I'll be cheering for the team whose QB is not good friends with Trump.

I find Nectar to be better fresh on draft... don't like it at all out of a can.

This is true.  The pitcher(s) we had at the Smithereens show were much better than the canned version.

High Westified is drink-worthy, and I'd love to try to Willett. The other tthree listed I've had and wouldn't bother getting again.

I stumbled upon a  750 of Rodenbach Caractère Rouge and had to have it, even though it was entirely too much money on it.  Made the second Alexander I bought seem like a steal.

those typically run for about $30, whole foods foggy bottom had some for what seemed like forever (actually they might still have some, haven't checked recently).  hopefully you didn't pay more than that...

I saw it listed for 16 euros at a beer store in Italy I'll be at later this year. Might have to bring a couple of those babies home!

Though truth be told, I think I like the Vintage and Grand Cru better (Rouge might be too sweet (?)). Haven't cracked an Alexander yet.

I never saw them at the P Street Whole Foods.  I picked mine up when I was in CA.  $28.00 before tax, which definitely feels steep.

If you're still talking about Caractere Rouge, there's some at a couple of the TW's in VA for $30. There's also some at my local Whole Foods for about the same.

I managed to get a couple of 32 oz growler fills of it for about $17 each a while ago.

Make your picks now!

IPA Bracket
Imperial IPA Bracket

I snickered when I saw Port City's IPA (49th percentile overall and 30th percentile for style in ratebeer) listed first. Then I snickered some more when I saw Rebel IPA included. Who made this thing up, Hutch?  :D
