Oktoberfest calls...

anybody know a poignant hops and barley aficionado?

last night I had Full Sail IPA, which is pretty damn good

.

Some casual browsing for the bored and inebriated...

I can vouch for the Oatmeal Stout and the Ouiatenon Wit Beer. The Wit goes well on a hot
and humid day. Haven't tried the others, got hooked on the Stout many moons ago and just
couldn't bring myself to ordering anything else except the occasional Wit when
appropriate. Happy browsing...

this is my all time favorite, sadly it is only available in the spring. It affects my
memory I dont know why, so I have to be careful.

Landshark is brewed in Jacksonville and is available at most groceries stores here in
Florida of course. It is an avoid. Thin, watery - too much corn (which doesn't belong in
beer anyway) (the corn imparts a sweetness). There is also a Budweiser brewery in
Jacksonville so I guess this is fitting - another bright, transparent yellow lager with
almost no flavor.

Well Vette, now that you mention Smirnoff, my dad drank that at breakfast because it was
odorless, he said. By dinnertime, you didn't want to be around him, so I'm at least glad
that you figured it out.

The last beer I had , 8 years ago was Coors light tall can, chug down 1/2 of it then fill
it back up with 100 proof blue label smirnoff. LOL . It was called Destroy your liver in 2
easy steps. Truthfully one day I decided I'd had enough and never touched alcohol again.
Maybe a sip or two at toasts , but thats it.

Never had that, Drew, but how about a nice ale from Vermont called Long Trail? Tried it
for the first time a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. We also have quite a few
microbreweries in the Finger Lakes region that are pretty darn good as well. The Central
New York region would surprise you with its wineries and breathtaking lake views.
