    Alt's a favorite, as is kolsch in summertime.

    I love Belgian ales. These brewers are the alchemists of wild, regional yeasts and bacterias, infecting their brews with a funk that only be described as heaven.

    I am a former trade brewer. I have my own constructed monstrosity, Ugly Betty, which brews in 12 bbl brewlengths - all of my beers are big beers, typically, 7%-12% a.b.v.; when hoppy, truly hoppy, as in my Imperial IPA, at 7.75% abv; massively hopped, with a fresh hop infusion, dry hopping schedule for grassy, mown-field late hop character; when roasty, a deep, roast brew - my Black Stag Imperial Stout, made with fine Karafa (dehusked black) malt, roast barley, a bit of munich, dark crystal and fine, maris-otter english malt. 11.5% abv, a winter warmer.

    I love making, and drinking, beer. Here's the label from my imperial I.P.A:

    Hah! This is the brewery I used to work for! Christmas ale - the recipe changes every year. One year, it was made with 20% rauchmalz (smoked malt) that did not go over - sad Christmas as we ended up losing truckloads of beer past date-code.:(

    The Goose Island Christmas Ale is gross- IMO. I've tried it a few times and have never been able to finish one.

    Man you guys are reminding me of that first big can of Fosters I bought after a hard day on the concrete crew....

    Well it is a sad story, I paid 2 Bucks for it, took a sip and was thinking about how those down under make a great beer, then I said to myself....This is two cold to hold between my legs while driving.....

    So I set it on the seat thinking that it would be fine and the next time I wanted to take a drink it was laying on it's side empty :mad:

    Then I cursed myself and drove home pissed off......Man I hate life, every time you think you are riding high you get pissed on or pissed off somehow!!!!!:mad:

    PS: You have to be a real idiot to spill your first ever can of Fosters :(
