By, does New Belgium distribute up your way? They do a good Graetzer in collaboration with 3 Floyds.

I'm not a huge fan of smoked beers in general but I like the Graetzer style.

Mihalia, see if your place carries Old Dominion lager.  Probably the best lager I've ever drunk.  Incredibly crisp and clean.

Off and on.  I'll try to pull some strings at the bar I work at to nab some.  That or just go to the source and con some of the beer reps into carrying some.  I'm currently in the process of bribing my aunt to smuggle me some 3 Floyds next time she comes to New York.  I have yet to have a Graetzer, though I've read about them.  They definitely seem like something I'd enjoy thoroughly.

Graetzer is hard to find, though I'm guessing we'll see more being brewed in the next year or two.  I had never heard of Gose until the middle of last year & it's starting to appear all over the place now.

I haven't had coffee at work in a long time but lack of sleep made it necessary today. I have grown weak - I haven't been hit this hard by caffeine in a long while. :weep:

Yeah - I cut out caffeine at least a year ago.

I can have about a half cup with no major effects, but if I drink more than that I get the shakes pretty noticeably.  :Embarrass:

At my last job (more than 2 years ago), I used to drink coffee daily so had lots of caffeine all the time.

Here I switched to just having a cup of tea. I guess that caffeine content is really low in comparison. :D

Very hard for me to OD on caffeine, even if I've been without it for a while.

There was this one place at my old work on the ground level that had coffee that I called crack coffee. Even with my regular coffee dirnking ways, it would always wire me out if I had a full cup. It was really surreal as before that I'd never had any caffeine problems other then in college when I would caffeine binge during all nighters.

Today I had lemonade with pickled plums at a Vietnamese restaurant.  It was a sweet, salty, chunky lemonade with a taste of plum.  It was a odd to my tastes, but I guess the Vietnamese love salty lemonade.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I quite like Bulleit rye. It's got a touch of caraway in it. It works.

Tried various flavors of Aloe Vera drink. According to the tin produced in South Korea and distributed from Slovenia.

Rather good, even if it tastes a bit artificial, and the Aloe Vera jelly bits floating in it feel a bit weird in the mouth at first.

I think I like guava and pomegranate best.

Pretty tasty.  Makes a good winter beer IMO.

Theobroma | Chile Beer with Cocoa Nibs | 9%

Have not tried this yet but it sounds interesting.  It's distributed in Ohio but I've never seen it in any bottle shop here.

QuoteMidas Touch | Ancient Ale | 9%

Classic.

QuoteBirra Etrusca | Bronze Ale | 8.5%

I tried to like this one.  I forget the stuff they use to provide the bitterness but it's just off-putting.  Wasn't a huge fan.

QuoteRed & White | Witbier with Pinot Noir Juice | 10%

Have not had it but sounds like something I'd like.  Pretty strong for a witbier, though.

QuotePositive Contact | Beer/Cider Hybrid | 9%

Sure this is good, too.

Quote61 Minute | IPA with Syrah Grape Must | 6.5%

Had this a couple weeks ago for the first time.  About as close to a Session IPA as you get from Dogfish.

Quote90 Minute | Double IPA | 9%

Already enough been written on this one.

QuoteWorld Wide Stout | Imperial Stout | 15-20%

I keep meaning to get a bottle or two to cellar for a few years when it's available here.


Did you guys get a hold of any 120 from the latest release?
