Beer!

This tastes like a campfire smells.  There's even a hint of hot dog.

I know that sounds bizarre, but this is great.  I love it.

Hey is that Raff on the label? .. nice! 

that I will!  Have a good night Jim.. and yeah.. I'd stay away from there. I've been up to no good as usual with my favorite flamethrowing device.

My mouth

I should check that out!

for entertainments sake

IPA's.. .the Camel and Swilson's of the beer world. Can't wait...

I saw those when at Total Wine when gearing up/spurging for Progday mass consumption of fatally lethal brews... since my toes were in the fetal position without choosing that... it was probably wise I passed.

I'll pick that up next time (just went today in fact) we go to Total Wine. My favorite beers are the ones best served not cold. In fact this damn fru fru soda pop ale I've been nursing for 2 hours tastes slightly better now at room temperature.

as far as beer reviews..... like music. I enjoy being surprised as much as I enjoy being disappointed. Tastes are so damn individual to ever really have someone else guide what I may or may not like. You only find out by trying it out yourself!

Though I'd agree.. I find music reviews more entertainment than informational.   I bet beer reviews would be in the same boat.

^Don't believe I ever have? 
Unfortunately money is tight now so I'm drinking mostly Summit.  One of the decent cheaper beers. 

Founders is a really solid all around brewer.  However I've never like a "fruity/berry" beer yet so I'm a bit hesitant on that one.

Abita is a classic and great brewer.. even if they.. like many of the great regional brewers we used to have .. have been swallowed up by the mega-congramerates.

Abita's Lousiana Spiced Ale ranks in my top 5 American beers... it is a trip to New Orleans in a bottle.  It is a party in your mouth.. yet without feeling too kinky...
