Any of those five please, you can only vote one, just choose one at random. They are selecting the top five and those are my (and I guess Tony's too) top five. Thanks all! :banger

Three out of five ain't bad :noon

Hungarian Oak Peach IPA....................:rolleyes:It's not that different (ESPECIALLY in a peach IPA) from American/French/etc oak which they've released on several occasions.

Smokabaga............yay! More chipotle beer :gary:pu

I really wanted the vanilla though! :dr

They're only going to released on draft at Hunahpu (for now anyway), wish they would make some of these into production batches, we'll see.

To be fair it says "smoked chili peppers" so that might not be chipotles, but every smoked chili beer I've had used chipotles, and none were better than drinkable (and most weren't even that good).

But hey, someone must like them, and different strokes for different folks...makes the world go 'round'. :tu

Has anyone tried the new Bud Light Platinum? While I try to stay away from light beers and stick with craft brews, its so convenient to drink a light American beer every now and then.

I just tried the Platinums last night. I must say, at 6% alcohol, they are pretty good and well worth the price!

I wouldn't drink an Anheuser Busch product on a bet, but hey, that's me. ;)

I have heard it's just the same old American light lager garbage. But like they say, taste is subjective. If I want a light brew, I go for a Pils, Hefe, or Saison. They're not really calorie savers, but light body and crisp. Calorie saver for me is a Sam Adams Light.

I thought A/B was just doing a few of their mass produced beers like 312, which I do not drink. Am I mistaken?

I really don't know if they are brewing any of Goose Islands beers.. But AB did buy majority ownership, which makes GI a subsidiary to AB. Technically GI is now apart of AB's product portfolio. However, I would not buy any beers brewed directly by the parent company, AB:D

I hope bear republic is the next western beer that makes it to VT.

Couple homebrews tonight. Centennial IPA and a barleywine. Barleywine's got 8 months on it, keeps getting better.

If you're in Cali I would suggest finding other beers than New Belgium! Here's some ideas of breweries to look for: Russian River, Ale Smith, Ballast Point, Green Flash, Alpine, Lost Abbey, Sierra Nevada. There's tons more great Cali locals.. Cali is a hop heads dream state.

Shared the 2008 Stone 12th Anny with a buddy a couple weeks ago. Still holding up well, but drink them soon as I see this beer falling off soon.
