Busch Light $9.99 a CASE back when I was in college.......they we're just begging us to get wasted....LOL!


Back to the IPA stuff.....I had a Sierra Nevade Celebration last night....

man, that was pretty damn good! Really liked it....and hadn't had one since I'd grown to love the hops. I'll be having PLENTY more of those this holiday season, that's for sure.

Like DFH 90 Min... both hoppy and malty, which is why I avoid it. Have you had the DFH Burton Baton? There is so much malt in that thing... major bummer.

I actually really like Burton Baton's flavor but can't drink more than one without it getting to be too much of... everything! It's a session ender because I'm usually done with drinking after having one.

Dogfish Head just shipped their Squall, which is a bottle conditioned IIPA. I had a few bottles from their last batch and it was much more hop forward than their 90 Minute. (or is it less malty?) Regardless, it's worth checking out if you can get your hands on some.

I have a great local beer bar (cigar friendly outside) that always manages to get some of even the special releases from Dogfish and many others. I know the owner a little and he's a craft beer nut of the first order. He travels to build his personal stock of special brews and when he can, he does special buys for his bar. I will certainly be on the lookout for Squall.

Click to expand...
I'll add that to my list Larry.....as I did look up the Track 1, and noticed it was a lager..

Edit: ..just tried looking up the loose caboose, and either my google skills have failed me, or it's so new, it has yet to be uploaded on the fancy internet machine..

You have a link to info on it you can post Larry?

The big eye is good also. The bottles of that I had was a while ago and unsure on the freshness. However the sculpin was like they just added hop juice compared to what I remember of the big eye.

Still love my $32 cases of Two Hearted though!

Kyle, truth be told I don't believe it has been released to the public yet. A good friend of mine here in Raleigh, Matt Machtay, just bought Roanoke Railhose Brewery. He showed up at Empire Cigars last Sunday night with a couple of growlers of Loose Caboose. We were getting ready to watch the Steelers/Saints game when he arrived with the beer. I guess you could say we were his trial subjects, and the IPA was just wonderful.

The best one i've had in a while.....including Ballast Point Sculpin, RR Blind Pig, Port Brewing Hop-15 and High Tide etc....is Stone Ruination IPA.

It's amazing. Any hop-lover out there who may have been interested in trying Russian Rivers Pliny the Elder, but was unable to find it....just go buy a bottle or 3 of this stuff. Very similar IMO, and more readily available as well, which is a huge plus. Drinking another one this evening, as the last time I had it I was tasting a bunch of different stuff, but this one's just as good as before.

These guys don't seem to think so, although I will keep an eye out for it as I love trying new stuff.

I find myself using beer advocate more and more as a resource for trying new stuff....like when I'm in the store looking for something i've never tried. I look at it kind of like BOTL, in that they're just guys who dig beer, doin' reviews. For the most part, I've found the average scoring to be a fairly decent indicator of how much I'll like it....but again, just for the most part.
