Juan and John like the same beer the best, that's freakin rad! I just happened to try it at a restaurant in Orlando about 3 weeks ago. Juan when did you first try Leffe?

2-3 weeks back on that pub on the pic @ Bruges... that was the first of loads of Leffe .. Delicious

Well my fellow beer gnerdz, I believe when asdf made that comment in '06 Torpedo wasn't being produced. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is an APA, not an IPA. The Torpedo came out in '09 and is an actual IPA.

Put that in yer pipe and smoke it.

lol that is why i gave him a wink

Six Point Resin, such an aptly named beer- a rich piney resinous IPA, so good.

yup they nailed the name on that one!

Part of me is almost thankful I no longer live in San Diego, they have 65 microbreweries alone in that county and the amount of options at local restaurants there is staggering and nearly impossible NOT to partake regularly. Orlando is slowly getting its act together with craft micro brews, but nowhere near the scale in SD...

It's funny to think that in 20 years or perhaps more 10 years, this thread will be about strands of weed .

Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf - It's getting hard to distinguish three floyds IIPAs apart from each other, this could have easily been Dreadnaught and I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart, or maybe I just don't drink enough Three Floyds as it's not readily available in my area, have to pick it up on work travel.

The restaurant down the street from me got a keg of this last week. First time I've had it. Pretty good stuff.

^Hey Rezz, you live in Indiana right? Who knew Indiana was so strict on all alcohol sales! Seattle must have been a nice change eh?

Re: i p a - a BEER thread!! (aka sasha's favorite beer)

Yes. It is totally stupid. But there are goods/bads it seems in every place I've lived.

Seattle:

Cold beer in the grocery.
No liquor available anywhere except for a few state run liquor stores (this just changed after years of battling right before I moved).
Bars only open until 2am.
Can buy booze on Sundays.

Indiana:

Warm beer and liquor in the grocery.
Liquor stores have beer/hard liquor in the same place.
Bars open until 3am every day. (Used to close at midnight on Sundays, but this got changed just before the Super Bowl was here).
No booze sales on Sundays, but the bars are open like normal and you can drink as much as you want (wtf), and can get growlers as carry out from craft brewers.

That's f*cking interesting, are you serious? Liquor wasn't allowed in seattle? What's a state run liquor store? I don't drink liquor, but wow.

this stuff is Really Good, but I have only been able to find it ONE time and I live in the same area where its brewed!!

This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained

^Try reposting Chuck, can't view that.

Regarding the Indian Pale Ale, try calling Total Wine in Clearwater, says limited inventory can to call first. I'm going to look for it here at the Orlando location.
