speaking of founders . . . this sounds interesting.  my soon to be husband said, "wheres the chips, that sounds like salsa."  indeed.



this is from their facebook site, so i hope the picture comes through.  for some reason i think facebook pictures posted on facebook dont show up here.

Anybody had Founders Rubaeus yet?

I picked up a 4 pack yesterday at Magruders - they had it (14.99) and DD (21.99) on the shelf. Have not opened it yet


i have.  drinks like a lambic, hides alcohol well. its okay.
Anyone know if they're serving DC Brau at Merriweather? Going to the show tonight but only saw it there at Sweetlife, and those were served at temporary bars just for that festival.
yes . . . nice to know for sat and sun.  beer and phish; what could go wrong?
found a new cheapest beer.. its called genesse i think…  not very good though.. had never seen it but shoppers has it… i hear their "Cream Ale" might be better…

$14.79 gets you 30 cans.. anyone can beat that?

;D

This thread is about quality, not quantity.  ;)

You do not want me to drink beer with added lactose.  Trust me.
fellow beer snobs, any must haves on this list minus the obvious topper, lawsons, hf?

atomicfront, please don't give me your opinion.
Those Dieu de Ciel beers will range from wonderfully interesting to wonderfully awesome (the Peche Mortel and Aphrodisiaque).

And of course Stone RuinTen and Enjoy By.

My knowledge of VT brewers beyonf the big three and the mediocre one are lacking. Though I should brush up since I'll be there in a few weeks.

Let us know what the standouts are!

no personal experience with any of these breweries, but a few interest me.

checkout vermont pub & breweries selection.  watermelon wheat sounds unique, and so does their sour IPA.

whetstone's away we gose too.

You are trolling. 
Why, because he decided to do a beer vacation to Vermont instead of Munich?

greatful hands makes some good stuff.  definitely catch dieu du ciel.  captain lawrence makes some interesting stuff (check out the Golden Delicious if they have it).

you can skip wolaver's and long trail.  decent beers but i've never had anything "wow" from them.

Because he told me to not give my opinion.  I would not give my opinion of beer I haven't drunk before.  If he is going there why does he need your opinion on what beer to drink anyway.  Just drink the beer and make your own opinion. 
Perhaps there are certain people who post here whose beer opinion he respects. He's not going to be able to try everything, so why not get some suggestions.

But you know that, don't you. You're just trolling.

He started trolling.  He tells me not to respond which is trolling.  Now the thread is about his trolling instead of him getting an opinion.
