The other pack is only a couple days into auction and it's already at $277. It's gonna get stupid.

Blind tiger now has Heather Ale on tap -- a little sweet, but hits like a 4 pound drilling hammer.
also Red Hook "pumpkin porter" is pretty tolerable.

Interesting. I could spend a lot of money at that place, trying all of their beers.

My local beer store has Red Hook IPA, so I will keep an eye out for their pumpkin porter.
I didn't try too many pumpkin beers last year, I will have make up for it this year.:D

Abita Turbodog is pretty good too.

Getting ready to crack open a Buffalo Sweat. Love this stuff.
 
Update. Stopped by this spot where some Custer guy apparently had an unpleasant misunderstanding with some native Americans.

...And made it to Ft. Benton. Staying at a pretty cool hotel here built on the river back when paddleboats made the run all the way from St. Louis. Hitting the river tomorrow for three days and will be camping in spots Lewis & Clark found agreeable.

I consider RedHook ESB to be the 'center of beer'.
If you could take all of the possible beer flavors, peel off the outside and just drink the middle, that would be RedHook ESB.
There's something admirable in that, if not particularly exciting.

That's downright poetic.:D

I am not above driving a few hours for good beer, so I will definitely remember that one for my next epic beer run.

Every Saturday? Working six days at work, so it will be a while before I can make. Definitely sounds worth doing, though.

If any of you get out St. Louis way. There is a bar called "The Flying Saucer" they have something like 100 different beers on tap. They are pretty knowledgeable about the different types/tastes of beers as well.

Kansas City has one, too -- that's where I got to try the Green Flash double stout on tap.
 
I hear ya callin Guyon. I'm up! Not really excited about my upcoming day though. Work is sending me to two days worth of classes. Trying to learn new stuff for a job and a company that you hate really sucks!
 
Red Hook ESB (extra special bitter) is a fine brew. Living in small town Indiana our liquor stores don't carry much good stuff. But, it just so happens that one of my old high school buddies owns on of the local stores and he's a huge fan of stouts. He used to carry that and I drank a lot of it. Its great. Probably havnt had it in a few years though. He wasn't selling enough to justify carrying it. What a shame. Have you tried the Red Hook Gamechanger?
