Red Mosquito

Horrible name and logo though.

Bad design and I don't like the word "pungent." It has a negative connotation. "Hoppy" is a great smell/taste.

But most of the Midwesterners on the board have a history of slobbering on anything Bell's or Founders.

I'm just team Bell's. Ride or die.

Don't blame everyone else for my failings, bub.

Also, I'm pretty on Founders. I do however really like that Azacca IPA. I had that for the first time the weekend before last and was pretty surprised. I also am in love with their porter.

None of it is as good as anything I've had from Bell's though.

I'm not blaming you, most Midwesterners feel a need to prove their upbringing (and everything they like) is awesome.

Porter

Ugh. SN clearly makes stuff that's better than All Day and Centennial and it's generally cheaper.

Also, Breakfast Stout is NOT a "year round" in many/most parts of the country.

Weird. I'm not sure that I share that experience.

I didn't even have Bell's until I moved to New York. My love of that company and its product has fuck all to do with it being a Midwestern company.

SN? Is that Sierra Nevada? I love their stuff, too. I would personally agree that most of the Sierra Nevada IPAs I've had are better than the All Day and the Centennial. But not by a wide enough margin to make a fuss out of. For my money, I do think the All Day is a tad overrated and I'm a bit tired of seeing it on every menu in Brooklyn. But it's a good beer.

I'm just glad I live in a place that gets Modern Times, Pizza Port and Bear Republic distribution.

The question was founders or bells, not SN. Beyond that, breakfast stout is available year round. I didn’t mean to imply those were my favorite beers, they aren’t. They’re just my favorites from Founders, which I prefer to Bells, with the exception of Two Hearted.

Breakfast Stout is absolutely NOT available year-round in the West.

Dipshit.

I think we should stop calling each other names and just take a second to reflect on the goodness of the Founders Porter.
