Re: Ymm, Beer!

Alesmith Wee Heavy..I love Alesmith brews though they have very limited distribution around here. A bunch will find their way on the shelves and then nothing for 6 months-year. My favorite is the Wee Heavy (also my favorite scotch ale). I managed to find one of these for the first time in about 2 ye...

Re: Ymm, Beer!

Still celebrating :D : Devil Dancer-Founders Brewing Saw this for the 1st time a couple weeks ago and remember bluebeer (or was it rmd?) mentioning it at some point but never was able to find it until now. This is described as a triple IPA or IIIPA, I guess. Lots of piney/herbal hops with a bit of ...

Re: Ymm, Beer!

Troegs Flying Mouflan--Barleywine. Pours a fairly deep coppery red. I tried this beer a few years back and wasn't overly impressed. I'm generally more of sweeter English style barleywines and this one was hoppy hot like fresh Bigfoot. Much different experience with this yesterday. Lots of sweet cara...

I got a nice phone call this morning from my favorite beer shopper, who was calling to report some nice tasty sounding finds at a great price. DD will be able to taste before I will since I've got to wait until we meet again, but I'm looking forward to early reviews. From what I recall there are tw...
