psa: you need this

Dales Pale Ale will make your tail smell.

Back in the day we had a hussy that we called Stale Gail with the odd tail smell.

 

is moonshine the next trendy booze?

 

that girl should shave her arms.

 

These guys make some sick beer too. Outta South Cackilack. I love the IPA and the one claw. Lots of these little craft companies, especially in the SE are moving to the cans. Wasn't sure how they would sell, but that stuff flies outta the bar. Just throw a couple cool looking cans up and the touristas are like, whats that? And Of course I love stone IPA, the best IPA in the world =)

 

zach just went on their website. they have a ton of beers. i havent seen it up my way but will keep an eye out. my problem with the craft beers is how outrageous they are in price now. its gotten so bad that some are now selling a 4 pack for $10. sorry but thats crazy. dont get me wrong, i love trying out all these craft beers. its become quite a hobby.... but at what point are people going to say this is too much. i just found an ipa made by schafly last weekend. 6 pack of cans for $5.99. i thought it was a typo, but it rung up at that price. solid ipa, low abv, nothing extraordinary, but worth it for the price. i started making my own in the fall and its been incredible.

 

Dales pale ales are delicious and they come in cans which i love because they are easier to sneak around.......but a wee bit too expensive for meh

 

In my experience, its usually an ABV thing. A lot of the crafts that are super pricey are those crazy IPAs with a ton of alcohol in them. I.E. The deuce deuce of Arrogant Bastard that probably goes for $8.99. Thats crazy...

But other than that, yeah, the crafts get too pricey to just have around all the time. I have no clue why some beers, I.E. Sierra Nevada and Stone IPA cost more in California than here. And its not a cost of living thing. I mean, I worked a few miles from the damn brewery and it was still $10 for a sixer. Im paying like $7.99 in SC. Makes no damn sense.....

What I really enjoy doing though, now that they built this crazy super Kroger on the island, they have a craft and international beer isle that you can "build your own six pack". Thats whats up. Ill go 6 different germans one day, or maybe a tour around the world, or 6 different IPA. It usually costs out at about 10 bucks, but you can enjoy many different beers, with different ABVs.

Anyway, i dig it.

 

Or just get a rack of Yuengling - best beer anywhere. Man, waited so long for it to get back to Boston. Spicoli doesn't even drink much, but when he does - it's Yuengling.

 

Having dales pale ales tonight to get a buzz.

Also had some on the plane to and from Colorado. It was a Colorado based airline so they were only like 3 or 4 bucks.


So good. Love that they are in cans too.

 

In the northeast, everyone agrees that Heady Topper by the alchemist is tops.
Only sells in VT. Way over priced and hyped, but pretty damn good.

 

I'll go for an IPA in bottle 100 times over a can...

...still leaves me curious...where can I find that bubbly?

 

I hear you.

Cans are convenient in a lot of ways however.

Smaller, quieter, easier to open, and no chance of breaking.

 

i'm w/ you, my good man. the yuengling is always a good fail-safe beer. unfortunately, IMO, it doesn't travel well. mrs. njsurfer42 & i went out to ohio for my cousin's wedding back in june. i was stoked to find a case of the brown stuff in the cooler at the rehearsal dinner after-party, but that was short lived. the yuengling was terribly skunked & tasted awful.

 

i am truly not an IPA fan...too hoppy for my taste. i'm generally more of a stout or porter fan. & i like my small niche craft brews w/ a nice, high ABV...7% or better, please.

have you been by cape may brewing co? they make great beer, including an award winning IPA.

 

Disappointing, Emass. I enjoy Yuengling once in a while, but let's face it...it's a small step up from studweiser.

See if you can get your hands on some Bissell Brothers out of Portland, ME. "The Substance" is the Heady Topper of Maine.

 

It's straight up sate level taxes

The thing cans have over bottles from a brewing standpoint is that they are impervious to light...uv rays reacts with a chemical in the hops and that's what skunks your beer. It's also why you see the majority of craft brews in brown bottles, as many believe that brown is more impervious to uv light than green or clear glass. That being said, if I'm going to drink a good beer, than I am going to pour it into a pint glass, so glass or cans both work for me.

 

if you like porters and stouts check out shake chocolate porter by boulder brewing company. i had it in a flight last winter up in NYC. best porter ive ever had. the only problem is im not sure if you can find it around here.

yes ive been to the brewery down there quite a few times. a great spot with really good beers and a fun crowd. every time i go they are packed (in a good way). good to see some great local beer coming out of our neck of the woods.

 

Try deez:

 

Truth.

I guess it's just when I think of cans, I think of Shlitz and Milwaukee' Best.
