    Schell's North Country Brunette:

    Pretty solid beer. Very dry, a little sour (I hate sour beers, FTR), definitely worth a try.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      I looked for the North Country Brunette the last time I was at the liquor store, couldn't find it...hmmm

      Finished my last bottle of the Game of Thrones: Fire and Blood tonight, while watching the season finale a day late. I still think that is an excellent beer.

        It is all over in my area. Surprised Northgate doesn't have it.

          That's where I looked last Wednesday or Thursday. Couldn't find it, but I didn't ask about it, so I could have just missed it.

            If need be, I'll pick up a bottle for the 28th to donate.

              Ok.

              I'm trying to figure out what beer to buy for that. I want to have some on ice at the house for the afternoon, including beer darts, and then we're going to need some on the bus. The tricky part there is we're going to have to figure out exactly how much we'll need and put it in styrofoam coolers, because we're going to have to just throw them away when we get dumped in Anoka.

                Just go cheap and get Premo and Nordeast, with the couple bombers you have saved for that day. If need be, request that everyone bring a sixer or a bomber for the event.

                  Yeah, that is what I was thinking. I have enough good stuff, I just need the cheap stuff.

                    It's a marathon, so cheap is good. And Premo/Nordeast is good AND cheap.

                      Intriguing enough to buy, gonna save it for just a bit. Maybe a birthday beer. Boulevard has not done wrong by me yet...

                        We've had the #3 when it was out. I gave it 4.5 stars, so that was pretty good. #4 must be their next batch of the stuff.

                          Tomorrow night I'm going to a bar that (supposedly, according to their beermenus.com page that hasn't been updated in two weeks) has KBS in bottles. Hopeful.

                            Debating on when to have mine. And I might try and convince Rubette to give me hers, since she won't be able to drink it for quite some time (at least a year from now, and that might be pushing it).

                                Yes. It was announced in the Lodge a bit ago (NO FACEBOOK PLEASE). Due in late January. Wasn't exactly our plan, but it is a blessing. S/he is referred to as Rube(tte)V.2.

                                And she said I could have her KBS.
