While in Columbus, OH this week on business, I annihilated Hyde Park's Steakhouse and Champp's Restaurant supply of Great Lakes Brewings Dortmunder Gold Lager. Wow, is that a delicious brew.
I got a feeling I'm going to be hitting up my bourbon brethren in Cleveland for a favor around KBF time. Which one of you has a van?

You can get Great Lakes' beers in KY.

Cool! I guess I'll be the one traveling via van, then!

I'm loving the Summer Wacko by Magic Hat . . . brewed and colored with beets!!! Crazy! I got one in a bar and it looked like red Kool Aid but tasted delicious! . . . it was not until I bought a six pack that I saw the label where it mentions the beets. Very good brew, though . . . light, smooth, sweet and bready.

I'm having Lagunitas' Black Rain stout. It's pretty tasty stuff.

I had 2 Three Floyd's Dreadnaught on tap tonight. High alcohol, high hops, I'm happy.

Currently drinking a Franziskaner Hefeweizen, it is fantastic.

that's one of our favorite wheat beers. my wife and I first tried it in a little Bavarian style bar in Helen, GA.

This weekend I had a Stone IPA, Dogfish Head 60min IPA, and Sierra Neveda Torpedo Extra IPA - all were very good and extra hoppy. Followed the Torpedo with an Abita Purple Haze (which is usually a "starter" for me) and it tasted like water.

A nice little Summer thunderstorm rolling through. Watching it all happen with a New Belgium "Mothership Wit" Wheat Beer. It's OK, but there are other beers of this style that I've enjoyed more. Of the 3 NB brews that have made it to this market (Fat Tire, 1554, and Mothership), this one is a distant third in the line-up.
Deans and E3's mention of the Franziskaner Hefeweizen, has me hankerin' for my favorite German hef...Weihenstephaner. My longtime German neighbor, Walter, introduced me to it last Summer. I immediately loved it.
