Micro Brew Beers

I've drank several of these and will probably drink more sooner or later... Still chilly here so a nice Stout this weekend (Oscar), summer will be IPAs like Two Hearted and some lighter ales like Spotted Cow.

I wouldn't touch them. They are probably so over priced that only the rich can afford them. There is a micro brewery up in Park City here in Utah. I don't drink their beer but their restaurant is great.
I disagree with you. Some truly great beers run about $8-10 a six-pack, which I don't consider overpriced. Certainly when you compare it to buying a beer in a retail dining establishment.

I have Moose Drool in my bar frig, and have Polygamy Porter from my visit to Capitol Reef. Wish I brought more back with me.

Interesting list. A lot I have never seen before. Dog Fish Head 90min. IPA is a GREAT tasting beer. This is probably the Best time to be alive if you are a beer drinker. So many choices, and SO LITTLE TIME !!
Thanks for the list..
Thanks for the list..
Dogfish Head also makes a great Pumpkin Ale in the fall.

When in my 20s, 30s and 40s I could drink a 6 pack of Bud in no time. Now one beer at a meal is it for me so a little higher cost of a 6 pack for good beer isn't a concern.
That said, I am hooked on porters and stouts. My favorite was Black Butte Porter. Now it's Irish Death, a dark smooth stout/ale from the Pacific Northwest brewed by Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg WA. Of course I'll try any new porter or stout I come across when eating out.

Being fond of prairies, one brew I was not able to resist is "Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat" which is described as
"oatmeal cream stout" from the Tallgrass Brewing Company of Manhattan, Kansas. I was initially attracted by the name, but the beer was appreciated too.

If you go down to the Rehoboth Beach area visit the big Dogfish brewery, about 10 miles away from the beach (Milton, DE), you can sample most of what they are brewing, Free!

DogFish Head and New Belgium are very good brews. A couple of my favorite names are Rogue Dead Guy and Old Leg Humper, had a picture of a dog humping a woman's leg.

Porters , Guinness and IPA's are my favorites too, try the Edmond Fitzgerald and listen to Gordon Lightfoot, Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald.

Polygamy Pale ale. “One is not enough, bring some home for the wives.”

Looks like a very good porter, and that was a great song by Gordon. I haven't been to the Great Lakes in 15 years, next time there I'll look for that beer. Probably won't find it in the Pacific NW.

My daughter is a professionally certified bartender. A while back, she was working at Foothills Restaurant and Brewery in Winston-Salem, NC. Her favorite beer there was the Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate. It really is tasty.
Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout is excellent if you like caramelized, dark, bitter brews. My sister lives in Ashland, OR, near the Ashland Shakespeare Festival Rogue Theatre. The brew is named for the place. (Go there if you like great theatre!) Stout is very heavy and caloric, so go easy on it.
NoDa Hop Drop and Roll is made in Charlotte, in the North Davidson Area brewery. It is a very good hoppy beer.
I need to try Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter just for the name.
With all these good microbrews around, it's hard to like the cheap, mass-produced American bear-whiz stuff anymore.
