If all those Wilco sandwiches are leaving you a little thirsty, we might have a solution: Lagunitas Brewing Company's new springtime beer, Wilco Tango Foxtrot. According to the Petaluma, California-based brewery, the imperial brown ale is "rich, smooth, dangerous, and chocolatey."

I was really bummed when they stopped producing the Zappa beers...

I've heard the WTF is very nice.

My friend threw that in the list as a joke....someone will always bring a bottle of swill as a joke. Beer nerds.

The batch 2 Fred (1997) from Hair of the Dog Brewing was amazing stuff. So many amazing beers.....

[Guiness]

lol - I picked off the Bud Light as well. No lime beers though 8-(

Did you try the Left Hand Imperial Stout? Nice. I'm hoping to get my hands on some Great Lakes Blackout.

Oskar Blues makes some great stuff. I was at the Green Frog Cafe when the rep came by - had the Ten Fiddy, Yella Pils, Old Chub and the Gordon Ale (Imperial IPA). All great representatives of the styles. They also 'play' with their recipes, which is great. For instance, they'll do a special release of their Ten-Fidy aged in an oak barrel, or a whisky barrel - they don't stand pat on their recipes.

On the home brewing front, I'm having one of my Graff's (hopped, malty cider) right now, and I just finished a C-Mag IPA - a Chinook-Magnum hopped IPA that I couldn't be happier with.

Visited my brother and his friends, home of the swill, and had a Keystone Light or two after they plowed through the homebrew I brought. Wow, can I not stomach that stuff anymore.

Another fellow brought choke cherry wine (he picks the cherries right off a tree in his yard!) and it was really good! Sharp, cherry/cranberry, and I'll happily have some again.

Had a Kentucky Breakfast Stout a week or so ago. Damned good beer
