My New Favorite Beer

Translates as "from others" and, as he was buying, it meant that whatever he brought was going to be Von Anderen. He didn't get the joke and spent half an hour at the beer store looking for the brand.

Von Anderen, I am going to remember that! I brew from the grain and to the strict German standard, no Froufrou welcome here. Started brewing many years ago before the plethora of micro brews were available. I much prefer a good balance of hops and malt but the modern micro's are mostly way too heavy on the hops for my taste. I am sure at some point the taste profile will swing back to balance. Until then I will brew.

And to the label, That is wonderful!

I have been looking for that beer for ages! Not to drink it because i am not a drinker but just to have the cardboard carry sleeve to use as a plasticware holder in the airstream! If you aren't saving your could I ask you to mail it to me

Coming back from Yellowstone last year I stopped at the Uinta Brewing Co. in Salt lake City and put a case of that into my Bambi. Good Stuff!

Actually, I'm not a big fan of frou-frou beer, but the label is fun to look at while drinking real beer.

All we drink are craft beers and home brews, ours and our friends and my family's. I've known about New Belgium's Acuumulation for years, but the Detour one up there I haven't seen. So it's an IPA, (almost everything is), what's the IBU? Is it dry hopped? What's the gravity? What did it taste like? Pine or citrus notes?

Just another gourmet beer drinker here to annoy you.

Someone say beer ?

Got to find a 6-pack before we head out for our first trip of the year a week from Friday! I'll pick up a 6 of Moose-Drool too - our favorite brand!

I am so glad I have lived long enough to have a choice when I buy or order beer. The only really nasty beer I ever had was Ultra and I guess it wasn't all that bad, if you like water. One of the best things about traveling is getting exposed to different craft beers.

I have a pretty extensive Beer Stein collection. And yes it is great to enjoy so many choices in beers today, and other alcoholic beverages too

I think that I shall never hear
A poem, lovelier than beer

That stuff that Joe's Bar has on tap
With golden base and snowy cap

The stuff that I could drink all day
Until my memory neer' fades away

Poems are made by fools, I fear
But only Yuengling can make a beer

we use our two as holders for the plastic ware for our Pot Luck meals at the Georgia Airstream Rallies.
Great table decoration...they hold up pretty well.
