Drinking a St. Arnold Summer Pils at the moment. It's a decent summer, beach-type beer.

I also managed to pick up a pricey six-pack of St. Arnold's Divine Reserve (No. 12), which was released today, but in a very limited batch. There were lines in most stores up in Houston, where St. Arnold is brewed. They recommend storing it cold for about a year before drinking it, to fully develop. Don't know if I'll be able to wait that long to sample it!

A few years ago I bought about 30 bottles of barley wines, old ales, double IPAs and whatnot from a friend who was moving to Alaska. He kept some of cellar but there wasn't room for all of it for the drive north. He had done the hard part of aging some of the bottles 2 and 3 years. For about 9 months I was able to do dutiful things like buy the 6 of Bigfoot, add a few 22 ozs that are better aged and not totally drain the cellar. Then came along the semi-annual news story about how we're due in the next 10 minutes or 500 years for a 9.7 earthquake that'll cause Eugene to have ocean front property. La la la la drink for today. :) Cellar free since 2009. But try to hide 2 or 3.

LOL, that sounds like it would have been quite an enjoyable undertaking. Not sure I'd have been able to hold off sampling them as long as you did!

Outside of Mexico I haven't found many really good beers in Latin America, as they generally lean toward light lagers & not-very-hoppy Pilseners. But Mexico has some excellent beers, including Bohemia and Negra Modelo, two of my favorites.

One of the best bang for the buck Belgian blonds is Affligem, which I get for $2.25 a bottle. It's infinitely better than Leffe.

Good stuff from Blandford Forum. :cool: The 'Blandford Fly' is one of my favourites from there (they seem to have re-branded it to 'Flyer').

This one is also nice..

"At the heart of many a countryside village can be found an inn. A place where locals go to relax after a long day. At one such inn, rumour has it that inquisitive ferrets would sneak to the back door to cheekily sample the local brew. Fursty Ferret has a sweet nutty palate, hoppy aroma and a hint of Seville oranges, give this tawny amber ale its distinctive personality. Recommended with smooth and creamy West Country Cheddar or indulgent pork pies and mustard."

These guys could out-hype Dusty Groove ! :lol:
