Stone Brewing

Greetings everyone. I am really sorry for not posting for the last two months but things have really been tough lately however, I found a new favorite beer. Stone's Emperial IPA. Its there 14th anniversary brew and it is simply the greatest tasting IPA i've tasted thus far. Sorry Second to Peak Organic IPA, but Stones IPA is right there neck and neck with Peak Organic. I found it at Ron's Steakhouse. They have an AWESOME selection of rare hard to find brews. I really hope to visit Stone's brewery someday when i can afford to take a trip up there but till then i will just sit back and enjoy there beer. I highly suggest going to Ron's and picking up a bottle or two. Its not to expensive either. Only about 11 bucks for a big bottle and it is worth the price. Also i think i've found the perfect Summertime beer. Troegs Sunshine Pils is well balanced with malt and hops. Not to bitter, not to sweet, with just the right amount of flavor for those hot summer days. of course summers just about over but its still good for those times when you don't want to heavy of a beer. It goes well with a lot of different foods. I like it with wings and burgers but like i said it goes with a bunch of different foods. Sam Adams Oktoberfest is now available for celebratory consumption. I had my first one of the season just the other day and remembered why i wait all year for this beer. Not to sweet "since it is a lager" like a lot of lagers can be. Its simply a good beer. And i don't like Lagers! Flying Fish has there version of this brew and i think its to sweet. Not as flavorful and not really impressive. now i'm sure there will be a wide array of Oktoberfest beers coming out and all i can say is try them to see which ones you like. I will try to write about the ones i find but when it comes down to it its all a matter of what each one of us likes. My recommendations are just that. If people don't like the beers i suggest that's ok. We all like what we like. And that is the great thing about humanity. We don't all have to like the same thing. we all have different tastes and preferences. Ok i gotta run for now, i will try to get on a more regular posting schedule but ya'll gotta bear with me. i will continue to bring you my opinions on beer and i will definitely try to get out to a brewery and write a story on the breweries that bring us there awesome brews. So until next time, Drink responsibly and Cheers.
