Quote from rybal : You just want me to prove I'm not full of it.

NO, I believe you. I know you aren't a BS'er. I just want to admire the fridge.

Well I am a BSer, just not in this case I'll post up a pic later tonight. Need to reorganize the fridges anyways.

As promised, albeit late. I didn't see Lagunitas or Cigar City when I made my claim Can't get CC here, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen a bottle of Lagunitas, though it apparently sells in Ohio.

I included the Mt. Carmel for Coquito

Sexy stuff. Way too organized though. Almost looks like they posed for those pictures. It must be difficult to decide what to drink at 5pm. I usually have half a case of Yuengling or a sixer of Old Chub laying around for when I'd rather not think too hard about it.

hey which dfh is above the dreadnaught?

can i go shopping in your fridge please?


hey did i tell you that i was promoted? from here on out, every 12oz bottle you see from my employer was bottled by me...i now run the 12oz bottle filler...to be able to run the filler usually takes someone over a year to get to do...for me, 2.5 months

[Coquito]

Cool. Maybe you can get my rep to convince the local Costco to carry some cases.

I think it's Red & White. Much better then the Black & Blue I feel.

They did pose - I put the two things (cranberry juice & brita) I took out of my fridge back right after the picture and shoved all the bottles to the back. That is the natural state of my fridge while I'm using the other freezer as a fermenteezer. It is difficult to choose, which you can tell probably by the 7/7/7, 8/8/8, and 9th anniversary Stones in there - lots of that stuff is pretty aged. I keep more normal stuff out in the garage fridge. If I had High Life in the fridge, I would probably opt for that most nights

Raison D'Extra is above the Dreadnaught, Chateau Jiahu and Black & Blue are behind it. Got some older Pangaea and Fort in there too. I notice now that pic is a bit blurry, oh well. Looking forward to trying the Dark Horse Percolator (coffee doublebock).

Yeah, I saw you were promoted, awesome stuff!

Red & White is my favorite DFH beer and probably in my top 10 overall.
Looking at the bottles, I apparently have 2006, 2007, and 2008 Red & White now, lol. I tend to buy them in pairs, drink one right away, then not go back for the other I guess

Quote from Mavtech : Bells has some good beers. Hopslam is one of the most unique tasting beers I've ever had. Two Hearted is always known as one of the best IPAs. Their Double Cream stout is excellent for the style. I've never had their Best Brown. But, I've heard and read that it's one of the best. Their Porter is also one of the best I've had. They are definitely one of the best breweries in the world. Some of my favorite breweries: 1) Stone 2) Bells 3) Surly 4) Lagunitas 5) Founders 6) Cigar City 7) Stone I'm sure Victory will soon make this list as soon as they start selling in Florida.

You listed Stone at #1 and #7.

[120 Minute Man]

Maybe he likes it that much?

[Mavtech]

I'm working a beer festival for my brew club. DFH has 120 on tap. I could feel the alcohol just from the sampler. Lol

[beowulf7]

Quote from 120 Minute Man : Maybe he likes it that much?

Possible, but the average of 1 and 7 would be 4, so maybe Stone is really his 4th fav.

[Mavtech]

I was basically expressing how much I like Stone. I can see your point about the average score though.

[IPABeerLover]

Hmm I would say my top 7 are:

1. Deschutes
2. Dogfish Head
3. Founders
4. Mikkeller
5. Rogue
6. Lost Abbey
7. North Coast

with mention to Rogue, Stone, Lost Coast, Bell's, De Struise, etc etc

i love lost abbey, but lately they have been going down hill.... they seriously need to open up a QA lab and run tests on their beer before shipping it out... their consistency sucks.

[IPABeerLover]

Definitely true matt.....reason they are lower then rogue
