I will drink it, and I will occasionally even buy it, but there are better hazies out there, in my opinion.

"Kegs, Cans, or Bottles, all taste the same. The three best is one beer—Blatz is the name."

Maine Beer Ccompany flagship DIPA, "Dinner," on tap. First time for me. Amazing, intellectually, but honestly too much for me under normal circumstances. Meaning, too much horsepower. I actually prefer a couple of their other beers. Good problem to have.

Agree. A very sophisticated beer.

Apparently - based on the package - you need to drink it while listening to bootleg tapes from Monterey Pop.

Monterey Pop. I used to drink longneck Buds and shoot pool at Beer Springs on Lighthouse Avenue when I lived in Monterey in the 1980s.

It's probably best to go with the "Toyota Camry." It's not the best car in the world, but it's purrty damn good.

I remember the first time I had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. My friend, who also brewed his own beer, had it, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever (compared to Budweiser or whatever we drank then. But with new breweries and new beers being developed seemingly every day, it's now tough to choose a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, as classic as it is.

Classy package, classy beer. To some, maybe, just another glass of New England pineapple juice. Fair enough, but to me it's an example of one that's perfectly done in terms of balance. Very long in the mouth and just bitter enough to make you take another sip. Not too sweet, not too boozy.

^That just made me want a beer. Looks really good, and not too high of an ABV.

Well I've known for a long time that DAB made a good lager:

But while picking some up I noticed they also made Maibock. I seemed to remember the name Maibock from my younger days, so I tried a couple. It was so good so I went back and picked up some more.

While picking up the Maibock, I saw some dark beer, so I tried it. Also very good.

Who knew?

 

[Tony S]

They know that's "bad" backwards, right?

Maine Beer Company makes some good stuff. I have to say I'm really liking two roads too juicy DIPA.

Head to this on saturday. We go every year. I consider it beer and cider research ha ha

There was a little neighborhood bar that I would stop to eat maybe once a week that had DAB on tap. It was owned by an old German guy, his wife would run the kitchen and his brother would tend bar nights. Aside from good food the beer was always cool, not cold but cool maybe 45F - 50F they had others on tap a well but back than I would drink the DAB. It is better from the tap.

Because inquiring minds want to know, DAB stands for Dortmunder Actien Braurerei.
