Actually, yes, at the homebrew club meeting last Friday. Very nice. Even better when it's only $2 a pint at the Elks Club!

$2 a pint is an amazing and dangerous price! The bottle in front of me says its from Rochester NY. I'm just happy to have a new fav. commercial beer!

A friend of mine got some, I only tasted a bit... I don't remember it being bad, but I didn't find it all that memorable either.

I just can't get over the name though. "backdraft brown" sounds like something you REALLY wouldn't want to taste

I just picked up a bottle of that with a mix-your-own six pack last week. I wasn't very impressed, but that's not to say that it was bad. I just wasn't a big fan. I can see where others would enjoy it more.

We've had Hook & Ladder products here for a few months. I've had the Backdraft brown. It's not bad. New Glarus makes a better one. So do I, for that matter. *breaks arm patting self on back*

But it's not bad.
