Saw a bald guy with a wife and two young daughters at Aslin Sunday. Thought maybe it was Sidehatch. Oh yeah, the beer was great.

Also hit the Firestone Walker event at Paradiso. Awesome.

Russian River (not even including there pliny hysteria)
Stone
I know all west coast stuff

I'd say Dogfish head, Boulevard and Southern Tier all have honorable mentions in my book
My depth and breath of beers is still somewhat limited compared to the average hophead

That's almost exactly my list, though I'd boot Southern Tier for Deschutes.

in my replacement experiment, to switch over to a beer I can buy from the local food lion or martins, instead of the ole beer shoppe, where I walk out sixty dollars lighter . . . I found that some, if not a good bit of flying dog's line up is better than most other brands.  their, double dog and tropical bitch in bottle, and doggie style on draught, are my favs, so far.

Best beer of the weekend.

I was in Pittsburgh for the weekend and it was freshly on tap basically everywhere.

weyerbacher's sunday morning stout, aka the poor man's KBS, is out.  at $18/four pack, not sure it still gets that moniker... i was planning on picking up more than one pack, but at that price i got a founders imperial stout foursome instead of another SMS.  i'll try one tonight and cellar the rest unless it tastes amazing fresh.

i certainly hope that some age will improve the SMS, because the bottle i had tonight was a mess.  hot alcohols, soapy quality to the coffee, weird lingering astringency on the tongue... i cannot recommend this beer.  if i could i'd get a refund. 

washed it down with a founders imp.  definitely should have bought more of that instead.

I had to drain pour half of an SMS last night, but I think the flu had more to do with it than the beer. Even Sucaba only tasted so-so on Friday. Think I'll have to skip beer for a couple of days.

Its basically the PBR of Texas. Cheap, but not flavorless. I'd actually say closer to Natty Boh.

lol

1st percentile on ratebeer.com

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lone-star/738/

not a microbrew

Truth is, Lone Star is still brewed in Texas. However, it isn't brewed at the famous San Antonio brewery that many remember. In fact, the old brewery hasn't brewed beer since 1996. Now, Miller Brewing in Fort Worth brews Lone Star under contract of Illinois-based Pabst Brewing Company.

Two cases of Trillium IPAs at Cairo Liquor in Dupont, bottles for $20...

My guess is they'll be gone by the time you read this.
