Joe & Bobbi - Thanks for having us over last night, and the beer costumes made by Bobbi & her mother were wünderbar! It was also self-affirming to see so many...
I like option (3) "3) Each month, we let the hosts pick when they want to hold the event" Of course, additional events on any given month are welcome, too!...

Hi Joe, I am a fan of Halloween, sure. There are a lot of things I'd rather do on Halloween than pass out candy, though. Some years it has made a good excuse...
I agree. November meetings have always been bad for me as I usually travel north for turkey day and unfortunately this year I will be eating burritos and...
First off, thanks Joe and Bobbi for hosting, that was a nice mellow get together last night. I want more Creme Brulee and actually stopped at Sylvan Market on...
Hi Guys, Sorry, Joe & Bobbi for missing the Halloween night but with a 5 and a 3 year old this is one of the most important holidays of the year to them. It...

I'm not a fan of Backwoods Bastard, but I am curious about the new Bells Christmas Ale. How is it? ... From: su30@... <su30@...> Subject: Fine Beer...

Gee, Tom, I thought you were "impressed" with the Gluek beers I brought to Mick's a couple meetings ago! Now you say you are going to try to bring the worst?...
Hmm, I don't even remember the Glueck. But I did have a good time at Mick's and remember the Martian-themed pinball game that played video! As for the rating...
I got a 6 of the Christmas Ale and a 4 pack of the Backwoods Bastard today. Neither one really is remarkable. The Bell's is a bit plain to me, and the...
I was also dissapointed with the Bells xmas ale. It tasted a little thin to me. This years batch of Sierra Nevada Celebration is excellent, as is the Great...
I'm not a fan of the new Bell's Christmas ale - not much to it. If you're into holiday beers, a MUCH better pick is Leionenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown Ale...

I have a chance to grab a bottle of it this weekend, but I'm not swayed to purchase it since they want a bit more than what I see it go for online. Is it...
Putting "Chocolate" and "Bock" together is as about as comforting as "Kidney" and "Stone", but I'd like to try one with an open mind. I always wrote off the...
I 2nd Tom's advice on aging beer on top of the fridge. I would also like to add that the bock will gain additional complexity if kept at temps above 80...
I prefer to age my beer right in there with my agave plants under blazing heat lamps with a healthy dose of UV grow lights. I find that this helps to bring out...

I ended up passing on it. It was just not worth cost to me, and I didn't think it would turn out to be anything special. Pineridge still has a bunch of...
