I have tried all thoes and the Unoin Jack is my favorite. I actually have all but the white hawk in my frige right now. Last weekend I went down the the Firestone Walker Brewery and did a tour. Really impressive, and they have some beers there for tasting that you cannot currently buy.

They also have just released a new beer called 805 its a blonde ale and they will not sell it anywhere except in the 805 area code. It was very good for a lighter beer.

They have a new restaurant that just opened across the street from the brewery, it was very good as well. Just really had a great time.

I picked up some Shorts Nicie Spicie and Kolsch 45 this weekend. I liked both of them, especially in the hot weather we had here. Good summer beers.

I used to think only drinking Budweiser was cool...now I drink for taste/quality not quantity and my how things have changed....

- 3 Floyds - everything I've had from them is top notch...but Alpha King and Gumball Head are my favorites, Dark Lord is their best but its only available 1 day a year in a Willy Wonka like Golden Ticket deal and you have to buy it at their brewery in Munster, IN

- Breckenridge Brewing - Avalanche Ale is good, but Vanilla Porter is one of my favorites for any craft beer....its best on tap, it loses a lot of its vanilla finish when consumed from the bottle.

- Rogue - Dead Guy Ale and Hazelnut Porter are both awesome, but everyone needs to try the VooDoo Bacon Maple Ale...its expensive ($13/bottle off their website) but its delicious and quite an experience. It's extremely sweet but the salty smoky hints from the bacon flavor cleanse the sweetness off the palate, then you realize you're drinking a beer which really throws you through a loop. I highly recommend it, just to tell people you've had Bacon Maple beer!

Just leaving Bend, I can't remember the last time I've drank so much beer over the course of 3 days haha. By far, my favorite brewery was boneyard, loved their imperial ipa.

Great Divide...great memories! Was there last year and told them I was a home brewer. Tey gave me and a couple of buddies the full inside tour. Very knowledgeable.

Of you like samplers, hit up Avery sometime. Their beers run the gamut.

We went to strange brewery and renegade brewery as well, renegade had some fantastic stuff but they need a reality check on the growler prices.

We'll have to check out Avery next visit, headed back to new Mexico and marble brewery, then back home to AZ.

Also, anyone in the Denver area, check out Green Russell in downtown Denver, great speakeasy style bar with fantastic drinks. One of my favorite bars I've ever been to.

If you are in that area, you have to check out Oskar Blues (Longmont), Avery (Boulder), Odell (Ft Collins), and New Belgium (also in Ft Collins). I think all four are better than Left Hand (and I like Left Hand). Great area for craft beer.

I got my first order from Letspour.com and I'm very pleased. Order came pretty quick and the beer was still fairly cool. If any of you guys are interested in signing up let me know, we both get a $10 off your next order coupon just send me your email address.

Site looks pretty cool. A few things I can't find in the store anymore which is nice. I do like the selection of stouts though. Good find, thanks for sharing!

I skipped over the Saison du Buff's. They did sound fun though if you could get a vertical going of the each variation.

I just picked up a few new things the other week:

Bruery White Oak bourbon wheatwine
Coney Island Bourbon Barrel Human Blockhead
Clown Shoes Flight of the Pimp
Clown Shoes Angry Beast
Abita Satsuma Wit
Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oat Stout
Red Brick 17th- Bourbon Barrel Double Brown Ale
Green Flash Linchpin White IPA
Terrapin 12' Reunion
Terrapin Samurai Krunkles

Probably a few others I forgot, but I think thats most.

Picked some old favorites like Stones' RIS and whatnot to enjoy later and add to the cellar.

The best of the bunch, so happened to be my local Red Brick 17th. It's a delicious brown ale, that acts like a blank canvas for the aging on the oak bourbon barrels. It's so balanced, I'm just blown away. Easy drinker at 8.5% too!

I finally made it to Founders Brewery this past weekend and it was as good as advertised. They were already one of my favorite breweries based on their bottled beers alone and with the pub only offerings it put them over the top. They had quite a few pub only beers with my favorite being the Brewers Guild Ipa. If the beer wasn't enough the food there was really good too. I highly recommend a visit there if your ever near the Grand Rapids area.

I like Founders stuff too.. Most of it anyways. I think I'm going to be up that way for work travel soon enough, might try to stop in for a beer or 5.
