That's interesting to hear. Founders is so popular out here, when they were at Capone's during Philly Beer Week, there was a line at the door at 10:30 A.M. when they didn't open for another hour. 30 seconds after they DID open, the bar was packed, all the tables were seated, and it was...

Any thoughts? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Excellent. Truly. I'd had Sculpin already, and was going to be taking home a growler...so I decided to try some new stuff. The Apex caught me off guard. Perfectly hopped, and ridiculously smooth. Could have drank it all day. Highly recommend it.

Yesterday was an exceptional day. I went to Capone's yesterday and enjoyed servings of Port Brewing's Mongo IPA, Bear Republic's Apex IPA, and Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA. I was even able to get a growler filled with Sculpin to bring home. A beautiful thing for certain. I can't however...

Guy, do brew your own clone or the kit from B3? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm one of the brewers at Russian River. I brew Pliny and most of the other RR beers at the pub and also at the production brewery. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Whoa. We have a Russian River brewer in the house? Fabulous. That's...

As far as buyouts, I tend to wait and see what happens to the beer. Leine's quality I felt was hurt by the purchase. They weren't the best beer before the purchase (tended to be thin like Shiner) but in the '80s they were better than anything Bud/Miller/Coors was putting out and they had...

DfD: That Yeti looks incredible. I JUST filled a growler full of their 17th Anniversary Wood-Aged Double IPA at Whole Foods yesterday. Incredible stuff.

As both of you live in Michigan, I urge you to familiarize yourself with both Founders, located in Grand Rapids...and Bell's, located in Kalamazoo. Easily two of the top microbreweries east of the Mississippi...and likely all of the country. Ryan seems to know of Bell's already. The Oberon...

JSMcdowell: Man...I just don't know if I can get behind cans. I don't care for the metallic taste they sometimes impart. My beer doesn't last long enough for the light of day to impact it's taste anyway. LOL The stuff that I cellar, that needs to be devoid of light, is squirreled away in the...

Now that's MY kinda lunch. You guys are indeed in craft brew heaven out there. The west coast is LOADED.

LOL Yeah. Imagine something the shape of a giant bullet/bomb checking through security. Best to just ship it to me. I'll take good care of it. :-p

Man. Not bad. We're stuck with this. Only 30 taps to your 25, and 500 bottles to your 185. LOL Looks like we both have a nice spot.

For those who don't know...Philly Beer Week, is ridiculous. It is the epicenter of beer nirvana for 9 days. Even if you can't make it up here for an entire week, you have to get up here for a few days. I would LOVE to have a pile of people from this site here for a week of beer and BBQ. Now...

Another handful of my favorites. The Firestone Walker Parabola on the left is out of this world. It's a Russian Imperial Stout (13% ABV). I'm cellaring that one for the foreseeable future. The FW Double Jack is one of my favorite IPA's ever. I drank copious amounts of this during Philly Beer...

That right there...is purdy. I'm supermegahyperjealous. LOL Sierra Nevada makes some top notch stuff.

I agree, if it's a headache I more than understand. Perhaps just let this thread fly? I just forever seem to be pairing beer with grilling and the food that goes along with it...and would love a place to discuss it. I truly enjoy my beer as much as the food, and that's saying something...

To me, grilling and partaking in a fine beer, go hand in hand. Whether it's a refreshing fruit infused IPA on a hot summer day, a pumpkin inspired beer during the fall months, or a beautiful stout or porter during the winter months...there's always a beer that takes an afternoon on the grill to...

Hey man - I hear you. Don't get me wrong, I can get busy on a stove-top all day long. Like I said, I was raised by a pack of women so I can saute and bake and all that stuff too. I used to bake cakes and pies and cookies with my mom all the time. But I had to wait until I was in my 30s to...

Hey now...don't discount the ability to use the indoor gear too. Granted, I like the live fire as much as anyone on this site, and choose to use it 10/10 when weather permits. That being said, I made myself get good at using the range, oven, broiler, etc. so that I could still get a top notch...

The pace of life is what you make it. People just don't seem to know how to slow down anymore. I do NOT understand the rush behind everything. It's maddening. Relax. Take a deep breath. Enjoy things. Appreciate things. Chew your food instead of inhaling it. Eat at a table and not in a...
