Hopefully the Vegas Beer 16 had a better field.
Great Final Four. I'd go Pliny
except Bell's 2-Hearted fans must have stuffed the ballot boxNote: I was told at Discount Liquor Thursday that KBS should be on sale about 6pm Friday at both stores
Not wanting to sound too old school but has anyone noticed the dearth of MaiBock this year. Randy Sprecher used to have a very decent one this time of year went to Ray's and couldn't find even one.On an even more depressing note there were 6 or 7 Grapefruit Shandy's available
Lakefront rolled out a new one this year, Schell's usually has a few types but I prefer doppels, I like the German imports like Celebrator, Korbinian, Optimator or else my own: Companionator
Fruity beer has seemingly become all the rage again (mostly around IPAs) and for some reason it depresses me.
Lakefront toned down their former Big Easy, which weighed in at almost 9%.Noticing that as well. Lotta citrus IPAs out there this spring. I'm not necessarily anti-fruit (I'll knock back a few radlers during the summer) but that fad can go away anytime.More than anything else, I think it's brewers trying to inch ahead in an incredibly saturated IPA market.
Thoughts on Capitol's maibock? I think it's decent, not great.
that fairly describes every Capitol brew I have tasted
sours are becoming the new IPA
In that they are overproduced and overliked or in that they are the new "inaccessible" beer only for the discerning beer drinker?
lol, I guess your 1st option sort of aligns with my thoughts that the sour style is the latest fad trend that every brewery feels compelled to get into like IPAs have been for the previous 10 years
