Red Nectar Ale was my favorite back then...not sure if I'd like it now, but back the, I thought it was the schnizzle. Very expensive so I didn't buy it often.Mimbres Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764257754905227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-45262788408894146262010-05-07T05:31:51.944-07:002010-05-07T05:31:51.944-07:00I found myself there a couple of years ago.

I found the panel discussion in the Extras to be even better. It's on Netflix and probably the web. <br /> <br />My definition of Craft Beer being less than whatever Sam Adams makes comes from there. Lots of interesting points made about the control of the <i>Adjunct Beers</i> on the Industry.<br /><br />Highly Recommended.<br /><br />Enjoying a Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye.

My friend, The Judge, doesn't publicize his politics due to his trade, but I'm blowing his cover here; he's crazy liberal, almost as left as I am. The man won't drink anything that isn't to the extreme in hops and bitterness. He will actually pass on a moderate brew and sit dry and grumbling under his breath at the unfairness of life.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-89113230482026760642010-05-06T13:55:38.810-07:002010-05-06T13:55:38.810-07:00APA...I enjoyed a couple of Dale's Pale Ales (...APA...I enjoyed a couple of Dale's Pale Ales (Oskar Blues Brewing in Lyons, CO) while in Silver City last weekend.
