I'm not sorry. I gave one away and drank the other 5. I'd be willing to look for any beer you recommend the next time I'm in there. I'm down to just a couple miscellaneous cans and bottles in the fridge.

I had a Brut IPA for the first time on Friday (brewed by Rock Bottom Brewery Centennial). Probably the only IPA I could truly see myself drinking regularly.

Bluebird Bitter from Coniston Brewing Co. Bought as a single bottle and drunk slowly for maximum enjoyment.

Brut IPAs seem to be the latest beer fad.

I love IPA, but haven't had one of these I like. I guess I enjoy the resiny bittersweetness of traditional IPA.

A bottle of Ultra organic given to me by a "friend". Blech.

Saint Dekkara Flanders Oud Bruin - a sour Belgian style ale aged in oak barrels. Brewed by Destihl. Batch year 2013. Like drinking a sour liquor. Interesting but not worth repeating.

We have an arrangement. Unfortunately he lives in a home with 2 beer drinkers. And his fiancées taste runs to the light side. I buy beer for myself only. If he enjoys what I share, fine. Same with him. But I’ll probably start declining some. I know what an Ultra is going to be, organic or not.

LOL, good call on declining some.

Different strokes for different folks. The plant manager gave me 3 beers a couple weeks ago. Friday he asked me how I liked them. I told him I thoroughly enjoyed the gose and IPA but didn’t care much for the blonde ale. His take was that the blonde ale was his favorite. Fair enough. Lots of folks drink a beer to cool down after yard work and are looking for something light and watery. I don’t do yard work.

LOL, I don't disagree. On some summer days, I appreciate a nice pilsner more than I would enjoy a stout. In the winter, some days, I really enjoy a nice stout.

24-pack Stella Artois - 0 bottles
12-pack O'Dell 90 Schilling - 0 bottles
12-pack Breckenridge Brewery Christmas Ale - 5 bottles (three by me)
Somehow I still have about 14 bottles of Stone IPA sitting around. I drank three yesterday, which I found about as enjoyable as watching the game.
