  1. I had Hop Sun fresh on tap last weekend. It might be out by you already.

     

    Hop Sun, Noble Pils, and Eurotrash figure to be my Summer beers. I'm sure I'll work Prima Pils and Pikeland Pils into the rotation as well. Until I discover something new of course. :P

    Same here. Look for Sierra Nevada Summerfest to throw in the mix as well. Good stuff.

    stopped at Cornerstone brewery today in Madison, OH and had their Pils and a Buffalo chicken Pizza. Not too shabby.

  2. I have yet to make a black IPA. One of these days I'll get around to it. I'm not a fan of the Great Lakes Christmas Ale but I'm in the minority. Most people really like it.

    Dortmunder Gold is probably my favorite that they make.

     

    If anyone travels to Columbus for games I would be willing to bring a growler or two to a pre-game beer tasting.

  3. My take was minimal this season - 1 bottle of Southern Tier Cuvee Series 3.

     

    I did however get to upgrade the brewery! It's now all electric with 3 stainless kettles and 2 ranco temp controllers and a march pump. I can now brew inside all year long. No more freezing while brewing a triple decoction czech pils in the winter.

     

    As a side note - maybe the brewers here could swap a couple of brews? I have the usual pils (kegged) and my version of yuengling ready to keg. I also have a Helles in primary. While putting together the new system I haven't kept my kegs full.

     

    When we play columbus make sure to check out Barleys. It's right near the arena and the beer/food is pretty good. The Elevator is cool to visit but the beer is sub-par.

  4. I'll jump in since I've had a little bit of a chance to gather my thoughts on this. I'm a homebrewer and beer lover, but like weave I wouldn't call myself a beer snob at all. There is a time and place for almost every kind of beer. Almost.

     

     

    Another homebrewer and beer judge here. I try to drink the local craft beer wherever I am at. Just got back from a trip to Maine and had several excellent brew out there.

     

    At home I usually have 5 kegs on tap - a czech pils, a pale ale, an IPA, a dry stout and usually have my version of Yuengling. Selection varies but that's the usual suspects.

     

    Victory Prima Pils is a favorite. Sams Adams or anything from Great Lakes will do when I'm out and there is nothing more interesting on the list. We are finally starting to see some Southern Tier in Ohio. Hop Sun is probably my favorite beer that they brew.

    I typically stay away from beer with fruit and/or spices - just don't care for them.

     

    Stopped at the brewpub near the arena last time I was in Buffalo for a game and had a decent IPA.
