The good beer thread

[qclabrat]

I don't think I've started a off topic conversation since I joined over a year ago

So who drinks good beer here? Yes, there are good beers which goes for $1 a can like Founder's All Day IPA and even IMO Yuengling. But I'm talking about the craft variety which goes for $4 and up. Still cheaper than getting a usual pint at a bar and are absolutely delicious. I live in NJ and there's lots of great places here like Magnify, Carton and Kane to name a few but the really good stuff is over the river in Brooklyn and Queens (e.g., Other Half, LIC, Greenpoint, Finback). This past weekend, I made a trek up to Massachusetts to grab some cases and bottles at Treehouse and Trillium. Anyone here getting poor drinking the good stuff?

Honey likes Yuengling, he is not that fussy about beer.

I brew my own. I can't remember the last time I bought commercial beer.

My favourite is an all grain recipe for Granville Island Pale Ale out of Vancouver.

Went over to Massachusetts over the weekend for college visits. Stopped off at Trillium and Treehouse. Treehouse is very hard to get, the day I went it was only an hour
wait. It's not uncommon to wait 2-3 hrs. What crazy things adults do for beer nowadays. Those bottled stouts go for $100 on the open trade market.

We have a good deal of craft breweries in Texas and my favorites from the North Texas area include:

Revolver Brewing (Blood and Honey), Four Corners Brewing (Local Buzz & Heart of Texas), and Rahr and Sons Brewing (Texas Red)

I am a big fan of real ale also known as craft ale, i brew my own on occasions and buy it in, suppose british ale is different to us beer, our ale is often dark in colour and full bodied

we love St. Michaels, used to go every summer and religiously stopped off at the Crab Claw for lunch. We'll try to make a visit in the Fall during our college visits.

There some great beers in Utah, you just can't buy them in the store lol.

Hubby's favorite, Moose Drool (Big Sky Brewing Missoula, MT) Our trips out west and to Michigan are pretty much beer runs, since it's not available in TN. Oh yea, there's a couple steaks at the picnic too.
