No matter how old this blog is I feel the NEED to reply…you need to get you facts sright before you start going bashing the distribuors…it is not Mesa’s fault that your variety is diminishing nor is it their fault that Dog Fish went to them..if you are looking for anyone to blame go directly to the source..all of these ‘ craft ‘ brews that you talk so much about and have so much love for want to be just like the big boys and make as much $$ as they can…they do not really care that much about having all the different kind of beers..they want the money.

Mario,

You’re wrong. This beer is good. I do like wine, but I like this more than wine; its wine-beer hybrid. smoothness of a white wine, yummy maltiness of beer, good bitterness at the back-end and good, well balanced experience throughout.

Nice piece. I couldn’t agree with you more and I’ve always felt the same way. What could possibly be snobby about just drinking a beer?

Not wrong…okay maybe a little. Your comparison to a dessert wine was more on target than to a chard. Sorry you didn’t like it.

The Hawk’s been on of my favorites since they first made it. It’s ome of Mendocino’s great achievements, a very English-style strong ale. Love that beer. William Brand

Mario… I had a version of the beer aged in a Bourbon barrel, a 2006 and I got it a few months ago, that was really good. Perhaps a bit heavy on the bourbon, but nice.

yeah, I used to be a big Full Sail fan. But they have been drowned out by some of our own local craft beers, haven’t they. I do know they have some special beers, but they never make it to the Bay Area.

One of the best beers I have had, let alone in the category of lager.
Here are my tasting notes!

I’ll be honest Sweetwater 420 has a cooler name then they have beers. Which is unfortunate. I will stand by the blue though i enjoy drinking it and I agree the IPA is tasty as well. I actually had the Brown and Pale for the first time in months before i shipped those to you and they still did not do much for me. They have some other seasonals that come out that are decent. One called a road trip i enjoyed. They also have a white ale called a Hummer which i was very disapointed in. I tend to like the Wheat ales a lot and the Hummer was a major disapointment.

glad the package made it to you in one piece and you at least got to try some different brews!

I like a lot of what abita does. They have a high grav called Andy Gator i have had some good nights with. Not my fav high grav but it always seems to come at a nice price.

Turbo Dog is a good one they also have an amber i have enjoyed a lot!

sounds like you and Kaleigh had a good afternoon!
