Recently had several beers at Rooster Fish Brewing in Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes. All of their styles I tried were quite well done. I'm not a Hefeweizen guy but enjoyed theirs - the bananna and clove notes were a bit understated which I liked. Fantastic IPA, Nut Brown Ale and coffee porter. My one gripe would be the darker/heavier beers being served too cold and in refrigerated glasses. Very tasty other than that, though.

Really liking Great Divide Collette. Loved a Lips of Faith la Folie last weekend. That is wild stuff, and just awesome. Gonna have to track down more sour beers now.

I've been looking forward to this one for a couple of months now.

The entire Saison Dupont lineup. The (dry) organic, biodynamic, honey ale is incredible.

FWIW: this is, generally speaking, my favorite beer line in the world. And Foret remains my favorite "classic" beer, but man that honey beer was good, too.

Anyone try the Stone Green Tea IPA yet. I picked up a couple today so I hope to crack them tomorrow once they are chilled down.

Sierra Nevada Summerfest after a hard day of watching the movers pick up my stuff. Cleaning and yard work all weekend and then I move 200 more bottles of wine to Virginia

I freaking love this stuff. My house IPA.

Tonight, multiple Dogfish brews.

For those in Arizona, or others who might be able to find it... Four Peaks Brewing Company - Eight Street Ale. Hoppy and citrusy and refreshingly yummy on a 115 deg. day in Phoenix!

I don't drink that much beer anymore, but that is always a favorite.

Right now, while relaxing before dinner - Fat Tire.

My friends and I visited their brewpub in Tempe last October. Some very good things going on there.

Abita Turbo Dog, then a Thirsty Planet Thirsty Goat while waiting for takeout from the neighborhood bistro.

A dubbel from Bier Brewery, a local brewery that specializes in Belgian style. Not bad at all!

St. Arnold Amber Ale

I just picked up a case of wine, and came VERY close to buying this beer, but a friend walked into the store and I then forgot before checking out.

What did you think?
