Now yes, folks I realize this list makes 120 beers. But in the natural course of things, beers will be added and subtracted according mostly to availability, and there are a few I have already reviewed. But I wanted to get them all out there.
So, what do YOU think? What am I missing? I would LOVE to hear all of your comments and suggestions. BRING ON THE BEER LOVE!!!
CHEERS!
Totally agree that you should get brad to ship you some Stateside.
Also, an easy to drink, delicious brew to have on the list is 21st Amendment’s Monk’s Blood.
Oh and I wonder if the Bruery’s Trade Winds Tripel will be out in May?
I’m surprised the Westmalle Tripel isn’t on the list.
It ultimately will be…
That sounds awesome.
Awesome idea! Only thing I would add is including Leffe Bruin to your list. One of my favs. Good luck (to your liver). I’ll be following along!
Holy cow, Laurie, you don’t do things small do you. Look forward to reading and maybe tasting with you at some point???
I can possibly ship you a bottle of the newly released, insanely popular (here on the east coast) “Stateside Saison” from new “Stillwater Artisanal Ales”
