I'm a hop head. I'm partial to ambers to be honest. They're so smooth, it's like caramel water.

It's not quite technically a berlinerweisse, but if you like it you'll like most of the other berlinerweisses. I felt bad, as I always confused their old ale with oarsman because I thought the pictures were similar, and so I had skipped out on Oarsman.I slipped one of these into a build-a-six of beers I've never had before at World Market today. I'm definitely gonna have to go back for more. If you like sour/tart beers or saisons, give it a try.

I did another brewery tour at Cigar City yesterday and I got so fucking drunk. I'm gonna go on a no beer rule for a while I think. It's like when you get sick after eating a certain food; you just don't want it anymore after.
At least it gives my stouts some time to age I guess.

Pretty sure I have already posted about Pliny the Elder, love that stuff. Had a couple of those as well as 2 of these Dogfish Head at the Raiders game with my cousin last Friday. Just between those 4 beers I was pretty well lit.
For being 9% the Dogfish Head was way smoother than I was expecting. Strongly suggest it for any of you IPA fans.

Funny thing about Dogfish is that the 120min doesn't even taste like an IPA. It's more of a barley wine. A lot of people say the 90min is the best of Dogfish.Pretty sure I have already posted about Pliny the Elder, love that stuff.

I tried Racer 5 last night and wasn't impressed. I think it's because I prefer juicy IPA's and that was just straight bitterness.
bah you're out of your friggin mind. Bring on the bitter!
A local liquor store usually has Racer #5 in twelve packs which is nice.

I don't keep a stock of beers. I just drink them. I do really love some Innis and Gunn though.
I've been drinking my homebrewed red IPA. It's not my finest work, but it's not bad either.

I would really like to do some homebrewing, but I want to do it right and not half ass it. I have very little free time right now, so it just isn't something I have looked into much. Hopefully things calm down for me early next year and I can start looking into it more.
stuck in Virgina for the next few weeks any weekend road trip able places near by that are must visit beer places?

If you're close enough to DC go to the Brickskeller... well it's not called the brickskeller anymore, I think it's called Bier Baron now or something. No idea how good that place is. Brickskeller was awesome though. They had over 1400 beers and they sent them up on a pulley system with those bank teller tubes from the basement.
