COOP Zeppelin (Oklahoma)
New Belgium Lips of Faith Tart Lychee Ale (we really liked this)

And in a can that I can find here in small town Colorado to take to the mountains with me the New Belgium Shift.

Awesome, Bill!

I don't think I mentioned this before, but "CoCoNut Porter" from Maui Brewing Company is excellent!

New Belgium Shift.

Drinkable meets flavor. Lagunitas and Sierra Nevada Summerfest are the only other lagers with flavor for me now.

My current fave.

i tried old rasputin for the first time a couple weeks ago. darn tasty!

my favorite beers change with the seasons. left hand nitro milk stout has had my attention a lot lately, so i guess it's my current favorite.

Taking a picture of a beer that beautiful made me drool on my smart phone. The IPhone is so fun to use, I wind up taking pictures of good beer and food also.

This isn't my favorite beer or something I'd drink often, but I'd say the most interesting seasonal I've ever had -- Ska's Autumnal Mole Stout, with cocoa, spices and chile peppers. Went down well with the delicious birria (Mexican lamb stew) tacos on homemade corn tortillas at the release party on Friday. Yum-my!!! Love the artwork on the can, too. Good description of the beer here:

Anyone else had any good seasonals?
