Not that I'm aware of.  At least for sale to the public.  The bar manager might have nabbed some for himself.  I'm not a big IPA guy, so I generally don't bother nabbing them.

Princesca bought a bottle of Leinenkugel's Orange Shandy, didn't like it, and gave it to me.  It's... weird.  But not necessarily bad.

It's worth trying, even if you're not a hop-head.  The booziness overtakes the hoppiness, in a good way.

Does she give you anything else? :)

So post Dogfish Head event:  My favorite was the Theobroma.  It wasn't as chile or as cocoa as I would have liked, but it was very drinkable.  The Positive Contact came in second with the Kvasir rolling in third.  The 61 was terrible in my opinion.  The one nice surprise was that they brought a Randall and did a 90 minute/grapefruit juice combo which was tasty.  The bar manager and I are now pushing to get one for the bar.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

A couple places here have a Randall and they see plenty of use.  Very cool what you can do with them.

I'm drinking a Sweetwater IPA, which has a great nose but is restrained even by East Coast IPA standards.

I've been to two of these, including Church Brew several years back.  And I keep meaning to go to the "gentleman's brewery" in Dayton to see if it's worth the hype.

Newfoundland Screech Rum. :outback: :pirate :Canuck:

Although it is actually a Product of Jamaica :smoke:; that is imported via Somerville, Mass. :elvis:; I assume there is some tangible link to Newfoundland or at least Atlantic Canada?  :hmm: :homestar: :ph34r: 

I'd never noticed this one on the shelves before, so curiosity got the best of me. (It appears to only have US distribution in northern New England, to no-one's surprise.) The pricepoint was quite palatable. :licklips:  And so's the screech, for that matter. :)   

EDIT:  Whoops, I missed that it is bottled in "NL" which must be Newfoundland.  There's the connection, at the very least.  :sleep:

Princesca had a phone interview with the controller at Wild Turkey today that went so well they immediately after scheduled an in-person for next week.  The job will pay better and it sounds like a good opportunity for her in that there's a lot less bullshit bureaucracy there but...

... I'd go from free Knob Creek to free Wild Turkey? :weep:
