What is your favorite beer? - Page 11 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Best marketing I've seen. I drink Rogue ales just for the pictures and stories on the bottles.

My son told me today about Lawson ale he discovered at the Brewfest in Burlington VT last weekend. Apparently it killed at the festival.
I will be searching it out.

You will have an extremely hard time finding this. Unless you live in VT and can go to one of the 5 places that sell their beer on tap or pick up a bottle at the one place that sells it, they don't distribute or sell at the brewery.

It's a shame because I'd die to try some of this.

Also one of my favorites. Also like the Hale's Nut Brown (and the Hale's Cream Ale).

My all-time favorite:

Don't drink as much of it since it's a bitch to find in Portland bars, and they only sell it by the keg.

Looking forward to trying a few of the beers ITT.

Had some Sapporo special reserve at lunch today. It was pretty good. It had a mildness to it that was quite unassuming but left a nice aftertaste.

Note that is just the reserve. Couldn't find a pic of the special reserve.

as a HU, ruination will do just that to your palate. Like, drink that if you only plan on drinking that or drink it last

Newcastle Summer Ale. I only had it one time, I think I ended up having three of them on a day I didn't even want to drink because they were so damn delicious. I can't find them anywhere in Vegas. It sucks.

I never kid about liquor sir. Never.

6 pack bottles was like 9 or 10 bucks iirc

** Just called the one by my house.. "we had it once a while back"

** Guy on LV Blvd was a dick.. same thing though.

** The lady at W. Lake Mead cleared it up.. "it goes very fast. very limited."

They got some new one called Werewolf she said :-o

What was the name of that pub that used to have like 500 beers? They had one in the Meadows Mall I think. I used to love that place.

around the tampa area, they have a place called world of beer, that has hundreds of beers to choose from. i think they are going to be expanding to other parts of the country soon too.

found a news article...

Maryland Pkwy. That's a cool spot indeed.

I always thought Gordon Biersch had some great tasting brews, but I just don't like the place very much.

stu+stu is the maing. Because of him I went after and got my dream of buying Newcastle Summer Ale, and Werewolf. And I've already had one of each today, and I'm going to have many many more before this night is through. Thanks Stu x 2.
