They just dumped a ton of sugar in it to make more alcohol. It's sweet because the ****** yeast they use couldn't break down all of the sugar.

Platinums were 3 bucks on happy hour along with all the other light beers so I went with them. Not horrible, got the job done.

I get that. It's mainly the price. When it is only a dollar less than a pint of a good IPA, it serves no purpose to me. The only reason I ever drink bud light is because its cheap or on special at a bar for cheap. Unfortunately no bar I've ever seen runs $2 Dogfish specials.

This would be the greatest and most damaging thing of all time.

My bar has pint night on Monday. Anything that doesn't go in a snifter is $3. Unfortunately, no Dogfish in KC yet, but it does include Bells, Founders, Odell, Stone, Boulevard, and a host of others.

I'll trade you Dogfish Head for Bells in a heartbeat. Two Hearted is the best IPA evah.

I love them both, but the Two Hearted beats out both the 90 and the 60 for my tastes.
I do sometimes like to kick it with a nice tall glass of 75 minute.

I've only had the 75 and the 120 once. The 75 was great.

Surly Furious (IPA) is amazing... Apparently it is only available in the Minneapolis area.... And it only comes in cans, but it was delicious
New Glarus also just release their first actual true IPA and it was really good

My friend had this when he was in Minny. He said it lived up to expectations.

My opinion might be slanted since I only get to drink some bells a few times a year when I'm up north visiting Ohio.

Not bad, but I am biased towards ales. Also, whoever poured the one in the image is a ****** pourer.

For real someone needs to start mailing me a bottle of these beers. Whoever brought that up first is a genius.

That Bells and the Stone Double IPA are the 2 I'm most interested in right now. If anyone really wants to do a swap we can figure something out.

NY has very little to offer unfortunately. Can you people get Brooklyn Local 1 or 2 outside of the NY area?

It is weak here but there's got to be something they want.

Brooklyn Local 1 and 2 are both very good if they can't get them.
