Ballast Point Sculpin is amazing, amazing beeer.
Certainly amongst the best IPAs I've ever had.
My face is numb, and I wish to see the school nurse.

Question: Do you have to extend your pinky finger when you drink these? :wink:
My friend and I have been attacking the import section at Hy-Vee, buying 6 packs of stuff we have never had before. I just had Stella Artois, a Belgian beer that is pretty good. However, when I looked at the expiration date when i bought it this week it had expired on april 10th. Still not bad.
I actually went to the Potosi Brewery in Wisconsin. They have a museum with a ton of old beer memorabilia. It costs $7.00 for the self guided tour which gets you a free beer at the end of the tour. Their brewpub is very nice as well. We ate there and the food was rather inexpensive and the actual bar was simply amazing. The woodwork was incredible. Plus the beer was really good. I ended up having a sampler with my meal and it came with 5-4oz samples of their beer and a sample of their root beer that they make. I would suggest going up there sometime it was really interesting and fun.
On another note since I was in Wisconsin I picked up some New Glarus beer while I was there. I built my own 6 pack with some beers that I had never tried and their black wheat and coffee stout are simply amazing. But I saw one of their fruit beers and had to get one. I got their raspberry tart and it is like no other beer that I have ever had. It was almost like a wine but it was really good. has anyone else tried this stuff before?
Just thought I would mention I'm addicted to Retro Red Ale by the Fort Collins Brewing Company. It only scores a B from those on beeradvocate, but I think it's a great, reasonably priced brew. I love Red Ales and have tried quite a few and this is top notch. Has a nice hop kick, but is smooth enough to drink a sixer. I love this stuff. Anyone else like reds that can give me some other recommendations?

Lately I've been partial to Goose Island 312
Just picked up a 6-er of Point Nude Beach. An ok summer brew...dunno if I'd buy it again, but it was enjoyable while it lasted.
Enjoying some Boulder Beer Co's Hazed and Infused. Picked it up in Omaha this weekend, and I'm really impressed. I would call it a great beer to introduce one's self to really hoppy ales. It has great hop flavor, but not as much of that tongue-ripping bitterness. Sierra Nevada Torpedo up next. One of my favorite beers.
