That was one of four assorted bottles I grabbed as I left Somerset in December. I recall enjoying it. I'd love to try it from the tap. Of the 4, the only one left is a Morrissey Fox Blonde Ale. Perhaps I'll enjoy it with the game tonight.

I like almost all of Abita's offerings (the Pecan Ale being the exception) but, of course, as an LSU alum, they have the extra bonus of bringing back lots of happy memories from my years in Baton Rouge whenever I see them in a bar or supermarket around the country (which is increasingly happening!)

I had a Blue Moon at the Sheraton in Tarrytown last summer. Don't think I could make a habit of it, but nice during hot weather. Fat Tire is one of my favorites as well.

Tried a New Belgium 2 Below last week, which was nice. But, I have to say that the Avery Cask-Conditioned IPA I had yesterday is probably one of the best brews I've ever tasted.

Yeah, the beer nerdiness continues... ;)

Oh, don't make me choose......I would have to say a two-way tie between Stella and Kokanee Gold.

Mmmmmm.........

I managed to get to Avery for a tour and tasting in December, if you're ever near Boulder, CO, stop by the tap room at least. They are open every day but Monday.

I haven't made it to New Belgium yet, but they are a little further north, in Ft. Collins, CO, and also have a tap room and tours.

And just to round things out, here are some other breweries with tap rooms, tours, and/or tastings in the Denver area (Ft. Collins Brewery is the only one where I haven't tried some of their offerings. Coors is about what you'd expect, the rest all have beers that I would seek out again).

Great Divide - Denver
Left Hand Brewing - Longmont
Boulder Beer - Boulder
Odell Brewing - Ft. Collins
Ft. Collins Brewery - Ft. Collins
Coors - Golden

I enjoy any kind of good micro brew. Life is too short to drink cheap beer. My favorite hands down....Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. It has 9% alcohol, and an over-the-top hoppy taste. Best uber IPA in my book. Very pricey, but give it a try if you see it at your local beer distributor.

That sounds kinda dangerous. I like the fact that the beer in my house runs out, and I don't always get to the store to get more right away. Sounds like you have a never-ending supply.

Based on your enjoyment of Fat Tire, which I also love, I brought home a six of Blue Moon this evening. Quite nice. Thank you.
