Well, it is a Sunday afternoon in the fall and that means 2 things. Football and Beer. For me I started up with a Bloody Mary and a Sam Adams Octoberfest back just before the Packers Rams game. It was followed up New Belgium 1554 Black Ale and then Spaten Optimator and a Green Bay Victory! The New Belgium was the best of the three beers. A dark malty brew that paired well with cheedar cheese and venison sausage. So whatcya pouring this fall?
Well yesterday had a couple current favorites, a Goose Island 312 ale and a New Holland Golden Cap saison ale. Both mighty tasty, the Golden being my all time fave at this point.Quote:

Bell's Kalamazoo Stout. Very nice on a coolish night, and MNF.
Great choice. If you dig that, try New Holland's Poet stout or Arcadia's London Porter. They're so money and they don't even know it.Quote:

Hm…Isn’t that a Danish beer from Mickkeller? If so it is a good one.Quote:

I’m sure that there will be others this fall, however, for now these are what I’m rotating threw. I’m on a constant search for good beer, and I have cut my drinking down to a level such that I can justify buying a 6-pack every other week of something new, my goal is to try as many new micro/craft brews as possible.
That's a kickass fridge. I'm currently loving this Founders (Grand Rapids) Breakfast Stout. A dark, gloomy day deserves a dark and rich beer.:drink:Quote:
