I'm going back right now. I'm walking this time, now that I know dogs are welcome. That way, I can have more than one beer.
I seriously had tears in my eyes eating there, I was that happy. A man's got to get in touch with his emotional, femenine side once in a while, doesn't he?

Got to try both the Russian River Pliny the Elder and the Alchemist Brewing Co.'s (VT) Heady Topper recently, head to head. Slight nod to the Heady Topper, but both are out of this world and blew away other IPAs I consider very good, like Southern Tier Unearthly and Stone Ruination.

Best beer ever is going to be the one I brew using these hops, just harvested yesterday from my garden...

Ha, Samuel Smiths. I dont mind their beer but friends of mine will walk out of pubs when they see its a SS establishment. good thing is that their draught beers are by far the cheapest in all of Londonshire. its funny to see it sold here on the west coast. east coast just wouldnt be as funny. or the middle.
add an old speckled hen to that mix or a black sheep ale

Really good Pilseners are hard to find, especially in North America. This one's a treasure

I was just bitching to Hamid the Friendly Christian Syrian Beer Pusher that
he had a paucity of any pilsners, let alone North American. I'm gonna put
the screws to him for some SOB.

It's odd, but living on the US West Coast one gets used to a huge selection of incredibly good ales, and a modest selection of lagers with a lot to be modest about. It's easy to conclude that lagers are just inherently inferior.
And then you taste the real thing, and... Well, I was going to say that a whole new world of beer opens up to you, but in fact what happens is that you embark on an endlessly frustrating search for it in your local stores, and finally go back to drinking IPAs and stouts. Or brewing it yourself. (Which, if anything, is easier on the brewing side than ales, but which then requires highly controlled refrigeration and a lot of time.)
But these guys in Oregon have done a pretty amazing job of nailing Czech Pilsener. And what's even better is that it's only 4.8% ABV, so you can have a second one.

She hates you and she hates her job. This beer’s as bitter as she is. But, she gets to go to Paris twice a month and you don't.

Shared a bottle of this with some friends last night:
In related news, Alan Sprints put a handful of the legendary Dave bottles up for auction (proceeds went to Guide Dogs for the Blind). A pair of the bottles fetched $4.5K.

Ask Wayno or Steve Grossman about this one...
I always thought of this sour cherry ale as something that might have been made at an eighteenth century English public house, something the landlord's daughter would have served to a weary traveler, not knowing that he was a highwayman just one step ahead of the law.
Or maybe she did know…
