Let's talk good beer

Sounds like he's referring to the Fat Tire brew. It's pretty good, drank a ton of it in NC.

For anyone into Belgian styles this is a good one

Smooth and drinkable but it will sneak up on you pretty quick if you're not careful.
I have a bottle of this sitting on my wine rack. I've been holding it for a rainy day...and that day might be coming soon.

Ill take Dales P.A. over anything from Fat Tire all day long

I like the Delirium products, but they are too expensive. I saw a four-pack in the store the other day for $22. Granted, they're 20oz bottles, but still.

I'm loving the Starr Hill Northern Lights IPA. Delicious. It's brewed in VA, too. I like going local as much as possible these days.

I've tried a few of Starr Hill's brews, but I just can't get into them. I just feel like they're always missing something. With each one I've just been left unimpressed.

me too, never liked any of it. guy at work was talkin bout how much he like northern lights, but he smokes alot of bud and i think that is really why he likes it, the dank reference. Its not bad, not great...the not so pale ale is horrible

The best Starr Hill imo is TheGift. If you haven't checked it out, do so, it's pretty good.

Jomo's good too.

I got some good beer news this weekend. For several years, Mendocino brewing co. produced a seasonal IPA that they released each December in short supply. This year, I didn't see it, so I asked the beer guru at my favorite local store about it, and he told me that it was popular enough for Mendocino to make it available year 'round. The downside, though, is that they have made it part of their "Imperial" collection, which means they sell it in four packs, and their three Imperial brews are scarce (my favorite local store doesn't carry it). The only part of their Imperial collection that I've seen in the DC area is their Barleywine Ale, which, randomly, is the only one that my brothers in upstate NY have seen as well.

This weekend, I finally found it. For those in the DC area interested in it, I found it at the Whole Foods at 15th and P, which has a surprisingly good beer collection (at least compared to their Tenleytown store, which doesn't carry any Mendocinos). The four pack sells there for $10.99. It's worth grabbing if you happen to be there.
