That settles it...If I'm ever down in Tampa, we'll have a brew (or 50) at WOB. If you plan on going to Trader's just call ahead. Sometimes they can reserve your choices. I know our Trader's regularly cycles out stuff.

anyone try this stuff before? we got some in at work but I'm reluctant to try it. Its made with dandelions

I'd try it. It just looks good. Never had it though.

I haven't had moose drool but fat tire is really good for what it costs.

If you like Fat Tire, definitely try Moose Drool. I thought the moose drool was better.

I will have to give it a go if I can find it.

Does trader joes have a nice selection? I have one that is a lot more convenient to get to than the place I've been going to.

Went to a beer tasting thing tonight at a craft beer shop, it was held by a local brewery called Thomas Creek I picked up a growler of this.

Thomas Creek Chocolate Orange IPA - Thomas Creek Brewery - Greenville, SC - BeerAdvocate

and tried these

Thomas Creek Conduplico Immundus Monachus - Thomas Creek Brewery - Greenville, SC - BeerAdvocate

Thomas Creek Banana Split Chocolate Stout - Thomas Creek Brewery - Greenville, SC - BeerAdvocate

all were very good orange was definitely my favorite my friend picked up a growler of the Conduplico aka double dirty monk, that shit is no joke. I'm not going to crack mine open tonight though definitely tommorow will get pics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif

Never had moose Drool but when I get my home brewing kit I plan on trying the Caribou Slobber, a Moose Drool copycat recipe. I have read nothing but good reviews about both //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Moose Drool was really good. I need to do a side-by-side with Newcastle, but it was definitely better than Fat Tire. I'm sure you'll enjoy that kit.

Friday night at red lion. About to partake in this:

Gulpener Korenwolf

I fell in love with this stuff the first time I was in A-Dam now it's all I drink when I go to the Netherlands. Sometimes I can find it in Germany too.

I haven't been able to find a state side distributor yet..

It's alot like Hoegaarden it's a Wit Bier... Lot's of lemon and Corriander and orange hints. Many compare it to a blue moon because it's in the Belgian White Style but it's not all perfumeish like the Blue IMHO

If you ever get a chance to try what I call the Hampster Beer give it a taste.

Korenwolf "Dutch For Gerbil" is a reference to the little guys that used to hang out at the brewery and munch on the grains used in the brewing process back in the old times.

Thomas Creek Chocolate Orange IPA

Really weird combination for an ipa but I like it and I'm not a big ipa fan.
