If you're looking for a good, hoppy IPA:

Here is my current favorite MD local IPA. May be hard to find outside the region.

Another tasty, probably more widely available one:

Delicious beer.... almost perfect in its style.
Don’t recall ever seeing this label or perhaps I was never looking for it, but it’s right up my beer alley. I’ll have to go look for it. Interesting history too. The brewery, Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus, indicates that it is a state run brewery of Baden-Württemberg. Tannenzäpfle Means “little fir cones” for the trees in its Black Forest zone.
Let me know if you are able to find it. It’s my second favorite beer!
Was able to find it at a local beer superstore. It had just come in and took home a sixpack. Top notch pils. Well balanced, fresh, crisp and delicious. Everything one wants in a beer.

Jever is still my favorite but it’s become increasingly hard to find. Jever was best when I could walk to the German restaurant Ludwig’s on Sansom St in Center City where it was on tap.

Thanks for the tip. Rothaus will be in my rotation.
Drinking this tonight! Never had it before..

Have not seen that one. Hmm. Up your way is the Schilling Brewing Co in Littleton, NH. Solis and ever changing lineup of beers. Currently have the Alexandr ‘10 Czech-Style Pilsner. Good solid beers. Have you had any?

Red Prince, delightful Marzen Lager. Fort Hill Brewery, Easthampton. Mass. Fall is a great time of year for darker beers with strong malt profiles.

No. I have not. Will look. There is a spot in NYS I want to hit. Suarez Family. Pilsner is supposedly top notch. Had the Rothaus. It’s excellent. A little light for a Marzen but delicious. Buying more on Tuesday

Islay's distilleries
Islay is one of five whisky distilling localities and regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law.[128] There are eight active distilleries and the industry is the island's second largest employer after agriculture.[129][130] Those on the south of the island produce malts with a very strong peaty flavour, considered to be the most intensely flavoured of all whiskies. From east to west they are Ardbeg, Lagavulin, and Laphroaig. On the north of the island Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain are produced, which are substantially lighter in taste.[131][132] Kilchoman is a microdistillery opened in 2005 toward the west coast of the Rinns.[133]


Lagavulin distillery
The oldest record of a legal distillery on the island refers to Bowmore in 1779 and at one time there were up to 23 distilleries in operation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islay

Those boys are all about it, take their whisky pretty seriously.
Should go hang with those lads for a week or so, a fan. Write the whole thing off as a business expense.
Enjoying some Ardbeg while watching the ballgame. I typically go with Laphroaig but purchased this to compare the two. About a third of the way through bottle and like the Laphroaig a bit better....but no complaints from me.

If you get a chance, watch some of the YouTube videos from Laphroaig when people try it for the first time.....hilarious.

Officials are clearing the scene after a semi truck hauling Leinenkugel's beer crashed Wednesday morning near Hixton, Wisconsin.

According to the Wisconsin State Patrol, at about 9:15 a.m., authorities responded to a rollover crash involving a semitruck on I-94 in Jackson County.

The right lane was closed for a period of time as officials cleared the scene.

The crash is under investigation.

Bunnahabhain has been my favorite Scotch goin' on 40 or so years now. Even went to Islay many years ago to tour the distillery. It's regular expression is unpeated, but they have come out with a peated one, if that's your taste. It's the Toiteach A Dha for one....and there's a bunch of limited releases...

Thanks. I rarely see that brand, unless I am at a total wine, which is not really that close in my travels. Just started dabbling with scotch and irish whisky the past 5 years....primarily a bourbon guy, but nice to mix it up.

seacoaster recommended Oban as one he enjoys, and I am really enjoying the Balvenie DoubleWood.

Did a backpacking trip for a month during a year off from Hobart (what would've been my orig soph year). Was a mailman for a while and decided I needed to get the heck out of Binghamton for a little bit but knew I was going back to Geneva in August so bought a ticket to London, train to Aviamore then went through the mountains of Braemar, Edinburgh, Isle of Skye and Glasgow (cool dirty city) and back. Decent trip for folks that want to see stuff but don't want London/Paris or some wild LDC Sub Saharan Africa/Asia/Much of south & latin america type of environment. Lot of drinking there. My favorite was this Royal Lochnegar made by the Queen's castle, they produce Dalwhinnie there which is exported here. Otherwise give me something "peety" (sp?) that's smoky as all get out.

Oh I've had it - had most scotches at this point. Occasionally you can find Lochnegar in a store here or there or duty free. Should put it on a list to try sometime. Next to a place called Balmoral Castle where it's produced. (looked it up didn't realize it's now owned by Diageo, bummer)

The trip was the start of my love of seeing the rest of the world which started with Europe (incl ex USSR block countries which were awesome late 90s early 2000s before modern Europe sanitized the 'ish out of those countries then branched out to parts of Latin/S America and India/Asia though still need SE Asia, more of S America and definitely need to be in Africa at some point and not just Casablanca but waiting a little longer until I wouldn't be pissed as heck at kids for wasting the cost on the two extra bodies, maybe 1-3 more years, my daughter makes Marie Antionette look like the character from North Country at times).
