Favorite microbrew?
Tonight I'm trying Black Butte Porter from the Deschutes Brewery in Oregon. I like it.

2. What's funny is when people think they are drinking a micro-brew
and that it's from some fancy micro-brewery, but if you read the fine print, it's from Anheuser-Busch. LOL!

4. I don't drink anymore but James Page's Iron Range Amber
or the very hard to find WIld Rice Lager were excellent.

6. Right now, it's Red Hook IPA
But I'm also a fan of Sierra Nevada and Stone Brew Arrogant Bastard. Really, I'm not picky when it comes to beer, though!* :beer:

20. I love the one in Rehobeth...
Their food is as good as their brew. And I've heard good bands the couple of times I've been there on a Saturday night.

Last March we got a room $50 that was only a couple of blocks from the pub. It wasn't fancy, but it was clean, secure, and didn't smell like smoke. We were able to sample several brews without worrying about designated drivers.

Cheers! :beer:

48. Have you been to the wings place on Interstate?
Fire on the Mountain? That's where I first fell for the TG. They have a good marketing thing happening. I saw a TG tap tonight at Bella Faccia

I found Terminal Gravity in a sixer of bottles the other day at Alberta Street Co-op. Warning applied to keep refrigerated for lack of longevity.

Hullo, eeyore. We need to go to the next meet-up, if we can.

21. About time you tried that one!
I remember when it was new, back in my Seattle days... I first had it on tap at Dutchman Ned's, a pub at Pioneer Square, in 1994. It has a real walnutty flavor on tap. :9

Was one of my favorite micros!

39. I've tried most of them
I used to like Coyote Springs quite a bit when they were around.

For the most part I drink Guinness or Boddington's when I'm out. Luckily there's all kinds of good craft beers on the market now, so there's always plenty of quality to choose from.

46. Sheepscott Brewer Pemequid Ale
A very nice and smooth Scottish Ale.

So far you can only get it at several pubs and restaurants in
Maine. He was selling 1 gal. jugs in local Central Coast Maine grocery
stores, but couldn't find any the last time there.

This is strickly a one man operation, but a very good brew.

I usually get it at King Eider Pub in Damarscotta. ME. Have
a dozen oysters from the Damarscotta River with a nice tall pint...Heaven!

47. I question if Sierra Nevada brewing Co is still a microbrewing outfit
But their Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my benchmark for measuring all other ales, bar none. Mmmmm, a Barley sandwich in a glass.

49. My favorite beer of all-time
I only had it once while I was on a semester aborad in England, but it was called Ruddles County Real Pale Ale. It was pumped by hand (no gas) and was great, a nice bitter taste served at room temp.

The English may have bad food, but a nice pub lunch was one of the great things I remember about that semester.
