I've been traveling a lot for business recently (in Chi-town right now) and what I've discovered is the Best.Beer.Ever. is the first beer I have after dealing with all the bullsh1t I have to deal with everyday on the road. I'm managing some engineers from a 3rd party right now, and they all suck. I'm fixing the problems their company committed to fixing and they just can't do it.

Supply chain pays for their incompetence, but gets my skill set. It's like paying for the meal, twice.

T-55 minutes and counting only because these losers will pack up and call it a day @ 5:00 pm CDT.

i like the lagunitas love, chaz

for another petaluma brewery - see if you can get a pour of HenHouse Fresh Pot - it's a coffee infused saison. 7% and yummy.

The Fall is beautiful cragging time out in Tieton Canyon west of Yakima (columnar basalt). The leaves are turning colors and the rattle snakes are slow. I haven't been out there for a couple years, but if there are still climbs easy enough for me, I will go. This is a tangential way of introducing an awesome cider that I tried tonight from Tieton Cider Works. I know this barely belongs on this thread, but it was really good, and gasp, it was their Cherry Cider. I had it on tap at Asgard Tavern (Odin Brewing, base of Stone Way Seattle). I might still defer to Canadian Okanogan extra dry Pear Cider, but this was: very dry, a little acidic and so flavorful.

Marketing aside, it's true.

I just harvested my little hop plantation today, and "dank" doesn't begin to describe it.

Dave, the hops kicked ass this year. After we harvested, my hand were sticky and dank and I took a nap afterwards. Dank.

Home brew from wild dead head's family's private stash in Putney Vermont Her name was Katy Mc some thing I think McBride ? and her Dad was proud of that brew but that his girl brought me home was some thing he did not get used to!

I guarantee that the best beer ever will be the beer you make.
Give it a shot, homebrewing is cheap, easy, and produces FANTASTIC beer.

When you think of places where the best beers are brewed, Post Falls, Idaho probably isn't high on your list. Or even on your list. Be honest: Have you even heard of Post Falls, ID?

Sounds like someone gave a name to the intersection of two country roads where there are two houses and the only gas station within a hundred miles.

I'd never heard of it, and didn't know that the beer I'm enjoying tonight was brewed there until I read the fine print on the label. I bought it on spec because I like strong Belgian ales, and like to try new beers. To be honest, I bought it mostly because it had a cool label, but wow...

So I'm going to score a couple more bottles to share with Grossman next weekend (if he'll only just answer my bloody email), and also offer a sip to Wayno, although his tastes generally run elsewhere. And I just might try one of the other eight or ten Belgian-style ales Selkirk Abbey brews.

Living in the PNW, I have a new favorite beer about every two weeks. Right now it's the Breakside brewery IPA, GABF gold-medal winner. Also the Deshutes seasonal "Chasing Freshies" is a hop lovers dream with a dangerous ABV!

Same over here,This one may have been made for me,Love Centennial hops.

Like a hoppy ESB.

Beer geek speak:I really like pale ales,IPA is sometimes way over the top,Esb 's on the other hand are somewhere between the Ipa's and pales,a truly great style, not always around much.

Inquiries upstream here for Maudite ale in the Bay Area. Not wholesale though, ChrisMac. Good source for other obscure beverages, especially wine.

They have singles @ 750ml for $9.99

After doing a bit of Christmas beer shopping I mentioned to Steve Grossman that I'd picked up a bottle that I really wanted to share with him. He said he'd be right over, and that he had a bottle he really wanted to share with me.

Turned out we'd both bought the same thing, thinking the other would like it. And we were both right!

Magic.
