This is such a simple but delicious beer. Ommegang is just a great brewery and a cool place to see a show. We're hoping to catch Conor Oberst there this summer.

I've never seen that, but now that I've googled it, I'm intrigued.

I'm still searching for an american made smoke beer that's as good as Schrenkerla and isn't 7 bucks a bottle, this is only in the large bottles as far as I know, but I think I am going to try it. Smoked beer goes so well with smoked meat.

long story short..my friend has this arriving next week here and is giving me 6..I've only ever read about it and am pretty damn excited..anyone had it yet and does it live up to the hype?

It definitely does. With it being unfiltered and canned, I didn't think it would.

Also, Firestone Walker Stickee Monkey is out -- go grab some.

Cool. I had not idea it was also a venue. I need to add this to my places to visit list. I see Modest Mouse is playing there in a few days, that would be cool to see.

Reading more about it, damn, looks really cool. I'd love to go there in the fall.

Hook a brother up! I've got a bunch of good stuff for a trade.

Sierra Nevada is so good.

That is worth it's weight in gold. You can't even buy them by the case anymore. Traffic issues forced the town to stop allowing them to sell cases of them direct from the cannery. Which means more stock for local stores, but almost every store limits you to 2 four packs or something like that.

Sigh. I have nothing to offer. Enjoy.

I cant wait to try it..My friend/bartender has a cousin who works for a beer distributor down here and trades with guys on the east coast..anyway he's getting it all next week and will also be getting some kentucky breakfast stouts as well..I'm hoping to get one of them

My buddies who have had it say it lives up to the hype 100%. I was supposed to go to Vermont a couple of months ago and score some but we had to cancel. I'm hoping to head there this summer before kid #2 comes along. Enjoy.

This stuff is amazing. A coffee IPA. You're first hit with the hops, then a strong coffee flavor. Somehow it works.

Lunch is a fantastic IPA, one of the best in my opinion. I have one in my cooler right now.

skitch'll probably know this. When did Bell's start making Oberon? I thought that was a Harpoon brand.

EDIT: Maybe not. I can't google anything about Harpoon making it.
