This doesn't even make sense. I feel like I'm reading an elmonthc post.

That sounds like a pain, first off you are walking around with beer, which does 2 things. One it can easily cause shaken cans. 2 I don't want **** bouncing against my legs. That's why I invest in coolers. They keep the beer cold and not shaken.
Also incase you didn't know, they make good beer in cans.

you forgot natty light....
It's time go back to a time when men were men. When you'd rest one of these bad boys on a fender and bloody up your knuckles changing an oil pump. When that didn't go as planned, you'd go inside the trailer and knock your old lady around just for the hell of it. A better, simpler time..

To bump this thread. I've had a few good ales this week.
First starting off with some of the Fat Tire I got as part of my reward for moving my brother and sister in law to New Orleans. Second I enjoyed some Flying Fish Red Fish. Have to give them credit that beer really is a hit for me. I love Flying Fish think they make good beers but I think they're a little lost in their identity. I think they imagine themselves as more of a Belgian style brewer, when their best brews are American Pale Ales and IPAs. To me the best brews they've made are their Exit 16, Exit 9, Red Fish and Hop Fish. Exit 4 is their only Belgian I truly enjoy. Their Dubber is pretty weak, their farmhouse is weak, and their Grand Cru I'm underwhelmed with.
Tonight I'm sipping on a slightly cooler than room temp Weyerbacher Blashphemy. Debating to myself who does American Belgians the best, Weyerbacher, Alagash, or Ommegang? And why are they all in the Northeast?

Had a Dogfish 90 the other night for the first time in a while. Always nice.

90 is really good. In an accidental experiment (and example that I had too much money to burn when I was 21) I bought a case of 90 minute. It wound up lasting about a year or so before I finished it. And tasting it evolve as a beer was interesting.

Stoked that they're now brewing it in Brevard, NC, for East Coast consumption.

I had plenty of East Coast Oskar Blues. I love me some Deviant Dale's.
What I really want is some bar to have Sculpin near me again.

Oh, i know. It's just meant wider distribution in my neck of the woods. It's gas station beer now, which is cool.

Well that's a viable point. Dale's is one of my favorite semi-sessionable beer.

Pretty much anything that Three Floyds brews.

Ommegang a few years ago, but usurped by Alagash recently, as Allagash has started producing larger volumes of bomber-format stuff like their Curieux (while Ommegang has begun experimenting with some really delicious different styles, like the Scythe and Sickle and the Fleur de Houblon). Plus the Allagash tripel is one of my favorite beers, and favorite tripels (American or otherwise), so it's easy to award them the honor.
Boulevard, from Kansas City, also produces some pretty solid Belgians, as does Lost Abbey in San Marcos. I'd moreover be remiss if I failed to mention New Glarus — specifically the (regionally-)famous Spotted Cow, along with their Wisconsin Cherry Red, brewed with Door County cherries.
