    I thought it was Oregon, but it turns out to be in the San Diego area. It's made by Stone Brewing.

      Glad micro-breweries are making a huge boom now. Big companies are trying to branch out from their typical formulas to create new things. But hop heads really know what's good

      Before my marathon this year I actually went to the Sam Adams brewery in Boston. Kind of a dangerous location hahaha. Met the president of Sammy! And was able to sample some of their new products in their barrel room too. Walked away with a shirt hat and new glassware. If anyone is ever in the Boston area, you must visit. IT'S FREE, and you get to drink for free.

        If any of you guys have the time… Pick up yards brewing: ales of the revolution. a company decided to recreate what ben franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington's home brews. I was enjoying this during the Super Bowl black out.

            Shiner is good stuff.  I prefer their Bohemian black, though.

                I like Shiner Bock too… Chris, you're in Texas, right?

                    Shiner is pretty great but there are plenty of other incredible Texas beers that are worth checking out as well!

                      True, the craft brew scene is really growing right now.  It's hard to keep track of all the new breweries, but it's enjoyable to try.

                        I generally go for craft beer too, always love trying out something new.

                        I'm in the Atlanta area and there's a decent craft beer scene going here. My local growler shop has a ton of local varieties and a few knockout world class beers at any given time.

                        Recently sampled a local beer - Red Brick Brewing Co. The Lost Years, a beer that's aged for 3 months in Jim Beam barrels. Only had a taste but it was a very interesting beer.

                          I took a tour of the Deschutes brewery a few months ago.  They are in Bend OR.  Such tasty beer and great people.  If you haven't tried it, give it a go.

                          Craft beer is mostly what we drink here in UT.  The quirky laws pretty much steer you that way.  I'm partial to Utah beer, but a newer brewery that is out of this world good is Epic.  They only make small batches and in 22oz bottles.

                            Have you toured Saint Arnold's?  Are there any in or around Houston that you recommend?  Karbach's Weisse Versa is pretty good summer beer, I might have to check them out someday.

                              Coincidentally enough, my next door neighbor is the retail sales director for St. Arnold's. 🙂  However, I haven't toured the brewery in it's new location.  The original brewery was in a light industrial strip center and, frankly, was pretty bleak.  I haven't toured any of the other local ones.

                              Karbach is pretty good stuff.  No Label Brewery out in Katy is also worthwhile, as is Southern Star Brewery in Conroe.  Lots of good brewers in the Austin and the DFW areas, too.

                                I'll probably try to go next year around November-December. That way I might actually get my hands on some Pumpkinator that everyone raves about.

                                If you're ever in Austin, I'd highly recommend 512 brewery.  The whiskey barrel aged double pecan porter is magical.  My go-to beer in Austin though is Live Oak Hefe, it's definitely worth checking out if you get a chance.

                                Southern Star puts out some good beers as does Deep Ellum brewing in DFW.

                                  Pumpkinator is good.  My neighbor gave me a bottle of it a while back.

                                  I'll have to keep those in mind the next time I'm in Austin.  The double pecan porter sounds like something I'd enjoy.

                                    No pics, but I went to Brew Dog in Nottingham last night and drank a craft beer called Tokyo, which was 18.9%….. feel pretty shit this morning.

                                      18.9%?!?!  Does that still even qualify as beer?  Was it any good?

                                        It looked like a regular dark beer, but tasted like mulled wine. Reminded me of being a student, when a couple of pints of cheap red wine was how we started an evening.
