Perhaps but there was plenty more to try, so you might have been distracted.

There were about a dozen other beers there too. By rough count we had about 180 bottles, and only 7-8 beer drinkers in attendance.

So the fact that there were < 80 bottles left the next day wasn't bad.

Saison's are all the rage out here these days. From a taste / character perspective they vary wildly. Some I don't like at all.

Ovila Abbey Saison from Sierra Nevada is really tasty. Not sure how hard it is to find. I got mine at the Brewery in Chico. Very worthwhile visit if you're in the area.

Currently Rolling Rock is my favorite. For splurging it's Blue Moon orange flavored lager.

Not beer! But anyone here ever had a bottle of this stuff?

Durham Gin

There are three ingredients to our Gin.

Firstly, and most importantly there are the botanicals – a mix of herbs and spices which give the unique flavour to our Gin. The exact recipe is a secret, but we use 10 seperate botanicals, including some traditional flavours like Juniper as well as some unusual ones like pink peppercorns. We work with the Botanical Gardens at Durham University who advise us, but we source them from around the world – our Juniper for example is grown in Italy. We have a long term ambition to start growing our own Durham strain of Juniper in a secret location in the Durham Dales.

Secondly there is spring water, which we get from a natural spring near Durham City.

The third and final ingredient is, of course, alcohol. We use pure grain spirit to make our Gin. Our Gin is 40% alcohol, which means that you should always drink it in a sensible and moderate manner. Drinking too much is bad for you, so drink less, but drink the good stuff.

I held off on posting to this thread, as I have very strong opinions on beer. I used to brew quite a bit of beer myself back in the late '70's when I was working in a muslim country and it was not available. I was told by all my friends that I was very good at making beer. (But then, they wanted my beer too). Any plug out there can make ale. Even a passable ale as it's so easy to make. Wide temperature variations during fermenting don't bother an ale wort much. Brewing a good lager is a work of art, in my opinion, and much more difficult. And the Germans, with their Reinheitsbebot (purity law, look it up), have it down like nowhere else. Worked at the airport in Leipzig for the last 7 yrs. prior to my retirement last year and if you like really good lager and are ever in that area, here's a few that are some of the very best, in my opinion again:

My most recent favorite. It's a double IPA and is siiiiiillllky smooth. Fantastic stuff. Only available in Vermont unfortunately and is usually sold out within a few hours of delivery.

I used to see Sean & Erin every now and then. His "day job" is a trust & estate lawyer, and one of his other hobbies was fitness & weight training. Last I heard, he and a couple of his friends from that world were planning to open some kind of a cross-training gym so I suspect that endeavor has expanded to occupy all available spare time, plus a little. (As those things tend to do.) As far as I know they are both still doing fine.

My fave is...
Miller Hi Life

(ok that's in general, if at a restaurant with microbrew I like a dark yeasty ale)

Petrus Rocks · « **Reply #868 on:** February 16, 2016, 01:42:16 PM »

Drinking a Double or Nothing maple barley wine right now. A Vermont collaboration between Lawson Brewery and Otter Creek, limited release.
My faves( I have no single ones) are Belgian styles, Imperial stouts, and Doppelbocks. I live in the land of Genesee Beer, another significant Northeast local brewery. They have recently started pilot brewery releases. Acceptable Scotch ale, nice Doppelbock.
Hope they continue.

Hard Aspie, there's a microbrewery in Cottonwood. You might try a sampler there, some nice beers.

HardAspie · « **Reply #869 on:** February 16, 2016, 02:03:39 PM »

Thank you! When I have procured transportation I shall. (with a suitable walk around between beer and bike of course)
