rugerrunner Campfire Member Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 166 Chanute, Ks. SEK to the locals	I love the beer threads, Just had my first Velvet Rooster this evening, would glady enjoy again. Had a Buffalo Sweat a while back and that was good too. I gotta tell you for Ales if it says Stone Brewing on the label, shut up and drink it, you won't regret it a bit. Gotta love anything that says Alaskan onit too. My all time fav is Alakan White, can't get it in Kansas, sucks to be me, but I buy alot when I go back to Colorado for visits. Alaskan Summer is on my list and Alaskan IPA is one of the best/smoothest IPA's you will ever try. I just love trying anything from a small micro brewery, you never know what you are going to get, but you can rest assured that the guy putting it in the bottle/can is proud of it and wants to share.

I've only had the red bottle, but it's very good. Chimay Blue was my longstanding favorite, until I found my friend that I posted above. I love it when Chimay 1500ml bottles come out around Christmas, I always grab a few. Wanted: Vintage Remington or Winchester hats, patches, shirts. PM me if you have something.

They're truly a thing of beauty. The guy is obviously very talented and experienced with building them I'll ask for some casual thoughts on design, and general pluses and minuses and pass them on. Any idea what kind of water you'd be using it in? I've only used the composites in freshwater bodies, but they're such neat rigs, and for some applications, nothing can touch a 'yak, as far as paddle-powered jobbies go.

Came across Buffalo Sweat by Tallgrass Brewing out of Manhatten KS. I'm not affiliated with them in any way but believe is a great beer. Hands down, the best stout I've come across in a VERY long time. It's an Oatmeal Cream Stout. Prefer it over Left Hand's Milk Stout, over Guinness and even Guinness Foreign Extra. I've been drinking it over my homebrew - that good. Of course now exact kits are available from Northern Brewer to make your own if you aren't in Tallgrass' distro. They're not clones - they are the real deal, put together in partnership with Tallgrass. It's essentially their recipie - scaled down for 5 gallons at a time. Good to know.. I'll see if I can find some around here.. Stouts and Porters are some REALLY good stuff, usually..

Good times, but ugh. kg- you obviously missed the fine print on the Brador label stating "not recommended for breakfast" I've actually forgotten how to start a '57 Evinrude after tangling with that stuff. Try LeBatt's Extra Stock- it's got about the same taste, and kick. It seems I have brewery just 20 minutes from the farm we bought here in Wisconsin, but I've yet to peruse the menu or take the tour. New Glarus Brewery in New Glarus, WI; supposedly makes some fine stuff. Road trip, soon..... Jim

We used it to celebrate our granddaughter's birth - @5% alcohol!!! see: http://www.samueladams.com/enjoy-our-beer/beer-detail.aspx?id=f2f5d102-82aa-4971-ba34-452dc736573c

They can be a hit or miss IMO..balancing the hops with the black patent character is where they can get off balance. Alaskan Brewing Co. makes a good version that isn't too over the top. Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana!
