Iron City? WTF. I love mango, but not sure about it in beer unless it is a hoppy IPA.

Yes Iron City. I'll get a picture next time I am at that store.

Wife was in a car accident tonight, so the night was pretty hectic, but prior to that, I had a Rogue Dad's Little Helper Black IPA. It went well with steak.

For some reason I've yet to try Palate Wrecker. I love Green Flash but I just always pass it over at the store. I see it mentioned a lot in the thread so I'm sure it's good.

Felt like shit the past week so I've hardly drank any beer. Pretty much the worst part about being sick.

Stopped in Granite City and filled up my two growlers; got their pale ale and their bock. I don't drink too many Bocks, but theirs is pretty good, easily their best beer. Pale Ale isn't bad, kind of like a poor mans version of Smuttynose Shoals. I had their Lager while waiting for my food and was pretty bland.

First some wine tonight. Then the same as last night. White Ragah followed by Palate Wrecker. Sucks being predictable. But I'll drink them until they are gone, which will be tonight.

Enjoying a nice Hop Head Red IPA from Green Flash. Its the last of the main GF brews that I haven't tried. It doesn't disappoint. GF is just quaility. Anyone have this before?

Trying to finish off the Granite City Pale Ale growler from last night (guessing there's about 20oz left). It's not very good though so I doubt I drink any more. I can't tell if it's because it's lost it's carbonation and tasting flat or is just not a good beer, I think a bit of both.

No. I want some, but can't find it here locally.

I think I might have. Even mentioned it to The Wife and she believes we have. I decided to check old posts on this thread. I started at page 1. It was nice re-reading some of those pages. I only got to page 19, but I will go back and read it all. Nice to see how others have become more knowledgeable and drinking more craft beer. Wish some of them posting on this thread a year ago were still posting. We even got a comment or two from Society, not anything important like most of his posts.

Tonight it was a couple of White Rajah's. Now I'm finishing a JP Fuego del Otono. Great beer. Like Boris posted back in the early pages, typical JP sour with some nice spices. Might be moving on to a JP Madrugada Obscura next, and a cigar. And yes I had to look at the bottles while typing their names.

Pretty open to anything - not a huge ipa fan. I like dogfish 60 min because it doesn't have that hoppy bitter taste. Not a big fan of pale ales either. Lagers, ambers, stouts, porters, pilsners, hefeweizens etc. Pretty much everything as long as it tastes good ha.

Nice list. The Baltimore/DC area is great for beer. A friend lives in Columbia, MD and I've been to Clipper City(Heavy Seas), DuClaw and Pub Dog. The DuClaw Colossus(21% abv) is something you've got to try at least once. For 21% abv it is pretty drinkable, but a little too sweet for my tastes. Pumped to head back for the Browns v Ravens game in September, think we are heading over to Delaware to Dogfish Head.

tough to make a suggestion, but there are plenty of quality breweries listed. Some personal favorites there are Porterhouse Oyster Stout, Oskar Blues Old Chub(great beer in a can), Troegs Mad Elf and Troegenator, Victory Golden Monkey and Storm King. Pretty much anything from DFH, Great Divide, Stone and Southern Tier.
