Waiting for the Wife to get back from visiting her folks in Germany with some good German brew.
  1. Deep Ellum Brewing Company IPA
  2. Bottle of Chimay
  3. Kirkland Signature Craft Beer (aka Costco)
  4. Due South Cat 3 IPA
  5. Due South Caramel Cream Ale

A six pack of Red Brick Hoplanta IPA and a six pack of Fat Tire. Two bottles of Grayton 30A Beach Blonde. The last bottle from an Innis & Gunn variety 4 pack.

I meant to add a sixpack of Coors Original Banquet. It was the East Coast Holy Grail back when I was in college and I once drove two thousand miles round trip to fill my buddy's trunk with about a dozen cases. I drink it about every 5 years to remember times passed.

How's the Red Brick Hoplanta?

Coors Original Banquet? Wow...

I had to buy a second six of the Red Brick. My son-in-law drank the whole first one before I could try it. In fairness, I bought it to keep him out of my beer closet, but I was hoping to get at least a can.

Yeah, original Coors. It might be headed for extinction. Coors Light is so incredibly banal, I can't believe how many people drink the stuff. Original Coors has at least some flavor, however subtle. It's funny but when I lived out there (Denver) in the mid 70's, most locals would drink anything but Coors. Olympia seemed most popular among my friends and coworkers.

We were in an East Tennessee British pub a few years back and the Coors Light tap was labeled "Irish Piss".

LOL!

Olympia?

I love the tap label!

I got into a can of the Hoplanta last night and liked it. Very hoppy. Golden color, short head. Bitter without much citrus flavor. I'd be curious to know what hops were used. I'll be buying this one again.

Perhaps I should give you my FedEx account number to send some to me?

Inventory is dwindling across the Front Range. I am now in hoarding mode.

Beer guy said this seasonal release (Elevation Montanya) should be soon. Can't wait.

A fine choice - Troegs makes very good beer, and Nugget Nectar is one of my favorites from them.

I managed to buy beer in SBA after security check (who knew?), so I ended up bringing a large bottle of Hoppy Poppy IPA back on the plane without needing to check a back. Very drinkable IPA - I would say it is a 'laid-back' beer, very much in spirit with this part of California's Pacific Coast ^

Troegs isn't too far from us, and we enjoy a lot of their beers.

I second this sentiment.
