[QUOTE=over the mountain;1078400]Just snagged the last one at the loading dock. Quite pumped.[/QUOTE]


You lucky bastard. Still haven't found one. Luckily I made due at Costco with a 4-way IPA 24 case. Which was a hop-fest and right up my alley. It had Torpedo, Nooner, Snow Wit, and Blindfold. The Blindfold blew me away and was my favorite of the pack. When poured in a glass it is dark as night, with a really nice head. Yet when you drink it is has a light body, really hoppy, with a coffee finish. If you aren't into dark beers, you should try this one, it may open you up to a different style. Shame it's a one time brew, I'm on the hunt for some more!

It's a damn good beer. I've got one more in the fridge. Tried to find some more tonight, no dice. I ended up with Double Wide IPA from Boulevard Brewing Co. Really good find. Strong at 8.5%, but unnoticeable. Dark, hoppy and heady, it was a great beer. Along the same lines as the Blindfold.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

blindfold and double wide sound really good. there is a bar in baltimore i like that is a converted double wide trailer.

the beer camp is cool. my fav so far is (surprisingly) a tropical malbock and a pale ale from cigar city brewing. the russian river contribution was a belgian style blonde which is by far my least fav type of beer and i didnt personally enjoy the russian river version. got about 8 more types to go. def adds some fun to drinking beer.

beer camp is pretty cool - apparently they are brewed by sierra nevada but in conjunction with the various brewers in two places - chico, CA and in NC. that is how they are able to get limited distribution beers like russian river to be distributed to all 50 states. all the labels are specially made beer camp labels.

Finally had [URL="http://www.firestonebeer.com/beers/products/union-jack"]Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA[/URL]. Very good. Enjoying one as we speak. Also has a [URL="http://www.stonebrewing.com/ipa/"]Stone IPA[/URL] and a [URL="http://www.unioncraftbrewing.com/project/anthem/"]Anthem Golden Ale by Union Craft Brewing[/URL], which was better poured in a glass than out of the can.

I picked up a 12 pack of the 4-way IPA. Really impressed with the Blindfold and the Nooner too. Kinda meh on the Snow Wit, I'm just not big of Belgian styles in general. The Torpedo is always a solid pick.

Seems like every brewer has a variety pack now. Makes for some tough choices at the beer store lol.

Re: Let's talk good beer
 

A quality beer that is delicious to say the least. Also a local brewery that's growing fast.

Always thought Pete Wicked was kinda nasty. Back then I was drinking more Dominion and Foggy Bottom around the DC area.
