I agree. Gooner had suggested I try the Voodoo Ranger IPA - so I went through all of them. There is like a regular one, a DIPA, a hazy one, this mango one - they are mostly just average IPAs. The mango one was good, the hazy one was drinkable, but super light. I have never been a big fan of Fat Tire or the original Ranger IPA, but figured I would give it a shot.

I've been hitting Total Wine and loading up on sours the last month or so, which I think has changed my beer tastes - and I drink a lot of fruit added shit now. Not sure what that means about me, but I enjoy it.
 
what would you say is the best of the beers among the tier that includes New Belgium -- the earlier craft brewers that got bought up by the major distributors and have a national footprint?

I think my favorite might be Lagunitas

I'd say maybe Dogfish Head or maybe Goose Island.

If you include The Bruery in these, it would be them. As I think about it, Allagash has been around forever and they are really good at what they do.

I really enjoyed the Goose Island belgium stuff for awhile - the sofie and matilda, because it was nationally distributed pretty early. Not sure where Bells falls on the early list, but this wing place near my house in Florida was run by a friend of mine and he was a beer guy, and he got Two Hearted and Oberon on draft, and he and I drank through most of the kegs over a week stretch because no one else ordered it, and it got me hooked on testing and trying out new things - that was maybe 2006.
 
Sup gentlemen and ladies - how’s it hanging?
 
Lagunitas or Bell's is the right answer. Oberon is the perfect summer ale, and Brown Shugga is a favorite of mine in the colder months.

Not sure what sort of footprint Troegs has nationally, but they'd be in the conversation for me too. Nugget Nectar is so friggin' good.
 
two hearted is the best year-round mass distributed "craft" IPA i think, yeah

harpoon probs in the conversation for that too, and obvs dogfish head 60 minute

looked it up because I like Bells too, but they're family owned and not owned by a larger distributor (surprisingly)
 
Founders and Bells are both awesome Michigan breweries.
 
I will turn this into the Warcraft Mafia Sign Up Thread that you can also discuss how bad a mod I am thread.

If I can get 25 I will run it next week. I had bigly doubts even 20 was possible, but hey prove me wrong.
 
FYI while I know I have said to sign me up for anything, I cannot play next week and will be travelling in a car the following Monday, so I could play that one but would be spotty. Carry on!
