Got a chance to speak with one of the distributors. According to him all of the new markets will be open to the limited editions such as KBS as well.

Lagunitas

I'm sure it's in this thread (multiple times) but I finally got a hold of a six pack up in Chicago at Trader Joes --- ROCKIN!!!

mmblz · 08-17-2012, 05:50 PM

Lagunitas what?
Favorites I've had so far are Hop Stoopid, Maximus and Lucky 13...

Opened up a bottle of Brux tonight. Really good. Have to admit I was scared to try it - first wild I've had. Seems really similar to Saison Dupont though. I would have to try them side by side but I'm not sure I would continue to pay 60% more than Dupont...

Is the Sam Adams Oktoberfest any good this year? It was horrible in 2010 and barely passable last year.

newcigarz · 08-18-2012, 04:50 PM

Widmer Raspberry Imperial Stout

Stone Smoked Porter w/ Chipotle Peppers

hammondc · 08-18-2012, 05:26 PM

Hmmm...the Stone looks good. I just started stocking up on stouts/porters. Should be cool enough by Christmas to drink them around here.

Depends on what you like.. I have enjoyed them every year, although, you are correct, 2010 was not that great. I didn't mind 2011, and 2012 is pretty darn good, IMHO.

It was very good, just a hint of the peppers and nice smokiness.

I may pickup a 6er. In general, I think it is a very bad example of the Oktoberfest style (not as bad as Harpoon, though), but is usually decent in its own right.

newcigarz · 08-18-2012, 06:16 PM

This was the other version.

Smoked Porter w/ Vanilla Bean

mmblz · 08-20-2012, 11:31 AM

Founders Frangelic Mountain Brown. Good, but I kept think "Starbucks Frappucino"
Oakshire Brewing Perfect Storm
Great Divide 18th Anniversary Wood Aged

cobra03 · 08-21-2012, 12:37 AM

A couple of pints of Green Flash West Coast IPA at the local pub. Love this stuff.

Those are the same two Hillfarmstead growlers from two weeks ago, don't be fooled, we just refill them and bring them back

A lot of really solid beers there, not the least of which was Persica, really great beer.
