is this the beginning of the Beer Of The Week thing?

If you pick up some Pintail, let me know how it compares to the Fatties.
BTW - why are the Fatties undrinkable now?

[BeerMan]

apparently, they aged too much. as you've said before, it is better off the tap. or if bought in Colorado.

when I say undrinkable, it means that the beer is mostly flat. I was not at all impressed with the taste either. I have three bottles left.

I will gladly pay you for the beer, the shipping and a six pack for yourself. Hook a KJ up!

I'll see what I can do.

The nectar of the god's is also known by the name Kilkenny. Brewed in the town of Kilkenny Ireland.

Best beer there has ever been. Unfortunately, the only place you can get it is pretty much every where except North America. Unless that's changed since the last time I checked which has been some time. First time I had it was in a pub called Kitty O'Shea's in Darwin, Australia. I'm not much of a beer drinker, I usually stick to the harder side of the liqour house, but I would drink before ice water in Iraq. Wonderful taste and smooth. I highly recommend it, if you can ever get your hands on some.

Also had it in Thailand, but it was like 10 USD per pint. Much cheaper in Australia.

I've got my eyes on a Brother Davids Triple Belgian-Style from Anderson Valley Brewing Company. I had the Double last weekend. Very tasty and very strong. The Triple weighs in at 10%.

Of course I have. There isn't a beer made by Stone that I haven't tried. I like it too - I just wish they made it in a 6er.

I have one of those (empty) bottles sitting next to my computer. My wife got it for me last X-mas. I savored it and drank it over three days.

Perhaps we need an LGK beer club. Here's a link to a place that will ship Bridgeport and other Northwest beers, but they advise that it is best to order large quanities, 5-6 cases. I have a loading dock right around the corner from my office, but I don't know how the unversity would feel about a shipment of beer. But check this place out:

Another of the fine Bridgeport Ales which I brought home with every intention of sharing last year.

LOL.

As far as Budweiser goes, I could take it or leave it. It's an ok beer to throw in the mix every now and then but it's not what I normally drink. Too much of that stuff gives me nasty headaches the next day so if I'm drinking to drink a lot I go with Sam Adams or a Miller product. If I can only have 6 or so then i'll go import (New Castle, Heineken, San Miguel, San Miguel Dark).

There are much nasteir beers out there than Budweiser. BTW it's not an urban myth about the Czech origins.

If we do that I'll buy a case or two and give it a shot.

If I get two, you get one, and KJ gets one, then we have 4 total cases. I'm sure others would do it too.
