when the moon first rose tonight, my eyes were met with such a beautiful sight. a feeling deep inside so hard to explain, so familiar yet impossible to name. this is the place where dreams come true, a part of me and a part of you. this is where our spirits fly, on beams of light across the sky...and i'll meet you, in the valley of the full moon. as bright as the sun, in the middle of the afternoon.
I love to see some of my faves already making an appearance.
In no particular order:
Green Flash West Coast IPA
Pliney the Elder (thanks, Aub for the head-up)
Budweiser Budvar (in the brown bottle, only)
Odell's IPA
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
Dogfish 90 Minute
Rochefort 10
This list is always in flux, though.

Definitely like the wheaties--Sunshine, Easy Street, Jack Whacker, and even though it's a Coors product, Blue Moon is a fine brew. PBR and Miller High Life are two of my favorite swills. Dos Equis amber and Grolsch amber are two I like as well.

So many choices...but at present, it would have to be Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. If you like hoppy beers, a couple other good double IPAs are Breckenridge 471 IPA (Small Batch) and Stone Brewery Ruination IPA.

Where's it brewed, TI? I don't think I've heard of it before. Oh, and one I forgot to add is 312 Urban Wheat, made by Goose Island Brewery out of Chicago.

It's brewed in Kansas City, and it's definitely a regional beer. My friend out in Colorado Springs gets excited every time I make the trek out there because it means he gets some Boulevard Beer (when I remember to bring it, anyway ). The brewery is just down the road from where I work, and that makes me happy just knowing that. :D
