Re: The Beer Thread
I drove inland from Pensacola Beach to find something other than BL Coors Light Ultra Corona and other swill - and found Dogfish Head. My first taste of their product is their Indian Brown Ale. Normally not a fan of hoppy beer, but me likey.

Re: The Beer Thread
I'm curious as to when the grocery and liquor stores in general will expand the beer selections for more craft beers. No offense wine-drinkers,but its seems we get rows upon rows of dusty wine bottles. maybe the answer lies in that dust, wine has a longer shelf life and makes your store look uppity. maybe its the distributers of beer still like to play games with the product availability-some genus is creating demand by limiting supply...
its just a $%#its a gol damn [expletive] travesty!

I'm sure shelf life has something to do with it. If you live in StL, Wholefoods really impresses me with their beer selection.Freed Roger wrote:I'm curious as to when the grocery and liquor stores in general will expand the beer selections for more craft beers.

Re: The Beer Thread
The extreme craft beer movement is something America should be proud of; it's the jazz of the beer world. We take something classic (luke, um...classical music) and jazz it up a notch (like...jazz music...I think I understand the etymology of those words in our current vernacular).

Re: The Beer Thread
Yes. A very tasty brew. Freed, it's a shame you cannot sample Two Bros. Northwind Imperial Stout or Three Floyd's Scottish Ale, or apparently any local craft brew in the FL panhandle. Considering I found a great brewpub in Hays City, KS, I am surprised Pensacola doesn't have something.Wekse5 wrote:i'd place that beer in my top 10 if you made me make a list right now...been drinking it quite often here lately.Freed Roger wrote:I drove inland from Pensacola Beach to find something other than BL Coors Light Ultra Corona and other swill - and found Dogfish Head.

Oh there is probably somewhere here that has a bunch of good beers, but not many that also serve chicken fingers.

Re: The Beer Thread
Freed, have you been to the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton? They have a pretty good selection.Freed Roger wrote:I'm curious as to when the grocery and liquor stores in general will expand the beer selections for more craft beers.
