Goose Island Holiday 2009
Mikkeller Single Hop IPA – Nugget
Mikkeller Single Hop IPA – Cascade
Russian River Salvation

I also had my first taste of beer from Truckee, California’s Fifty-Fifty Brewing that was on tap!
Rockslide IPA was a big, bold West Coast IPA. If time had permitted, I would have tried more of their beer because City had most of their line-up on their 6 taps. City Beer does it again!

Hollywood Brewery

On the heels of LA Beer Week, we lucky Angeleno’s will have Eagle Rock Brewing coming soon and now another entrant based in Hollywood,.

Hollywood Brewery is the brainchild of the people behind the newly opened Stout on Cahuenga near BoHo and Essex House. They are planning an ambitious amount of different beers when they are up and running.

Things are starting to turn the corner here.

Ithaca Brewing

Ommegang and Cooperstown are on my NY beer list and now add Ithaca as well. They have a couple of noteworthy additions in Brute and Eleven that sound great. Plus they have a nice regular line-up that includes a brown that makes me thirsty.

I would love a bottle of…

Open the door and let me in.
Manhattan Project from Brooklyn Brewery. I was scared but then shocked at how good the Cuvee de Cardoz was and now I want to try all of the weird beers that Mr. Oliver has cooking. This one is made with tart cherries and rye and is the beer equivalent of a Manhattan cocktail. Sounds good to me.

The Drunken Polack

This is a really cool website to learn about the cutting edge of beer. Dave reviews all sorts of beers and has an extensive list of beers he is willing to trade. Check out his site HERE to learn about his take on Stone Juxtaposition (amongst other beers).
