[Dude]

Sounds fun, but I'll be out of town.

Headed to the land of Beer and Cheese!!!!

 

[SwAMi75]

Damn, that sounds like fun!

 

[Nate]

Post-event report... small crowds and hot as hell. Beer was good though.

 

[SwAMi75]

WIsh I could have made it, but work/kiddo didn't allow.

Did you try Legend's Imperial Pilsner?

 

[Nate]

I don't think anyone in our group tried it... did we miss out?

 

[todd_k]

I didn't go. too frickin' hot.

I had it through the beer engine at Capital Ale House. It rocked, but I'd like to try it cold and carbonated.

I just attended one of the James River Homebrewers meetings and during the meeting (which is held at Legend) they passed around several samples of Legend brews. I personally found the regular Pilsner to be better than the Imperial Pilsner but my tastes lean more towards Porters and Stouts then the Hoppier beers.

Did you try the Imperial IPA? I had some the other night and loved it.

OK, now that is weird. Dude, have you developed a time machine?

Didn't try the imperial IPA, but their regular IPA was good (I think someone else said it was closer to an APA-which would explain why I liked it). I am however getting to like the hoppier beers more and more, maybe it's an acquired taste.
