  Sounds like you do. Is that a valid legal reason for getting out of a rental agreement? "They don't have a variety of beer in the area".

It's basically Strongbow but the total prep time to get it fermenting is about 20 minutes. Apple juice, dextrose, wine yeast, done. Let it sit for 2 months. Total cost will be right around $20 for 5 gallons. And it'll get you ****ed up right quick.

  This is exactly what's on my primary right now. I was trying to find a decent hard cider recipe a few weeks back and found this.
  
  Currently enjoying my imperial nut brown ale, possibly my best homebrew yet.

  That blows. I have some in my fridge. I hope we just have opposite beer tastes. Ever have Summer Ale?

  Summer ale is alright. Switched over to sierra nevada pale ale.

  That's crazy. Tried searching ratebeer and beeradvocate for "fort pitt" and neither found anything.

  Bought 6 of those last weekend from Valley Wine Cellar and crushed them but thoroughly enjoyed them. Good shit.

  I'll leave it for another 3 weeks. A buddy of mine told me to let it sit for 5 months. Depending on how this goes, i'll probably make another batch and let it sit a few months.

  Just got back from the wine shop and I picked up some Dogfish Head Punkin Ale and a bottle of the banana bread beer. Pretty stoked to find this place!

  Great choices. I love the banana bread beer. Its def unique.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  Yeah, I'm pretty pumped to try both. The shop has a whole section of beers that I have never even seen anywhere else in my area.

  That's awesome you can have a brew at work. When's the whiskey like in Mad Men start flowing?

  Hence the party at work. You should dispose of all the croutons and raisin bran in the office before leaving work today.

  What are some of the better Dogfish Head beers you guys would recommend? Have been wanting to try some for quite a while now, but never got around to it.
