Best pilsner I've ever had is from Chuckanut Brewing in Bellingham, WA. GABF Gold Medal winner. Like most WA breweries, however, they don't bottle.
looks like american, but im sure it doesnt matter as long as it's tasty
I really like Duchesse.
Friend brought back some Alchemist Heady Topper from Vermont. Apparently they do not distribute outside of Vermont. Holy shit, definately one of the best beers I've had. It's recommended to drink out of the can. I did half can and half tulip glass, so fucking good.
Will be having some Pliny The Younger in a couple weeks. Kind of tired waiting and tracking Pliny stuff down, especially The Younger.
Oh god I want a can of Heady. I've never had it but heard amazing things. I guess the nondistribution is part of the mystique.
Gonna have to go with Prima Pils from Victory
never tried the others, but Prima is the truth.
Gotta agree with you. Not a big fan of pilsners but Victory Prima Pils is very good.
+1 Prima Pils

Quick after work pickup. Was reminded last night that I can get Stone across the river in Iowa. Should be a good evening.
Also, Templeton!

I've always been a big fan of Stone's style. Hoping I can find the 2013 release of Old Guardian in the coming days. 
Nah, it's year-round. Wychwood's flagship ale. Not very "strong" ABV wise, but it's good. I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at it, but see if you can find King Goblin.
Thanks everyone!
I'd recommend trying one of these if you can find it
I am not sure if its only available around halloween but thats usually when i see it!

Braved it over in Council Bluffs, I see. Don't they also get Bells?

Yeah, Bells, Founders and Jolly Pumpkin. I may have to head over a bit more frequently...unfortunately

Hockey and Buffalo Sweat (pictured) and 8 bit (pale ale with a focus on Galaxy Hops). Tallgrass is doing some pretty great things down there in KS

I'm drinking some Fuzzy Baby Ducks by New England BC tonight, if anyone knows that beer from the area. Pretty crazy lines to get it, but it's very good.

Very interesting. Grapefruit and pineapple notes from the hops come out at first, but are then overtaken by sour lemons and apples.

Golden Monkey has been a go to for me. It is an acquired taste for some (a little spicy but not really) and 9.5 Alch.
A couple of these and you're feelin' alright.

Younger is good, but standing around in line for it is just stupid.

I really love a great beer as much as the next guy, but there is no fucking way I would even consider waiting in that line to try one beer. Fuck that

OMG... WANT. TO. TRY.
To be fair, I believe tonight was the first tapping. It should even out a bit more as pours are way more regulated now than the free for all it used to be. The New Brew Thursday guys were there today too.
For how much they had the line was comparable at falling rock in Denver last year. I went early and they ran out as I was walking in. Some guy was just getting his second pour and must've seen my face and just gave it to me.
Very good beer. Not worth any of that shit though.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! What's everyone drinking for the big game?

Drinking Deschutes Red Chair NWPA and Lagunitas Maximus. Making Rendezvous clone ribs as we speak too.
I'm drinking Schell's emerald rye. With my employee discount at the liquor store these were $4.84 for a 12 pack so I definitely stocked up. I was pleasantly surprised by the hoppyness. I'm not sure if it is available outside of Minnesota (not sure how big Schell's distribution is) but it is similar to the Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye.

OMG, that looks great! I'd fall off the wagon for one
New beers are coming out, and I'm not drinking. Shit sucks. Less than a month to go!

Sam Adams IPA Hopology pack for me. I am a sucker for the limited edition packs like that.
Must be nice.

Fremont Brewing 77 Select Session IPA, Icicle Brewing Bootjack IPA, and Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale.
And hey, look at that. Untappd is utterly fucked. SHOCKING.

I always come back to Golden Monkey. The ABV is kind of through the roof, but it's so good.

Found Old Guardian 2013, along with its oak-smoked brother. Tonight, I decided to try the latter. Very nice sipper, and I do believe I will buy a few more bottles to age. My local store also had a number of 2012 Old Guardian left as well, so I bought a couple to share with a friend after work some day this week.

DFH's new IPA glass - for those who always wanted their IPA out of a butt plug!
I honestly don't think Younger is all that special. Its good, but its not something that I don't see from a lot of breweries. Elder is special, but not Younger.

Good man. Hennepin is one of my all-time favorites.
La Folie for all: New Belgium Brewing shows off its growing sour program
Woot. More sours is always a good thing. While the beer scavenger hunt can be a fun thing, it would be nice to be able to go to any bar and know they are going to have at least 1 sour on tap with their 9 IPAs.

Bring back Le Terroir goddammit.
Frambozen isn't too bad, though it's only a partial sour. I've only had a few sours and the ones I've had are different but in a good way. I've actually been craving them sometimes. Good to hear sours will be more readily available.
