to dinner with my wife and another couple. They have 12 beers on tap that can be purchased in samples/pints/growlers. Tons of different beers and wines. Glad I had a limited budget, as I could have spent hours and a ton more money in there.

Peak Organic was doing a tasting, so I tried 4 of their wares: Fresh Cut (Hoppy Pils), IPA, Nut Brown, and Hop Noir (Black IPA). All were tasty, with my fave being the Hop Noir. Ended up with a 6er of IPA and a 6er of Nut Brown. Also got bombers of Southern Tier's Creme Brulee, Lagunitas Cappuchino Stout, and a quart of Lagunitas Sucks.

After dinner (where I had a few Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin's), we went to a local brewpub, where I had their oatmeal stout. Tasty, with a nice toasty oat flavor. Then ran to another bar, where I had Sierra Nevada's Hoppy Lager. Awesome beer. Could have had many more of these.

Last night for the game, I had a few Peak Organic IPAs and a can of Red Shedman's Pump House IPA, which was tasty. Local vineyard that also does hop farming and brewing. Gonna have to go visit now after trying their beer.

At noon today, I'm running over to Flying Dog to get a few bottles of their bottle aged Gonzos. They did half in bourbon barrels and half in rum barrels.

And then I won't be able to buy beer for a while...

Yeah, I need to try that Sierra Nevada Hoppy Lager, it was staring me down in the beer aisle the other day. Went with a local brewery IPA.

Bud Is Proudly 'Macro' in Swagger-Filled Super Bowl Ad | Special: Super Bowl - Advertising Age

lol budweiser. cheap, mass produced beer...water down. They have the nerve to show that last night?

[MTK]

Bud is trash, I don't care if this comes off snobbish but if Bud is your weapon of choice I think less of you as a human.

[over the mountain]

idk. every beer has its moment.

i drink a cold bottle of budweiser or can of natty bo - tailgating, day time party outdoors during summertime, partying at beach, airplane or you walk into a bar and they have a very limited selection.

dumb commercial on budweiser's part.

----

sierra nevada hop hunter ipa - i went to one craft beer store and they didnt have it as of yesterday. coming to shelves soon i suppose. i hope it doesnt cost over 8 bucks a bumper.
