This weekend I enjoyed Baltika Wheat Ale. It is a Russian brew, and just fantastic ! Highly recommended and I will surely be buying this again in the near future.

For one of my very first posts to this forum, I think I'd like to recommend Bitburger Pilsner. It's delicious. Bevmo has it or you can hit up The Yardhouse.. it's on tap.

I also recommend the Winter Bourbon Caskale which is served at Joe's Crab Shack. I think it's a seasonal beer.

I've seen that around and have always wanted to give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a try soon !
I always see that at the microbrew festival at the Santa Anita racetrack. it's good stuff.

I've not tried the Holy Ale. Never had the urge. If you say it's good then I'll have to give it a try.

This past weekend I enjoyed a few new treats:
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout - I'm still not the biggest stout fan, but this one is definately an exception, and perhaps a gateway to appreciating stouts.
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale - **** yeah !!!! That's all I have to say about this tasty brew. I would drink this stuff again in a heartbeat.
Samuel Smith's Tadcaster Bitter - A bit dissapointed with this one. Not very bitter by any means, and weak in flavor/body when put up against anything else from Samuel Smith.
I still need to try the SS India Ale. I've got the organically produced lager getting cold for next weekend's consumption. However, I have a strange feeling that I'll be working on my Sierra Nevada Celebration Ales come Xmas weekend

Bitburger is the "Budweiser" of Germany. But it's still very drinkableas it is German.

Can't go wrong with Samuel Smith's anything, imo. One of the best tap beers I ever had was the Old Tadcaster. I was visiting London back in the early 90s and happened into a pub where they had several barrels of the stuff. They had to pump it up to get it out. Tasty stuff and great color! And only just over a quid for a big pint, iirc. Drank 4 of them!

Just picked up a 6'er of this:
I am thoroughly impressed ! Very mild for an IPA yet lacks nothing. I saw it for the first time in Bevmo and decided to try it, considering Doug has always raved about Bridgeport.

Bridgeport ****ing rules
Their Christmas Beer rules
Their PA rules
This beer rules
This beer ruled all beers and the bastards stopped making it
as you might already know, Bridgeport IPA is bottle conditioned, meaning it's fermented with some yeast inside.
as for any other unfiltered beers, before you serve, let the yeast sentiment settle to the bottom of the bottle. if you see cloudiness inside the bottle when you take it out of the fridge, put it back in and wait.
this IPA is best when poured into a chilled glass. do it slowly so not to disturb the yeast, and keep it from getting out.
you won't be disappointed.

Brother David's Belgian-style Double Ale - Anderson Valley Brewing ...
http://www.avbc.com/beers/BrotherDavid.html
From the brewers of Boont Beer.
This stuff is very tasty and not real bitter considering it's 9%. The waxy covering over the cap is a nice touch as is the label. In fact this is better than most of the Stone specialty beers I've tried that are usually 10% but very alchohol tasting. This beer is extremely easy to drink and not too fizzy like some of the celebration ales. I'd give it a 9.5 and now I want to try the TRIPLE Ale! Not a bad price either, $3-$4 a pint bottle. If you want to get a good buzz on one beer instead of three, this is the ticket. (RR's diet tip of the day)

The Triple is WAAAAAAYYYYY better than the Double IMO. Both solid beers and part of my cellaring collection currently.

I felt a need to share this with you. Ask you local Pub landlord if he's heard of it. If he hasn't, well find one that has. Seek the truth.
