Same for me. I love Gordon, it's one of my favorite beers, and it comes in a can! After Gordon, my favorite canned beers would have to be: 2.Gubna 3.Ten Fidy 4.21st Amendment Monk's Blood 5.Old Chub

Every single one of those made me feel nauseous just reading it. I was going to say I don't know why people are so against Beer cocktails, but after reading that list, I know why. I guess a shandy/radler is the only beer cocktail I like. I've tried Corona and Grenadine before, which...

A Shandy, which is just a wheat beer mixed with lemonade is quite delicious.

I was thinking the same thing. That's probably why all they had was bud lite. They didn't want people getting fat drinking good beer. If it were me, I would be disappointed, but at the same time it's free beer, I'd get over it quick.

Absolute truth right there. To the OP, It takes time, just pick up a few things that interest you every time your at the store, you'll start learning what styles you like, and it will get easier and easier to pick up a new brew. You'll also expand your knowledge base enough, that you can...

Anyone give this a try? I'm not really a fan of any Red Hook stuff, so I was a bit weary to pick this up for $4 something a bomber, but I was very pleased, and have since bought probably 10 bottles of the stuff. Being available at Plaid Pantry (OR & WA version of 7-11, basically) is a huge...

I've tried the Dopplebock, thought it was OK. A bit too sweet and without much complexity in my opinion. They sell for like 10.99 here I believe. A craft brew store here used to cell 4 packs of Celebrator for around 12 bucks, so at the time I always went with the Celebrator. The shop raised...

I'm betting that was a big part of my initial distaste for it, as I mentioned I had some Gordon and Double Mocha Porter prior. After drinking the rest of the (then less carbonated) bottle it was far more pleasant, and did remind me of a Belgian Whit. I'll have to grab another bottle before...

After not being too happy with the Karmeliet I re-corked it and threw it back into the fridge with about 3/4ths of it left. Tried it again today, warmer, and with probably about 30% of the carbonation gone. Tastes much better to me now, still getting that skunky flavor, although just a faint...

I picked up a bottle of Tripel Karmeliet tonight, after hearing quite a lot of good things about it. I was not impressed. In fact I was downright disappointed. It tasted like extremely dry and cheap champagne mixed with Heineken to me. The skunk factor was pretty high. I really didn't get much...

A few years ago there was a pretty bad snow/ice storm here and I took advantage by going to a nearby school (which was closed, kiddies were out for winter break) with a friend and do some crazy snowy driving. I had an 88 Crown Vic with a straight piped 5.0, so I drew even more attention to...

Whole foods here in Portland has them, a buddy brought a sixer over on Saturday. I think he said it was 10.99/6pk

Am I missing something here? The OP said nothing about adding caffeine to his brew, just using coffee. And yes the coffee beer gods have spoken.... in favor of coffee beer. There are quite a few coffee beers out there... To answer the OP's question, I'm no lawyer but I know a local brewery...

I used to hate hoppy beers, usually making fun of them in one way or another. Then a friend made me try SNPA (I know it's just an APA) which I really liked, but it took me some time to admit it. Then I started drinking increasingly hoppy beers, to the point where Torpedo seems less hoppy now...

I'm really shocked how expensive beer evidently is in Canada! Crazy! Even with the exchange rate Canadian beer is cheaper here than up there, kind of funny. A good friend of mine only drinks Coors light, which I'll drink a few of now and then. It's the only BMC beer I've had that actually...

That's the thing I'm totally not understanding here... I'm not well versed in trademark law, anyone with more understanding care to chime in? Is A-B's awful "Wild Blue" lager infringing upon the trademark of Oskar Blues because they both have the word blue in them? There are tons of words that...

Well I think in theory, your bucket and chilled wort could get contaminated, but there is no way around this as it needs to ferment in something. Where as, there is a way to get around the risk of pouring the tested beer back into your fermenter, by just not doing it. Plus there would seem...

It doesn't seem like they are protecting their branding. It seems like they are just being petty. I could totally understand if Oskar Blues was selling a beer with "Gordon Biersch" plastered across the can. But they weren't, they were selling a beer, that comes in a CAN instead of a bottle...

That seems pretty lame of Gordon Biersh to due such a thing. On the linked article someone had E-Mailed them complaining, and got this response: "I understand your consternation over the information you probably received from the two blog postings linked to below. Let me assure you that, as...

How much you want to bet they use Cocoa Pebbles in this one? ;) Someone should check to see if Post owns Lennies.
