I dunno, I've tried several pumpkin beers, and they just don't do it for me. YMMV, of course.

I don't know about fruit infusions, but Sculpin is one of my favorite IPAs. In the top 5 for sure. I don't buy it often in stores because of it's ridiculous price. Double that of comparable beers.

That makes sense. Apparently, I was a little sleep deprived.

Big Rock Brewery's Rhine Stony Cowboy, a Kolsch style ale that's a stand out from this Alberta brewer. ^

Had an 'As Follows' Belgian Strong Ale at dinner last night. Very solid flavor overall, a little on the lighter side when it comes to body for a 9% ABV beer.

They do have some people who don't enjoy good beer.

Alxendar beer - the best

If you are in Israel make sure to check out Alexander beer. It is wicked.

I adore Maine Beer Co. Their Lunch IPA is my favorite beer. It's Peeper's more assertive cousin. As my bartender once said, why have Peeper when you can have Lunch?

Their King Titus porter is great too - hoppy and hearty.

I am excited for you.

About a week ago I was enjoying Pliny the Elder on tap. So glorious.

of additional note for FT - it was after an idb (the first for me). Fortunately was able to catch a flight a few gates down that was boarding simultaneously. Still got the cash compensation
