Let's talk beer

Thanks Matty,

Some other great beers Daseal are Stella and Becks. I love them both, really smooth and go down easy but don't compensate on taste. Becks is much crisper too IMO.

Victory and Dogfishhead are two brands that make me giggle like a school girl.

I have the wonderful pleasure of living 25 minutes away from the Victory Brewing Company. We went there last Saturday for dinner. Got a beer sampler of 5 different beers, then went to the gift shop and got a 32-ounce bottle-conditioned ale called "Saison". 7.5%, belgian style ale with a cascade hop. So it came out real smooth like a Belgian ale but with a hop like an American IPA (think Sierra Nevada, but much smoother).

It's the greatest beer company in all the land. Every beer is amazing. Their pilsner has won countless awards.

Picked up a few Winter 6ers over the weekend...

Sam Adams Winter Lager is still one of my faves.

Wild Goose (made here in Frederick) has their Snow Goose Winter Ale that is very hoppy. Has a nice bite to it.

Blue Moon's Full Moon Winter Ale is actually quite smooth like it's Blue Moon sibling. Went down very easy, but not as flavorful as Sam Adams or Wild Goose. Recommended for those who aren't quite ready to made the full leap into micros or seasonals.

I had a few Sam Adams Cream Stout this weekend and I've gotta say it's one of the better stouts out there.

SA Winter Lager is pretty good.

Went to Dogfish Head Brew Pub last summer and had a Dogfish Head Lawnmower Light and it was a really good light beer. Can't wait til summer time again.
