Re: Favorite Beer?
Beer...always a new one. IF you're ever on the east coast, Florida specifically, check out Cigar City Brewing Jai Alai IPA. Good stuff. I happened to have a couple in Tampa as the Lightening score at the last second for the win in game 3 of the Stanley playoffs. AND!!!! Check out this well balanced and intriguing article about the best IPA's in America. #10 happens to be the aforementioned.

With respect to Vonmackle, this just belongs here.
I'm currently enjoying a canned Union Jack. Have you had one yet?

Re: Favorite Beer?
I've had my share of Union Jack and I like it. I've not had it in a can however.
Matt, did you see on this list that Two Hearted Ale comes in cans?

Re: Favorite Beer?
Holy cow, first Golden brewery tour I took was in August 1972 after college graduation. You couldn't get "Banquet" east of Big Springs, NE in those days. Used to load up on cases of Banquet at the former Cherry Creek Shopping Center and trucked them 900 miles to St. Paul.rijaca wrote:or 70s, Coors Banquet. Literally lived right across the street from the brewery for a semester. 'Short' tour almost daily.Wish I lived in CO wrote:Hmmmmmm,
For those of you 40 and something older folks (sounds reminiscent of a recent thread), what was your favorite college age beer (or where ever the heck you were in the 80s or 90s before all the craft beers):
Sounds really pathetic now, but back in the day:
The few individuals I was privileged to reluctantly share Banquet with never heard of the stuff. One wag asked, "COOS?? What is COOS?!!!" One Geo prof who attended CSM in Golden at least knew better. A field trip with him was "Coors beer, Coors beer ..."
In those days it was "brewed with pure Rocky Mountain spring water." Period. Times have really changed ...

Re: Favorite Beer?
As of late I've been enjoying Ballast Brewing:
Both very good - Big Eye is a little more reasonably priced.

Aspens Independence Pass Ale is one of my favorites.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I guess Smokey and the Bandit had something to do with changing that? My first full can of beer was the banquet absconded from the basement where my Dad kept it. "This is pretty damn good" I thought to myself. I proceeded to drink the rest of the 12 pack over the next week or so expecting to get busted by Dad but never did.Mark A Steiner wrote:Holy cow, first Golden brewery tour I took was in August 1972 after college graduation.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I have actually found Two Hearted in Phoenix, about an 1 1/2 from my new home in Prescott. I'll be down there this weekend anyway, think I'll grab a few sixers. But yeh, I really miss a few of the craft breweries in MI. Also I miss the west coast sand dune beaches, the endless forests of the U.P., and of course some friends and family. Prescott is pretty darn awesome though............ -and also even within a long days drive of some 14ers!Brimstone10 wrote:One of the many things I miss about living in Michigan is having Two Hearted at my disposalWish I lived in CO wrote:Guess it's been awhile .....
