Having a Founders dry-hopped Pale at the moment. 

After several months into my "dark beer kick" I do believe that Founders is my favorite brewery.  They seem to be pretty consistent.  Love the Pale, the "dark sexy" Porter, and of course their Dirty b*****d scotch ale is my favorite beer of late. 

In terms of styles I like the scotch ales.....any good dark ale with hints of scotch/bourbon behind it goes down really well.  I like the Stouts a lot too but I can't drink too much of that stuff or I get full fast.

Not entirely sure how I feel about the idea.


Okay

so

My local place got one of only 6 kegs that Yukon sent to Alberta.  I drank 2 pints of the stuff tonight, it was actually really damn good.  Not nearly as fruity as I expected, basically a nice dark brown ale with a lot of subtle character.

Colin, how did you know it was defective and not just a highly carbonated brew?  Was it one you were already familiar with?

I'm tipping a few Green Flash Brewing double stouts. 


Yep, they had a batch that was bottled seriously overpressure

It's from Squamish BC, so I doubt they export much



How was it Colin?  It looks awesome, I can almost taste the molassesLOL


Very heavy, very tasty.  Practically a meal, especially in that 1L bottle

I can't remember if I told you guys about my overcarbonated Hog's Head (a local beer) woes.  My replacement came today, for my one defective 6 pack I got an entire flat of beer (24) and a t-shirt.  Half "Hop Slayer" as before, the other half is "Baby Back Hops"

We're a bunch of friends over here who share a *cough cough* "passion" for beer and brewing and have enjoyed Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival for the last three years. We also made a beer tour to Copenhagen this summer. Highly recommended!

We also run our own micro-micro brewery making all sorts of beer. It's great fun and surprisingly creative. Anyone else interested in brewing their own beer? We've tried lager, different stouts, an assortment of IPAs, some spiced beer, weissbier and a smoked porter. All from real malts, real yeast and real hops. The success rate so far is around 70%, give or take.

Is any other PAer into this?

stone is always a pretty solid choice, but this is definitely my least favorite flavor so far. 
I prefer arrogant b*****d and the IPA

this one is actually really, really delicious.  Its a saison but it tastes a little hefeweizeny

Taking a needed break from research today. Just poured myself this:



Not sure why PA decided to rotate that so oh well. But I'm a bit overwhelmed. Has a strange sugary finish almost like I'm tasting a wort. Initial flavor floral and bitter though.
