Craft Beer Thread

congrats on the mug, coach!
how'd you earn/win that?
free beer is great.
tasty free beer, now that's living!

Anyone ever try Fireside Chat from 21st Amendment? It comes in canned 6 packs. I just stumbled upon it.  (Pun intended for comedic purposes)  I did not read this whole thread, but I did search for it.

you have to be in the mug club and each month they draw a number that gets free beer for a month

sweet deal

I don't know if you guys consider these to be "craft beers," but the Adirondack Brewery in Lake George is coming out with an Adirondack Winter Challenger 12-pack.  The carton graphics will feature a very cool photo of Ron Kon skiing off Algonquin's summit with Mount Colden as a backdrop:

I happen to like some of their beers, including the Bear Naked ale.

Just stumbled upon this thread. I love craft beers and will enjoy scrolling through to see what discoveries await. Meanwhile, in the spirit of keeping it local, I thought I'd recommend to all a fantastic Imperial IPA I tried last week at The Pony Bar Hell's Kitchen, at the corner of 9th and 45th in the city. The beer: Captain Lawrence Reserve Imperial IPA. Grab it if you can, and by all means check out The Pony if you're in the city. Cheers.

after a few dirty blonde drafts  at gore's bar I picked one up - nothing spectacular but all solid in their own right. the packaging and labels are awesome!

Not a beer, but five mile creek winery in Ithaca just off rtf. 79, some sweet wines for sure

Or the Cooperstown brewery in Milford ( not omajang ( whatever the spelling)),  brews only, but love the little guys . (Apparently they rent out to bush in between brews)

Campy

just saw a billboard advertising a copper craft like version of Busch beer.  If it's getting down to this point it can't be long that piss beer is a thing of the past

What's next PBR IPA?

piss beer

Had a Flying Dog Pearl Necklace Thursday night...Then another.  My first oyster stout...damn good

Had this on draft a few years ago, finally found it in these 4 packs for at-home use today. Good stuff!

Nebraska Brewing Co., IPA. Very fruity and hoppy nose but not overpowering on the tongue.  Quite a good IPA.  

Hop House from Ommegang.  Nectar of the Gods and made in NYS too

I had my first craft beer. It was a Firestone Walker IPA.  It was hoppy.  I think.

Yes you did!.  That is a very tasty, high quality IPA as well.

Yea and I have some advice for the how not to get drunk thread - don't drink the Firewalker.

I wonder whether you had Firestone's standard IPA (Union Jack) or Imperial IPA (Double Jack). Either way, at 7.5 and 9.5 ABV respectively, maybe not the beer to have when you're having more than one.
