James Page!
 

Was on DTW-DCA yesterday evening. Asked for the Augsburger (sp?). F/A looks on the cart, then says looks like they've loaded something else. It was a JP!

Couldn't tell if it was new stock or old... Very old. But tasted fine.

What does the inflight magazine say about beer choices now?

Magazine had Augsberger.

They've had JP when people next to me wanted Ausberger and vice-versa. Seems they've got a stockpile somewhere and whatever catering grabs is what they get.

Funny the little things we elites get happy about...

It seems like I only get flights now with James Page. I haven't tasted an Augsberger in a long, long time.

I personally likes when they had the Aug's seasonals and rotated them through. Sorta nice to look forward to the next one being rotated in.

I have been lucky and not have to had tasted a James Page in a long time. I do miss FireBrick... that was good.

Just had a JP on my flight home from MCI this afternoon, was glad to see it back!!!

Had one can of JP LGA-MSP a few days ago. Then they switched me to Augsberger.

Yeah, I was glad to see JP back too. I think NW can afford it now that they've scaled back to a simpler, cheaper, non-sensical, uglier three-color paint scheme on their aluminum skins. :D

The Schell's Firebrick Amber Lager is back (it's even listed in the NWA WorldTraveler magazine -- so I assume it's somewhat permanent). Anyone else try one yet? I rank it above the Augsburger Golden, but I still miss the James Page.

Hurray!^

Wow. The way you guys flip over beer, one might expect NWA to equip their planes with a frosty mug fridge.

:D

I'm beginning to think it's the only reason to put up with the EUA any more. ;)

Nice, looking forward to trying that one.

However, I don't think James Page is completely gone. Just in the last month, I felt like a JP and asked for one on a SEA-DTW Sunday night redeye and the FA had no problem finding one. :confused:

Every time I ask for beer choices, at least in the last few months that I can recall, the options are Lite, Bud, and James Page. I'm open to a new 'microbrew'. This may be sacrelidge to my minnesota brethren, but what's the draw to James Page? Seems a little bland to me. Whenever in MSP, I make an effort to get over to the C WC for the Summit EPA...that is good stuff.
