....seems to have done me in over the weekend. Home sick. Ugh. Who doesn't love great beer though.

for those in seattle, this week is the craft brewer's conference so be sure to go out and get your brew on. you will be sure to find most ales houses with their best beers pouring.

i know brouwer's will have the bottleworks 7th anniversary bourbon barrel imperial stout on tap. i believe it comes in at 9.5%.

chimay

yummy

chimay will mess you up good, thats for sure...i speak from experience

i have a few victory storm kings in my cellar that i've had there for about a year. took one out the other night. they have improved nicely. don't think i'll keep them down there much longer because i can't see them changing much more.

and remember all you beer geeks. good beer tastes much better when it is not ice cold. unless it is a pilsneer of course

Tripel Karmeleit
Six Point - NYC shit right cheah right cheah
DeKonnick
Duvel

to each his/her own j. i personally don't care for crappy beer. prolly, the tripel karmeleit is nice. i like a good dekonnick on a warm summer day too.

hitachnio nest white ale...WOW, its real good.

MArch, have you had their real ginger ale? interesting.

FRO, i love the arrogant bastard logo. their motto is "yellow fizzy beer is for wussies."

i actually haven't, but have heard about it. i can't find the beer here in LA except for in a thai restaurant. i actually emailed the west coast distributor to find out where i could buy it, he gave me a number and i haven't called yet as applications got in the way of my momentum.

i think i'll start my search again.

has anyone tried mothers milk?

it uses the sugar in lactose from milk to ferment into alchohal... i think

whats wrong with good old miller lite??

sam adam's white ale is amazing.

here is another beer book from the authority on beer and scotch.

I love Stone IPA soooo much.

One of the things I miss about Philly (along with cheesteaks and good college radio stations) is Yuengling Lager available at any bar in the city.

One of the best brew's I've ever had...

Bells Oberon is now available!

no one has mentioned Bud thank god, but I see the shite that is miller light.

We have been here before - my tipple is brewed across the road

Ithaca Beer Co.

bots, someone did mention bud actually. i've never had brains. oh, that last line reads great. is it english?

who wouldn't want to worship here. i have on several occasions...



church brew works, pittsburgh
yes, the microbrewery is in the apse, and you sit in pews.

Blue Point Brewery, Long Island.......Hoptical Illusion

switcheroo, my friends were in search of an old church to open their bar in. too bad the beers they list don't even break 5%.

e - all their current specialty beers are above 5%. i remember having something very belgian and was brewed with cherries...served in a 1 liter bottle with wine glasses...it was like 10 or 12%.

pittsburgh loves converting old churches into interesting things. they just closed "the sanctuary", a hip dance club with strict dress code. went out with a bang - the "last supper" was served on new year's eve. another one is being converted to upscale apartments. a jewish synagogue was converted into a tutor center.

ah yes, i see em now. thx for pointing that out.

DALES' PALE ALE is the best beer in a can-bar none
the OLD CHUB STOUT is not bad either
oskar blues

for a lager and in a can, a good session beer is bavik.

look at that selection! AND it's just a 10min stumble home for me.

I first reach for a cold Negra Modelo or a Bohemia and if i want to keep it classy with a canned beer, nothing like a Tecate con limon y sal.

if I had to choose.

when on a budget

A-I smell what you're dishin out-
PBR anytime

American micro > European import

carlsberg elephant beer. mmm
and you can never go wrong with a pint of stella or brooklyn brown.

appleseed, that is just a silly comment. there are good and bad from both groups you mention.

in the midwest i'd say bells,

in the west it would have to be fat tire, and the above image follows a real close second

Belgians do it better. Fancy: Corsendonk or Duvel. The ol' standby: Stella.
