^^ that is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen [:-]

 

Yes sir. Will it be hard to find.. I've never seen it before though i have never looked for it.

 

I know. My girl does look hot in her graduation picture.

 

Shipyard Pumpkin head is awesome....hands down i like it better "seasonally" than any other beer.

 

Just had two of these with lunch.

 

Well, if Blue Moon is hard to find in your area, you might not be able to find Dogfish Head easily. Your best bet is to go to the grocery store that has the biggest selection of beer, and preferably an in-house state store. A big liquor store should have it as well. Also, make sure you visit the more upscale areas/stores. That's the demographic that buys the most micros. Cost Plus/World Market stores tend to have decent selection, but you always have to make sure the turn over is good. Some beers react well to aging (usually if they're highly hopped...like ipa's, or if they have over 6.5-7% abv), but most don't, so you don't want to see dust on the bottles, and they should be stored in a cool dry place, preferably a beer cooler.

If you can't find it, two other good pumpkin beers are Brooklyn's Pumpkin Ale and Southern Tier Pumpking. These are all (incl. Dogfish Head) designed to have a pumpkin pie-like taste. They don't taste like the squash (which is what some pumpkin ales shoot for...dunno why)


Hey, we should have a CBR Forum Beer Trade. Anyone interested? I've got a few you guys might be interested in, and anyone west of the miss could get some beers that I'd like to try.

 

i see blue moon all the time in stores around here......never knew it was a good beer, whats it similar to?

 

If you've never had a white ale, it's like nothing else you've ever had. You'll probably taste (...but everyone's wired a bit different) orange, wheat bread dough, and corriander. Nice and crisp and summer...y?

 

Blue Moon is a wheat based beer, unfiltered. It's similar to any white style belgian ale. Hefeweizen is the term, I believe.

It also used to be a micro-brew (I think) when it first came out, then Coors bought it. So I stopped drinking it cause Coors sucks.

Um, I wanted to add these in here: Olde Burnside Brewery in East Hartford, CT, makes a beer called "Ten Penny Ale" Great stuff but hard to find outside CT I'd reckon. They also recently started putting out a porter called Dirty Penny, and this stuff is better than Ten Penny. The only place I found it is at the Uconn games, fresh out of the trailer tap thing. Tomorrow I am going to Uconn's last game vs Pitt, and I'm gonna kill it cause I don't know if I'll be able to find this beer at all over the winter. Select bars have Ten Penny on tap, but none have Dirty Penny that I have seen... Oh man, it's so good at the games, it doesn't even cross any boundary line, hell it barely goes thru two intersections... can't wait... kick off is at noon...

Greek, I may be interested in trading beers with you... how would we do that? Ship them with UPS or something?
