Beer List

That's a list of the beer a local distributor carries. I'm a bit overwhelmed to say the least.

What are some "must-trys" that he carries? I'm splitting a case of La Fin du monde or a "varierty case" of Unibroue products depending on what's in it (anyone have any idea?) this weekend, but I'd like to try some others later on.

Dogfish Head 90/120 IPA, Midas Touch, Punkin' Ale, Raison D'Etre

I noticed they have that Saranac 12 beer variety on there, I had one of those, it was pretty decent.

I also heard really good things about that Microbrew Troeg's, though I have never had any of it. Someone else might be able to shed some light on them.

Thanks. I'm going to pick up the variety case of DFH some time (depending what's in it) because I love their 60 Minute IPA.

Yeah that's probably your best bet at this point.

I really want to try their King Midas, too. Any idea what that would cost for a case?

Duvel (huge head, its awesome)
Chimay
Hoegaarden White Ale
Unibrew Don De Dieu
Unibrew Ephemere (eventually, i'd put it at the end of list)
Unibrew La Fin Du Monde Ale
Unibrew Maudite
Unibrew Terrible 25 oz
Unibrew Trois Pistoles Ale
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier
Paulaner Hefe-Weizen 16 oz NR
Paulaner Salvator Double Bock
Spaten Optimator
Baltika Dark 16.9 oz NR (its a russian, very good too)
Sierra Nevada brews (the celebration is an imperial ipa i believe, its ok, the porter is supposedly good, the pale ale is rated good, but im not a huge fan of it, or any pale ale really)

That should get you started. I've had all of the above except for the Hoegaarden.

I'll post reviews of each as I get them. Keep in mind I'm forced to purchase cases, so this could take awhile.

On a related note, any idea what beers are included in the Unibroue variety case? I tried searching, but I couldn't find anything.

no idea.

as far as a case of beer. unibroue trios pistoles or the LFDM. I couldn't get a big IPA to drink. I'm good for about 1 IPA a day at most. I like 'em, but I'd rather drink a belgian style beer.

Also, keep in mind some of those have already been reviewed/posted, and I'll have more coming in the near future. I plan to have at the least, 60 threads on here within a few weeks.

I'm keeping that in mind as I'm arranging the order of preference. I'm going to try to get beers I haven't seen reviewed on here.

Victory Hop Devil (per Victory on LS2) and Rogue Dead Guy Ale.

I drink RDGA and it is pretty good stuff.

Which one?

I've never had the Victory as I can't find it out here.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale

Victory Hop Devil is easy for me to find. If you're interested in trading, post up in the stickied forum.
