The Blue Board

Not sure since I have never done it. I has heard guys talk about to though.

I'll talk beer with you Aussie. Whats your style?

DDRinking stone IPA and barleywibe ans weeD

To each his own I guess but I can not drink any american style lagers like that. Like you said it tastes like water. Bad water at that.

Is barleywine and ipss the greatest beers?

How hammered are you? I love barleywine. Not sure what the other one stands for.

I have no problem being defined as a beer snob. I have friends who will call me just to ask my input on a beer they want to try. But since I'm still in school, I dont have that much of an issue drinking American Lagers. I do have a limit when it comes to Keystone, Milwaukees Best and Busch

My stomach is turning just thinking about that crap

Haha. Reminds me of something out of a cartoon

Great taste in beer. I drank about every beer you posted about just last night.

Had the chance to travel most of the country and always try the local brews. Coolest brewery Ive been to is Stone, place is amazing, think beer is way over-rated though. Its very good dont get me wrong, but nit elite.

Best overall beers Founders in Grand Rapids, everything they make is good and Dogfish head.

As far as individual beers, I am a big fan of bourbon barrel aged high gravity ales. New Hollands Dragons Milk, Founders Sloppy Bastard, and Kentucky Brewing Co.'s Bourbon Barrel Ale, but all time favorite and only had it once and cant find it

New Holland Ocho Mole . Its a high gravity ale brewed with chocolate and chipolte peppers. Fantastic

Totally agree.

living in Alabama the beer selection has been very limited until recently when the free the hops movement finally got the archaic alcohol limits loosened up. Those limits kept many brewers products out of Alabama. I think the limit was 5% or something ridiculous. In fact a couple of years after college I had essentially stopped drinking alcohol all together except for the occasional glass of wine at dinner or bourbon on special occasions. I had completely stopped drinking beer. There was nothing redeeming about any of the beers I was familiar with so they weren't worth drinking. I really wasn't into getting smashed any more so what was the point?

Over the next few years I occasionally tried a few beers that were not american lagers (piss). The ones that stood out were a Mackeson XXX, Fuller's London Porter, and Bodington's. It opened up my eyes a bit but I still rarely drank. By rare I mean 1-2 drinks every 6 months, seriously.

What changed it for me was my neighbor. He introduced me to truly premium beer. He was getting a lot of stuff from out of state, Belgians, IPAs, stouts, porters etc that I had never seen or heard of. Well as you can imagine my palate was very interested and I began to learn about on my own. Good beer is a great thing and I often thank him for introducing me to it.
