American Craft Beer Week
« on: May 19, 2010, 10:53:53 am »
Apparently it\'s this week, so drink up! What are some of your local favorites?

- Captain Lawrence (Pleasantville, NY)
- Brooklyn (Love the classic lager)
- Six Point (Brooklyn, NY)
- Defiant (Rockland County, NY)
- Saranac (Best pale ale out there)
- Harpoon (IPA is my favorite)
- Long Trail (Try the Double Bag. It\'s ridiculous!)
- Fat Tire (When I can get it!)

God, I could go on and on!

Just tasted a delicious homebrewed hemp beer over the weekend. Made my eyes roll back in delight!

My retired Uncle who I hung out with two weekends ago has been taking a train around the country and stopping at all the micro breweries. Some great places and beers.

Unfortunately, years ago, I gave up beer for Miller Lite and love every moment of it. Sure, its water piss but its my water piss.

Steve might be able to shine a good light on beers to try.

For me its...
Budweiser
Long Trail Blackberry Wheat
...the rest

Lagunitas and Stone are pretty ser craft brews and for you porter fans, you should try the Black Boss.  its a polish porter at 9.3%abv for $1.59 a 16oz bottle.....

We do carry the Capt Lawrence Imperial IPA, do great with that....

and of course any of the Berkshire Brewing Co beers......

Just went through some Long Trail unfiltered IPA.
I tend to stick with ales. Hoppy, bitter & strong!!!!
note: Ales were invented for long shipping trips across the ocean.
The strong hops & alcohol made the beer hold up longer.
Learned that from the History channel show on brewing!

nobody asked what your least favorite beer was Flounder.......

Mountain Road carries Hazed and Infused, I would have given you a nice discount on a case if you weren\'t banned for life from the store....

cool that you do well with the captain lawrence, stevie! scott vacarro\'s my boy. we drink at the brewery just about every weekend.

i like the stone ipa very much.
hazed and infused, eh. not one of my favorites.

definitely want to try that black boss. never had it before. i used to be solely into the hops, but now i\'m getting into some of the meatier, maltier brews as well. gotta round out the palate.  

gotta say i also love the sam seasonals --- i mark my calendar by them! oktoberfest is prob my favorite. (love oktoberfests in general...)

celebrator is also a yummy double bock.

beers are amazing!

dog fish head and mario batali are opening a restaurant in manhattan this summer called eataly. apparently they brew beer right on the roof. i hope that i can make that trip when it opens

There\'s nothing like a Bitter Ale Buzz!!!
I believe God lives within the Greatest Of Ales!!!
The soul of beer is the hops, alcohol is the twin brother!!!
