[quote=RedskinMike;993776]Where is this comp? Do you have any information on it? I have a few beers I could enter if the deadline isnt up. On a side not I just picked up a bottle of Brooklyn Black Ops and one of Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout. Pretty excited about both of these.[/quote]

[quote=Mattyk;990054]Had another good IPA last night, Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye. The rye gives it a nice little kick. Another quality brew from SN.[/quote]

finally got the Ruthless Rye, very nice. The rye seem to give the beer more body. Its a nice change up.

People better not gripe when they raise the price or you simply see less of their product on the shelves.

yeah, its a give and take. Honestly, never seen them out anywhere. If so, I have no problem trying something new or going with another brand.

Stone Enjoy By 5/17/13 is phenomenal. I highly recommend it, unless you don't like hops or high ABV beers.

re: Let's talk microbrews good beer
 

ive been drinking the flying dog "raving bitch" alot the past year or so. It is something around 9.1% abv which is great bc i can drink a 6 pack and get fairly close to hammer time but the next morning the only evidence is 6 empty bottles. Its a hoppy IPA which is pretty much my go-to beer if im not drinking some cheap ass can beer.

i also tried a few beers from this nomadic brew crafter Stillwater at this new foody spot "fork and wrench" last week in baltimore. really good stuff. if you ever see him at a brew fest, Id give him a shot.

Anyone got to the Maryland Brew Fest this past weekend? I think it was this past weekend.

Picked up a 6er of [URL="http://schlafly.com/beers/styles/summer-lager/"]Schafly Summer Lager[/URL] last Friday. A huge step up from your normal run of the mill lagers.

Sipping on a Pumking. It seems they are released earlier every year.

Not a big fan of Fat Tire, but picked up a 6er of [url=http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=c110c131-1db6-4eac-bfc0-4182b7cd918a]New Belgium Rolle Bolle Ale[/url] over the weekend. A decent summer beer. Good floral notes. Went down easy.

This is pretty cool: [url=http://news.yahoo.com/iraq-vets-join-ranks-vas-124914150.html]Iraq vets join ranks of Va's rising craft beer biz[/url]

I'll definitely keep an eye out for it this fall.

I found my new pumpkin beer addiction for the fall:

It would be nice if they could wait until it's actually fall before releasing fall beers.

Reminds me of being a kid and you'd start to see back to school commercials in July.
