One half of the year has come and gone. I have tried a lot of new beers out there but these are at the top of their styles.

1. Firestone Walker- American Wheat Style
The brewery calls it a fusion with the Belgian
Saison. Unlike any American Wheat I've tasted.

2. Russian River Sanctification-American Wild Ale
From my favorite brewery. It is termed a Sour
Blond Ale on the bottle but the sour taste is
not too overwhelming.

3. Ballast Point Sculpin-India Pale Ale
For those of you that simply do not like IPA's
give this one a try. It is smooth.

4. Schlafly Summer Lager-St. Louis Brewing Co.
This one is as good as any German Lager and is
refreshing like Yeugling.

5. Heavy Seas Gold Ale-Clipper City Gold Ale
I picked up a sixer in Baltimore last week.
Gold/Blonde Ale is not my favorite style.
NOLA was the only one that I could session.
This beer is very drinkable.


Well, that is my fab five. Cheers

I don't care for this beer. I must be the only person I know who goes to D.C. and doesn't come home with at least one case. Just isn't good IMO.

I don't always drink beer but when I do, I prefer Bohemia.

You know I noticed some those down at the local Circle K here. Might buy a keg of each and invite some friends over.

You are going to have to order it from the west coast. I don't know of any other states that get it except Pennsylvania, maybe NYC, and a select couple places in Florida, and that's a BIG maybe.

It's too bad we can't get Russian River on the east coast. I had their Pliny not too long ago - the wife brought me a growler back from her trip to San Fran. So good.

I want to try that Sculpin. I've heard good things. Does Ballast Point deliver to the east coast?

Anyone ever had Tampa's, Cigar City IPA? They don't deliver to Atlanta either, but I've heard really good things.

If you like Heavy Seas, give their IPA - Loose Cannon - a try. It's delicious. They've also got a Belgian Style, Dubbel Cannon and a black IPA - Black Cannon, that are all very good, imo.
