I want to try that, but the $30+ price tag for a bottle is bit extreme for me.Wooball;1224051 wrote:The DuClaw Colossus(21% abv) is something you've got to try at least once.

This is a good brew - and a GOAT name. I might pick up Golden Monkey, Victory has some great beers.Wooball;1224051 wrote: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.

I'd suggest going in with 2 or 3 people. It's a bomber and i can't imagine drinking the entire bottle, unless you want to pass out.Commander of Awesome;1224054 wrote:I want to try that, but the $30+ price tag for a bottle is bit extreme for me.

I don't have access to Oskas Blues so that's what I would get. Read a lot of good things about Dales, Ten Fidy and Old Chub.Raw Dawgin' it;1224020 wrote:I haven't had a quality beer in a while. Here's the list of brews at my local beer store, what are some you'd recommend i pick up for the weekend?

Delirium Tremens
Anything Dogfish Head
Heavy Seas Siren Noire
Maui Coconut Porter (This shit is delicious, get it if they actually have it)
Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale
Rochefort
St. Bernardus ABT 12
Just a few of the ones I like. If they actually have all the ones on that page you've got a lot of great beers to choose from.

Had the Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster for the first time a couple days ago.
Solid. 9.1% never fails. A bit bitter; had the taste still in my mouth until I ate something about 20 minutes later, but would drink again.

Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale is one of the best beers being canned right now and there's a lot of good beers going that route.Commander of Awesome;1224152 wrote:$18 for a can 6er?! I can almost get Oaked Aged Arrogant Bastard for that.

No issue with canned beer, as its better for the enviroment. However canning is cheaper than bottling and thus prices should follow. This doesn't seem to the case though. I still prefer a bottle. Dales also isn't $18 for a 6er, can be had for much cheaper.

If I'm going to drink from a container I prefer a can, but I rarely don't drink out of one of my glasses.BORIStheCrusher;1224163 wrote:I love cans, wish more breweries would get on it.

Not to mention it saves the beer from being hit with the evil skunking force of UV light.Commander of Awesome;1224164 wrote:No issue with canned beer, as its better for the enviroment.

Possibly. Probably prefer August 1st so we can get our "glass of the month".OneBuckeye;1224354 wrote:I am coming back to Ohio for work in a couple of weeks. Anyone interested in a NE Ohio OC gathering at the Canton Winking Lizard July 31-July 2nd?

I won't be there.
Had a Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere last night. Pretty good, interesting to try a beer with New Zeland hops.

Opened the Granite City Bock growler last night while watching the USA game. I remember liking it a lot a few years ago but now know my palate has really changed over time. I could barely finish one glass; it was just not good. I remember them telling me they won some award for their Bock, but I don't know how. Between this, their Pale ale and the Pilsner I had at the bar their beers are pretty bad.

Has anyone in NE Ohio been to the Lockview in Akron? Seems like that would be a great place for a gathering, selection-wise. I'm going to get an official estimate on the number of beers available, but it might be damn-near 100+, and they're almost all the good stuff.

As an aside, they also are the place to go for gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.
