i'm building up a small army of bottles right now...I only have 8..when I'm better stocked I'll come calling

Don't sit on those for too long -- they need to be consumed within 2 months of brewing for optimal awesomeness.

mine have a shelf life of about 5 days max

What would you rank your all-time No. 1 beer (IPA, IIPA, pilsner, lager, stout, you name it)?

pliny at the top because its not readily available and I dont have a chance to get bored with it...Green Flash Ipa is a close 2nd place and is in my fridge at all times..the 2 others that take up space in the fridge are ranger and victory pils for a lighter beer...you?

If you're close (or if you want to make the drive (or flight on your private jet)), Pliny the Younger is being tapped at the Russian River brew pub this week. I would die for a pint of that.

ya know, I've had a few pints of the younger and find imo that elder if far better..people line up outside before this thing is tapped though..its quite a spectacle...

Having only had the Elder, that make me feel a little better. Living in Chicago, though, I don't have much to complain about in terms of access to beer.

Currently drinking an Alaskan IPA.

Also picked up a six pack of Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye.

I'm drinking some Ruthless Rye this very second. What a coincidence.

I wanted to like Ruthless Rye a lot more than I actually did. It was okay, I guess.

Hmm. I'm moving on to Lagunitas IPA. Want to join me?

This is what Skitch told me about it as well.

I thought that Self was Ruddo for some weird reason. In any case, want to join me (either of you?)

I'm cracking one open now, friend.

ruthless is take it or leave it for me as well...about to open one of these fantastic beers soon..

That is really not a great beer. I dislike it infact. It is very malty, I don't think it tastes like an IPA at all.

Alesmith is an awesome brewery. Their beers always have the best color, especially their ESB which is outstanding.

I felt the same way. I did not think it was bad, but i like their torpedo more. It was just good

Has anyone tried Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot Barleywine?

Yeah, it is one of the best ones out there. That and Troegs Flying Mouflan are my favorites.

I think Ruthless Rye was better last year. I got some this year and its ok but I thought I remembered it being better.

I'm excited that Monday Night Brewery in North Atlanta is opening now. They've been making beer for a long time as Monday Night, but now they have a place to call home.

Enjoying one of these right now, damn tasty.

just back from the pub where they just tapped a keg of Russian River Blind Pig IPA....I had 3 pints...
