I really like a beer from a small brewery in CO. The beer is called Fat Tire. I have not been able to find it in CA so I try to bring some back with me every time I go to CO.
They also have a great wheat beer called Sunshine Wheat, definetly worth a try. No need to go to CO to get Fat Tire, you can get Fat Tire at almost any liquor store in Orange county since December. They currently only distribute the bombers, 6 packs will be coming soon.

Fat Tire is also now available at Costco here in San Diego. It has become a staple at all of my poker games.
So I picked up a Fat Tire 22oz. Just had a few slices of pizza and the brew. It was pretty tasty. Id definitely pick up a 6/12 pack if they had them out here.
A coworker from Germany just visited and brought me 2 bottles of one of my favorite beers in the World - Andechs. Can't buy it here. Had one the other night and felt like I was back in Munich. Andechs is an old Monestary Southwest of Munich on a hill. Great place. Good food. The beer is better out of the tap but the bottles are still great even after being schlepped over on a plane in checked baggage.

Still have a bottle of a local German villiage brew that I 'schlepped' from one of my business trips to Germany. My biz counterpart took me to his village pub and they had wonderful beer and schnopps. It was in the hill country NE of Frankfurt.
Germans really, really know how to brew beer.

We brought some of this back from Hawaii, and I've been able to find it locally in Phoenix, since we drank everything we'd brought back to the mainland.
I've been lagging on updates of my barley and hop adventures- and this thread needed a kick in the butt. Without further ado.....
Stone Old Guardian (2006) This may be my favorite beer. Period. Double Bastard is right up there as well. Typical barley wine style ale kick, with enough flavor to kill a horse. I recommend getting multiplwe bottles to let it age. I had some 2004 last week and it was unreal.
Stone Imperial Russian Stout (2006) - not for the faint of heart, a typical heavy stout with coffee/chocolate tones and dark enough you can't see through it even when it's backlit. If you're a stout lover- don't miss this year's!
Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale - Not too bad for a pale ale. Not necessarily my #1 choice for a pale ale, but it's in the top 5 pale ales I've probably ever tasted. Good enough that I plan on trying Ballast Point's other brews.
Bear's Red Rocket Ale - this stuff was friggin' awesome! If you're an IPA lover, I would recommend this in a heart beat- lots and lots of flavor.
Boontsville Oatmeal Stout - Ummmm, I was under the assumption this was Boontville's best brew. Save the money and get two Stone Imperial Stouts, a Rogue Shakespeare Stoute, or and 8 Ball stout... all of which are better than this weak attempt. Seemed closer to a porter. Young's Oatmeal stout and some of the organic brews blow this oatmeal blend out of the water.
That's all for now, this next weekend our adventure through the land of barley and hops continues.
As a proud and accomplished beer drinker I'm embarrased that I haven't participated in this thread to date.
I have this habit of letting bottle caps accumulate in the drawer where I keep my church key. I tend to let the pile go for a couple of months before cleaning it out and starting over. I think the last time I cleaned it out was around Easter time.
Here's what I got:
Newcastle -- a bunch of these, I buy it by the case at Costco every now and then. A solid staple.
Deschutes Brewery -- Craft brewery in Bend, OR. They use a common cap on all of their varieties, so I'm not positive which one these are from. I'd guess the Mirror Pond Pale Ale, which is my favorite from them. They make a nice IPA as well.
Karl Strauss Endless Summer Light -- I tend to keep a few bottles of lighter, more mainstream beer on hand for my wife who doesn't like most of the stuff I do. This is the current varietal.
Sam Adams (the original Boston Lager) -- I think a friend brought these by during the NHL playoffs.
Sam Adams ("Brewmaster's Collection) -- From the Black Lager. Oh yeah.
Pacifico -- Another wifey selection. I'll drink 'em with Mexican food when the weather is warm.
Widmer Brewing -- Like Deschutes, this doesn't indicate which varietal, but I recall that my father in law brought down some Widmer hef with him from Oregon. These caps aren't quite as cool as the old Lucky Lager puzzle caps, but they are imprinted with quirky toasts such as: "To convenient memory" and "To skirt-lifting breezes."
Redhook IPA -- I don't remember these very well. I think guests consumed these.
Full Sail Pale Ale -- More Oregon micros. My FIL has really got me on the Oregon bandwagon.
Green Flash Brewery (San Diego) IPA -- Overly hopped, VERY strong taste and a pungent skunky aroma. A bit too much even for me.
Stone IPA -- much more subdued and palatable than Green Flash, but still bold. 6.9% ABV. Yep.
Alaskan Amber -- more playoff beer. Don't remember much about it other than it was good and served its purpose.
Bridgeport Brewing Co. -- Portland. Again. Another generic cap that doesn't indicate the exact
Slopppydog
IS COMING WITH ME.
