Touring the Abita brewery on Saturday, hopefully there will be lots of free samples.

Spider-Fan · 05-16-2018, 08:58 PM

I like Arrogant Bastard from Stone

Let me know what’s good!

Founders is releasing Curmudgeon's Better Half in August as part of their Barrel Aged Series. This is definitely one that you don't want to miss.

Well it is a really nice brewery state of the art everything. They give you 4 coins at the start of the tour that are good for one free 4 ounce sampler each, since my wife doesn't drink I had 8 to use plus 2 extras I got for answering questions during the tour. I only used 8 of them as I gave 2 to my wife for her crafts swap thing. I tried turbo dog too much coffee flavor but not bad, I tried hop on it which is an IPA but much too bitter for my taste, tried the pineapple forgot the name of it but that was good, I had had andygator before but had 2 of those as they are a bit more abv, I think 9.2 and the last 2 coins I used for strawberry. I had a nice little buzz after the tour but that was okay. Abita is coming out with a watermelon lime ale on June 1st so I am waiting on that one, all in all it was a fun day.

Nice!!! I may go sometime in the summer. My in laws camp at Yogi Bear a lot and I may try to make a trip when we visit. I loaded up on the Strawberry Harvest as people have told me it’s just a seasonal deal. I don’t know if you heard of Covington brewery but they also make a strawberry brew also and a couple others

For the price and time of year, nothing beats a Sam Adams Octoberfest. We get a few cases every year and cry a bit once it is out of stock and they start promoting the Winter brews.

Tripel Karmeliet. Blonde beeing brewed since 1679 in Belgium , won multiple awards. First one might not got down smooth like your 4% stuff down south.

spuds1961 · 05-23-2018, 04:58 PM

Just tried a blue moon mango wheat it is awesome with an abv of 5.4 I would definitely recommend.

Most southerners are whiskey drinkers so I don't think they would have a problem with a high octane beer.

My beer of choice before the Capitals game tonight.

You can never go wrong with Two Hearted. I stopped by Bell's General Store today and picked up a growler of Double Two Hearted. I'm saving it to share with friends at my Sunday BBQ.

I also picked up a mix six from Bell's as well. They are selling leftover bottles of Black Note from last year so I got one of those. They are also selling their Expedition Stout that was bottled in November 2015. If you have never had aged Expedition, I recommend buying some bottle every year and hide them away in your cellar. Aged Expedition is absolutely wonderful.

Ever since I moved down south I have become big fan of Jai Alai

OK, just rub it in some more that you can get great beers from Bell's a little why don't you... and thanks for the info on Expedition

I put a big dent in a 30 pack of Busch Light over the weekend while in the mountains of West Virginia.

and now that I'm back in civilization I've started on this 12 pack from Firestone Walker. I haven't had the EX-1 Pale yet.

A trip to Bell's is a rare treat for me. I live 1.5 hours away so I can't just go there any time. However, I do work just 10 minutes from Founders.

I would highly recommend the west side of Michigan for anyone considering a beercation. The beercation market around Grand Rapids continues to get bigger year after year. There are a lot of great established breweries in the area along with a lot of great young breweries getting their feet wet. There's plenty else to do in the west side of Michigan as well.
