Jesus said in the last days there would be an outpouring of signs and wonders, but i never could have fathomed this.<BR/>- at one time, bridgeport IPA was among the top three IPAs on the general market. something has happened to the beer in recent years. it's not as good as it once was. not a potent and beautiful and "ooo, damn, i'll have another immediately following this one." still, i am glad that it made #4 on your list; i just remember a time when it could have easily been #3. sigh.<BR/><BR/>your list has grabbed my attention. and my curiosities. this post makes me feel like i'm the dude at the party that all the girls hit on, and i'm kinda tired of it, but then i look across the room and see this other girl (your post) and she's all not hitting on me, in fact, she's giving me a bit of stink eye and so i feel crazy nuts just to get near her and unshroud her mysteries but not her shoulder because i just met her and i'm not a perv even though i'm at parties and i'm looking to score it would seem by the story i've concocted here and i didn't mean anything by using a word that had the "cock" sound in the middle of it while talking about men and women and oh bollocks.<BR/><BR/>what i'm trying to say is that this post has made me all the more excited to drink beer with you in june on jesse's backporch. we will have much to taste and compare. bring a water bottle and i'll bring the saltless crackers. the taste test is on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869083807077103482.post-25218084932624942192009-03-14T11:16:00.000-07:002009-03-14T11:16:00.000-07:00I think the only variable that might have swayed m...I think the only variable that might have swayed my decisions was the situation, or my attitude at the moment of consumption. I had the Double Wide on tap right after school got out on a Friday...that may have boosted its appeal. The other brews were sampled in my house...but some were sampled while I was alone in the daylight, some in the wee hours in the midst of good conversation. So, maybe next time I will try to sample them all in a similar atmosphere...maybe after some yoga.and the only prescription is...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01366549739848834624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869083807077103482.post-618153149117186262009-03-14T08:45:00.000-07:002009-03-14T08:45:00.000-07:00once again i rushed through reading the post. i gu...once again i rushed through reading the post. i guess i am also surprised about the boulevard. i've had it twice on tap and both times felt like it was not spectacular.

I was surprised to see Boulevard as #1 (Wow, way to go KC)and the Two Hearted getting the 9er. I'm glad O'fallon was at the top.

We did something similar, the hamster, seth and i, and guess what? We ALL voted the Schlafly APA the worst by far! What!?. yes. <BR/><BR/>What i mean to say is that our buds can poke us the wrong direction after being beaten up by another ipa. This is why i feel like i need to give that damn bear republic puke in a bottle that is the hop rod rye another chance. i don't want to, but i must. <BR/><BR/>with that said, thanks for taking on such a task alone. <BR/>ps. i went out to granite city again today and they were completely out of Three Floyds! I was pissed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
