Thanks a bunch, I had no clue that they had an event like that. They are doing the same thing this year at the end of July and I am in for sure!

so it’s a hoppy amber? I love ambers, but not when they’re too hoppy. I might pick some of this up to try but I doubt I’ll like it.

I like the arrogant bastard ale as well. If you like that you should also try Dead Guy Ale. it is made by Rogue. I had my favorite beer of all time a couple months ago, but I think it is seasonal because I can’t find it anymore. It is called Nugget Nectar, I believe Troegs makes it. Its 12% and delicious.

Has anyone check out the Brew Masters show? Its basically a documentary of the Dogfish Head owner. I saw the first episode and it was pretty cool, but I missed the second episode.

It is indeed excellent, and seasonal. Call Tom at Consumers on Transit for info on the next release.

Picked up a 6 pack of this the other night, a very good oatmeal stout, 100% organic and smooth. Nice finish as well.

Anyone interested in starting a beer review site? Like serious reviews, not just “This beer is fucking awesome” but like actual intelligent reviews?
