new belgium sucks, they were just one of the first 'craft breweries' so a lot of people know the name
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
If this gets going today, I will play.

Bro, how you been?
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.
