I'm usually not a cider drinker but the rhinegeist hard cider is pretty damn good

Most Rhinegeist beers I've had are pretty damn good. They have a baller can design too.

Yeah the designs are great. I also picked up their porter called "Panther" and it is pretty good. Kind of a run-of-the-mill porter though. Low APV as well. Like 5.8% or something. They've really seem to have expanded a ton recently. A year or so ago I only saw their IPAs now they have all sorts of shit.

I went to the brewery a few months ago and ended up spending a few hours there so I got to try quite a few.

I was in Cincinnati for a whopping 36 hours last week for business and was able to sneak in a Taft Ale House trip. They make the best beers of all the Cincy brewers. Those cats need to get on distributing.

Cincinnati is quietly become a pretty cool town again. They even have a company there making raw denim now!

Picked up some Lagunitas Czech Pils last night and really like it. We only recently started getting Lag so I'm years and years behind on trying anything from them. Usually just get the Little Sumpin'. Need to go pick up some Rochefort 10 tonight for my Mom and her husband coming in.

Absolutely fucking delicious! One of the best sours I have ever had (not high on the bitterness tartness though). Incredibly flavorful and complex, just stupidly expensive.

I'd use this site to plan for it:
San Diego Brewers Guild

Fuck, from a brewing perspective I'd love to see the inside of White Labs.
Welp! We were not able to get out on Sunday till after 3pm; anyhow. Went to Ballast Point first and wow what a beautiful brewery and a ton of beers on tap! Headed then to Ale Smith and again great looking and then to 32 North; awesome PB Porter and then to some shitty place called Legends or something, bleh. All and all we left to late from the beach to make it before alot of places closed but the first three were awesome!

That showed up around here about a month and a half ago (think I mentioned it) and it's one of the best sours I've ever had as well. I bought the last bottle they had a couple of weeks back though so I dunno when I'll get the joy of having some again. I didn't manage to save any, of course.

I finally felt well enough to try out a Psuedosue. It's fine, but isn't going to replace Moon Man as my daily drinker.

Rodenbach is fantastic. Have you guys had the Duchesse?

Duchesse De Bourgogne | Brouwerij Verhaeghe | BeerAdvocate

That's one of my favorites as well.
I've had all the standard Rodenbach offerings, but that one was a good step above the rest. The Duchessse is one of my "go-to" fruity sours (few pictures I've posted here have had 1 included in my weekends hauls). Available nearly everywhere and not very expensive.

Has anyone had that Strongbow shit? The Patrick Stewart commercials at least got me wanting to try it but if its horse piss I'll just pass.

Strongbow's pretty mediocre as far as ciders go. Magner's/Bulmer's is much better, although not as widely available.
