Back in the day I was a big fan of Big Rock's Traditional Ale. Big Rock had a fairly good series of beers.

Had some Hopslam the other day. Very hoppy. I'm with George on the Lagunitas.

Can't forget the locals though.

I had a Firestone Walker Parabola last night as a birthday beer. It had been in the cellar for a few years.....it drank very well. Nice barrel aged RIS.

I purchased two beer made in Poland this weekend both 5oo ml bottles 'brown' and nicely packaged;

a) 500 ml Polish est. 1856 at ZYWIEC Brewery, Polond. Called simply ZYWIEC that has been awarded medals and the LOGO Label depicts two people doing 'a Polish dance'.

b) 500 ml brewed at Warka Brewery, Warka , Polond witha GOLD Label with RED writing WARKA 'strong'. That label also depicts a hero of your American Revolution one Kazamierz Pulaski (1754-79). this strong beer is 7 % alcohol so when i did the math and worked out the cost based on a 5% beer. It worked out to 'only' $31.00 'a flat...24 bottles'.

Both of these beers were flavourful..interesting with some kick that surprized me. It's too darn cold here now for beer.

Just as an FYI, quoting yourself is considered bad forum etiquette, unless it's to prove a point you've made that's been previously disputed and now proven correct.

Quoting woodbuck is also considered bad forum etiquette.

Agreed. It's hard enough to read through the first time without a duplicate.

Did I mention that the La Trappe oak aged quad (batch #6) is fucking awesome?

Long time ago, sometime around 1977, I went to Arizona to visit my grandfather. We went shopping for a few things and he threw a six-pack of Coors in the cart. Later that day he and I popped one open and its mild, smooth flavor was an epiphany to one raised on the fizzy sourness of Stroh's and Old Style. I've had Coors since, but it seems watery and ordinary, and it has never been anything like that original goodness.

Are any of you beer guys old enough to know from experience if there was that much difference between the old unpasteurized Coors meant for constant refrigeration and local consumption and the new formula meant for the masses?
