but I really don't like beer

ooooh I had this fantastic Espresso Chocolate Oatmeal Stout today...homebrewed by my fiance. I'm very impressed by this one.

We just turned our bedroom bar fridge into a living room keg holder..fancy that...beer on tap at home! Sweeeeet! Anyone for a pint? Darned lack of western Canadian tikiphiles.

Not being political, but this is becoming a collectable beer

Bottles originally sold for $3.50. Has anybody tried this ale?

For all you who like Stone Brews...

http://www.stonebrew.com/epic/040404/

This years veritcal epic came out last week & is limited.

The Stone 04.04.04 Vertical Epic Ale
"Think Belgian-style triple," begins Stone Head Brewer Lee Chase, "but with some unmalted wheat and a dash of Indonesian Kaffir Lime Leaf. The result is a bit like a strong golden Bier de Garde / Saison-esque influenced beer coupled with some aromatic Bavarian hefeweizen-style phenolic banana esters, and a backnote hint of lime from the lime leaf," continues Chase. "Oh, and with some hops of course.

I visited Alesmith last Friday for their Friday Special & got myself a growler of their IPA. The ale's amber to red with a white, rocky head. It's in the American Pale Ale style so Hops predominate the nose & back of the beer, but there's malt in the middle, maybe Crystal or Caramel Malt? It's definately better than what Alesmith used to brew when they 1st started.

I was tempted to get a bottle of their Speedway Stout, too, but @ $10 for a 750 ml bottle I passed. It's in a league of it's own: Coffee Imperial Stout, @ 12% ABV & a cup of coffee per bottle it's the Speedball of beers!

Way toooooo much wasted time!

Meanwhile, in local news, Greg Koch (CEO of Stone Brewing Co. & creater of Arrogant Bastard Ale) will deliver the opening address tomorrow at the Craft Brewer's Conference & Brew Expo at the Town & Country Hotel in Mission Valley. This event will go on until Saturday, draws brewers from all over the world and (I would guess) must be one hell of a party. Way to go Stone!

Tikibird, you did read the date on the press release, right? I think it's even better than last years "Extreme Lemony-Lime."
