Oso planning to go pro
Tentative NG Unplugged schedule for 2010So the word from Dan the Man is that they have their Unplugged beers pretty well decided for 2010. Their distro meeting is tomorrow I believe, so they have to have it somewhat decided by then. A lot of this is based off the voting from a few months ago, so they are bringing back a few old favorites. The unofficial list is:EnigmaApple AleCherry StoutAbt (think Westy/Bernardus 12)Also, they are "thinking" of replacing Hop Hearty w/ a "paler, West Coast type aromatic" ale. There was some dissent to this idea in the tour group I was in, so if you are in favor of this change, please please please flood their mailboxes with your support!
I had the Great Lake Christmas Beer on tap this past weekend. Damn good choice for a holiday beer if you can find it. Spicy, malty with some hop balance.
they have it at campus foods. they are actually growing quite a nice stock of craft beer at campus foods due to the request of a couple students
do they still turn their coolers off at night like they used to?
Had the Sierra Neveda Celebration, great beer! Not spicy like other seasonals. Also, right now enjoying a bomber of Weyerbacher Insanity. Coming in 11.5%, but the smoothest thing I have ever had over 10%. Dark red, pours really nice. Highly reccomend it.
I have a half barrel of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale tapped on my beermeister in the garage....has been very tasty for about a 10 days now.
Is celebration an IPA?
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091221/twl-large-blaze-at-guinness-factory-site-3fd0ae9.htmlA day of great concern. Guinness was my first non-ale, non-lager beer. My introduction to the stouts of the world. A great and worthy beer, though I prefer others now. Thankfully, it looks like production won't be affected.
Fair point. To be more accurate, it was my first Stout. Should have said that in the first place.
Just took down a few Sierra Neveda Extra IPA. Solid beer. Doesn't blow your socks off, but a nice beer.
