mmm....I love Magic Hat, we just recently started getting it down here and it's nice to have some delicious beer to drink besides Sweetwater. That's not to say SW isn't great because it is, and I love my hometown brew, but let's be honest, I've been drinking it for years, and it's always nice to change things up

Danbird,
They are slowly expanding their market, eventually they will get there. But I'll make sure that I have some for you at Roo. Sort of like Coors in the 1970's, people always took some back east when they came through Colorado.

You will be my hero. My knight with shining Fat Tire
dogfish is good. they make some decent ipa's - the 60 and even the 90. i dont see the appeal of the 120 - i could barely stomach it. only drank it since it was so expensive.
Yea the 60 and the 90 are delicious! Have you tried the Theobroma? I want to try it very bad but havent had the chance.
Theobroma
Availability: Limited
This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into 'food of the gods') is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds).
i might have. the local liquor store near me has tastings all the time. i missed the one two weeks ago when the guy from dogfish was there.
they have a bunch of those "revival" styles - the midas touch, for instance. i've often found they are interesting drinks, but you really just want one. or half of one. or a sip

Dogfish is my favorite beer. Where are you from getfresh? Im from Delaware and we got the brewery in milton and the brewpub in rehoboth.
Ive never tried the Theobroma. It was brewing when i toured, but never got to try it. Im waiting for Immort Ale to show up in stores. Did you try the Burton Baton that just came out?
For anyone living in/near New Orleans, or who is planning to visit New Orleans (and may be here for Jazz Fest) make it a point to take an hour drive up to Abita Springs and visit the Abita brewery for their FREE brewery tour.
It's basically a 2hour "tour" that includes about 15 minutes of showing you the brewery itself and explaining their brewing process, coupled with the rest of the time drinking FREE BEER. And this isn't just any free beer. They give you a cup and let you loose behind the bar, where there are about 10-12-14 (can't really remember) taps of just about every beer they brew.
They have Turbodog, Amber, Light, Jackamo, Strawberry, Purple Haze, even Andygator! (an essential when getting the most out of your 2 hours). My favorite was the Restoration Ale. You could tell it was immaculately fresh, as it taste like eating a handful of hops. Hands down the best pale ale I've ever tasted (even vs the bottled Restoration Ale).
They also have lots of stuff for sale, like tshirts, pitchers, lithographs, bottle openers (and speed keys), and some really sweet beer glasses for $4.
I spoke to one of the workers there asking what the "rules" were, if they had any. He said it's basically just once a day. I then asked if they had locals just coming every day, and he then proceeded to tell me that HE was in fact one of those locals coming every day. Eventually they made him get a job there and told him had to start working for his beer.

Fat Tire is overrated, overpriced, and not that good. It's good to have Bell's (specifically Bell's Oberon) back in Chicago.
No need to be a snob about it......but thanks for putting down all the fat tire fans, it's too bad we can't all be as smart or have the same perfect palette as you

But can you get this superb beer in a can to bring to Roo? The tastes in beer are wide ranging. Some enjoy their fishin' n' football beers, others like the large micro's, others like the small regional micro's that do not have regional, or national distribution.
Fat tire is not the end all of beers, but as being a portable beer now that it is available in cans, I bring it to roo. You can have one if you like, pending lowering your tastes to to drink the swill. ;D
I've had some beers that I just do not like - wheat beer for instance. To each their own.
I'll be bringing some fat tire to share with various friends and acquaintances at Roo. Visit us in what is being called "Camp Custie", where accessible camping means many things to many people.
