If any of you snow people ever head up to Baker, stop by North Fork Brewing and open your wallet. They have killer sours for such a podunk out of the way little brewery. They're awfully proud of them, though. Taught me to always ask for the price before the growler fill. "SIXTY-SEVEN DOLLARS!?" That is a great little brewery.ATBS, I loathe sours. Your hatred of Euro Fag beer causes me much befuddlement. #MeTooThere's so much there. Disliking all sours is pretty understandable and common. Clean German and Austrian lagers and less clean Czech ones? Hybrids like Kolsch/Altbier? Hefeweizen? Belgian wit? The entire range of Belgians? Abundance? Janet Reno?Sounds like a lot of haie in his life, but I'll repeat: To each their own. Cheers-- I tried hard to like Belgians, to fit in you see. I've been to Monk's in Philly several times. I'd still probably dig Delerium Tremens. It's been so long I can't really remember the exact reasons why, but I think it's the yeast strains used. I don't like the banana-y esters or the bubblegummy flavors.I can enjoy a good lager on occasion, same with an Alt or Kolsch. Alaskan Amber was my favorite beer for a long time. But I don't care for the malting style of the German dark beers.Over time, I found what I enjoyed most are the English-originated styles. Porters, stouts, IPA, pales, and my GOATs, Imperial/Export Stouts. I had the @UW_Doog_Bot English IPA. It has some floaties in it but was very tasty. The yeast is good for you.

Bleh, sours all the rage right now and I have very little interest. Did you grow a handlebar mustache to improve the salty after taste? I can't grow a mustache asshole. Norwegian solidarity my frend!

@BleachedAnusDawg @ThomasFremont @CFetters_Nacho_Lover ??Thanks Bleached Anus Doog on the tip on Cantillon. So this is the one I've been into lately. It's always in stock at Whole Foods and darn tasty. That’s a good one. However, in recent tastings it was a lot sweeter than I remember. Lowered my score somewhat. This is my jam...

Does Founders make it to you? - their imperial stout (plain, not KBS or CBS) is my go-to if'n I don't have of my own available.
Last tim I did the Deschutes Brewery tour, they pretty much gave me ass much Abyss as I wanted at the end in the tasting room. Got decently loaded on amazing beer for zero dollars.
