GIVE ME YOUR BEER SUGGESTIONS!!

[pittsoccer33]

My girlfriend gets a radler at the Hofbrauhaus usually. This stuff came in 10oz cans and had I think 3.8%. If you want something like that get Bud Light Lime, IC Light Mango, or even better a Leinenkugel beer.

Oh man I love Monks. Think I'm going to Brauhaus Schmidt tomorrow

Is this supposed to be Summerfest? I've never heard of Summer Camp. If it is Summerfest, holy crap that is pricey.

The first beer on that list is the Allagash I had today. It was a little hoppy. I thought it was ok.

[count2infinity]

The one I'm actually most excited to try is the rye bock. Oskar Blues is one of my favorite breweries, and I love rye.

Bratwurst + German Potato Salad + Goedenacht = hell yes.

[the wicked child]

Also tried the Geestelijke. A bit more on the sour side compared to the Goedenacht. I like the latter much better.

It appears Deadspin already ranked the Sierra Nevada Summer Camp pack:

I've never had New Glarus, but my Chicago peeps rave about that brewery.

[Kraftster]

New Glarus is high on my beer bucket list. I understand that it is not available outside of Wisconsin other than as a gray market beer. I also understand that they make great sours and sell them at very reasonable prices.

[UVM2003]

Have we really come to deadspin ranking beer? Based on, well everything they've posted on beer in the past, they've shown they know dick about beer.

Just as true

Lolol at the first comment:

Garbage, ranked:

1) Deadspin ranked articles
2) Meat that's been sitting in the can for three days
3) Garbage water
4)Week-old vegetables sitting at room temperature
5) Molded items
6) All other garbage

I hadn't been to Draai Laag since December. They completely rearranged things inside since then. They used to have the bar at the back wall with maybe 4 or 5 seats and just a few tables. Now, the bar is along the right wall and has significantly more seats. They have a lot more tables as well. The back wall where the bar used to be was nothing but stacks of boxes of bottles of beer.

It got really crowded while we were there. By the time we left, there was what wallflower referred to as a "sea of bros" in the open area next to the bar. Getting/paying the bill proved a challenge due to that.

However, it was nice to see that they've grown. They make some damn good beer, easily my favorite local brewery. And since they've started teaming up with local food carts and such, you have an option for food now.

Giant iggle in Robinson has the Flying Dog Dead Rise (Old Bay.)

They also have Chimay Red....on tap.

Franziskaner and Hopdevil for today's picnic.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the yuengling summer wheat

[Kraftster]

Found a 750ML of St. Bernardus Christmas in the basement. Merry Christmas in August.

Started the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp tonight:

New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus, WI | There and Back English-Style Bitter

It's an English-style bitter. No more, no less. If you like the style, this is one of the better one's I've had. If you don't like the style, then I suppose it's difficult to really appreciate this one.

[ffemtreed]

The one I'm actually most excited to try is the rye bock. Oskar Blues is one of my favorite breweries, and I love rye.

If you havn't tried it yet, you won't be disappointed. The Oskar Blues can was the best of the pack for me. Oskar blues is one of my favorite brewery's as well, and they didn't let me down!


Now I gotta go find me some Gubna and G'Knight!

[KennyTheKangaroo]

As far as I'm concerned, Killian's Red does not even exist.

And no, I will not be dissuaded by the purchase and consumption of a Killian's Red. - Pags

In honor of this statement, kenny the kangaroo searched for (and successfully located) a six pack of killians at giant iggle.

it was 6.99. it tastes like strohs.
