Let's talk good beer

wild goose (fredrick) is pretty good too. is there a wild goose brew tour in fredrick?
Yes, yes there is. It's a great tour. Flying Dog bought Frederick Brewing Company a few years ago and moved their operations to Frederick, phasing out the Blue Ridge label to focus on Wild Goose and their brand Flying Dog. The tour is free, but in order to drink, you buy a $5 pint glass that they gladly refill as much as you want.

I sucked down a few of Wild Goose's Winter Ale this past season, and they are quite good. Both Wild Goose and Flying Dog make a pretty good IPA.

Magic hat is good stuff, they're not too far from my neck of the woods in VT.

I had my first Magic Hat this weekend actually. I was impressed. Good beer.

Magic Hat is really popular around UVA as is Star Hill which is brewed real close. They come in a close second to Natty....

Big leinenkugel fan. Just about any of their stuff is pretty damn good.

My girlfriend brought home a six pack of their "Berry Weiss" the other day. It was god awful. They fact that they even market it as "beer" is a joke. It was straight up Boone's Farm in a 12oz bottle.

never had that one! they do make seasonal beers that stretch the term "beer" but they usually taste pretty good.

I'm just not a fan of sweet flavored beer I guess.

I like Blue Moon (very similar to regular Leinenkugel), but I can only have one or two before it's sweetness overload.

Man I hate that summer is over, but the fall/winter brews kinda ease the pain a bit. I picked up some Dogfish Head Punkin Ale the other day and damn it's tasty. Can't wait for Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale and Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout. Also want to try DFH's Chicory Stout.

I guess this is more of a craft beer than a microbrew, but I really like almost every type of Leinenkugel I've had. I think their Red Lager is especially good for tailgating and it seems appropriate for Skins games.
