    I went to M&V after work today and picked up a bottle of Erdinger Hefe. It is going to get hot later this week, so it should be a perfect time to try it.

    Indeed it will be. Schneider is my all time favorite but I'm pretty sure I have said as much in this thread before.
    You and Frank have me hankering an IPA, which is out of character. Maybe I will pick up a Stone duecer on the way home.

    I am a big fan of the Stone Ruination in all its forms. However, if you want a lighter, but excellent quality IPA, you might try Red Hook Longhammer.

    PX is some what limited (Gotta get home quick, wife and I tag team work and kid watching shifts) but they have a few good German labels, several good America craft brews and a few others mixed in.

    Enthusiasm for craft beer seems to have permeated all aspects of the market. The macros haven't ignored it either. I heard from back home Bell's truned down a buyout offer from AHB who shortly after released Shocktop....

    Awesome! It was a bit too sweet for me but still very nice. Hope to get that Ruination Anniv sometime this weekend.

    Popped this open the other night, lived up to a good amount of the praise it gets.

    I will be off on business for a month or so but when I get bvack...maybe I'll still be in the mood and brew a pale ale with Simcoe and some Willamette and Cascade. This thread has me in the mood.

    I'm drinking a couple SN pale ales today and finishing the night with one of their Autumn Brown ales. Don't ask me why it was at the beer store this time of year. It no worse for the time. Not at all. There is some dark carmally plum from dark crystal malt I think, and some toasted notes form kilned malts. Hop bitterness is notable, but takes a back seat the maltiness like it should in a brown ale. Delicious.

    I went up to Skagit River Brewery again yesterday and got a growler of 404 IPA. It is interesting stuff. You take a sip and get a strong hops hit, but then the middle of your tongue starts to tingle and actually go a little numb. I have heard that some of the compounds in hops can do this, but never actually experienced it before I tasted this one. It is odd that it only effects the middle of the tongue, not the rest of it. It is a good hoppy IPA, grainy with very little sweetness. I like a lot of their beers. I am going to have to go up there more often.

    Do you mean Stone Levitation Ale?
