Haven't had this for awhile, what's in the glass/bottle/can for everyone tonight?

For me:

Alimony IPA
Horizon Red

And then some home brew High Crotch Ale

Prost!!!

It will be at least a week before I can have my home brew: Punch in the Face Double IPA.

So tonight it will probably be a Black and Tan or a Black and Blue.

Harriet Brewing Divine Occulust Belgian Strong Ale.

Can only get it in a growler... but it is sooooooooo good. If you come up to MPLS, hunt them down. Awesome new brewery just southeast of downtown.

The usual Captain and Coke for me (I'm not much of a beer guy.) Someone this week suggested trying it with Vanilla Coke.

So I've been out in the NW corner of the country for nearly two weeks and one thing has really surprised me.

NOBODY sells Miller Lite out here. It is weird. You can find it in stores, but not in restaurants, bars, etc.


Probably because its the worst beer ever made.

I cant find Alpha King anywhere any more. I really miss that beer, Cyclone used to always have that in stock.

I anticipated a few of those responses.

For the record, I can't find a Busch Light out here either.

One, it's not a bad thing you can't find Miller Lite.

Two, a lot of the midwest beers are "B" brand beers out on the coasts which means they have been contracted out and are usually in shorter supply. In the case of Busch Light, it's already bottom of the barrel so I doubt they even bother contracting the recipe to other breweries.

Vanilla Coke SO goes with Captain. 2-3 drinks and I should have the entire bottle of Captain gone. I'm so buzzed right now.
