I suggested to someone recently that we met up there for a drink before a gig and she said it had shut down and then someone we met in another bar that night confirmed it. I'm sure at some point I witnessed it with my own eyes too but I'm wondering if I dreamt it now! I'll check when I'm next in town and let you know. |

any of you UK beer drinkers like Fiddler's Elbow, but Wychwood Brewery? The liquor store had bottles already cold, unlike most of thier good beer, so I snuck a bottle into the Ergs show last night.

f anyone loves hoppy delicious ales as much as I do, check out Rogue's Juniper Pale Ale. Also, Slighbor from reaper ale is obnoxious. And lately, I've been stupid and buying these six dollar 22oz of Stone Russian Imperial Stout. not a beer for humans, i'm pretty sure.

Rogue Juniper is alright, I wish Rogue would just at an IPA to their regular line up of beers available in six packs. The Brutal Bitter is pretty damn close to an IPA though.
I am constantly in agony over the fact that I cannot get Stone in FL.

no stone in florida eh?
maybe we can make a swap. is there an IPA down there that would stack up to whichever stone brew you'd like? we can't get east coast beer out here usually. |

i've never had any stone, but I hear such rave reviews all the time. I love IPA and stout beers, porters, barelywines, octoberfests, almost any style with a lot of flavor.

I know Old Style is made here, i dunno how big distribution is but it seems pretty well-known. we can bring some down for ya, nothing special, its your average beer not unlike PBR actually.

It's made by PBR unsurprisingly. |

we have old style out here. i'm pretty sure schlitz, PBR, old style are all made in the same place, i had assumed it was milwaukee. they all taste more or less the same, and are the same price.

We were in a bier halle-type place last night with a great selection of beers from all over the place, a lot of fun. Countries we managed to get covered included Poland, Czech Republic, Argentina, Spain, Kenya, Germany, Spain and Chile. Unfortunately I can't remember many of the actual names.
