Tried Tweasondale this week end.

I still dislike beer.

Do you like cider? I find most American versions way too sweet but my friend who can't consume gluten is happy to have them around. Tweason's pretty bad but I can't really think of too many good gluten-free beers unfortunately.


I will try cider eventually.

I just never developed a taste for beer before the gluten free issues. I was hoping to maybe like one finally.

Crystal Hero is amazing. My favorite they have done so far of this single hop IPA thing they are doing. Its a very crisp and clean hop and never really showcased in beers because everyone wants citrus hops.


Got two Crystal Hero and a Stone RuinTen. They will be consumed some time over the next couple weeks. Currently have WAY too much beer.

Just picked up 2 12oz Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA. They are hard to find, and most places will only sell you one.

I'm not a fan of Devil Dancer at all. Lots of people complain about the Summit hops giving it an onion taste, but aside from that it never comes together in a satisfying manner for me. Harvest is the only Founders IPA I really love.

I hear what you are saying. It's like they crammed ten pounds in a five bag, and it doesn't quite mesh. They had it at one of my usual stops, so I grabbed two. I certainly won't be driving all over the place, like I would for a KBS.

I was in upper michigan last week and got my hands on Short's Huma Lupa Licious and wow, that was the first hop monster I had in a while. Very solid IPA that registers at 125 IBUs (allegedly) but it was a solid beer. I've never seen Short's down here before so was very happy with it.

I'm a huge fan of Southern Tier, especially their imperials, but that one is a bit sweet for me.

I'm looking forward to popping this tomorrow or Friday. Haven't had it yet.

It was their 10th anniversary brew last year that was so popular that they decided to release it every year now.

Nice choices, except for 2/3 of them. My mini-fridge is (finally) emptied out. Need to restock. P

Lagunitas Little Sumpin Ale - Been a while since I actually savored a beer like this.

Too many funky sour beers out there nowadays. I don't get it.

I've got a DFH 120 that's been aging and a Devil Dancer that I bought last weekend. Probably will have the DFH tonight with some lighter beer like Gumballhead and Alpha King. Golfing Friday, so I'll have to sneak in some beers, that way I'm not stuck drinking Bud Light and the like.

I hope so. I want to pick up a few more if I enjoy it but 2 of the places that I usually get it were sold out already. The Binny's that I got this one had quite a few but that was last weekend. I probably should have grabbed 2 but I'm kind of loaded up on beers in my fridge to try this weekend.

I've got a Something Hoppy This Way Comes from Pipeworks and a Brash Item Nine wheat beer that I tried at a tasting last weekend that I thought was very good. It was basically a wheat IPA at 9% ABV.

Get a six pack of Two Brothers Sidekick, and sneak those in.

Sounds awesome. Supposed to meet someone for Beer Advocate this Saturday for a beer trade. He's coming from Massachusetts with some Ghandi-Bot.

I'll be at a wedding/reception at the Two Brothers Roundhouse at the end of July.

Steak and all you can drink Two Brothers beer, they will be dragging me out of that place.

Sneak some beer out of there, and you have yourself a deal.
