Ive heard they are very good. If you look on beeradvocate.com they have all kinds of reviews, a forum and everything. I read something and dont take my word but Stone might be doin it for them? Im not really sure I'll look on BA for you.

BTW what SA are you enjoying?

And a review for the Chipotle Ale from BA

A - Hazed deep amber w/ a 3/4inch cap of beige w/ good clinging action from the lace.

S - Big bold, smokey pepper aroma w/ a nice malt smell. More peppery than smokey in the nose w/ mild woody essence of hops

M - A sweet taste usurped by bite of red pepper heat. Malty texture cushions the effect of biting into a chipotle, the finish is peppery(literally). Moderately full carbonation w/ a nice warming feeling as it slides down the throat with light smoothness. The mild hop bitterness and subtle sweetness really complements the zip of chile

T - The taste is like peppers with a smokey edge and smooth creamy, slight toasted malt flavor underneath the pepper heat. A nice mild hop taste is not distracting from the mild chipotle flavor of the ale and is used judiciously. The pepper's spiciness is not the the only thing you taste - you actually get the earthy vegetal notes of the pepper in the beer which is important. Each sip of this lets you get a taste of malt, pepper, smoke and the malt is there to catch it and protect from overly peppery beer land

D - A great beer but not one I would drink repeatedly. I would consider this good with corn soup or mac and cheese since I like Tabasco chipotle with pasta and cheese. A well brewed chile beer proving it can be made without dwarfing the taste of the beer and doesn't mask the ale's taste. I found this to nice when blended with the 10,000 brew at EBF and with Stone's Bitter Oatmeal chocolate stout

I've been enjoying Trappistes Rochefort #6. The best cigar beer I've had yet.

oh man yes, if you've never had a fat tire they are fantastic. toasty and malty but also smooth enough for mucho chugging.

now that it's warming up I will probably get a sixer of my favorite summer beer: Sunshine wheat

-from the same brewery that makes fat tire. I've had a lot of wheat beers and this one takes the cake. not as sour as European wheats and enough herbal citrus flavor that you don't even need to add a lemon wedge.

also great for chugging

They didn't have that one in stock, but I'll keep an eye out for it. It doesn't taste like Dogfish does it?

Had a craft brew overload with a 6-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedo and a bomber of Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti. This marks my first beer pong game with Imperial Stout

I wish I could still enjoy a beer, but I have become allergic to something in them.

I had a bottle of Russian Rivers Temptation last night:
http://russianriverbrewing.com/web/barrel.html
The cigar/sour beer pairing did not go as well as I hoped. I had a Upmann Corona and the cigar seemed to mask the subtleties of the beer. To me, sour beers like this have more in common with sparkling wine then other beers. Supposedly the Champagne/cigar pairing is a good one (have not tried it), so I thought this would work. Oh well.
All in all a great beer though. Very sour and refreshing, not high on the 'funk' level, pretty clean and fruity.

Don't ride that scooter of your's next time and you can have some

Just kidding, Tony is very responsible about his drinking and cycling. As a family man I applaud that. And seriously next time we get together and you're driving I'll bring some.
