wow, the Ballast Point Dorado Double IPA is fantastic. very nice balanced hoppy taste with a nice finish, and damm does it pack a punch!

 

You need to try Bell's Hopslam. Shit is great, incredibly hoppy. Bell's Two Hearted Ale is another good IPA.

I'm really into IPA's too... Big Sky IPA is a really solid, readily-available IPA (at least around here). It's just hard to recommend alot of microbrews because many aren't available across the nation.

Side note: I can't wait to have beermosa's tomorrow... got a brunch date. Beer + OJ = win. This place has a local brewery brew a special belgian white to use.

 

where is Big Sky out of? I've heard of that brewery before, I swear I've seen them before. Where is Bell's located out of. Its seems that I can get most of the west coast stuff including Cali, Oregon, Colorado, AZ, and New Mexico as the brewery hubs.

If you ever see any AZ stuff Sonoran brewery, or 4 Peaks is really worth trying. both produce some great stuff.

 

Well, Im not much of a lager or IPA fan...but if you are ever in the Stout mood, I recommend:

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
Youngs Oatmeal Stout
Murphy's Irish Stout
Rasputin's Russian Stout

just to throw in:

New Belgiums 1554 (black ale)

 

IPA's are gross. I can never finish it. However, Stouts are fucking amazing. I will try Youngs and Rasputins if I can find it. Murphy's is pretty good.

 

Big Sky is out of Missoula, MT.

Bell's is in Comstock, MI.

I'll keep my eye out for the AZ stuff.

 

Ive had murphy's and thats very tasty. I've heard of rasputin's, I'll have to try it. where is youngs from?

oh thats right they make moose drool, I like their stuff.

I'll have to look out for Bell's.

 

Yup. Moose Drool is a great brown ale. They do a great porter as well.

 

Fucking :werd:

 

i don't know what it means to say something tastes hoppy.
