On the Dog Fish Head 90 minute, be careful.

A few years ago my wife and i went away for our first weekend away from the kids.  Decided to ski, but hte mountain closed due to ice and wind.

Had my first dog fish head 90 at about noon.  Events got very hazy around 5.  Woke up at the quaint bed and breakfast at 6 am with the door to the room open, my pants/wallet /shoes in the halway, my wife sleeping in the bathroom (mind you we are USUALLY responsible almost 40 year olds), bed still made, a mess in the toilet, etc., etc...

Sounds like a great night if you ask me.  Also sounds like I NEED to try that stuff. 

waterloo dark is fantastic! and I see they changed the bottling since I've been up there last

Blue point blue berry ale and oatmeal stout

I had dinner at the Great Lakes Brewery a couple weeks ago. It's even better when fresh from the tap! Drank the Oktoberfest, of course.

+1 on the Rasputin.

+another for Rasputin.  A little sweeter and thicker than Guinness- and at 9% a 4 pack will get you toasty.

St Pauli Girl....in the 24oz bottle. Got a tall can of Tecate to back that up.

Most Oktoberfest brews.

After drinking the Rasputin the Guinness seems slightly watered down. Not to knock on Guinness, it is a good beer. Never the less....Try the Rasputin.

At 9% Three is enough to give me a hangover these days.

Black and blues, one of my Favorites. I live about 2 miles from the brewery.

Been hitting the Oktoberfest beers lately - NB Hoptober, Sam Adams October, Hacker-Pschorr (sp?) Oktober, and Widmer Okto.

August Schell Dark is my default beer in the fridge. Anything and everything else makes the rotation otherwise.

We drank Schell's Lakemaid Beer all summer, and I really like it.  It's a good, cold summertime lager, and it was a staple around here for 5 months.  Plus, the branding/marketing is good entertainment.

I like that place, but it's a bit expensive. It's nice to eat on the patio in the summer and enjoy the neighborhood.

I really like the offerings from Bell's. They have a special knack with stouts...

Bell's Double Cream Stout
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout
Bell's Expedition Stout
Bell's Java Stout

Bell makes probably 12 - 16 brews, probably my favorite micro brew. They are in Michigan, not sure how wide the distribution is, but well worth a try if you can find any.

Other than that I keep Brasserie Caracole's excellent Nostradamus along with Duvel Belgian Ale, and Leffe.

Beers are like seasons in my fridge, a variety of different beers find themselves in my fridge and come and go every few months. But the one beer that finds itself in my fridge as consistent as the sun in the sky is Shiner Bock. For those not in on the tastiness, it's brewed in Texas.
