Not in the busch beer price bracket :D

I haven't ordered anything yet cause of shipping issues; but gonna have to try it one of these days; damn the shipping costs full speed ahead.

They give good explanations of the different varieties of beers and history.

GBR

For me it's New Castle, Guinness, Red Trolley or Blue Moon. Don't really have a urge to drink a beer I can see through clearly. Old age I guess. :dunno :cheers

My buddies and I used to go to that store every couple weeks when I was in school. Then we would have a beer tasting night, which eventually just turned into everyone getting trashed (shocking I know)

La Folie man, one of my all time favorites! I just had a sour that was shipped directly from Belgium last night. Sour as sour gets but La Folie still gets the edge

Or most German beers. Any Crescent Moon/Huber Haus/Beertopia fans here?

Edit: I'd better add my getting drunk/fishing beer as well. Don't judge me.

Anybody ever had Sam Adams Utopia? Had it at a buddies house, sh#t tastes like pancakes! Sooooo good, doubt I would spend $200 on it but it was worth trying

 
How about anything from the smokestack series from Boulevard? Just had their Collaboration #2 white IPA. Really good summer IPA, not overly hoppy at all. My buddy just found 2 cases of Bourbon Barrel Quad in Iowa and is bringin some of that home. That stuff is amazing, especially after it has aged for a few months/year.

Absolutely agree. Both have a nasty skunky taste. I was just finishing out the quote.

No doubt, I just don't understand why in the hell people drink them...

It's hard to find green bottles fresh, but when you do the taste difference is night and day. Just like Corona and Landshark. That's why I go for Rolling Rock, it's easier to find fresh.

Absolutely! Love that stuff. I get quite excited when I see it on tap at Jakes or Bricktop (before they closed.)

Sours are definitely a love it or hate it style. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.

 
Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout. A stout aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for a few months. Great flavor (if you like bourbon)but don't drink too many. It's 13+% ABV. I believe.
