Don't worry, be hoppy.TrafficJam wrote:

They're both hoppy but I'm developing a taste for it.
Lagunitas is a gateway drug. I am mainlining the hard stuff now, but I'll still pour a 'Lagunitas Sucks' when I want something light.TrafficJam wrote:

that Vienna Lager is really good. I hear they have an awesome BBQ sandwich too.
The AT is on the east side of 81 starting at Daleville. I think DB is right down the mountain from Reids Gap which is about 14 miles south from Rockfish Gap (Afton mountain on 64)TrafficJam wrote:

Would like some clarification. I've been to both but I'm not sure which side of 81 the AT is in this area.

I highly recommend this beer
I have a couple hundred beers aging in my cellar right now. I've found that Barlywine, and high-alcohol type beers improve the most with aging. Some beers can go many years (Thomas Hardy's comes to mind), but your typical hoppy ales should be enjoyed fresh. The stouts are tough to call, some are best fresh, some with just a year or two on them. It is fun to save a bottle for each of several years and then have a tasting 'vertical' with friends to see which year people like best.TrafficJam wrote:
until now, I've never heard of saving and aging beer. How do you know to save?

My favorite beers to age are..
Dogfish 120
Dogfish World Wide Stout
Goose Island Bourbon Barrel Stouts (just a few years)
Avery Samuel
Avery Mephistopheles
Avery PumKYn
Avery Uncle Jacobs (just a year or two)
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (I think these taste worst in years 2-4 and then start improving around year 5)
Founders Devil Dancer (age same as the above)
Thomas Hardy's (only a few left )
I just bought two bottles of Dogfish 'Higher Math' today. This is an example of a beer that gets poor ratings on BeerAdvocate because people do not understand it. Yes, it is too sweet, and boozy to enjoy right now. But in a few years the sweetness will give way to something richer and more complex. The flavors will begin to harmonize. Sometimes I get them wrong, but I have a lot of faith in this one. Higher Math is going to be great, people just need to be patient.
I am with you on that. I read that post and I thought how does he do that?TrafficJam wrote:

The best beer I've ever had was when I was living in Europe.
It was made by the Trappist monks from Belgium.
As I remember it not only was it very tasty but you had to drink it with your teeth together to strain out the "stuff" that was still in it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trappist_beer

Chimay Red and Blue (Grand Reserve) are commonly available in the US but to me both are best enjoyed while sitting on the plaza outside the monastery with a hunk of cheese and a loaf of bread still warm from the oven.

I was referring to the new bar, liquor store and marina across the road from the original Flora-Bama (probably still plastic walls). They're gearing up big time for spring break dollars.Drybones wrote:

I liked those plastic walls and tarps, gave it the kind of class I'm accustomed to, that down home look, we always stayed at the Phoenix next door so no driving would be required, I've got to make it there one year for the mullet toss.chief wrote:
