For some really good beer one should look to the Pacific Northwest and more specifically Oregon. There is a brewery in Bend, OR called "Deschutes Brewery". Their most popular beer is the Mirror Pond Pale Ale. You can order it online at bottletrek.com.
just saw this - http://coedmagazine.com/2009/09/25/7-beers-to-try-before-you-die/ Of the 7 - Founders Breakfast Stout, great beer
On the way for Sushi tonight, stopped into the Wine Cellar in Elm Grove (on Bluemound). They have added a very nice beer section. The finds...Alpha King in 6 packs (guess they started shipping in Wis 2 weeks ago)andCentral Waters - all 6 packs for 6.49 - I went with the Mud Puppy Porter and the Imperial Stout....nice place, nice owners...
So i went and picked up some Gumballhead due to some of the posts on this board... and i hated it. First of all, i really don't like any wheat beers, they are much to sweet i think, and this one was no better. I was super sweet and citrus-y, with an almost sour-mango aftertaste... not what i want in a beer. all of my roommates agree this tastes pretty terrible. as far as wheat beers go, i would ever prefer a new glarus crack'd wheat to this. give me a spotted cow/high life/banquet beer over Gumballhead any day
Founders Breakfast Stout was delicious. DELICIOUS!
Eagerly awaiting my first taste of this beer. Had to pull some strings to get it to TN, but will be arriving next week along with some 3 floyds. I really they are both as good as this thread has built them up to be...On a cheap note, I got a 6 pack of Black Toad dark ale from trader joes last week. It tastes a lot like 1554, only a fraction of the price.
There is a really good beer out the west called fat tire. I am not sure if this has been posted yet but it is worth trying out if your looking for a good new beer.
Never heard of it. Hards, you ever had Fat Tire beer?
