ITT, Squiddy reviews beer.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

AWESOME!

[Dimocritus]

Bleggh. My stupid bass player picked up a rack of something called "Beer 30." That stuff makes natty's and PBR look like craft beer...

[Rumckle]

Lol, I think I tried that in Toronto, it was terrible.

If you did, it was.

I am headed to Montreal soon for a few days. Do the Canads know how to brew?

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

the folks at Unibroue do

[Rumckle]

Try Propeller, it's a Nova Scotian brewery. Unfortunately I've only tried their Extra Special Bitter, but that stuff was really good, nice, bitter and clean.

Yesterday after our hike, EOT and I stopped at the beer store. This one was DELICIOUS!

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

YES!
I've had that on tap at the pub I go to.
It is indeed fantastic.
I like maibocks.

[E.O.T.]

THERE'S

          a special buzz to Bock beers.

YOUR

          local pub rocks!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I am envy you of your local pub.

Because I think mine has two beers on tap. Both good, both nondescript.

The pub NEXT to it has a huge array of fanfuckingtastic beers, but the ambiance is somewhat offputting and the hours are terrible.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

awe   i hate it when a place has great stuff but the atmosphere and/or crowd sucks.

this place is called Redlight Redlight.
I love it. The owner used to be mr squid's neighbor, he's pretty nice. and all the rest of the staff is pretty cool.
They have like 20 taps? i wanna say?
and a shit ton of bottles.
If you want it, they probably have it and they change the taps quite often so every week there's something new.

I hope you don't mind me posting our latest beer adventures in your thread. Here's another one from the aforementioned beer purveyor:




A perfectly decent beer, but after the Primator, it was kind of disappointing.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

have you tried any http://www.mendobrew.com/brews/red_tail.html 

If you know a way that we can send some thru the post, I'll send you up a tail, eye of the hawk and a blue herron.

But every beer I've ever sent anywhere has either:

1. not made it
2. made it in little tiny shards
3. ????

I'm pretty sure I've seen those around here... I'll doublecheck next time I'm at the store! Mailing pressurized liquids is definitely a sketchy proposition. I'd say teh best way is probably to wrap each bottle in a couple of layers of bubblewrap, tape them all together tightly, and then put them in a small styrofoam cooler inside a box. Make sure that nothing moves when you shake it, and I'd say odds are good of it arriving whole.

I've had the red tail ale and one other from Mendocino.
It wasn't too bad but wasn't my fav.

Nigel, I think I saw that beer at the Russian import store. Didn't try it though.
