Beer in the USA

[Tony L]

Getting my first taste of USA beers available to me at even grocery stores here in Florida.

I might never leave.. at least never leave until my money runs out.

On the way to NY we stopped in Maine and I stepped into a Trader Joes... I was totally blown away by the amount of craft beer they had.

I try to find local offerings that may not make it more than a state ot two away.

Do some tasting and post them Tony, and have fun.

Probably the best city I've been to in the US for craft beers is Denver. I was astonished by the amount of craft breweries, brew pubs, etc that are there.

Have a great time down there, Tony! You sure aren't missing any nice weather back here! We are currently get hit with about 25cms of snow.

Just got back from Fla with an unplanned stay in Newark. Really liked the Blue Moon wheat beer.

Blue Moon "Belgian" White? Prepare for your mind to be blown. Blue Moon Belgian White = Rickard's White.

Nooooo....I've been duped. I'll have to drink more beer to develop a more discriminating palate

It was pretty good, though.

Rickards white is the only macro I enjoy so don't feel too duped

Total Wines in Naples FL is like a Costco with just booze. I couldn't make up my mind of what beer to buy. There was just too much to choose from. They were giving away samples of vodka on your way in. The USA is like another planet when booze is concerned.

It will take me a while to post anything. I only have a few minutes at the computer before I go somewhere.
I thought a holiday was for relaxing So much to see and so little time.

But there is always time for beer.

So far the best was the Dog Fish Head 60 although Arrogant Bastard rates up there. SN Torpedo was also excellent.
I'm afraid to go into the beer store... my debit card takes a great hit each time

[Tony L]

Dog Fish head 90... what can I say that's never been said before... man what a nice beer. At 9% I won't drink it like PBR
but it sure do taste better. Bought a few more to bring back. Might have to buy more clothes to wrap it in. Gonna stick
with more DFH 60 to try to stay a little sensible tonight.

Cheers

My last taste of BBQ sauce in Florida enjoying Dogfish Head 60 among others.

Sounds like you're having a blast Tony!

Sounds like you're having a blast Tony!

Not really. Back home into the fucking snow now.

But, I sure did have a great time... I love to swim and swimming every morning in the pool followed by swimming in the Gulf
some afternoons... para-sailing etc. sight seeing sure do take up time... and then there were the nights

[chalmers]

Glad you had a great trip!

[Tony L]

I did, Chris, I managed to pack away a few to try once I got here and when I get off call I'll be doing so.
Got the Smashbomb in also.. great beer.
