The problem with ALPINE

[thewiz]

Wheat beers are probably...

my least favorite brews. The unfiltered ones (Weizen)are too sweet (banana overtones) and too yeasty for my palate ... I do like some filtered wheat ales though. I lean toward the bigger beers that are bitter or bitter vs. sweet styles ... IPAs, Scottish Ales, Barley wine ale when I can find it.

thewiz- did you try some wheat beer?

I found out about Yuengling when i first moved to PA in 92. Now i'm finding it in restaurants in NY, so it's getting around

subjects having been a part of the original micro brew and U brew movements here in the US. Born and raised mostly in Pennsylvania, my first brews were Ballantine, Schlitz, Shaeffer, Lucky Lager and so on. Somehow until just this year I had never drank, or was really ever aware of, was a beer called Yuengling Lager ... that is unitl Spring 2008 while visiting my mother ... my world travelling little brother brought a case of it with. Now the Yuengling Brewery is the oldest in the US... and I didn't even know it. Dunno how a beer that good escaped my discovering it for so long either. Not available outside that region, I guess. Sounds like Alpine is that in that category of great beers too !!

Yuengling is a great beer...they make a Porter,Black and Tan and a Lager...they are all very good.I plan to bring some of the finest Tequila you'll ever be likely to try...you'll swear its not Tequila!I'll definitely have a bottle for XSEast..this stuff will just blow you away!...in a good way OFC!

it would be an import. there is a alpine beer co. in ca. but that has ale. open in 2002. we are talking lager, dude

Alpine

Its a local beer from New Brunswick Canada 5.2% a lager. But it is only sold in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

ok ben. i read you have a route planed for the ride up. a ride to the rally. picking people up from all the states we ride thru.

Sounds good to me...about picking up other people from other states...I think you are referring to the posting on the MOM in Texas next June...however I am open to as many people along the way to XSEast that wanna join in...my route could come thru CT...so nothing is totally set ...as of yetBTW I can bring some of the finest Tequila you're ever likely to try.

[blue giant]

We'll likely pick you guy's up on the way! We can work out the details as winter winds down.
