Let's talk good beer

[over the mountain]

bell's just started distribution in MD and i am going through their offerings not named 2 hearted ale (one of my fav). I used to drive to DC to get 2 hearted.

I tried bells lager by the lake this weekend. pretty good but not something i would routinely buy. im going to try the midwestern ale and another kinda golden ale offering (i forgot the name) next.

chico - ive been meaning to try lagunitas pilsner. that may be a good crisp clean summer beer.

bell's distribution is insanely quick. on md and Dc shelves are beers that are less than 2 weeks old. just insane.

monument city is coming out with a new IPA. i tried a shot from a tester growler and it was pretty good. hard to tell from the little i had but its not as good as 51 rye. its more or less another decent mosaic IPA .. which there are way to many of on the shelves to begin with. i wish they went ahead w a pale ale they had planned instead.

wow, stone enjoy by and 90 min made the top 10? wow. they are good solid beers but top 10? thats the thing about beer or food or women .... to each his own. there is no right or wrong in the world of personal preference.
