Anybody have Rhinegeist out of Cincy? It was just named one of the best new breweries in the world by ratebeer, curious about them.

I have. They are great but I like MadTree a little bit more.

I had some last night. They just started canning their beers and hit the shelves this past week. I had Truth last night, a great IPA, and I'll be having more tonight. I have yet to make it to the brewery, but I heard it's pretty cool. I believe they have only been open since June or so.

I will say, their space is better than MadTree's. It is really awesome.

Yesterday I got a pleasant suprise going through my local Sam's club. The were just stocking mixed 12 STONE packs. Included were 4 each IPA Levitation Ruination andOak Arrogant all for the LOW LOW price of 17.97!

I immediately put one in my cart right off of the skid and the beer distributor salesman asked "Stone fan huh?. I laughed and showed him my Stone brewery belt buckle. He said " I guess so.. Hey I have something you'll really like, I'll be back in a minute" He came back with a T shirt and a hat.

He then asked me for a business card and I gave him one and asked me if I knew Dave at the Local brew pub. I said sure, I'm a regular. He told me to talk to him today and he'd leave me a present. I just left there with a bombers of Smoked porter w/ vanilla bean, A double Bastard, a stone suede imperial porter, (i guess this is some kind of colaboration. never heard of it) and a Matt's burning rosids? It says its a Imperial saison. All Are marked NOT FOR SALE Vendor samples.

I don't know if it's Christmas late, or I just hit the lottery. but none the less, I'm getting drubjed tonite and taking off tomorrow in anticipation of the great white death
