codewritinfool Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Drinking O'Dell's Myrcenary. Darned fine beer. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Other than some dreadful efforts decades ago by the now deservedly defunct Chelsea Brewing Company in Chelsea, MI, I’ve never met a craft beer I didn’t like. IMO, the whole idea is to stay local, which means Griffin Claw in Birmingham, MI. You can’t throw a dead cat without hitting a craft brewery around here. Hop Cat has nice offerings and good food too at several locations. Bell’s Oberon or Two Hearted Ale are my go tos when on the road, If on the menu. When not on the menu, I’ll ask the server to recommend a local IPA. My fear is being at some catered event where all the bottled beer choices look like urine specimens. Finally, my brother offers Bell’s after pressure from his sons, when we visit him at the lake. He sticks with his Miller Lite. I forget what that tastes like.

willland Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Too many fine craft beers out there to say which is my favorite. Some of my go to beers that I can find locally often enough are: Breckenridge Brewing Vanilla Porter Highland Brewing Gaelic Ale Cigar City Maduro Brown Cigar City Jai Alai IPA Duke's Cold Nose Brown Ale Sweetwater Brewing 420 EPA Rogue Brewing Dead Guy Ale Just to name a few.

rplace Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Mine! If out and about I'll try anything I've not had which is a hard task. I always go back to the staples in the end. Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loves it so much I made a clone of it last year, and it even turned out good! 12 hours ago, rplace said: Mine! Here, here! The last beer I made (tapped a couple weeks ago -- a vanilla milkshake IPA) is so good that I may finally be onto something here. Even my coors light drinking dad and my Milwaukee's Best Light drinking Dad-in-law both love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the weeks, The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is in full song, Mecum auction was going on and a motorcycle ride on Sunday. The best and busiest week to be in Indy. Hopefully next year the Pilgrimage can return to April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Easy for me. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. It's a wet hop IPA, they make one batch of it because the hops have to be wet and just harvested. Hits the shelves in November, and is gone when it's all sold. Usually by February... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
