I’ll have to check to see if it’s on again this year…but Brewery Ommegang hosted a “Belgium Comes to Cooperstown” event last June that a few friends and I went to. 50 breweries showed up with ~200 beers to sample…needless to say we had a good time:) Three Philosophers were being handed out like water…which we treated like sluts by discarding them the second a better beer was presented to us…good times! Camped out overnight right there, bonfire, music, great food…so much fun.

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!

Edit: Shit…it’s sold out already

What kind of beer is that arrogant bastard? Is it a brown ale?

@boardjnky4

Yes, Dark brown, very bitter and as Drew describes it very “hoppy”

[boardjnky4]

hmmm, I’d like to try one. I like brown ales, but am not a huge fan of super hoppy beers.

[cougarspeed]

Super bitter. Delicious.

[Motocrossx23]

[boardjnky4]

@cougarspeed

Super bitter. Delicious.

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.

Wegmans in WS. I pretty much use them and Consumers for 99% of my beer needs…(I’m not including local bars that house the good stuff). You’re very right that Norht American Belgian styled beers are a solid choice, but for me nothing beats the Trappists.

Speaking of beer…last night I managed to enjoy the following pints at Fat Bob’s, and not get drunk:

Green Flash Imperial IPA
Dogfish 60
Arrogant Bastard
Dogfish 90
Dogfish 60 (again…)

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?
