Ames Lager

[Tailg8er]

Wait a sec.

Did you put Yeungling and PBR in the same sentence???

Hahaha, yeah, I prefer Yeungling obviously. I don't think Ames Lager is exactly like either, just has a stronger flavor like those two do (I understand their flavors are not the same).. They're both pretty distinguishable compared to other more watered-down beers, which I think Ames Lager will be in the same category for most people.

We need an Ames Ultra?

Looking forward to trying the beer of champions.

I was actually in Happy's last night and the said they were working on it but it's going to be a while. West O just doesn't distribute to this part of the state.

Was in there this past Saturday and told the same thing.

However, my greatest concerns have been alleviated as just this morning I was able to purchase a couple 6 packs of Ames Lager here at the Dodge Street Hy-Vee in Dubuque. I say a lot of mean **** about Hy-Vee, but God dammit I am happy they had their **** together for this

I'll be doing this later today

You may be out of luck. I was in there last night around 8:30 and there was only three 6-packs on the shelf. I just grabbed one so others had a chance (you're welcome).

I forgot to add that the Grimes Hy-Vee said they fielded phone calls about Ames Lager all day yesterday. I can only imagine the other locations did as well. It's worth calling ahead before driving to the store.

Can't wait to hear Andrew Downs automatically say Swarm is better than all of them.

Frank Garza will probably be a guest taster too

CR folks, Hy-Vee Edgewood has Clonefest and Ames Lager. I bought 18 Ames Lager and 6 Clonefest

I'm not a vodka drinker (forever killed that taste in high school) so can any of you vodka drinkers tell me if there's really much difference in taste between mid-level vodkas like I assume these both are? The beers should be easy to distinguish since they're all a different kind of brew.

Headed to Hyvee in Ames to see what I can find.

My wife picked up some today at West Hyvee

 

[CoachHines3]

nothing at windsor heights hyvee

 

[Hoggins]

That’s pretty cool. I’m guessing We Will is going to sell out quickly. Part of why I went to go buy beer at 10:30 am

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check the east due to limited time. Cyclone liquor might have it too

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

No luck at east hyvee but I did grab the clone and Trice. Gonna check out Cyclone as well

 

[dtISU]

Nothing at Boone HyVee yet (go figure)

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Cyclone liquor sold out! I’ll try tomorrow. What a fun campaign for We Will

Driving thru Iowa this weekend and I'm a bit fearful that Iowa State fans will buyout all the beers before I get there.

Vodka is supposed to be tasteless. I've read about labs testing Grey Goose and Bottom Shelf ones, and they will be indistinguishable. You'll have less impurities and may have less hangovers as a result. But really can't tell teh taste difference.
