Had this one last night. Bought it more for the novelty. After a few sips I was over it, but then I started eating Reese Buttercups with it, and the beer tasted great with it, lol. I doubt I would buy another one though.
I'm trying to keep track of destinations I've been to. I'm sure a few of you can beat me on this. I need to add some new stuff to this list soon also.

It's October. Why is this great beer news? Founders Breakfast Stout comes back this month. I love this beer more than almost any other. Permanent member of my top 5.
So a few months ago I picked up the Treehugger Ale by Terrapin. Their slogan "this beer will grow on you" is pretty accurate. I didn't like it at first, but it eventually warmed up to the style and think it's pretty decent.
I've been drinking 21st Amendment's Fire Side Chat at a neighborhood bar and loving it. While at the grocery store today, I noticed they had 2 six pack boxes of it in the middle of the aisle stacked in between all of the other regular brews. I'm so excited.
seriously? I mean by no means is it a bad beer, Ive never considered it one of the greater canadian beers tho. I may have to revisit this one.
First one I ever had was purchased in a gas station in Quebec( big deal because a.) I was 18 and b.) back home you.could only get beer at liquor stores) Me and 2 friends were driving back to Halifax from at Queens of the Stone Age show in Montreal.(12 hour drive) I remember sitting in the back seat listening to Tom Waits for the first time, as I skinned my index finger while trying to pop off the top with a lighter. Good memory.
All Funked Up, Framboise from Against the Grain, Louisville. Usually these raspberry aperitif ales are sweet, but this one was crisp, dry and smooth. Burrrrp. Moar.

AtG is definitely the best microbrew in town.
Boner, it's definitely my new favorite. I could be biased as Belgian style beers are my favorite.
This might just be the most Rhode Island thing to ever happen in Rhode Island. Short of a six pack of this next to a plate of stuffies in quahog shells.
For those of you who don't know about the Rhode Island stuff, Narragansett is the local cheap beer that is beloved in the area. Autocrat is the Rhode Island company which produces the syrup to make coffee milk - which is actually a thing in Rhode Island.
I may need to save a few cases of this for Quack Club next summer, for all the out of towners.

A craft beer brewery in Michigan named Dark Horse turned down a huge endorsement deal from the band Nickelback because nobody really liked them. Nickelback wanted to feature a Dark Horse truck dropping off crates of the craft beer to a frat party, but the owner of the brewery said, "I absolutely hate that band." At the time, the Nickelback-hating brewery employees lamented, "why can't it be some cool band like Slayer?"

Has anyone else experienced the uncompromising joy of Bell's HopSlam Double IPA? Limited run in the first month or so of every year, $18 per 6 pack. Just rolled out in SW Ohio, will come to Kentucky early next month. It's sweet and bitter and full flavored but not overpowering. I'm kind of in love.
It's strange to seeing craft beer coming around in my direction. A few years ago, there was a brewpub about 10 miles to my northwest - but it closed. Now there's a brewery one town to my north, which does pretty decent stuff. And a few months ago, a brewpub opened one town to my south - sadly this one allegedly halfasses the brewing process and comes out with terrible product.

It's pretty cool that breweries and microbreweries are really starting to catch on and get bigger. Here in Cincinnati, we've had 4 new ones (Mad Tree, Rhinegeist, Triple Digit/Listerman's, and 50 West) in the past two years alone. All of them are now canning and distributing locally outside of their own taprooms.
