Let's talk good beer

Yesh, this thread has died. I guess the IPA craze is over.

The guy secretly shipping Ru$$ian River Pl1ny bottles out of San Fran is at it again. Real good prices, $5 a bottle or so but shipping gets you.

PM me and Ill send you the info.

I think most people are just drinking local brands, I know I am. National brands I still hit up cigar city, Oskar blues.


Something i hate...because of distribution dispute, Virginia hasn’t gotten Bells brewery since February...hard living without 2 hearted ale

Dale's Pale Ale is good stuff. Sweet can too.

Just piggybacking off what Chico said about local stuff, seems to be so many damn good local breweries that keep popping up everywhere. It's such a great time to be beer fan. This is one of my go to spots (http://www.meanmaxbrew.com/tap-room.html), everything is just so fucking good.

I basically just drink local as well (RAR, Burley, Union, Monument etc) but getting Pl1ny is still a special occasion. With the dollar in my pocket going to my local brewers, I think it forced bigger companies to expand distribution (Surly is in MD now) or start producing more (Maine Lunch, Founders KBS). In Md I can buy a case of Lunch right this second vs 3 years ago it was on a 2 bottle limit. Bells Expedition Stout, I used to buy a case or so bc it would last maybe 2 months on the shelves and now it seems unlimited.

In Rehobeth, they had bottles of CBS and KBS just sitting on the shelves .. in September.

My one gripe - RAR make more of your damn stouts. I dont need tangerine Country Ride or Naticoke Nectar ... I need 10 layer and 1st meal.

I played hooky today and went mountain biking at patapsco valley state park. Stopped at ellicott mills brewery for lunch had their pumpkin ale and then a flight with their Oktoberfest, Dunkel, pale ale and IPA. Definitely worth a trip

Carpe diem my friend! Squeeze life every chance you get, its later than you think. I think I had the sun on my face for a total of 1 minute today as I crossed the street before being re-engulfed by the shadows of tall office buildings. I lived a little bit just dreaming of riding a bike through a trail, feeling the slightly crisp fall air hitting my face, then finishing with a flight. Well done.

I need to check our Black Flag, Hysteria and Ellicott Mills.

Olde Mother had a really nice BA sour that I had a few weeks ago. Outstanding, expensive at like $16 plus for bottle but worth it.

The beer I liked the best in my travels was Rattlesnake IPA at the Big Texan Brewery which is part of the Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo, Texas. I stopped in there 3 times when making multiple trips across the USA when moving from Cali to Virginia 8 years ago. Looks like their brewery just opened when I first stopped in. Unfortunately they weren't canning or bottling it so no take outs.

Tried a sixer of Wyndridge Honey IPA (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/37622/372307/)over the weekend, damn tasty and super smooth for 7%

Did you get it local or where you away for the weekend?
