Re: Favorite Beer?
You guys should try Stone "Enjoy By" 4.20 IPA, before it's all gone. My favorite IPA so far.

Re: Favorite Beer?
The Loose Leaf is not bad, especially after working in the yard all, ect. Refreshing with a bit of a lime taste.
Big Eye by Ballast Point is a great IPA.
The Enjoy By was great - I was able to get several plus a bomber on tap at the local whole foods.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I honestly think that Elephant Rock is the most balanced IPA that I've ever had. It's even funnier that I heard the the brewer didn't even want to do an IPA, and he just half-heartedly whipped up a recipe. I'm not 100% sure if that story is true, but it is my favorite beer right now.jblyth wrote:That Crank Yanker is tasty...Dave B wrote:In anticipation of car camping and ice cold cans apres...
I haven't seen the Elephant Rock before, good stuff?

Re: Favorite Beer?
I learned a neat trick in Jasper in the early 70s.
In the big beer hall you only see your waiter about once an hour.
So you order 5 drafts and one bottled stout.
You top off each 10c draft with some stout.
Five really good kicked up beers for one dollar.
I do the same today.
A 30 pac of cheap beer and a 6er of stout.
Same ratio.
Still works for me.

A new one, and pretty good, from the Tallgrass folks. Not to be confused with the member.
Ethos IPA, less than 7 and 110 IBUs.

Re: Favorite Beer?
Loved Elevation's Apis IV. Mighty good. Carver's Hefeweizen pretty decent, too.
From the more widely available list, really been liking Anchor Steam, Ommegang Rare VOS, Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale.

Those beers don't go as far at 12K as they do at 13+...Picked up the stone anniversary ipa today along with a few ruin tens.
That's another way to pack light; drink higher.

Re: Favorite Beer?
do we need a separate thread for "favorite wine"? i find it easier to carry some red wine in a bladder to the top of a summit...plus i'm personally biased since i worked & lived near Napa Valley for 23 years...
