Need to quit, quitting......

One pint of good micro-brew is better than a case of "fizzy yellow wussy beer". (borrowed from Stone Brewing)

Best thing about drinking beer for 20 years?  It is not the tiny little beer belly.  It is being firm in my knowledge that a piss water beer only once crossed my lips.  I tried to drink a Bud once.  I was lost in the desert for ten hours in S.E Oregon after a cross country paraglider flight.  I finally got a ride and the guy offered me a Bud.  General rule of thumb when in SE Oregon; When a rancher offers to share his beer while driving down a lonely road, you accept it with much gratitude.  I still did not finish it.......

No, we're saving up for our Christmas time ED (new [my turn] BMW 335, picking up at the factory in Munich), I'm sure to enjoy a beer or two along with some Gluhwein (mulled wine).

Be sure to stop at the Falling Rock and have a pint or three.     

Real men brew their own.

What he said.

Been hunting German Pils lately -not an easy task in CO. Presently enjoying both Warsteiner and König.

Not German, but by far my favorite pils.

Nice. The only Austrian beer I've found here is Stiegl (both Pils and Gold), which I enjoy, too.

I had this at the 19th Annual Holiday Ale Festival in Portland.

QuoteOakshire Brewing
Prestidigitation
White Chocolate Milk Stout • ABV: 7.0% • IBUs: 23
With a sleight of hand and a few smoke and mirrors, Oakshire's created this anomaly of a beer style. Blonde in color, yet full-bodied and mildly sweet, this milk stout uses coffee, cocoa nibs and star anise to produce the flavors and aromas of a milk stout with the color of a pale ale.

It looked like a lager & tasted like a stout.

Enjoying some of this right now.

Finally got to try Sam Adams Utopius over the weekend.

PRO-very tasty, Very high (28%ish) alcohol, very cool bottle. Will hold for a while once open

CON-very pricey (and I refuse to buy it on the secondary market. luckily I got a guy in New London CT), Not something you "drink" more of a sipping drink like port. It is a pallet wrecker, after it everything else tasted off.
