Such a tasty IPA, one of my favs, goes down too easy

Drinking a Lunch by Maine Beer Co. Its absolutely delicious. It was bottled 2 weeks ago so its as fresh as I could hope for.

Best micro brew I ever had was the RATTLESNAKE IPA at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Two problems, they don't sell six packs to go and you have to drive to Amarillo Texas to get it. Hopefully some day they will sell it in an internet store. The micro brew had only been open for a few months when I first stopped in around October 2011, when moving to Virginia from California.
I stopped in two more times on cross country trips just for the beer.

Trying these new IPAs now. Beers sure are a lot more tangy (hops) than they used to be.

Over the weekend, a buddy of mine brought a growler of Tiller Brown Ale from 16 Mile Brewery - Bold Session Ales, Georgetown, DE. A nice drinking brown ale, with coffee and chocolate notes.

Dazed and infused is really good. FirSt time in the microbrew thread so im not sure if anyone has paid respect to Sammie Smith Oatmeal Stout but it is my all time favorite.

It's beer week in my town, lots of beer dinners going on and tastings. Dogfish Head did a tap takeover last night at one place, had something like 25 taps going. Saturday is my favorite event, the beer summit. A 3 hour festival, 80 breweries, live music, $40 for all you can taste.

That's my go-to. I generally find if the scores are 95 or above, I end up loving the beer. That seems to be true whether I see the score first and then taste, or taste first and see the score later.

BA is awesome. Great beer resource. I usually salivate over what they post on Twitter.

I'm always proud of myself when I try a beer and love it, then look it up and see it's highly rated LOL. Or the other way around if I don't care for a certain beer. BA is usually pretty spot on with their reviews.
