Are there really any good beers in Tasmania? And pink elephant beer = the shit...

There are some ok beers i guess, nothing special imo. Also i wouldnt care if the pink Elephant beer was horrible, id still like it. Elephants are the shit

Tonight I shall drink some Budweiser, with a side of Jack from the bottle.

tonight's choice thanks to the lady:
Flying Dog "Garde Dog" seasonal.

Yuengling bock beer is out of season now, so I've been drinking Red Stripe....with occasional shots of Wild Turkey American Honey...

Flyin' Dog Garde Dog isn't a bad beer at all... I was actually quite surprised. I still want to get my hands on a Flyin' Dog Ragin' Bitch though. :(

I made it a Saranac night with a Belgian Ale, Winter Lager, and Rye IPA. http://www.saranac.com/

Would it bother you at all if I told you I had a semi-local (roughly 45 minutes out) beer shop where I can get Raging Bitch on a fairly regular basis?

Yes it would... Haha! If you were State-side I would say I could trade some locals with you for it.

Next time I get some I'll set on aside with your name on it...I'll send it along with that other package if it ever comes to be.

You sir, are a man among men... You will be rewarded when you get back to the States. Maybe even some Arby's. Haha!

Well, somebody just screwed themselves out of some beer :twofinger






J/k...but really, that was not cool :giggle:

Haha!!! I already have some set aside to send your way when you get back. What is your preference as far as style goes?

Plus I figured Arby's was the least I could do, as it won't ship well to Germany for ya.

I'll try anything, I guess I'm leaning more towards Belgian strong ales and sours lately just given my location in the world, but I'm a big fan of IPA's, Impy Stouts, bocks, pretty much anything you put in front of me that's not brewed by Bud, Miller, or Coor's :giggle: In other words a few good locals'll be just fine by me anytime.

Here are the three breweries local to myself... Make a list and PM me. They will be sent your way upon your arrival in the States.

Flying dog opened a brewery up in maryland not too long ago. they're officially a local beer now. w00t.

just saw that. truer words have never been spoken.

I hate goddamn frozen glasses

Everything FD I've found in Belgium/Germany was brewed in MD according to the labels. Pretty neat that it's made it over here but you can't find it there.

QFT! I have refused quite a few beers due to this reason...

Getting FD here is not a problem... It's just getting ahold of their rare/limited releases that are the problem.

Oh, to half-way get this thread back for it's originalyl intended purpose... Enjoying a "Reb Ale" from Lazy Magnolia brewery in Mississippi right now. I've had better for sure but it's actually quite enjoyable.

Going to my local taproom tonight... So, too many to list. If I have one after I get home I will share.
