Oso planning to go pro
I'm out in San Diego for work. Little known fact... San Diego is one of the great American spots for beer. Despite being a big believer in drinking local, SD has the goods when it comes to good beer.
It's not the little of a fact, Men's Journal just voted San Diego America's Best Beer Town. http://www.mensjournal.com/top-five-beer-townsThough I still think Portland is the tops, it does have some good places. Was the Ruination hoppier than say Hopslam by Bell's?
I LOVE Ruination... I don't love that it is $15 for a 6 pack though.
Enjoying Leinie's Oktoberfest beer these days. It's great for the fall season - not too heavy, not too light. I'm a Honey Weiss guy in the summer.Speaking of Oktoberfest, I remember being in Munich back in 1983 and loving - OK, overimbibing on - Paulaner. Still amazed at how those tiny waitresses could carry so many steins!
I so utterly disgusted by Leinies Oktoberfest now. They changed the recipe 3 yrs ago to make the base of the beer the same as Honey Weiss and it has over sweetened the beer. I was talking to Jake about it and he said that they did it to lower overhead. I was floored. This is also why Red is sweeter now than it was a few years ago.
Amazing how Leinie's went from beer I would splurge for in college (2000-04) to beer I wouldn't even consider now. New Glarus should send Miller a Christmas card every year.
believe it or not, 7 years after graduation, i just had my first lenie's original. I must say, it may be my favorite leine. Seems like it would be a good drink all day beer.
no, but I bet it is overrated :-D
Has anyone had 2 Below by New Belgium?
