Let's talk good beer

If I had to pick one beer to have for the rest of my life, SN Pale just might be my pick.

I did one of those make your own sixer deals at the grocery store the other day, all SN brews. Pale, Torpedo, and Ruthless Rye.Yeah, Harris Teeter is where I've been getting the "make your own six pack" to try microbrews in my area.

Maybe it was a California phenomenon but quite lot of beverage items there would disappear from the shelves after many years or just be a flash in the pan and vanish. Then through this thing called the internet you find out some brand that you thought died 30 years ago is selling like crazy up in Washington State.
So I thought it was very likely SN pale ale may have just come to the region where the poster lived. There are lots of products that have been around for ever that are marketed only in a small region.

SN Pale is pretty common all over. Even my corner gas station has it.

I used to love SN - especially the pale ale. I remember hearing they sold out to one of the major breweries several years back? Not sure if this is true or if that means it isnt an official microbrew anymore but for some reason I stopped drinking it at that point.

SN is by far and away my favorite brewery, I always have something from them in my fridge. I just had a four pack of Bigfoot Ale Barley Wine recently, I'd never seen it before. For a barley wine style w a 9.6 alc % it was damn smooth. If you happen to spot it I would highly recommend picking some up if you like SN.

Good stuff, goes down a little too easy

This is just making it down to our favorite watering hole here and man, it is amazing. Only the pils and lager right now, but both are ultra complex considering the styles. The lager is one of the best I've had in a while (Helles I believe?).

Had Stone Go to ipa last night and I must say it was absolutely wonderful. Great session IPA at 4.2 %.

As much as the Philly area sucks (Eagles fans etc.) it is a great area for craft beer. If you like Sly Fox, do yourself a favor and try anything by Victory Brewing or Troegs.

I'm throwing these down right now. Beats SN Pale in hop flavor, smooth finish, and best of all alcohol content!
