Unfortunately I am on the other side of the country from where it is produced so I am not sure if I will be able to find it locally (and definitely not until the fall/winter).  It looks like Howe Sound has lots of interesting beers though, I will keep my eyes open for their stuff.

Now that summer is coming I need to find a nice wheat beer.  Its funny how the change in weather totally changes your tastes.  I don't remember what it was called, but I tried some Sierra Nevada seasonal wheat beer that was really tasty.  It was refreshing but still had a very pronounced spicy flavor.

Last night I had some Flying Monkeys Brewery The Matador.  Its a special anniversary IPA that has been aged on spanish cedar.  It had such a strong cedar flavor.  It kind of tasted like drinking a beer out of my humidor.  I give any beer bonus points if I have never tasted anything like it before!

I think my favorite Dogfish Head is the Noble Rot. Though I also like the 120 minute IPA, World Wide Stout, and Raison D'Etre. The latter you can get in six-packs around here so it's a session staple. Actually, I'm not too far away from the brewery period, which is probably why it tends to be pretty commonplace around here.

If you can find it, the ApriHop is another nice IPA from them that's quite balanced, a great summer beer.

If you can find Tripel Karmeliet in brown bottles rather than green ones, there's your ideal summer beer. Unless you're one of those weirdos that thinks Stone Ruination is ideal summer beer. Mmmm... Stone... Ruination... excuse me, I need to wipe my chin.

90 minute IPA is interesting- malty.  Got to City Beer in SF too late to have the 120 minute IPA (on my list to try).  Noble Rot sounds interesting- Botrytis instead of a Bret infusion (a la BRUX)??


Tripel Karmeliet off tap is one of my absolute favorites
