Beer Notes (The Official XH Beer Discussion Thread)

I'm not an "extreme beer" drinker, but have noted many discussions here with interest.

Recently came across this article on the Dogfish Head brewery in southern Delaware. A good discussion of craft, micro and brewpub breweries, and what is happening with very strong beers.

Great article. Rep points for the find.

The 90 minute IPA - It'll get you drunk.

I tried a new beer the other day. Ommegang. It's brewed in Cooperstown, NY. So far I've had the Abbey Ale, and the Rare Vos. Both were awesome, and I'd recommend them to the beer lovers on here.

I love beer.

My favorite kinds are "Cold" and "Free".

In another thread, I've discussed my fondness for the IPA's, and in particular the high ABV variety. 90 minute is one of my favorite, though it is on the more expensive side - $10-$11 per 4-pack.

I disagree. I think there are plenty of great American craft brews. Great Lakes, Dogfish, Sierra Nevada, Cincinnati's own Barrel House... I could go on and on.

Great find, there was a Dogfish head restaurant when I lived in the D.C. area where I would catch all the Xavier games. Great food and their beers are amazing there, all brewed in Delaware and shipped. Their Chicory Stout made great for the winter time. If anyone is looking for a good holiday beer at the moment, I suggest the Sierra Nevada Celebration, extremely tasty.
