This is when I should mess with all of you and start talking about sours.
Belgian? Flanders Red Ale? "Flemish Sours"? I am a Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge fan.
Have tasted some of the Almanac Beer Co. but haven't found one to beat Jacobins yet.
New Belgian "Lips Of Faith La Jolie" is okay if you can't find the Jacobin.
Rodenbach can also be an introduction.
That oughtta rile up the beertelligentsia.  :& :)p5

Doesn't rile me up, in-face Jacobins is my favorite sour I've ever drank, the only Flemish Red style that's comparable that I've had was Madame Rose. I do love the Duchesse though!

Destihl is doing well with their "Wild Sour" series. Here Gose Nothin' has been a hit with me.

^Oh, Destihl?  I will have to try...


For you Belgian-talkers:  http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1255/


I LOVE Monk's.  I didn't pay attention when I was last there and missed out on PLINY THE YOUNGER that they had a keg of during the week I was in Philly.  People stay in line for 3+ hours at Russian River in California to have that. 


BTW, the food at Monk's is fantastic too.  Get their scallops and mussels at ONE in the morning.  Crazy.  I want this place in the Bay Area.

I go to Monk's at least a few times a year, I live not far from there. Great mussles and frites.

Those of you in the Bay Area of SF may remember a cold Anchor Steam on a warm summer day. Still a great beer on a hot summer day. Or with some good Mexican-American food. Only using that term because it's hard to find the real deal.  No, not complex, layered etc. But still a good beer with a burger or a Polish dog at the ballpark.

And Anchor Steam would have died if Fritz Maytag didn't happen to have one when they were in their death throes.  He was a student at Stanford (roommate to Paul Draper of the awesome Ridge wine label) when he had an Anchor Steam at the Dutch Goose in Menlo Park.  He said he finally found a great beer & the bartender told him to enjoy it because it was shutting down.  Fritz didn't have much money from the Maytag fortune but he raised enough to save Anchor Steam and only quit running it 5 or so years ago.  He spent a year in Germany learning how to brew, IIRC.  The holiday brew was Fritz and spices having fun each year-end and I got to enjoy a few of those magnums...so good.  Wasn't a fan of Old Potrero Rye, but still love Anchor.  I grew up across the street from the guy who designed the first Anchor label the old way- by hand and T-square. 
If you like blue cheese- try Maytag Blue and raise a glass to Fritz.  That's him too.

Picked up a bottle of Schneider Weisse Tap 4. 'Tis a certified organic German wheat beer that is very tasty.

Lots of head, a nice tasty, spicy flavour with nice hops and a medium body. On the sweet side, so probably tough to put down more than a couple. A good flavour though, and a nice German brew. Very happy with it overall.

At 6.2%, it checks many boxes in my books.

Also, I am drinking this alone, while my girlfriend watches The Bachelorette.
