I tried that Leinenkugel's porter this winter and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaated it. All of their beers taste like saccharine and cat pee to me. That one was just chocolate cat pee. :)
Maybe the 'beetus killed my taste buds over the last few years. It's a better time than ever to get them checked out, I presume. And since my cats have accepted me as part of their pride, I'm likely to be ambivalent towards feline urine.
I declare, your taste buds have matured from the PBR oil can drinking days of...not so long ago. Where's your old avatar hiding? :)

This. I don't necessarily have a problem with corporate beer as long as it is good. If the Anheuser-Busch plant down the street wanted to start making Matilda and Pepe Nero, I'd be all over that delicious, local beer.
Agree. As long as they don't cheapen up on what they do under AB ownership. When you get the bean counters involved, quality ingredients go first.

I propose Leinenkugel be blacklisted from this thread, never to be spoken about ever again as a beer.
That sounds so - Mitt Romney. I propose that we speak open and freely about the beers we like on a thread about our favorite beers. Beer snobbery reminds me of another thread that needs resurrected:

The Leinenkugel Kölsch was spot on at Beerfest IMO. I think that I said at the time that I'd defer to somebody that had one in Cologne. Not necessarily the most intriguing beer I've had of late, but true to style and very drinkable.

That's cute. No snobbery here, I drink more Coors original than anyone I know.
But as Leinenkugel becomes the Boones Farm of beers I think it's okay to crack jokes. ;)

PZ...Just because I drank PBR doesn't mean I didn't have a solid palate for beer, thanks. :) I drink PBR when I want something cheap and cold. Actually these days I go for Hudy when I want cheap and watery. I just think Leinenkugel makes a crappy product with crappy artificial ingredients is all. I can't fathom giving them nearly the same amount of cash that I can pony up and get something great from Bell's, Founder's, Avery, Dogfish Head, or any of our fine local brewers. Them calling that summer shandy they make beer is an insult to actual beer.
But hey...drink whatever ya want. Everyone can like whatever they like as long I don't have to put it anywhere near my mouth. :)

I just got back from a trip to Florida and fully acquainted myself with Cigar City's Jai Alai IPA. I love this beer.

In the San Antonio region on business and the first stop after checking into the hotel was to go pick up the Real Ale Brewing Company 6-pack sampler for the week. Rye Pale Ale, Pale Ale, and Brown Ale....all excellent brews.
Plus, I couldn't resist picking up a 6-pack of their dry-hopped porter to smuggle back in my suitecase. I might have to try to bring back some Deschutes as well, but my guess that would put me well over the 50 lbs luggage limit. that would end up being a $100 6-pack with the airline fees. Lets see if I can figure out a way to bill it to the client *wink*
I love combination work trips / beer-cations!

Damn good beer. Was very surprised. Just picked up some Lagunitas Lil Sumpin this weekend.
Grabbed some Oskar Blues Ten Fiddy tonight.
Has a little more bite out of the can than when I had it on tap recently.
Still for a 10.5% abv I give this a 9/10 even out of the can. Glad Oskar Blues is now easy to pick up in Ohio now.

The brewers at Barley's Smokehouse have crafted some truly exceptional ales that are worth a sampling this weekend: Bourbon barrel-conditioned St. Joan's Revenge Imperial Stout and Barley's Deep Wood Reserve triple dry hopped with Columbus.
Being tapped tonight is a barrel-conditioned Scottish Export Ale dubbed Woody Haze 100, lovingly named after the legendary coach, and, "unfiltered like the man." I will try to make my way over there tonight for some of this!

Speaking of actual beer, has anyone tried Actual Brewing beer?
Yep. I've had a few things one of the brewers has made over the years prior to Actual's actual existence. I got to stop in the new digs a couple months ago and poke around and taste some stuff they were working on...stuff not yet for commercial consumption. It was a rye IPA and probably the best one I've had from any brewer in recent memory. Those guys are gonna kill it.
Jason and Jen are roasting some great coffee in there too.

I'm digging the Bell's Smitten this week. Great session beer. The rye gives it just enough 'something different' to make me want to keep it on hand for warmer months.

This shall be the first beer purchase in the new apartment this weekend...if you and Snarf didn't drink all of it.

I've been on a pretty big Hopslam kick the last month or so. Grabbed a sixer of Lagunitas Sucks last night and plan to drink it up tonight before Umphrey's McGee!!

If you're into the big bourbon-barrel brews, a few stores around town got Bell's Black Note in bottles this week. Recommend seeking out if you have a good relationship with your local bottle shop.
Definitely liked the Bell's Smitten. If you're in the mood for rye and want something lighter. Otherwise, can't go wrong with Founder's Red's Rye. Unfortunately, the bottles will soon because a yearly seasonal but there will be draft year-round.
