OT: What are you drinking this weekend- Beer

[Jack Brunk]

Just finishing up a Double Hercules IPA by Denver Brewing Company. Very hoppy and smooth even at 10.0%.

I don't think there's ever been a better time for beer drinkers! Every burg big enough to have there own fire dept. has there own micro brewery, and many of them are very good!

It's not that hard, and can be done almost anywhere, but I strongly suggest you wait until you can brew on a camp cooker in your own backyard. Splashing hot wort all over an apartment kitchen is no fun.

There is scarcely a week that goes by that I don't pine for fresh Front Range beer.

Drinking Mickey's in Boulder is like riding Shimano Acera in Vicenza, and the Peroni is like having Twinkies flown to Vienna, but, hey, you like what you like!

Just finished the Mother's day dinner out with my wife. I had Manny's Pale ale (a relatively new local brew). Awesome.

Stone Ruination IPA is hard to beat. Jeff N.

I have tasted the beer that they serve in heaven. It is "Hoptimum Imperial IPA" by Sierra Nevada. Whole-cone hops. Oh my! Unfortunately, it is 10.4% ABV, so I can't drink it all night like I would love to do.

What are you drinking and do you think about who make it?

I'm a big fan of the smaller local brewers and will regularly buy offering from Blue Moon and Sierra Nevada but still pick a 24 of Coors Light when I want to party .

Yer in Kadena...Sapporo, Keiren, good beers

I've become a big fan of Shiner Bock since moving to Tx.

I fixed a bike and received a 4pk of Lake Erie Monster as payment.

Four pages and no mention of PBR. You have no idea what you are missing.

I haven't been riding enough to be permitted to drink beer.
