Maybe when I come to Boston, JM, you'll have some of this chilling in the car?<BR/><BR/>Not a big Sam Smith or Sam Adams fan. <BR/><BR/>Red Hook IPA is the bomb, followed closely by Stone IPA, my local San Diego brewer.Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772870279966927802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-40230753484645439512009-02-28T12:38:00.000-05:002009-02-28T12:38:00.000-05:00I'm assuming it will be hard to find on draft.

Obama has hops. Ever seen him play ball? Imperial Stouts are like drinking heaven. I love 'em. Tonight I'm going out so I will look for a Harpoon I.P.A. The town I live in probably doesn't have it but I will be out in a college town (SIU baby!!)tonight so surely they'll have some Harpoon.<BR/><BR/>My friend can brew just about anything he wants. He has a brewery in his basement and he can clone any beer. He usually focuses on stouts but here lately he's been making pale ale's and ciders for some reason.<BR/><BR/>I love Sam Adams. Best American beer there is.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338227013791182092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-88302560592829867582009-02-28T04:13:00.000-05:002009-02-28T04:13:00.000-05:00Chris,As I write this I'm enjoying the last of the...Chris,<BR/><BR/>As I write this I'm enjoying the last of the four precious masterpieces...<BR/><BR/>I'm scouring the net to find out where I can get this on draft. On my one precious day off a week, Sunday, I will go and consume this at an adult beverage facility serving it on draft. <BR/><BR/>I've tried some Sam Smith oatmeal ale or something. Certainly respectable, but this hops thing is what I seem to love. <BR/><BR/>If you can get your hands on some Harpoon I.P.A. over your way, do it. <BR/><BR/>Before I found this Leviathan I.P.A., Harpoon I.P.A. was my "desert island beer".<BR/><BR/>You have to like hops though, maybe you don't. Maybe you're a big fan of Obama (had to throw that in).<BR/><BR/>I'd love to try your friend's home brew. My boy has a "kegerator" in his downtown Boston townhouse, but I don't really know anyone who brews.<BR/><BR/>...other than Sam Adams and Harpoon right down the street.JasMarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354457022511599465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9247604.post-66516732928131198232009-02-27T11:11:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:11:00.000-05:00I love IPA's.

But my favorite beer ever is <A HREF="http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/5_breweries/samsmith_imperial_stout.html" REL="nofollow">Sam Smith's Imperial Stout</A>. But also the <A HREF="http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/5_breweries/samsmith_old_brewery.html" REL="nofollow">Pale Ale is very good</A>.<BR/><BR/>I'm also a huge fan of Sam Adams. It has to be the best American brew around. I have a friend who brews his own and he does a fine job as well.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338227013791182092noreply@blogger.com
