Also, stab some SF hipsters for me.

mmmm....I love Green Flash. Never had AleSmith though, so I'll keep an eye out. I also just found out I'm gonna go see Peyton destroy the Raiders live! Raiders tix are so cheap.

Good call on Russian River; I love me some Pliny the Elder. My buddy that I'm staying with has a car, so as long as he is down to check it out,I'll probably head up there.

i'm not at all saying it's not good beer, but i've never understood the adulation pliny (younger or older) gets. the line for russian river at gabf was roughly an hour long.

That's insane. I mean, I think it's a very good beer, but it isn't head and shoulders above other very good IPAs.

Also, I'll be trying the Rogue Wet Hop Ale in SF at their brew pub in SF. I better not be disappointed.

When you shed a tear, you will come back here and tell njx and me that you were wrong.

It might as well be Canada. And we all know Canadian beer sucks.

Tailgating in Buffalo is about beer pong, spiked hot cider, and shots from a bowling ball anyway.

i mean, it's better than albany, i guess.

[hobbes2053]

I finish my internship on Friday and thus will finally be done with my undergrad degree. Picked up a 6pack of Celebration and I still have my Wet Hop. Can't ******* wait.

[Giantsfan1080]

Fort Collins Rocky Mountain IPA any good West Coasters?

[Rob S]

I still haven't found titan ipa in san fran which angers me. going to rouge tomorrow though. the wet hop ale better be orgasmic.

nothing out of fort collins is good.

i'd guess it's probably pretty standard, i don't know that brewery at all.

[Giantsfan1080]

Well I will not be trying that then. Thanks.

[njx9]

if i saw it for cheap, i'd probably try it. but probably not worth whatever premium y'all pay out there.

[Giantsfan1080]

It was $10.99!!!!

Anyway I'll be drinking glorious beer at Ginger Man and Rattle N' Hum tomorrow afternoon/evening. Can't wait to try different stuff.

[njx9]

for a bomber or a sixer? either way, that's way more than i'd spend to check it out.
