Does beer actually quench thirst? Like if you're really thirsty, should you reach for a beer? Or will it just make things worse? Sometimes I feel like it helps, but other times I feel like I'm making that up because I just like drinking beer, yaknow? |

Figured they would go 8 for Hanukkah They did go 8. The 9th bottle was capped empty. lol. My bf drank lenny's RIPA before I could snag it. The gift pack came with Hanukkah candles, a sweet 16 glass and instructions for building a beer menorah. Schmaltz is great. |

Did I post that I bought 12 bottles of the Trader Joe's Vintage Ale? Well I have three left. |

Are any of you into sour beers? Flanders Reds, Oud Bruins and the like? I just picked up a few Jolly Pumpkin La Rojas for 10.99 a piece (about 3 bucks off). IMO, the best American made sour out there. Jolly Pumpkin kicks ass in general. |

The best American made sours that I've come across have been courtesy of Cascade Brewing. |

Not too bad, but nothing out of this world. When I want a pale ale that's not too bitter, I might grab another six-pack of this stuff. |

You can order 750ml bottles right off their website and I think I might grab a couple. |

I live about an hour from the SN brewery, so we get a lot of it around here. I know it's widely available around the country, but there are multiple SN beers on tap pretty much everywhere here. I don't get all of the hype over the Celebration. It's good, but not that good. The Torpedo, Tumbler, Ruthless Rye and Kellerweis are all excellent. The Pale Ale is the one beer by SN I don't like. To me, it's an awful example of the style. |

I've never had the Kriek, but I've heard it is decent. |

I still have not reported to Skitch Patterson about all the beers I received. |

SN is a great brewery for any kind of hoppy beer, but their other stuff is just OK in my opinion. They do hops extremely well. |

SN is definitely a hops-centric brewery. Enjoying this while I'm in Tampa: |

I enjoy just about everything SN puts out with their Pale Ale a standard in the fridge. Enjoying a Bell's Special Double Cream Stout, on the texture scale this brew is off the fuckin' charts. |

Loved the Guava Grove. Had Marshall Zhukov's last year. Was a little underwhelmed by that one, but I think some of that just had to do with my sky high expectations. |
