Beers I would recommend

Thanks to folks like BuBBy and Sickpuppy, I have gone from a Rolling Rock guy to a beer snob. I have enjoyed spending many a weekend night in the chatroom sharing some really good craft brews and imports with the the gang!

Although this isn't really a "cocktail", I thought I'd bring some Beer flavor into the lounge...because its about time! Lately, I've been into Belgian ales and barley wine style ales. My current recommendation is the Brooklyn Brewery's Monster Ale. Its a barley wine style ale, with a nice brown color, a good head, and goes down way too smooth. At about 10.1% ABV, its got one heck of a kick. I would compare it to the Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot, but is about $3/six pack cheaper. It runs about $12/six pack.

BuBBy....I hope I've made you proud! LOL

When I'm not snobbing it up with imports, I've found myself digging most of what the Odell Brewing Company does:

Anybody tried Rising Moon by Blue Moon Brewing Co? Or Full Moon? Are they any good?

I'll be honest, I just wanted to be the 100th reply.

This is a very busy thread. People must like beer.

The Atwater Brewery is only a few blocks from where I work. That a good thing, because they brew some great beers (food's not bad either). I picked up some Winter Bock the other day and I'm not disappointed. It's a nice dark amber with a sweet malty flavor.

Dogfish Head Theobroma. I've enjoyed every Dogfish Head beer I have tried and this is one I've been dying to try for some time now. This brew is based on the oldest known chocolate based alcoholic drink; details here http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Occasional_Rarities/Theobroma/66/in...

It's made with Aztec cocoa powder, honey, chilies, and annatto; and each of these flavors stand out without being overpowering. It is sweet, but not nearly as sweet as mead, the chilies cut nicely through the sweetness and leave a pleasing burn like a good bourbon. It has the body, head and lacing of a good Belgian beer. A very good beer by an innovative brewery.
